[Reporter's View] Is Korea Really Safe?
People especially women these days feel nervous on their way home. Aren't you worried that someone may harm you at night? Don't you feel nervous when you hear the news that someone was killed or kidnapped on their way home? There are so many incidents where a suspect attacked unknown victims in 2016. The following are three big issues that have happened so far in 2016.
First, the most talked one is the Gangnam station murder case. The victim was out with her friends but the murder happened when she went to the toilet. She was murdered for the one reason that she was just the first woman who came to the bathroom after the suspect arrived there. Even though the suspect had mental illness, it is not easy to understand and recognize that the reason he killed her is that she is just a woman. Those two had never even seen each other before and had no relationship with each other.
On top of this, the Surak mountain murder case was also another instance where the suspect and victim had no relationship. The suspect said after he was released, he bought a knife to kill someone.
He wondered if there was a person who climbed the mountain in that morning. Then he killed the first person he met. He had no reason to kill anyone and he had no money.
Third, there is a woman who is recovering from moyamoya disease. It is a rare disease that whe re t he c e re brova sc ul a r becomes more and more narrow and then, cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage occurs. When she was on the way home after working at a part-time job, a drunken man, who worked as a comedian, threatened her with a deadly weapon. She ran home as fast as she could and collapsed when she arrived. As a result, she came to find out she had the disease. The suspect, however, claimed that he is innocent because he was drunk and did not know about her disease.
The suspects of all these three incidents attacked people that they did not know. However, an OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) ranking found that South Korea was first in public safety in 2015. It is really embarrassing that people who live in the safest country feel nervous everyday life. Regardless of the title “the best nation of public order”, indiscriminate crimes targeting strangers are increasing and more people live in anxiety because they are not safe from crime. When people mourned the victim of Gangnam station, they said that “we survived because we were not there”. It seems that the public’ s response to this unfortunate situation represents the unstable psychological situation in the whole of Korea. Can we really live a life where we think that I could be the victim anytime or anywhere? Are you safe today?
