Reflect the society

In 2005, the “Gwangju Inhwa School affair” became known to the general public for the first time, but there was no obvious punishment. However, as the movie The Crucible was a box office hit, many people took an interest in this affair and it brought forth much change to society. Woo-seok corporate body, one of the social welfare foundations, which operated Inhwa School received a cancellation notice from the government. Also, the man who was concerned with this affair suffered a punishment. He denied all charges pressed against him. However, a lie detector gave the lie to his speech. Moreover, the National Assembly prepared a revision about punishment of sexual violence crime. Therefore, in the case of sexual violence against children under thirteen or disabled women, the statute of limitations was abolished.
