A guy I knew was sleeping with a married Korean woman (actually 3 married Korean women) and the husband found out. The husband would NEVER apply this law because of the shame that his wife cheatet on him- not to mention with a “weguk” Canadian. Most Korean men would not want this to come up in public and would rather just get a divorce citing some other reason for divorce.

exactly my point… maybe if the adulterers were exposed (including the men), adultery would become more shameful and therefore less common. shaming and singling might make more people think twice!

or maybe adultery would become more acceptable, the law would be repealed, and most of the commentors here would be pleased.

Oranckay - Yes, they should shame/embarrass the chaebol tycoons too. im all for equality before the law, and if korea wants to be a “modern nation” equality before the law is critical. bring on the lawsuits and arrests!!!!

adultery should be illegal because it destroys the foundation of society - the family. if that by itself isnt enough for you, oh utilitarians of blogland, im sure that destroying the family causes economic damage to society.

And yes, one member of the married couple has to file charges for prosecutors to even have the right to get involved. Prior to that, they can’t even investigate, no matter how much they may discover in the course of investigating other things.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe adultery is a crime in the US military, and that it was one of the things the infamous Muslum chaplain Captain Yee was charged with when the the sedition or was it treason case against him fell apart.

Correct me also if I am wrong, but while adultery is not itself a crime in US civilian courts, I do seem to remember that producing evidence of your spouse’s infidelity in a divorce case can sometimes get you a better settlement and help in winning child custody. So, not quite criminal, but, it seems, nonetheless essentially judged to be inappropriate in US courts.

Suprisingly, in Korea it is usually women’s groups that are support of the adultery law, because it gives women leverage and protection in a society where a man’s infidelity was once a virtual birthright (spare me the flames - anyone with any knowledge of Chos?´n history going to tell you the same) and divorcing him for it would ruin you more than it had to. Of course women’s groups aren’t what they used to be, so while a group with a title like “Flower Arrangement & Tennis Wives’ Association” is going to support it a group called “Anti-Kitchen Apron Lesbians from Hell” obviously is not. Anyway, point is that it’s generally not hypocritically conservative old men who want the law around.

One of the highlights of the 1992 presidential campaign was that the issue actually got talked about a little. Kim Young Sam didn’t waste time denying that he has an illegitimate daughter exiled away in Japan, but he didn’t have to because no one ever challenged him on what is common knowledge for those in the know, and at KYS rally a Newsweek reporter, and American, asked the ajummas in the croud what they thought of it - and their answers were generally that he was a powerful man has sort of “earned it,’ and that because of the status his wife enjoys as his wife she probably doesn’t complain too much. Then there was Hyundai founder Chung Joo Young. At the Kwanhoon Press Club someone actually dared to get up and ask him whether it was okay to have had so many woman in his life over the years - dozens apparently - and his answer was that “you’ve never heard any of them complain, have you??” (And of course there was no public outcry, Chung campaigned to the end with no problem.) Since election laws even now prohibit you from making ‘personal attacks’ by stating the facts about your opponent(s), candiate Kim Dae Jung got up in front of a packed stadium in Busan and declared “I have only one woman!”
