I'm assuming if it's the first ever convicted, and it happened today, yes probably.

I was out at resteraunts and in public plaes all day and there were many witnesses.

I'm sure the judge will say that it is the wife's fault again, he killed himself because she didn't understand Korean culture.

No. Somehow this will be America's fault. And beef will be banned again.

loss of face... geez ... there's something really self-centered in taking shame so personally

what a cultural thing!

instead Mr. Korean: get over yourself, admit you were wrong, APOLOGIZE to those you've wronged, and move on with things

the size of the Korean ego is only surpassed by its fragility

only for 2 more weeks.. I don't think she was here long enough to get an F5... her sponsor is dead.. immigration has probably already told her to pack her bags.

Maybe the suspended sentence was conditional on him topping himself?
