Puppy poo girl
Korean bloggers have been having a field day over the behavior of a young woman who refused to clean up the mess after her dog pooped on the floor of a subway.
Unfortunately for her, there was a person with a digital camera nearby. And judging by the gesture she was making with her left hand, the woman was aware she was being photographed and is fluent enough in sign language to flash a digital salute.
It began in a subway train with a girl whose dog made a mess on the train floor. When nearby elders told her to clean up the mess, she basically told them to fuck off. A nearby enraged netizen then took pictures of her and posted it, without any masking, on a popular website which started a nationwide witchhunt.
Within hours, she was labeled gae-ttong-nyue (dog-shit-girl) and her pictures and parodies were everywhere. Within days, her identity and her past were revealed. Request for information about her parents and relatives started popping up and people started to recognize her by the dog and the bag she was carrying as well as her watch, clearly visible in the original picture.
According to Don Park’s writeup about the incident, the Internet coverage violated the privacy of the girl.
All mentions of privacy invasion were shouted down with accusations of being related to the girl. The common excuse for their behavior was that the girl doesn’t deserve privacy.
While the girl clearly behaved badly, those Korean netizens’ behavior is even worse and inexcusably so. Abuse by the mob is indistinguishable from abuse by dictators yet they just don’t see it in the heat of righteousness. Are they wary of ruining her life or hounding her into suicide? I doubt it. To quote some of them: her life deserves to be ruined and she won’t kill herself because she is a thick-skinned bitch.
So which is more sacred? The right to have your dog crap where it pleases? Or the right to privacy? You be the judge.
I definitely agree with Don Park. Sounds like they wanted to stone the witch.
June 30th, 2005 at 1:15 pmI agree with Ampontan, too. Taking her pic in public was okay, and showing it online was okay, but it shudda stopped there. once she gets off subway line, her life is her life.
June 30th, 2005 at 2:21 pmPerhaps there would less public offensiveness if this were done more often.
Remember years ago of a local park taken over by bikers on Saturday night which really played hell with the residents. One evening someone strung up a piano wire and one of the bikers lost his head. I don’t remember the guy being caught but the bikers decided to stay away from that park. Some people just don’t appreicate kind words and being resonable.
June 30th, 2005 at 4:33 pmAs I recall, for some unfathomable reason the cops arrested that guy instead of giving him a reward…
June 30th, 2005 at 5:27 pmbtw, that’s serious `digital enhancement’ she’s flashing
June 30th, 2005 at 5:34 pmThat was a bit over the top on the biker. Perhaps a spanking on the bottom in youth will avoid a lethal injection or a rope in adulthood.
As far as the poop-girl, she was just flashing her IQ.
June 30th, 2005 at 8:53 pmHer “middle finger” looks an awful lot like it was done in Photoshop.
July 1st, 2005 at 1:29 amI have to admit what the woman did was wrong but to have her picture posted on the web site is not good either. I guess today you have to be careful what you do in public. The thing is, she is not what I would call a public figure so her privacy is being taken away. On the other hand, she really should not take her pet out in public like that or pay the consequences. I have a pet and if he (my dog) deficates out of doors I am responsible for cleaning it up.

July 1st, 2005 at 7:29 amMeh. It happened in public, so any reasonable expectation of privacy is gone. Sucks to be her, but you reap what you sow.
July 3rd, 2005 at 4:44 amThat is pretty normal korean behavior. A rude korean lets her dog shit on a train. Normal. Doestn give a shit. Normal. Other koerans flip out. normal. Other koreans act like a wild mob. normal. Pretty much all animals including the dog.
July 3rd, 2005 at 5:11 pmImagine you’re on the subway and the car is filled with the acrid stench of dog shit… but you’re already on the car until the next stop, and the owner acts like it’s not her problem.
I hope she becomes notorious for this, and that it follows her for several more years!

