Top 5 Comments:
1. She'd be innocent if it had happened in Korea. (+5161, -621)
2. The Democratic Party's top recruit. (더불어민주당 is the name of a Korean political party, but this person did a play on words by changing 민주 to a form of "만지다" which means to touch. This is meant to imply that the political party is riddled with sexual harassment/assault charges) (+3375, -868)
3. I don't get it.. doing it with a 12 year old child that's the same age as your own kid... what in the world. Crazy (+1803, -183)
4. Wow... How should I take this?... In the end, they got married and lived happily, but their happiness was taken from them for 7 years by the thing we call laws. (+1770, -272)
5. These comments are crazy... If you swapped the genders, a guy would have probably got 1000 years in prison. (+1199, -178)
