Well, it’s Korea, so as close to a sex scandal as you get. Kim Ju-yeon, runner-up in the Miss Korea 2007 pageant, revealed her pregnancy with footballer Hwang Jae Won. Out of wedlock! *shudders* A distressed Kim Ju-yeon broke down at a press conference, confirmed that she’s preggers and provided text messages from Hwang demanding an abortion.

According to Popseoul!, Hwang asked her to “erase (abort) before things get too difficult.” Erase? Is that a translation thing? Why not ctrl+alt+delete? Or manual reset? “We’re too young for a baby, how about a manual reboot?” Perhaps erase really means abort in Korean. And vice versa. Women go to doctors to get erased and teachers ask students to abort mistakes and redo their work.

Hwang Jae Won comes off as a real cad. ALLKPOP also reports his text message, provided at the press conference, further says “I told you we should’ve aborted [erased?] the kid from the very beginning” and “If you die, the child will die too, so why don’t you just go and die.”

Wow, what a winner. After he sent this message, did he also pound his chest with his fists and jump up and down? Apart from his caveman-like actions, he forgot the rules of good storytelling. You don’t use the same verb three(!) times in a sentence. Too monotonous to the reader. Next time you ask someone for an abortion, here are some synonyms for die: perish, pass away, succumb, subside, expire.
