KRIS (former EXO)'s "suspicion of sexual assault on minors" drives Chinese internet users ... "Critique of police male-centered announcement", "What is a sexual agreement?"
Korean boy group "EXO" former member KRIS (30) has been suspected of being the perpetrator of sexual assault on minors, and has since revealed that at least 24 women have been affected.

Many of the global brands with which they had business relationships, such as Porsche and Louis Vuitton, have announced that they will be laid off. In China, there is a growing voice that KRIS should be expelled from the entertainment world.

KRIS strongly denies all related charges.

SNS is playing an active part in this case. Internet users have begun to uncover his actions, revealing that the incident may be the tip of the iceberg.

The Internet is overwhelmingly in favor of an 18-year-old college student who first suspected KRIS for sex crimes.

Female victims of sex crimes are often criticized in China. Women's human rights activists, on the other hand, rate the move as an encouraging sign that Chinese society is becoming more aware of sexual consensus.

This month, a college student filed a sexual offense against KRIS on the Chinese version of Twitter "WEibo". Since then, she has shared her experiences through personal social media and media interviews.

She first met KRIS at the age of 17, and was invited to KRIS's home with other female idols at the time. He was forced to drink alcohol there, and revealed that he had been sexually assaulted when he was drunk and unconscious.

But KRIS claimed she had never forced her to drink and had never seduced and paid for another woman to have a sexual relationship. He never raped unconscious women and denied allegations of sexual relations with minors.

According to Chinese law, minors under the age of 18 are underage, but it is not illegal to have a sexual relationship if there is an agreement with a minor over 14 years of age.

According to Beijing public security officials, some of the women's allegations were undoubtedly confirmed to have had a sexual relationship with KRIS by drinking alcohol.

Police are still investigating other charges of KRIS, explaining that the woman has exposed the case to show her presence online.

The woman then complained about the police announcement. He emphasized that the sexual relationship between the two was unconsensual when the woman collapsed. The woman claims that the KRIS manager has moved her drunken self to his room.

She declined the BBC's interview request, but recently posted on WEibo that "I haven't told you to do it. I didn't want to stay in his house from the beginning," and immediately removed it. did.

There are growing criticisms among internet users that the general feeling and words of police announcements are male-centric and defend the perpetrators.

Since the 2018 Me TOO movement, there has been a gradual change in perceptions of sex crimes in China as well. In China, sexual harassment prevention guidelines were promulgated at the beginning of this year. The Civil Code stipulates provisions that include the provision of responsibility for preventing sexual harassment to organizations.

Some say that such non-compulsory guidelines cannot protect victims, but they are still rated as a certain step forward.

Weibo also used more than 380 million hashtags, "What is an accurate sex agreement?"

Some say, "Even if a woman refuses, a man thinks that a woman is embarrassed." "It is difficult in Chinese culture because it is often polite and different at best."

In addition, a hashtag called "# Girls Help Girls" has also appeared. Net users are sending support to victims of KRIS through this hashtag.

A college girl who exposed her damage recently posted, "I want no one to be hurt by KRIS. I hope I'm the last victim."