July 6th, 2005 at 2:10 amshe should be forced into community service for a few weeks to sweep the subways - and her dog is placed in a pound until she completes animal care school! (else stone the witch.)
July 7th, 2005 at 11:12 pmShe doesn’t respect her fellow train riders, so why should they respect her. She got what she deserved.
July 8th, 2005 at 8:58 amIf she doesn’t respect other’s rights to travel in a clean train, why should other people respect her right to privacy? Maybe she has now learned her lesson the hard way. Maybe other’s will also learn this lesson - you can’t get away with this behaviour in this day and age. she deserved what she got.
July 9th, 2005 at 1:39 pmLonger you live, farther you tend to project into the future based on present observations. What I saw happening projected in a straight line to a cyberspace equivalent of the death squads in Brazil. Hear their words and you will find yourself sympathizing with them. It’s not a question of fairness. It’s a question of a sustainable society. Ask yourselves if you want deathsquads roaming the streets of Japan. Why should the answer be any different for the cyberworld? Are bodily harms really all that different from non-physical harms?
July 9th, 2005 at 4:59 pmFucking shit Bitch!
July 9th, 2005 at 9:36 pmSeems to me that people are simply not aware of the fact that some of us, not necessarily me, might actually enjoy the scent of dog excrement. After all, it’s one of the most natural things in the world. What if the poor dog just desperately needed to empty its colon right there and then? And don’t tell me that this never happened to you! Remember that day when you were stuck on that damn late bus and you just couldn’t hold it in? Pretending it was someone elses odor? Didn’t think so. So give the dog and the girl a little break. After all, what comes in must eventually come out.
July 10th, 2005 at 9:39 amSo the guy takes a video of it, but why not clean it up him/herself? Why does everyone have to keep bitching about a problem instead of simply solning it? So she’s a prick, big deal, if you go out much you know that’s not unique, so just deal with the situation and make the best of it. There’s even a slim chance of shaming her into better behaviour in the future without debasing yourself.

July 14th, 2005 at 5:34 pmI don’t see any problem with putting pics of her all over the place and calling her dog shit girl. Heck, put them on billboards all over Korea. What is with you people who think there is some sort of right to privacy in a public setting?
July 15th, 2005 at 1:13 amThe old couple doesn’t deserve to be spoken to like that when this asshole was obviously in the wrong. Just an afterthought but they should have stepped in the doo and wiped it on her pretty dress so she could smell nice for work.
July 16th, 2005 at 9:53 amI think people are generally defensive about being Told to do. Maybe the old couple should have asked her instead. Perhaps when you are ask someone respectfully to clean up there mess, you get a better response than a “Fuck Off” food for thought.
July 22nd, 2005 at 7:10 amI might “respectfully ask” someone to turn down their music, or slide over a bit to give me more room. But if someone’s dog shits on the train floor near me, and the owner doesn’t immediately have the sense to clean it up, then she’s obviously a thoughtless, inconsiderate, self-centered bitch who doesn’t deserve common courtesy or know how to respond to it, and badly needs to be told how to act in public.
July 22nd, 2005 at 8:42 amWhy was this women allowed in the first place to bring aboard a non working dog on a closed mass transit system. This alone indictates to me she has no common sense. Also what if the dog was aggressive , also the dog pooh poses a health hazard why couldn’t of she just been sited for those things? Public humilation I am all for but I would of first gone to proper authorities then posted story. Then you in a sense are no better then the first offender by not following through proper steps provided to handle such acts.
July 27th, 2005 at 2:27 pmI’m not surprised in the least. Korean subways are notoriously clean.
July 30th, 2005 at 8:36 pmShe broke two rules:
She mucked up a clean place and she disrespected an elderly person.
Hey folks, as society grwos larger and thus more urban, the need for decency becomes more paramount. I am not opposed to her photo being posted however, there should exist some way for the Korean people to let her make amends -find forgiveness. In my state in the US Men who dont pay child support have their pictures on billboards and are referred to as “Dead Beat Dads”. For whatever its worth I beat people are cleaning up after their dogs on the train! Oh yes, I wonder how many of the people who wrote in saying this action was so poor ACTUALLY RIDE THE TRAIN TO WORK EVERYDAY OR HAVE ACTAULLY SONE SO FOR SOME EXTENDED PERIOD IN THEIR PASTS. I grew up riding the subway from day one with my mother. It can be lousy an dits imperative for it to be kept clean and orderly.
August 1st, 2005 at 10:11 amcleaning is for those that get paid to clean, no reason for her to clean. If they want people to clean then leave suplly like a mop so person can clean if he/she wants to
August 9th, 2005 at 6:39 amobviously someone who doesn’t commute by train on a daily basis…
August 9th, 2005 at 11:14 amBrightstuff: I’ve been in the Busan subway, and I didn’t think it was exceptionally clean. It wasn’t as bad as New York (though one problem there is age), but it wasn’t as clean as the one in Fukuoka, Japan.
August 9th, 2005 at 2:21 pm
August 9th, 2005 at 3:25 pmI thought it pets aren’t allowed in the public transportation.. shouldn’t she be fined for that only? other than the fact of makin mess… she should b tripped finned.. for 1. pet on pub transportaion. 2. making a mess on pub transportation.(i think even spitting or throwing trash in pub transportaion should be fined) 3. disrespecting fellow rider..middle finger? + rights of commuter to have clean air.. view… inside train.
August 10th, 2005 at 4:31 amopps typo.. i mean that.. not it.. “i thought it pets” and triple. not tripped… “she should b tripped” lol
August 10th, 2005 at 4:40 amThe “netizens” probably went too far if you only consider this particular situation.
But you can’t feel sorry for the bitch -this is only one example of her behavior. I’m sure she acts selfishly in this manner all the time.
Let’s keep in mind
1)the fact that she told everyone to “fuck off” or something to that extent
2)that the senior citizens sitting next to her ended up cleaning up the mess out of sense of citizenry
they should find her dog and eat it
August 13th, 2005 at 5:04 pmwell but why don’t you, the administer of this website, try to blur out the face of the woman in due respect to some ppl who support for the right of privacy?
August 18th, 2005 at 7:04 amHey guys, this is most probably just a scam. Her finger is very suspicious, and her posture does not fit the sign she’s showing. And where is the dog? She is carrying so many things, where is the dog? How can you handle a dog with so many things to carry?
The dog poo also looks suspicious. Must have been a realy sick dog.
August 19th, 2005 at 10:52 pmboob
August 28th, 2005 at 2:35 pmperhaps she was just a few moments too late and had meant to ram that digit right up the dog’s poop chute to prevent such a tragically gross and irresponsible pet owner catastrophe?
August 30th, 2005 at 2:59 amI wouldn’t even consider cleaning that up. Fuck everyone else!
September 1st, 2005 at 12:20 pmI am sick and tiered of the leeway given to dirty dogs and their equally filthy owners. Next time you take your ‘crapper’ out for a ‘walk’ consider that many people see them as vermin (what rat does a dump that big?)I am not in favour of a society where people are named and shamed, but there must be something done to curb dog ownership and all the shit that comes with it.

