The latest singing girl group is called the "Wondergirls." And they are girls, with the members being only 15 and 17 years old. Despite this, they've been dressed up like this ...
This doesn't seem appropriate to me. Why does every young female singer need to be dressed up in a sexy way, no matter the age? Some boundaries ought to be respected ... |

Now ask yourself if it's illegal for an adult (I'm talking about adults here... not teachers) to have sex with one of these girls?
I believe it's fine, by law. In parts of Canada, it would be. In the USA, it's not.
Kids that age shouldn't be having sex with adults (like Japan, IMHO), but this is Korea. It's not the USA (my home country) where the whole sexual abuse thing is starting to get waaay out-of-hand.
I can't even listen to AFN radio without feeling like I'm a pervert for feeling attracted to a woman of legal age. It's like one big rolling advertisment telling all men that they are pigs who should be put in jail. |

What boundaries and who are you to make them? In some countries legal age is 16 and even 14. Dating between a 21-24 year old man and a high school girl of 16 say is normal and frequent. Even long time ago my grandfather met my grandmother when he was in 20-21 and she was 16.
Plus a kid (male) who is 13-18 also likes to see his peers dressed more sexy.
Don't see the problem. |

I'm always amazed by the costumes they'll allow my high school (and even middle school) students to wear for dance competitions - and my town is very conservative. It's like they think that just because they're performing on stage it's all innocent and cute. Last year at our school music festival a couple of my grade 1 HS students looked like they were practically in their underwear. |

Remember that 15 and 17 years old Korean age relates to 16 and 18, respectively, western age. Although a little too young for me, sexy but creepy, in the eyes of the law (U.K) it's completely legal to tap it!! |

It's definitely culturally specific. In some places and in some ages I could see it, but not in Korea in this day and age. I teach a lot of 16-year-old girls and I can tell you that not a single one of them ready for a relationship with a 21-24-year-old man. |

15 and 17 in Korean years relates to 13/14 and 15/16 in western ages, actually. |

1989.07.11
1989.05.26
1992.06.06
1992.05.02
1992.06.27 |

Have you SEEN an American public High School lately?
How about a typical US mall where teens hangout. The way those Korean girls dress in that picture is a LOT more conservative than what you'd see U.S. teens wear nowadays.
I just left the US 3 months ago, and I don't think there have been any sweeping dress code legislations across the country since then.
Trust me. Next time you are in the US, go to the mall around 8pm on a Friday or Saturday night. You'd think you were in the red light district in Amsterdam. |

Where's that "I'd hit it like the fist of an angry god" pic when you need it?
Anyway, sex with these girls would be unfeasable since I'd probably be annoyed to hell after ten minutes with them. |

Yeah, I'm almost 29 and I hook up with 14 and 15 year olds sometimes. It's quite normal! The OP needs to get over himself and his repressive standards! |
