Chapter 301

Women’s groups visited the New Political Party headquarters in protest.

“Rep. Nam Seong-gwi defended pornography in the National Assembly, demeaned women’s rights, and insulted female politicians. The Federation of Women’s Organizations was shocked and terrified to see a member of the National Assembly representing the people uttering discriminatory and misogynistic nonsense without any guilt. We urge immediate party-level measures and countermeasures!”

As the protests grew, the New Political Party issued an apology comment.

“First of all, I would like to apologize to those who were hurt by Rep. Nam’s remarks. Our party recognizes that Rep. Nam’s remarks are very inappropriate and anti-human rights, and we take responsibility for it. We will initiate disciplinary procedures at the party level according to your request.”

However, Rep. Male Gui, who was the one who actually spoke to her, did not bend her will.

“What the hell is wrong with my remarks? Is it misogynistic and misogynistic in favor of legalizing porn? In Korea, prostitution is illegal, porn is illegal, and even importing sex dolls is illegal. How is this different from not making toilets and not urinating on the street? I would rather leave the New Political Party than be forced to apologize and force myself to apologize.”

The internet is buzzing again.

– Anyone can see that this is the man’s fault. Wrong she was born in Korea. It was the mistake of saying the right thing, not the bullshit, in the National Assembly.

– So what the hell are you talking about? I couldn’t find it even after looking through all the videos.

-Huh. If you don’t like it, say nothing.

– Haha, insulting female politicians. From now on, if Rep. Lee Jeong-hye speaks, be careful and listen!

– A real scholar has appeared to deal with the ten scholars!

– Ttt t t t t t t t s! How could such a person be a member of parliament? It is worth knowing the level of Korean politics. That’s the president sense!

-I would have thought that there would be such a great lawmaker in Korea.

– I sincerely apologize for swearing at the members of the National Assembly.

– Whether it’s a general election or a presidential election, as long as it comes out, I’ll take a picture.

– Senator Nam Seong-gwi will do everything for you. There is hope, there is hope.

-right. She said she had lived without hope… … .

-Is the new political party thinking or not? What are you going to punish me for?

-Why are you killing our senator?

– We must protect it! Men will join forces to protect it!

-If you discipline me, I will also leave the party!

– Let’s leave the New Politics Party together!

– This time, I left the New Political Party and founded Seonggwidang, Kazua!

-It’s a bit… … .

Thousands of articles about leaving the party were posted on the New Political Party website.

The New Political Party leadership, who was about to start the disciplinary process, was embarrassed. If you really discipline a member of the male ear, an exodus of party members may occur.

Protests from women’s groups continue to pour in, and a male lawmaker is holding out that he can’t apologize, and there are concerns that a large-scale party member will leave the party when she takes disciplinary action. However, she said that she should not be disciplined, and female lawmakers in the party are also objecting.

The party’s approval ratings were showing signs of declining in a situation where they could neither do this nor that. The only comforting thing is that the approval rating of the Liberal People’s Party is declining even more.

Jang Hyun-joon, the head of the house, held his head with both hands and sighed.

‘What is this because Jin-hoo Kang wants to reform regulations? Anyway, she has nothing to do with her after the Gangjin.’

The battle of words between Rep. Lee Jeong-hye and Rep. Nam-gwi in the Judiciary Committee became a big issue.

Rep. Gwi, a male, who had had little presence in the past, made her name known to everyone through this incident, and political donations poured in from all sides of her.

A video of the Judiciary Committee’s word of mouth was also uploaded to A-Tube, a video site run by Guble. Bored netizens put subtitles in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese below.

Surprisingly, the video garnered 5 million views in two days.

-Oh oh! Does something like that happen every time in the Korean National Assembly?

-Who is that woman, and why is she yelling at her to resign?

– He was a presidential candidate in Korea. In the Korean National Assembly, if you don’t like that woman, you should resign.

