Cho Doo-soon Case

The Cho Doo-soon Case refers to an assault that took place in December 2008, in which an eight-year-old girl known only as Na-young was on her way to school when she was kidnapped by 57-year-old Cho Doo-soon, who was drunk at the time. Cho raped and beat Nayoung at a public squat toilet. Nayoung had injuries to her internal organs, and was taken to a hospital, surviving the incident. Cho was arrested and eventually sentenced to twelve years in prison.[1][2][3][4][5]

The case sparked outrage and protests involving Na-young's parents and many others. In 2011, R&B singer ALi released a song based on Na-young's story, titled "Nayoungee." The song attracted controversy after being widely criticized, and ALi chose to omit it from her upcoming album.[6][7] She also subsequently issued an apology. ALi then went on to say that the song was also about her own battle with being a rape victim.[8]

The 2013 film Hope is based on this case.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
