i mean.... minors can be tried as adults here in the US
of course it depends on the severity, but if youre using big boy words, fine, you can be treated like one too
i remember when that one minor made up that mingyu s*xually assaulted a female classmate when the whole bullying thing was going on. they had a history of singling him out in hateful tweets and pulled the "b-b-b-but im a minor!!1!!11" card when they got called out for it. and then said they had made a mistake while mistranslating it. buh bye
(altho yes most of the instances that ive seen korea utilizing its defamation laws are just way over the top. ppl shouldnt be punished for expressing a unfavorable opinion.)
