20 years ago, when I was a college student in Hyehwa-dong, the price of Korean stew menus at the restaurants in nearby college town were all 2,500 (=2 USD), and there was even a 1,500 won (=1.15 USB) price on the school cafeteria menu. Even then, I didn't have money, so I ate most of my lunches from some friends who cared for me, and sometimes I just skipped the lunch. These days, most menu of the cafeteria is above 8,000 won (=6.2 USD) and the school cafeteria is at least 3,500 won (=2.7 USD), so it seems that there may be many students who skip meals due to money problems.

20년 전에 혜화동에서 대학을 다닐 때 학교 뒷문 식당들의 찌개 가격은, 서로 담합이라도 했는지 전부 2,500원이었고, 학교식당 메뉴 중에는 심지어 1,500원 짜리도 있었다. 그러던 시절에도 나는 돈이 없어서 대부분의 점심을, 나를 아끼시던 몇몇 귀인들로부터 얻어 먹고 다녔고, (졸업할 무렵 남들에게 얻어먹은 점심값을 모두 더해 보니 250~300만원쯤 나와서 깊이 반성한 기억이... 박창민 학생회장님 감사합니다..) 가끔은 그냥 굶을 때도 많았다. 근데 요즘 식당은 기본 메뉴가 8,000~10,000원에 학교식당도 3,500원이니.. 몰래 몰래, 혼자서 굶고 다니는 학생들도 많이 있지 싶다.

Women Gather in Hyehwa After 6 Years… "We Must Stop Deepfake Crimes Now"

this is an article about the hyehwa station protest. the article is originally in Korean and has been mtl and edited into English. because of this it’s not going to be 1:1 but the basic info should be there. if you see any discrepancies please lmk and I’ll edit it asap. thanks everyone for your help and understanding. published sept 21 2024 reporter: Choi Eun-seo

5,000 Gather to Demand Severe Punishment for Deepfake Exploitation "Repeating Misogynistic Crimes, Women Live in Constant Fear" "Government Must Strongly Punish Illegal AI-Generated Content"

A group formed around women's universities in Seoul, named "Joint Action to Condemn Misogynistic Violence," held a protest near Hyehwa Station in Seoul's Jongno District on the afternoon of September 21, calling for severe punishment for deepfake sexual exploitation under the slogan, "Punish Those Who Created, Sold, and Watched."

Due to the growing issue of deepfake (AI-based image synthesis) sex crimes, women have taken to the streets. They argue that the government’s lukewarm response to eradicating online sexual exploitation and illegal recordings has worsened the situation and are demanding strict punishment.

The protest, organized by "Joint Action to Condemn Misogynistic Violence," was attended by an estimated 5,000 participants.

"This Issue Isn't New… Women Are Giving Up Their Everyday Lives"

The area near Exit 2 of Hyehwa Station, where the protest was held, is the same location where protests against biased investigations into illegal filming took place for six months in 2018. At that time, protesters claimed that the woman involved in the illegal filming case at Hongik University, where a male nude model was photographed, was unusually quickly arrested, arguing that the police were conducting a biased investigation favoring male criminals.

Six years later, women gathered again at Hyehwa Station, shouting slogans like "We told you not to illegally film women, and now you're making deepfakes?" They condemned the repeated misogynistic crimes. The Joint Action stated, "The deepfake sexual exploitation crime crisis is not new," adding that "for decades, women have been continually exposed to sex crimes, with their faces and personal information posted on male-dominated communities." The group criticized the government for downplaying the severity of the issue and neglecting to protect the victims. "As a result, women across the country live in constant fear, wondering if they too will become victims, and have had to give up on their daily lives."

Testimonies from deepfake victims followed. A student, identified as "A," attending a university known to be affected by the crimes, said, "After the crimes became known, female students were trying to understand the situation, but the atmosphere at school deteriorated with remarks like 'Feminists are making a fuss' and 'This is stirring up gender conflict.'" She continued, "The reality is that we have to live in fear of becoming victims every time we work with male students on group projects or participate in social activities," stressing that "before telling us not to view every man as a potential perpetrator, we should blame the society that forces us to be suspicious of all men."

Teenagers Also Call for Prevention… "Government Regulation Is Desperately Needed"

On September 10, Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik speaks at a ceremony for a joint response agreement on deepfake crimes involving children and adolescents. The agreement was made between the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, Seoul Metropolitan Police, and the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education.

This deepfake sex crime issue has become even more severe as most perpetrators and victims are teenagers. According to the National Police Agency, of the 318 suspects arrested this year, 251 (78.9%) were teenagers. About 60% of the deepfake crime victims, investigated over the past three years, were also minors.

A high school sophomore, "B," who spoke at the event, said, "I was afraid to participate in this protest, but I realized that nothing will change if I remain silent," urging action to prevent recurrence. She added, "If we don't put an end to this deepfake crime now, more advanced forms of misogynistic crimes will continue."

