PSY portrayed as violent rapist in Japanese comic book satire

12/31/2012

A pornographic Japanese comic book parodying "Gangnam Style" rapper PSY has fans' blood boiling in Korea. It portrays the K-Pop singer as a gang member who abducts, tortures and eventually rapes a group of Japanese high school girls. Titled "Samuge-sō no Kimchi na Kanojo," the book is an erotic dōjinshi (a genre of self-published fan comic popular throughout Japan). The manga isn’t officially released until Monday, but a single preview page posted online was enough to anger Korean netizens (who have a mutually reciprocated loathing of Japanese web heads). We shudder to think what a Korean comic will do to Hello Kitty in reprisal. [Source]
