An update from Korea today, the southern part to be exact. While the North is busy cooking up more excuses to cover up their recent torpedo attack, the South is focusing on the more important matters. Seoul is about to enact a law to PROTECT the enormous population of (aspiring) actresses. This is in response to a survey that revealed approximately 6 out of 10 have received sexual advances from people who could influence their careers. The answers of 111 actresses and 240 aspiring ones also showed that 45% of them have been forced to drink with “influential figures” and 32% have had experienced unwanted physical contact.

The report included a tragic account from an unnamed actress in her mid-20s, who said she is still suffering from a nightmarish experience with the boss of her agency. She was apparently dragged into a hotel after her boss allowed her to buy expensive clothes and accessories: “A-ni-yo.. I had no idea. I figured his man liked me because I make such good conversation.” Well, there are of course various ways to deal with such situations.