-I’ve seen Kang Jin-hoo shout out to resign before.

-Ah! right. That video was fun 🙂

-I remember Ronald saying ‘You’re fired!’ on a show show a while ago.

The Korean National Assembly has now become a laughing stock beyond Korea.

In particular, the scene where Rep. Lee Jeong-hye blushed and pointed at her and shouted ‘Resignation, Haseyot’ was very popular with foreigners.

I don’t know who started it first, but when someone says something they don’t like, it’s a kind of internet meme to fight back by posting a picture of Rep. Lee Jeong-hye yelling at her to resign (subtitled ‘You’re fireeeed!’). And it spread like a fad.

As a result, Rep. Lee Jeong-hye became a global star regardless of her own wishes.

However, this video caused serious controversy to just laugh at.

-By the way, was porn illegal in Korea? All my Korean friends seem to see it.

– That’s weird. Isn’t Korea a country with freedom of expression? All girl groups emphasize sex appeal.

-I like Korean movies, so I watch them often, but they are very cruel. stab to death with a knife, or cut through the body with a saw. Blood just splattered.

-Is it okay to show you killing people, but not to show them having sex?

-right. You can slap me in the face, break bones, cut off the neck, and split the stomach, but the penis is not allowed.

-Huh? What the hell is this? Are you kidding me?

-no. Really. If such a scene appears in a foreign movie, mosaic it or delete it when importing.

– I don’t understand. So, what are all the pornography on Korean web hard?

– What is it? All illegal files.

-Then why don’t you pay the company that made the porn? Stealing copyrighted works is also theft.

– I don’t understand. Korea is a cultural powerhouse that exports K-pop, dramas, and movies to the world. But why are you ignoring the intellectual property rights of other countries?

– In that case, there is no difference between Korea and China, right?

Just because porn is legal in a country doesn’t mean there are no illegal files. However, when there is a market that can be accessed legally, some illegal files are circulating and the whole market is made up of illegal files is a completely different matter.

All works are copyrighted, and so is pornography. However, pornography is illegal in Korea in the first place. The Korean court did not recognize the copyright of pornography because it cannot recognize the copyright of illegally defined content.

Foreign pornographic companies have long been aware that Korea is consuming all pornographic content illegally.

I just knew it, but I was ignoring it. However, it was difficult to remain still as this incident became a public debate around the world.

First, American pornographic producers gathered and formally protested to the Korean government. European and Japanese pornographic companies followed suit. Some expressed their intention to proceed with litigation by contracting with an international law firm.

Faceit applied for copyright registration in Korea for its own content, and the Korean government was in a difficult situation.

If you accept the copyright registration, you are recognizing the rights of illegal content, and if you do not accept it, you will continue to ignore the intellectual property rights of the United States.

The United States is already sensitive to intellectual property rights issues due to the trade dispute with China.

The New York Times published an editorial by famous cultural critic Ferdinand Cave.

[How big is the Korean porn industry?]

The answer is zero. Isn’t that surprising? How the hell could this be?

The reason is that pornography is illegal in Korea. Because of this, you cannot make it or sell it for money. So, is it that no Koreans watch porn?

(syncopation)

South Korea claims that China indiscriminately copies Korean products and contents and infringes intellectual property rights. In fact, there are several lawsuits filed by companies in this regard. However, Korea does not recognize the copyright of foreign pornography and is only consuming it illegally.

While the copyright holders made less than a dollar, web hard companies and heavy uploaders took huge profits. Interestingly, if you are caught while distributing pornography on the Internet, you will only be punished for distributing pornography, not for violating the Copyright Act.

Korea exports not only K-pop, but also dramas, movies, and broadcasts. The Hallyu wave is expanding into the world and has established itself as an important industry in Korea. In the case of famous idol groups, the profits they make in foreign countries are much higher than in Korea. But when it comes to porn, they completely ignore the copyrights of other countries.

