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?

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
