20-Year-Old Given Probation After Discharge for Insulting Female Company and Battalion Commanders by Comparing Them to Body Parts Saying "Kkapchinda"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hanah Na] A man in his 20s who insulted a female platoon leader and company commander by comparing them to genitals and said "acting cocky" during his military service received a suspended sentence after discharge.

On the 13th, the Chuncheon District Court announced that it had suspended a 6-month prison sentence for A (21), who was charged with insulting a superior officer.

A was prosecuted for insulting a female platoon leader and company commander by comparing them to genitals and saying "acting cocky" while talking with other soldiers at a smoking area in the military last March 4, when he was serving as a soldier in an infantry division.

The court pointed out, "This crime damages the command system such as the military's obedience to orders, which poses a risk of reducing national defense capabilities, so the defendant's responsibility cannot be considered light."

However, the court also explained, "Considering that A is a first-time offender, shows sincere remorse, the victims do not wish for punishment, and he was discharged last September making it difficult to assess the risk of reoffending."