Finally, I introduce a Korean proverb.

‘Romance if I do it, affair if someone else does it.’

What is the biggest reason why there has been no discussion about legalizing pornography in Korea?

That’s because even though it was illegal, there was no problem in viewing. However, there are two big problems with this.

One is that it is absolutely illegal, and the other is that no matter how much foreign pornography there is, there is always a demand for native pornography.

There is no pornography production company in Korea, but there are plenty of videos circulated under the name of ‘domestic porn’ or ‘Korean porn’.

Many of them are illegally filmed, and even if they were filmed with consent, the distribution was mostly done without the consent of the person concerned. Among them, there was also revenge pornography that was intentionally distributed with a malicious mind toward the ex-lover.

These illegal videos were distributed indiscriminately through web hard. Strict regulations on pornography have made it illegal.

In particular, there were no words to say about intellectual property infringement.

Now, the Korean porn issue showed signs of spreading into trade frictions with the US, EU, and Japan. And the Chinese production companies, which are litigating for copying Korean entertainment programs, showed the attitude, ‘You are also ignoring other countries’ intellectual property rights, and why are you shouting at us?

As the situation grew out of control, President Huh Chang-min said at a ministerial meeting

“I think Korea now needs to revise regulations related to adult material in line with international standards. To this end, it is urgent for the ruling and opposition parties to cooperate to create a discussion body.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance supported the president’s words, but only Minister Shin Min-mi of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family opposed it to the end.

“There is a risk that premature deregulation will increase digital sex crimes, exacerbate women’s human rights, and promote sexual commodification.”

However, in a poll conducted by a research firm, more than 70 percent of the respondents said that the current porn regulations should be revised.

The approval rate of those in their 20s and 30s was higher than those in their 40s and 50s, and more than half of women agreed.

82 percent of the respondents expressed a negative opinion on the bill to strengthen the crackdown and punishment on pornography proposed by Rep. Lee Jeong-hye.

As public opinion worsened, some of the members of the National Assembly (aka seonbi) who were named as co-sponsors secretly removed their names.

Rep. Lee Jeong-hye was outraged, but she couldn’t keep pushing forward with the bill as the United States fell over intellectual property issues.

In the end, Assemblyman Nam-gwi took the lead, and a discussion body was created to discuss the deregulation of pornography in the National Assembly. Not only lawmakers from the opposition parties, but also experts from all walks of life and civic groups were expected to participate.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

– Representative Nam Gui did it!

– No, this was done by Rep. Lee Jeong-hye!

-Seo, was this all a big picture for legalizing porn?

-Otherwise, it cannot be explained why such a law was proposed.

– We didn’t know the Dark Knight!

– I’m sorry for swearing all this time

-Rep. Lee Jeong-hye is the pioneer of Korean pornography and the hope of the Liberal People’s Party!

– Senator Gensei! Do not resign!

I had a video call with Toby, CEO of Face It, with Taek-gyu.

“If the law is revised, we plan to officially service it in Korea. We plan to add Korean subtitles to existing videos, and contract with local companies to produce Korean content.”

Korean law adopts a common sense.

Let’s assume that Korean A goes to the US and makes a formal contract with a production company to film porn. There is nothing wrong with US law. However, Korean law applies to A, who is a Korean, and he is punished for making pornography (production of pornography).

Previously, it was impossible to produce Korean pornography, but that will change when the law changes. Erotic film producers expressed great anticipation for the revision of the law.

Toby said with a laugh.

“It all started because of that petition. I heard that it had more than 2 million signatures, did the person who filed the petition know that it would turn out like this?”

Taek-gyu nodded his head at that.

“of course. I felt it from the moment I uploaded it.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

“Huh?”

There was silence for a moment.

I asked, turning his head to the side.

“What did you just say?”

Then Taek-gyu secretly avoided my gaze.

I screamed out of disbelief.

“Oh Taek-gyu, get down!”
