Just as we thought we’d seen the back of the recent spate of Ladygate scandals, news was breaking earlier this week of ‘Sexual Harassment Grandpa’ who, despite not being a lady, nevertheless managed to earn his title on some form of public transport. According to the young university student who was the target of his very offensive charm offensive, Sexual Harassment Grandpa allegedly came up to her and said:

"You look ripe for gangbang. Good for gangbanging. Do you know what a gangbang is? That’s what you are, a gangbang."

A widespread atmosphere of relaxed attitude towards sexual violence and the culture of acquiescence and silence has been reported by koreaBANG before. But the growing public distrust of allegedly incompetent police is now encouraging many victims of crime to take the law into their own hands.

The original victim of the alleged abuse put the pictures up on her blog but mainstream news media is relaying them with Sexual Harassment Grandpa’s face censored.




Female student made a victim of verbal sexual-abuse on subway

A female university student who was made a victim of sexual harassment on subway has posted the suspect’s uncensored picture on the net, attracting wide attention. The netizens are expressing public angor and widely circulating the picture.

‘On the 7th of May, at 1 PM I was on the subway from Sadang station, and was victimized by an old man who verbally abused me’ went the story reportedly posted by a female university student on a portal site webboard.

According to her post, the oldman continuously mumbled ‘you look ripe for gangbang. Good for gangbanging. Do you know what gangbang is? That’s what you are, a gangbang’ at her. Taken aback by this abuse and not knowing what to do, she could only look away while he continued to verbally abuse her for next 3 stops. She wrote ‘I could not do or say anything because he was an oldman and I was such a shock that I could not even dial for police.’ In a state of bewilderment she took the photo of her assailant.

Seeing this, the oldman up the ante with more abuses: ‘What, photo? Take it, you are a gangbang. I am an idiot. Take my picture. Should I take your pants off and take some pictures too?’

The student got off at Shinrim Station and immediately reported to the police. But the police responded that ‘if you had called at the spot, we could have detained the man but this is too late already. It is impossible to find [him] with pictures alone.

She wrote ‘For 8 long minutes I was subjected to torrents of abuse in front of so many people and felt incredibly humiliated. I understand ‘gangbang’ is a word for gang-raping woman. I am so paralized by the sense of indignation now. I would very much like to serve him justice.’

In the posted article she posted the suspect’s photos uncensored.

Understandably it has unleashed massive online outcry. Netizen ’1122′ wrote ‘he would understand what he had done if his daughter was on the receiving end. Must be difficult being that brainless. Crazy fuck’ while ‘Padakpadall’ wrote ‘[W]hy are there so many crazy people on subway? Gosh..’ Jo-guk, a Seoul University professor and prolific Twitter commentator wrote ‘Wow, amazingly disgusting old man, let’s catch him.’

The student posted on her Twitter account at 12:50AM of the following day: ‘Thank you very much for this. I will tweet if he gets arrested.’

Comments from Daum:

"Absolute truth: Even the worst of thugs get old. Tons of old fart thugs out there."

"Am I the only one thinking about the Devil Equus and Devil Beast stories?? There are too many witch-hunt articles now… Maybe we should have more impartial and balanced view on these sort of articles…"

"What were people around her doing, not helping her at all? Someone should have at least reported to the Subway assistance service or something, this is very disappointing."

"By the way… What were people around here doing??? That’s the part I don’t understand… Crazy bastards!!"

"The female student got off straight at Shinrim Station to report to the police. But the police said ‘if you called us at the spot, we would have been able to catch the guy but it’s too late now. We can’t arrest a man just on photos.’ This really blows my mind off, she has the evidence yet the refuse to act on it"

I'd last about 5 minutes in a country where I was expected to put up with this kind of behavior from anyone just because they are older than I am. It sounds as though she didn't even feel like she could muster a death stare or an accidental high heel to the instep.

Yeah, it looks like he has a sort of supernatural power. The hierarchy system wouldn't be so bad if people would feel when they don't have to take it into consideration. Unfortunately, Korean mentality is sometimes way too much hierarchical.

Yet, I think it's not like a big percentage of people in Korea would act this way. All over the world, you can find people who freezes when shocked. And she was this type of person. Maybe differently tempered person would actually do something more than just taking a photo.

Been sitting on a bench in the subway station in Korea before and have had old men come up to me asking to buy me alcohol and go to a motel for some fun. One kept walking past me recording videos and when I confronted him and asked him to delete them the image that came up after he deleted my video was a video from some sort of photoshoot looking thing of a young girl in their underwear........and then he ran off.

'Do you know what gangbang is? That’s what you are, a gangbang’
What, photo? Take it, you are a gangbang

Technically someone can not be a gangbang, so I'm pretty sure this guy didn't know what it was either >_<

The police and justice system in Korea is one of the most messed up I have seen.
Do you really expect a girl to be able to react immediately and call the police? I'm sure she was in shock. I'm in shock just reading it. At least she was clever enough to think of taking a photo. I probably wouldn't have even been able to do that if someone randomly came up to me and said those kind of lewd things.

Let's hope detective netizens do their thing this time and help catch the guy b/c no other girl deserves to go through this.

sk also has a one year statute of limitation on rape. taking this into consideration, im pretty much convinced now that they don't give a fuck about victimized women so i'm not even a little surprised by this article.

netizens aren't going to do shit. they're all too busy drooling over their precious oppars and noonas.

The only time an old guy came up to me was in the subway, and he told me he was jealous of my white hands. He said he worked too much in the sun and was very dark skinned. When we got on the train he pointed out to all the ahjummas how pale I was. LOL

I can't believe the police's response to her. It sounds almost as if they're trying to blame her. And it was too late? Really? And you can't do anything with just a photo? Bitch, please. You could put that picture on the news and online. And without being blurred. Ugh, this shit aggravates me.
