I know, it may not seem like big news, but considering the fact that miniskirts and "short shorts" have technically been illegal In South Korea for over the past thirty years, it’s good to know that their indecency law is being revised.

While the law is rarely (if at all) enforced these days (it was enacted when the authoritarian government ruled in the 1970s), it’ll be a relief to simply know that the language is omitted.

Hi - I currently live in South Korea :-) Anyhow, I didn't know that there was a law about mini-skirts, but I did know that outside of Seoul (where mini-skirts abound, apparently) women tend to dress quite modestly in general. Here are some posts that might interest you on this topic:

This post is about the rise of mini-skirts in South Korea

This post is about sex trafficking in Korea, but it's interesting to note the pics of the girls marketing new products dressed as cheerleaders. I see them all the time....
