CCIIIB - Rights to Write - Task 6 - 1st Reply

My father put up a poster he got from Apple Daily. It was a picture of 淑君kicking her opponent in the face, with a big “淑君我挺妳！” written on it. Not only do I see facebook events concerning this issue, the local news and the printing press have also been reporting the story around the clock. I’ve also heard that some companies have announced to “cease support” on all Korean products and goods, even if it costs them a third of their usual income.

If I were one of 淑君’s close friends, I would show my support for her without doubt. Although there have been many talks of conspiracy, I believe random acts of anger upon the Korean society solves nothing, nor does it help to change the fact that淑君 has been misjudged. It will only make matters worse. However, I also believe that, on an international and on a civilized basis, we should by all means make ourselves be heard by the related authorities. And in doing so, showing the whole world that we are not a cowered nation to be pushed around easily, and that we, as a part of the global community, have just as much right to demand justice as any other country.
