Many people often confuse the Juvenile Act and the Youth Protection Act. Shall we clarify this a bit? Recently, there was a petition movement regarding the case of a middle school girl in Busan who was involved in assault or similar incidents. About 80,000 people petitioned to abolish the Youth Protection Act. The Youth Protection Act is a law that restricts the freedom of minors, preventing them from drinking alcohol, smoking, accessing 19+ media, and such. However, due to confusion with the Juvenile Act, around 80,000 people petitioned for its abolition. In reality, the Juvenile Act pertains to the protection of minors under 14 years old, ensuring that even if they are involved in criminal activities, they are treated with leniency and protective measures.

Whether it's a law that regulates such procedures or abolishes this law or eliminates certain provisions in this law, it should have been a petition. However, instead, 80,000 people have petitioned for a stricter youth protection law. Recently, the bill on that has now reached around 18,000 people, so it's not enough. Besides this, there is another one. There is a law on the protection of youth from sexual crimes. It's a law that slightly intensifies the punishment when a youth is the perpetrator of a sexual offense. There are also laws on the protection of children and youth, protection of youth in two parts, juvenile law, and they all have slightly different legal provisions. I am actually a person who deals with legal issues on a broadcasting program, but I also get confused between the juvenile law and the youth protection law. Many people should watch our program more.

Yes, when you look at it, you should summarize the law a bit. It should be written like this. It would be good to know how this law is used and what it is about. Yes, that's right. Uh, uh, ah.
