A bizarre incident in a South Korean office has sparked debate.
A 50-year-old woman pulled down a male coworker’s pants.
He was in his 20s. She also pulled down his underwear.
This happened in front of other coworkers.
The woman got a fine of 2.8 million won.
That’s about 76,000 Thai baht.
She also has to take an 8-hour class on preventing sexual violence.
This happened in October last year.
It was in a kitchen in Gangwon Province.
The court didn’t buy her excuse.
She said it was just a joke.
But the court did take it easy on her.
She didn’t have a criminal record before.
And she apologized.
Some people think the fine is too much.
Others think it’s not enough.
Pantsing is a thing in Korean pop culture.
But it can also be really hurtful.
In 2019, an Olympic skater got banned.
He pulled down a teammate’s pants.
It happened in front of women on the team.
And in 2021, some elementary school kids got in trouble.
They pulled down a younger boy’s pants.
His mom complained about bullying.
