Another BIG Cultural Difference

Here in Korea, having sex with a minor is a-okay, according to an article in The Korea Times. I realize that way back in history, people had sex with minors all the time. But being raised in a society and culture that frowns upon it makes it a little weird to see it as acceptable.

The article says:

"In Korea, a person is not guilty of any crime for having sex with a minor aged 13 and over unless it is paid for or forced. Sex with those under the age of 13 is punishable even if it is carried out under mutual consent."
