I Dream

Therefore I moved to here.

To legalize miniskirts in S. Korea.


I did not know it was illegal to wear miniskirts in year 2006 ,in fact it was.

According to Reuters "The country is in the final stages of revising an indecency law that prohibits people from wearing revealing outfits and was once enforced by governments in the 1970s,

officials said."

What took so long for law makers to revise this kind of obsolete law?

South Korea moves to legalize miniskirts


SEOUL (Reuters) - Hot pants and miniskirts will soon be legal in South Korea.
The country is in the final stages of revising an indecency law that prohibits people from wearing revealing outfits and was once enforced by ruler-wielding police during authoritarian governments in the 1970s, officials said.
"The law for excessive exposure does not match our current society," said Kim Jae-kwang, an official with the Korea Legislation Research Institute.
Under authoritarian rule, police could arrest or fine women for their fashion choices. They also took scissors to men whose hair they felt was too long and tossed people in jail for unauthorized dancing. The rules stayed on the books as South Korea moved to an open democracy in the late 1980s, but were no longer enforced. Now miniskirts are about as common as traffic jams in the capital of Seoul and police have long given up on measuring the distance from knees to hemlines. © Reuters 2006. All Rights Reserved.

Do you need a HUG?

Then go to Myeongdong, downtown Seoul.

Free Hugs? Is this for real? The Chosun-ilbo Article describes that the "Free Hugs"campaign originally launched in Australia by Juan Mann in 2004. The campaign aims at Cheering up strangers with a hug on the street.

It wouldn't be so practical(?) campaign in Korea, who knows it might be widely spread campaign among young generations as "Fun thing" as like "Flash Mob" which been played for a while among young Korean.

For sure, the girls have much better chance to get hugs than this young man.
