"Businesses are required to provide education on preventing sexual harassment, it's a law. But the type of education is basic stuff like thinking about how the other person would feel five seconds before you say something, expressing discomfort the minute you feel it, and not ignoring what the other person says or wants.

There's nothing groundbreaking about that. We all know that. No one goes about their day and thinks, 'Oh, I should've respected what that person wanted, I totally didn't know that.' No one goes about their day with the intention to commit sexual harassment like, 'I had noodles for lunch so I should commit a sexual harassment at around 2 pm' or 'I should go pick up some things at Daiso after work and then leave sexual harassment comments online at around 8 pm.'

So what I thought of is that we should instead play hour long videos of interviews of people who got caught committing sexual assaults. Footage of them saying stuff like, 'Ah f*ck, why did I have to commit a sexual harassment and ruin my life! I got fired from work, aigoo, I'm so f*cked! All of you, please don't commit sexual harassment!' Because if you think about it, fear can sometimes be the best type of education."

1. [+380, -22] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yoo Byung Jae's a genius, he's so funny

2. [+302, -23] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So funny

3. [+286, -14] I think this could have some good effects. I remember seeing a video on Facebook of an American show where they take iljin students and have them experience what jail life is like. They have real gangsters get all up in their faces and you could see the fear on the kid's face. Totally effective.

4. [+26, -1] This is pointless because some people don't realize that what they did was sexual assault. Doesn't matter if they think about it for 5 seconds or 5 minutes.

5. [+23, -8] Well maybe YG will wake up if we play them interviews of people who got caught doing drugs for an hour

6. [+13, -0] Try implementing that for GD's drug scandal

7. [+12, -5] He will never mention YG's marijuana scandals ㅋㅋ

8. [+10, -3] You could use this education for people who leave hate and false comments too

9. [+10, -2] Can you teach us how to prevent drug abuse too!

10. [+10, -3] He'll never talk about drug abuse prevention because of YG ㅋ

11. [+9, -0] The losers who commit sexual assaults never realize that what they're doing is a crime. They place the blame on you if you point out that you're not comfortable like, "You're no fun", "Why are you such a prude", etc

12. [+6, -1] Americans do this type of education. They'll have people who ruined their lives over drunk driving or drugs and have them give guest talks at elementary, middle, and high schools like, "Don't do what I did." Korea needs to implement this too.
