She goes by 담배 녀 on youtube, which literally means smoking lady.
I think this is the most recent incident. She's the same person who threw the beer on the elderly man. Someone needs to check her into a clinic before something worse happens. |

Can't really say who started this, something may have incited her right before the footage started.
One thing is for sure, he retaliated pretty hard, slamming her up against the door and then down on the seat. Korea is pretty strict when it comes to that sort of thing. He could face charges. |

lol you're kidding obviously? Being sarcastic?
Beating up women is very tolerated in this society. I'd be extremely surprised if the guy faces charges, or if he even spends a night in jail. Never mind that he could easily have killed her.
The severe penalties that you are imagining apply mostly to foreigners. If you so much as step on ajosshis toe you are likely to find yourself being robbed of your assets at the police station. |

Well, no, I was not kidding or being sarcastic.
I think the tolerance you are talking about is the "behind close doors" spousal abuse, not the public striking of another.
Striking another person will get even Koreans a trip to jail...or at least a trip to the police department. Haven't you ever seen a skirmish between several Koreans where they are all holding on to each other but there is no punching??I saw one in my first week Sept07(actually kind of funny to watch) and asked about it-they know anyone who throws a punch goes to jail. |

In private matters, you're absolutely correct. In public matters, you're far off the mark. The police won't do anything about a husband beating his wife, but there will most certainly be blood money involved in a case between strangers. |

pahahaha... 
That accounts for the several times I've seen korean men openly punching or beating the daylights out of women in the street?
And seen police do next to nothing about it?
Sure, two guys striking eachother is taken seriously. But man on woman violence does not raise any eyebrows here. It serves the purpose of keeping women in their place.
Hence the fact (demonstrated by me earlier) that korean men get away with smoking on the subway..
Yet the moment a Korean woman lights up..the nearest korean male sees it as his right to smash her into a wall with all his might.
And most korean onlookers will either do absolutely nothing...or give the thumbs up.
This country is basically like Afghanistan. Women can get nearly killed in the public street and everyone nods in approval.
You must be new to Korea? |

Not new to Korea, Julius. In case you missed, I wrote about a skirmish I witnessed in September 2007.
And btw, I never mentioned a thing about severe penalties. I said the guy could face charges. And I stand by that, especially if the cops were able to view that video. A Korean man can not do that to a korean woman he does not know with impunity.
Northway knows what I am talking about. |

You didn't demonstrate anything. You showed two videos of ajosshis smoking. Those videos aren't the complete record of ajosshis smoking on the subway.
Well there happens to be a video of that subway lady with her smoking and no one giving a hoot.
The only other things you proved were your complete inability to recognize the facts of the case including your laughably inaccurate claim that the lady was sitting there silently.
And again, these videos are probably not the only time she has done this, but the lack of severe facial bruising indicates she has not been beaten to a pulp on a regular basis.
And of course next time, a woman could attack her. Unless I'm wrong and there aren't any famous youtube videos of ajummas attacking other women on the subway for no reason...
And sorry, but smoking on the subway while drinking and cursing up a storm is a bit different. There, there pretty much is a reason. For one, its a safety hazard and there isn't the greatest ventilation. Also there's the whole history of subway terrorism and fires.
But hey, its not like alcohol and fire are some sort of flammable mixture or anything (Obviously not a Hite or Soju, but who knows, maybe she doctored it up)....
And lastly, I think in just about any country such actions would get a rise out of people. Unless you think some lady cursing, drinking, and smoking, and then pouring a beer over someone's head when they tried to make them stop would result in a spirited debate in iambic pentameter.
You do realize that many people don't see this incident as "man vs. woman" but "non-smokers vs. smoker" or even "normal person vs. jerk/nut" , right? |

...Whereas you have zero videos to back up your point..
Not to mention the amount of times I myself have seen ajosshis smoking in the subway and being ignored. I've even lit up myself and nobody batted an eyelid.
But should a female try the same? Bang! a swift smack to the head.
Korea also has a traditional bad attitude to women smoking which you don't seem to realize. It is supposed to mean she is a prostitute. So that only adds to the negativity.

Thats because nobody else was in the subway car you teat.

just for 3 out of the 4 occasions.

And a fairy godmother could pole vault over the moon.
You keep mentioning hypothetical situations that don't exist. Stick to the facts.

Of course I agree that smoking on the subway is not a good idea.
Where we differ is that I don't think it warrants physical assault. The lady did not get violent with anyone first- she acted in self-defence aat men attacking her.
Having a smoke is not deserving of attempted murder. You simply call the station guard using the number provided. |
