It's creepy to think that women (nowadays including small girls as young as 5 years old) literally have to watch out for every single male on the street.
In an updated news, the culprit was arrested after police received a tip from a local citizen. And know what? He attempted to kill himself. So much for Northeast Asian's high suicidal attempt culture.
Speaking of committing suicides, we had a chance to talk to a professor from Sweden who is an expert on Korean culture, he commented that the media in Korea is not covering the actual suicides news, only reporting those with 'interesting' stories or happened in a 'bizarre' ways that has 'news values' (or, 'entertainment values'). That explains why we don't read so many suicide news as we anticipated after arriving in Korea.
