Top 10 in society. Looks like this week people were looking for more actual articles on interesting topics, rather than the usual steady diet of brief crime stories.

1. An examination of how easy it is for drunken men on intercity buses to get away with groping women and generally acting badly, since all the witnesses just want to get home.

2. An article about the extreme difficulty of leaving an abusive relationship.

3. A college student died six days after being beaten by an older classmate during one of those “membership training” things.

4. Although the number of practitioners of traditional Korean medicine has shot up by 12,000 in the past decade, demand for their services is tumbling with the availability of Viagra and other modern lifestyle drugs.

5. A look at the changing methods of Korean gangsters, which led off with this image:

6. A couple of teens stole a car and went joyriding.

7. Some men were arrested for selling fish and vegetables in a street stand after stealing it from the market in Garak-dong.

8. A deafening sound heard in several areas of Daejeon is of unknown origin, but was not an earthquake.

9. Drivers of trucks and buses who drive away from the scenes of the accidents they cause are being found out by the black boxes in their vehicles.

10. A man murdered his wife after they got into a fight over whether he had had an affair while working abroad, then strangled their 7-year old son as well (he survived).
