Yes. "Simple men with struggles..." haha!

Maybe not too simple considering their obsession with "spying on women" in toilets, hotels, fitting rooms, etc...

Being a tech society with lots of sophisticated cameras all over their country...why are these men so "obsessed" with women's bodies?

The incidents of "peeping toms" have become alarming...even in the bathrooms of a broadcast tv network, KBS...

I know this is a big trend unfortunately, voyeurism is everywhere, so difficult to escape these issues. When I said simple, I hope you had quoted correctly. I mean, simple in the sense where they didn't take their behavior problem in account, and dont even try to ameliorate it for their own women, and mainly themselfs

I don't know how they cope with all of this shit. No wonder why women don't want to engage anymore. And mainly if they had to maintain a big and stressful career
As a "consequence" of not wanting to "engage" anymore, SK has been experiencing a steady decline in fertility rate/population growth...

More and more "marriage" age citizens are opting not to get married...and instead, "enjoying" a life of living alone...

Even when some procreate out of wedlock, women choose to abort their babies because of economic factors and social stigma...

And many Korean armees are "contented" with a parasocial relationship with their KPop idols...like betees... and often they say...

"Who needs a boyfriend when you have bts jungkook...or tae...or jn...or jm...or jh...or suga...or or ...nevermind...

It's a serious problem, actually...because this could lead to an "extinction" of their race...

Yes, I got it. All humans (both men & women) have everyday, mundane issues in life...which are quite normal, (and simple) of course...All part of the "daily grind" of life... :)

But voyeurism is not a simple problem... but rather a symptom of a deep psychological issue...

Jungkook OST has finally dropped, I quite like it, he sounds good. It's better than Christmas Tree and Yours by any rate lol. Still with you is still his best solo song so far I think. Will be interesting to see how much success the fans get for him. It's no1 on iTunes in all the big markets (US and Japan).

Beijing's crackdown on celebrity culture, saying celebs love of money is harmful to society. Seems many Chinese citizens support the new rules. One wrote on social media: "Society has given them too much and they give nothing back. They do not teach young people about the value and importance of humility and community in China."

Don't get me wrong China has huge human right issues - just find it intresting given the love of "all things that glitter" in SK.

The politicians of Beijing also "love money..." China should also make a "crackdown" on the "culture of corruption" in their political arena...

Showbiz and politics are two sides of the same coin...

Not saying I disagree but its a start and a recognition by a country that money corrupts your moral compass. Where you have a really unfair distribution of wealth it creates an environment for corruption to be rife. If there were no bill/trill'aires - the whole world would be a better place. What came first money or corruption?

If that "recognition" that "money corrupts your moral compass" is coming from a gov't whose leadership has the "moral ascendancy" to say that, then it would be easy to believe and support that...

However, knowing the kind of leadership that China has...and its corrupt practices...under the CCP...it's like hearing a notorious thief saying..."stealing is immoral..."

The hypocrisy is mind-boggling...

Greed comes first before money & corruption...

Money is a neutral, objective instrument...until human greed comes to use it for corruption...

That's kind of spurred the feminist movement in Seoul. The police acted fast when a man was filmed by a woman but did nothing when a woman filed the same complaint. Sk is placed 8th i think in the list of countries with the worst gender equality. No wonder their women don't want to get married or have kids with them. Their conservative party who are likely to win in the next election openly hate women. Their internet is filled with incels. Some time back I think there was something called "semen terrorism" that was big issue in sk
Having said that it's now b*s responsibility to repopulate their country as representatives of sk.
