   The bill which has now become law controversial posts regarding the Itaewon   
   "Halloween Crush" that occured in 2022.   Korea has a tendancy to write laws   
   that are board and far reaching in response to social criticisms.  Often at   
   odds with freedom of press, speach, and expression.    
      
   There are already laws on the books that make any kind of negative statements   
   criminal, such as "Defamation using truth."   
      
   or their strict "privacy of face" laws that exist even in public.   
      
   Mostly aimed at protecting politicians, law enforcement, or members of the   
   families of the business conglomerates or Chibol.   
      
   This appears to be another such case.  Who gets to decide what the real or   
   fake version of a story is?  The legislature, the courts, the police?   
      
   South Korea is a democracy only because it allows the people to elect their   
   officals.
