You remember the mini-scandal when it turned out Psy burned a US flag at a protest in 2002 and all these Republican Gangnam Style fans turned on him? Did you know it's because some soldier ran over two teenage girls on the side of the road with an APC during a training exercise?

And then were acquitted of all criminal charges in a US-run military court, with South Korean civilians having absolutely no input in the matter? Like I don't care how gung-ho pro-military you are If that happened to two white girls in Iowa, heads would be rolling

If it happened to two white girls in Iowa, people would *at least understand that people had a right to be upset* Instead because it happened to two South Korean girls it turned into "Ungrateful foreigners spitting on the protection US troops provide them"

The South Korean incident you mention is horrible. I didn’t know Psy protested it, but not shocked. There’s a terrible legacy of harm to the civilian population in ROK and Japan. Like, anti-base activism is big in Okinawa for very good reasons.