There were also calls for the government to take stricter measures against companies involved in related industries. A woman from Gyeongnam, identified as "C," said, "The government must strictly regulate AI businesses to ensure that illegal synthesis cannot occur. Those that do not comply should be severely punished to prevent similar crimes from happening again."

hello friends, ich schätze mal das hier wird der letzte post :')

ich hab das letzte mal nur bis zum rückflug aus tokyo am freitag geupdated, deswegen mach ich jetzt einfach mit dem 17.12. weiter, auch wenn das noch die woche davor war lol

als ich am 16. heim kam, war meine mitbewohnerin schon aus unserem dorm room ausgezogen und am samstag musste ich dann auch raus. dafür hab ich (wie sich herausstellte) unnötiger weise noch super viel geputzt und bin dann pünktlich um 11 mit zwei riesigen koffern, einem rucksack und einem großen beutel über unseren campus geschlittert, weil es in der nacht davor tatsächlich noch relativ viel geschneit hatte. mit einem taxi ging es dann zum airbnb und den restlichen tag verbrachte ich damit ein bisschen uni zeug zu erledigen. nachts um 12 meiner zeit riefen mich dann meine eltern per video call an und zeigten mir die kleine kerze, die sie für mich auf einem donut angezündet hatte :') war sehr süß

am nächsten tag war ich erst um 3 mit luise verabredet, um meinen geburtstag zu feiern, deswegen konnte ich ganz entspannt mit ausgedehntem frühstück im bett und kpop videos in den tag starten haha um 3 haben wir uns dann in einem café getroffen und luise hatte vegane tortenstücke dabei und ein paar blumen und schenkte mir dann auch noch ein kpop album meiner lieblingsband seventeen <3 weiter ging es auch mit kpop, denn danach hatten wir einen slot für das museum von hybe (dem label unter anderem von bts und seventeen) reserviert und es war so viel cooler als ich es mir vorgestellt hatte! es gab verschiedene räume, in denen es unter anderem um die musikproduktion ging, um den lyric writing process, dann einen anderen über performances usw. war echt super interessant zu sehen und ich glaube, das wäre auch sowas von was für non-fans! wie man merkt bin ich immer noch begeistert, auch wenn ich jetzt darüber nachdenke hahah danach sind wir nach hyehwa-dong gefahren um dort hotpot essen zu gehen und es war sooooo lecker!!! bin fan ganz am anfang, als luise und ich uns kennengelernt haben, hat sie mir von so einer crazy bar in hyehwa erzählt, in der sie nur einmal mit einer freundin war und dann nie wieder und seit dem haben wir schon zwei mal versucht dort hinzugehen, aber jedes mal war sie nicht offen :( aber an diesem tag hatte sie wundersamerweise offen!! alle guten dinge sind offensichtlich wirklich drei lol und es war echt so cool da drin, irgendwie hätte die gut nach berlin gepasst haha die bar war im zweiten stock und von unten sah es aus wie ein verlassenes haus mit holzbalken von draußen davorgehämmert und so weiter, aber drinnen war es sooo gemütlich mit vielen lichterketten und kerzen und es hat sich angefühlt als würde man in einem baumhaus chillen. und der besitzer war so lieb und hat uns kostenlos popcorn gegeben! eigentlich echt schade, dass wir dort dann nicht noch öfter hinkonnten danach haben wir uns soju geholt und sind in eine arcade, was ich schon so lange mal ausprobieren wollte und haben ein bisschen geld ausgegeben um games zu zocken hehe unser letzter stop war wieder mal karaoke, wo wir uns über eine stunde mal wieder die seele aus dem leib gesungen (oder vielleicht eher geschrien?) haben hatte wirklich unerwarteterweise so so einen schönen geburtstag und war den ganzen tag sehr happy <3

am montag habe ich mich dann noch ein letztes mal mit luise auf einen kaffee getroffen und wir sind noch ein bisschen durch ihre hood geschlendert und haben kuschlige schlafanzughosen in einem dubiosen geschäft für 2,50€ gekauft, bevor sie dann abends in den flieger nach deutschland gestiegen ist </3

den nächsten tag hatte ich mich zum mittag mit siyun in seongsu-dong verabredet und wir haben tempura gegessen, was echt mega lecker war! anschließend sind wir gleich kaffee trinken gegangen und haben lange gut gequatscht :) zum schluss sind wir noch durch den leicht bepuderten seoul forest spaziert bis sie dann los zur arbeit musste.

an meinem letzten tag bin ich vormittags los, um ein letztes mal am han river entlang zu spazieren und den frisch gefallenen schnee noch einmal voll auszukosten. vermisse meine langen spaziergänge jetzt schon sehr :( danach habe ich mich auf den weg gemacht, um meine zwei filmrollen abzugeben und bin anschließend zum nam-san hochgefahren und habe zum vorerst letzten mal einen blick auf meine fav city geworfen. dann bin ich noch ein bisschen durch myeong-dong spaziert und war anschließend noch einmal kaffee trinken in einem meiner lieblingscafés! abends hieß es dann zuende packen und 'früh' ins bett, denn am nächsten tag hat mein wecker schon um 5 geklingelt, damit ich meinen flug pünktlich erwische.

nun sitze ich in deutschland und alles ist so anders und ich bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob das was gutes oder schlechtes ist. es war mir eine freude meine zeit auf diese weise mit euch zu teilen und vielleicht geht es ja bald schon wieder nach seoul....

The realest shit about parasite outside of the honorable mention of Hyehwa and Chicago, Illinois is the smell of the subway. Not that I would have stabbed anyone over it or anything? But I certainly do miss it sometimes for what it’s worth. 😢
