"I know for a fact that I'm not going to go to jail. Not one day in jail. I'm going to laugh my ass off when all these motherf***ers are saying I'm going for 30 years, 20 years, five years, 10 years. I'm not even going to do one day, bro. They'll give me a fine and say, 'Don't come back to Korea.' You're the one that's going to look so dumb when I don't get any jailtime or anything. Bro, I'm going to laugh like a f**king villain.

amazing.

He got 6 months, so he wasn't too far off, unfortunately.

If we're lucky, he will annoy the wrong person and get the shit kicked out of him. Maybe he'll learn.

at the end of the day, his only crime is being annoying. He didn't kill someone, didn't steal anything, etc. So 6months seems fair.

And it's six months of hard labor without access to a smartphone. He'll either lose his mind or actually reconsider his life choices.

Plus he had to register as a sex offender in Korea, and thus has to register in America on his return or face 10y, so who's got money on him failing to register?

Under the Trump administration I don't think he will have any problems with not registering.
