Obviously this immigrant did not understand the Korean mind.

Two sisters-in-law and a stepdaughter of a Vietnamese immigrant wife were fined for beating her after she allegedly failed to tend to her mother-in-law's needs.

A district court in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, imposed a fine of 700,000 won each on the women, both in their forties. It also slapped a 300,000-won fine on the 26-year-old stepdaughter on the same charges.

The sisters-in-law said they had been unsatisfied with the woman's care of their mother.

They beat her in a fit of anger after she bowed at the funeral of the mother, who passed away on June 30. The victim suffered injuries that will take three weeks to heal, according to police.

When they beat her, do you think they saved her face?

700,000 won. Big whoop.

On the other hand, at least the Korea Times actually published this story. I also wonder what actually went on in this situation that made the three women so hysterically angry when the wife bowed at the mother's funeral......

This country is in many ways still based on slavery of various kinds.

I heard from some Korean old guys, who told stories of the Soldiers who went to help out the AMericans in VIETNAM during the war..

they said the Koreans were [Mod Edit] in that war..
boarderline sickos! they would skin their victims, chop off their ears, cut their heads off etc.. The koreans were feared!
and this was coming from the USA guys and Koreans..

Blame japan as much as you want.. yes they did terrible things..
china, rome, english, sweden, etc etc etc...
IT'S WAR! your dirtiest playing comes out in a war!

The long term occupation a country and the attempted cultural genocide of its people is not 'War'.

What the Japanese attempted in Korea WAS genocide. When you say that a groupof people must change their name, their language and their way of life, that's genocide. When you impregnate women through rape, and force them to give birth to your children...that's genocide.

I'm from a Jewish family, and what Hitler did in Europe was sickening. However, to claim that because Hitler did that, then anything less than that must be tolerated??? What? Using that argument, Jewish people should stop complaining because Stalin was apparently much more brutal than Hitler? Two wrongs don't make a right. Attempted genocide is attempted genocide, whether it's in Europe, America, Australia, Canada, Korea, or New Zealand....it's wrong. We should not forget.
