I've told you many times that you can't see <anchor> stalking as a trivial matter, and it will be submitted to the National Assembly next month as soon as a law to strengthen the punishment is reached. This is to strengthen the punishment of stalking crimes, which were treated as misdemeanor crimes, into prison terms of up to 3 years.

Stalking without violent acts has to be punished by misdemeanor crimes, such as abusive behavior or street urinating.

As soon as the Ministry of Justice begins, the enactment of a special law to the National Assembly next month will create a legal basis for stalking punishment and strengthen the punishment.

In fact, the 'Stalking Punishment Act' was issued by the Ministry of Justice two years ago, but it has been delayed to submit a bill to settle issues such as what to stalk.

Then, in order to discuss the 'n-bang prevention law', the Ministry of Justice at the National Assembly's Judiciary Judiciary Tribunal on 28th of last month confirmed that the Ministry of Justice stated that "the stalking punishment law was drafted."

In the legislation, it is a stalking crime if you repeatedly approach the victim's doctor and block the path, wait near the residence, or send text or video through the mail or information network repeatedly without justifiable reasons.

These stalking actions alone can result in imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won, and stalking possession of a weapon increases the sentence to imprisonment for up to five years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

This is Ahn Indeuk's stalking high school girl.

The victim was reported to the police several times, but the police failed to do anything, and in the end, the high school girl lost her life due to the injuries that Ahn Indeuk wielded.

If stalking crimes are properly sanctioned and punished, the effect of preventing stalking from leading to larger crimes can also be expected.
