Honestly, I think Korea's defamation laws are too excessive..

Looking at other countries, there is no place where the law favors public figures this much..
In other countries, people go beyond mere criticism of public figures and even move into criticism, which is generally accepted quite coolly.
It is strange how uniquely Korean law is so lenient toward public figures... (though Korean public figures do tend to have particularly fragile mentalities)
It is truly frustrating how they suck up money like a straw but refuse to accept any criticism or backlash from the public ㅡㅡ.
Even the UN Human Rights Committee would likely defend Korea's excessive defamation laws, but instead, the bizarre thing is that they recommend revision or abolition, stating that it stifles the public's right to criticize.
