"Sexual Assault" is the BuzzWord of the Month

For better or worse, news of sexual assault have been very... prominent in Korean entertainment lately. There's Open World Entertainment's CEO Jang Seok Woo's predations on trainees. There's Go Young Wook's predations on underage trainees. There's Co-Ed's Kangho's unjust accusations of being a rapist resurfacing again. Most recently, Park Si Hoo is embroiled in a rape lawsuit that looks pretty much like a guilty charge. You can take a look through our colleague Asian Junkie's articles on the whole thing if you're unfamiliar with it all since I doubt we over here at AKF will dive into all that anytime soon because there's plenty of coverage.

Anyway, what caught MY attention was how quickly the whole idea of sexual assault has become a joke to Korean media. Why, you ask? Take a look at the recent media play made by Sunny Day's entertainment company.
