... YAAAAAY for South Korea!! :)--

... "Em"cidentally...that law there is NOT AN anti-female "double standard"... as it ignores gender and specifically states the illegality of "married" cheaters... not "unmarried" ones. And married cheaters SHOULD DEFINITELY BE "Em"PRISONED here in the U.S.. If ya don't like that... then just move to some MOOOOZ-LIM country where adulterers are SHOT 'DEAD' IN PUBLIC. Perhaps we should adopt that Muslim Law here... as it'll surely CURB all the married creeps (both male and female) who don't understand the idea of getting a DIVORCE rather than *cheating* on their spouses.

First time poster. I have to comment here.

This story is missing some key details. The man Ok So-Ri cheated with was a French chef at one of the big hotels in Seoul. And Ok So-Ri's husband is also a well-known actor in Korea. The husband called the media and made a lot of drama - even entering the hotel and looking for the chef so as to beat him up (they claim). The chef had quickly fled and probably won't be going back to Korea. That may be the biggest reason he was not prosecuted.

This also occurred during a time when there was some tension in Korea with the foreign community. So some say that the fact she had an affair with a foreign man was a leading cause for the subsequent drama.

Women's rights in Korea are definitely weaker than in the U.S. Until recently, divorced women had little to no chance of retaining custody of their children. However, this story is as much about the loud, dramatic cuckolded husband and the foreign lover as about punishing a woman in man's world.

The guy who knew she was married had no obligation to stay away from her. Its her responsibility alone because she was the only one who made a commitment to someone else. She's an adult and she made certain decisions, knowing that the consequences would be hers to face, not his.
That being said, the law is rediculous and the matter should be handled privately.

aren't there still laws on the books where the cuckholded (sp?) partner can sue the other party for "loss of consortium?
for instance a couple of years ago i remember the wife of the cheater sued the cheater's (husband) girlfriend for loss of consortium.

i never get where the person outside the couple gets the blame. why doesn't the husband or wife get the blame?

BAM, Ent! You hit it on the head!! No repercussions for the dewed that diddled her knowing she was married.

As James Brown would sang, "This is a Man's World..."

lol@kelly

I saw a video clip at one of the gossip sites can't remember which one. Anyway can't remember if this guy was a political figure/actor/etc.. anyway the wife came on stage and she started blasted the guy for committing adultery. They were asians can't remember which country it was at but they were trying to get her off stage since they were embarrase (misspell).

I wonder what happen afterwards. Did he get jail time or did they just ignore it like the wife was the guilty one and not the husband.

We will welcome her with open arms here.

Ooh, I like the $10 law. Shame the mf'ers by filing charges, and paying a nominal fee. That's good vengeance for the cheated upon.

From Wikipedia: In the United States, laws vary from state to state. For example, in Pennsylvania, adultery is technically punishable by 2 years of imprisonment or 18 months of treatment for insanity, while in Michigan the Court of Appeals, the state's second-highest court, ruled that a little-known provision of state criminal law means that adultery carries a potential life sentence. In Maryland, adultery is punishable by a fine of $10. That being said, such statutes are typically considered blue laws and are rarely, if ever, enforced.

I'll bet if she were an actor, not an actress, they would treat the law with the same laxity that they usually do. People get off on seeing women--any women--get hurt in one way or another. Note the way people sadosexually get off on stalking Britney and Lohan and their drug use rather than Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger. It's all on the continuum of a rape culture, and South Korea is no different. Men love to punish women for the things that men do the most.

Just imagine if this was here in the States. How many would be in jail for adultery LOL.

That's a stupid law. I am sure their are worst crimes in Korea that this petty case.

Anyway they should also put in jail the other person for getting involved. It does take 2 to committee adultery.
