A story has emerged about a part-time worker who was sexually harassed by a female customer while working at a convenience store. The part-timer claims that the police told him "it is difficult to prove sexual harassment," sparking controversy.

On the 10th, a post titled "Sexually Harassed by an Ajumma" was uploaded on an online community. The male part-timer, Mr. A, wrote, "She hugged me, bit me, and made physical contact," adding, "I reported it and gave a statement. I stayed quiet fearing I might be counter-reported. How much should I ask for in a settlement?"

The photos attached by Mr. A show a woman entering behind the convenience store counter and pressing her body against him. The woman placed both hands on Mr. A’s chest and even lifted her leg in a shocking act. Mr. A tried to avoid her touch by curling up, but the woman continued her behavior without concern.

The police who received Mr. A’s report reportedly said, after watching the CCTV footage clearly showing sexual harassment, that "it is difficult to prove sexual harassment."

In response, netizens expressed anger with comments such as "They say it’s difficult to prove even after watching the CCTV?", "Are the police not doing their job?", "Wasn’t consistent testimony enough before?", "Where is evidence clearer than this?", "Are they just too lazy to handle the case?", "This must be brought to public attention," "He was harassed because he is a man," "If there is no punishment, protests are necessary," and "I feel so wronged myself."
