ROKA Break?

Korean netizens and bloggers are having a grand old time comparing wildly popular “Prison Break” with life in the ROK Army [Sports Seoul, Korean]. And on another “Prison Break” note, veteran actress Kim Su-mi apparently digs Michael Scofield [Star News, Korean]… which kind of gives me the creeps.

I doubt many people get gangraped or shanked in the ROK Army.

Or at least not shanked. Male-on-male sexual abuse is quite common. Whether or not gang rapes occur, that’s probably a different story.

I’m sure nobody wants to smuggle food and drink destined for the ROK army.

Don’t know about the ROK Army, Brendon, but consensual sex between male members of the North Korean Army is supposedly quite high, as high as 50% of them have experienced it, according to an interview with a North Korean defector that I read just a week ago.

Well, as long as it’s not mandatory for all hands, I support male-on-male sex in the military. Let them do whatever it is they do. Just don’t make me join their team!