September 6th, 2005 at 9:33 pm:mad:Watta hell!!
September 7th, 2005 at 12:31 amIf she doesn’t respect public space, her picture can be online (also a public space)
she is very dirty.
September 9th, 2005 at 10:25 pmI am very sad and angry.
because, I am a korean, too
korean are don’t like her!!
(sorry, I don’t english well..^-^;)
she is dirty
September 10th, 2005 at 12:22 ambut she is not bad girl.
I think she was at a loss[was puzzled] what to do.
I believe firmly her.
becuse, I am korean, too
(sorry, I don’t english well..)
September 11th, 2005 at 2:25 amTypical to see her sort of disconnection from responsibility and humanity due to pride and defensiveness. I wonder how many of this site’s (and world’s) commentators would honestly get down and do the wipe for their own dog? Not many, I suspect. Especially if no one else were around… One has only to look at the trash and litter in cities for verity.
To the subsequious sycophant who posted about ‘right to privacy in public’: while no one expects privacy in public, no one expects a world-available audience, either.
In most ways, the shitty behavior and reaction of most ‘interested parties’ far, far outweighs the shittiness of the dog and woman’s attitude.

The entry includes emails and voicemail recordings. This kind of thing — publicly shaming a person for rude behavior by posting voice recordings, video, and photos on the Web — is becoming very common — sidekick thief, subway flasher, camera thief, subway puppy poo girl.

April 30th, 2008 at 6:27 pmYou’re only telling half the story. There’s also a video on the Korean blog sites. She was yelling at everybody and being a total asshole and disrespectful to everybody on the train cussing at people saying she doesn’t have to clean the s**t up. She’s just a typical princess that has entitlement issues. And she’s the modern dog owner that treat a dog as an accessory and doesn’t take care of it right and throws it away later.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:27 pmjoonbug: >> When nearby elders told her to clean up the mess, she basically told them to fuck off
September 16th, 2008 at 11:03 amMight want to read this part again, and leave this where it is - the mighty lands of the Archives.
Y do they have to harp over such an incident, i mean she did not mean it? Is it worth our attention?
December 1st, 2008 at 3:29 amWTF? R people so bored that they distract themselves with such trivial issues?
Well if i am asked who’s being “disrespectful” i think everyone one the train r to be blamed, would u clean up after ur dog’s poo in public? What r u going to do? Hide ur face in shame while doing it? Please! I don’t need to spell out it for u.
She is not trying to be a princess, she’s just wants to save her dignity. I guess that is not enough for cruel public opinion.
Hahahahahaha! Elders? Why should anyone care what they think? Even if a small kid had told her it should not be seen in as any different! Would u embarrass urself in public and clean poo? Even if it’s ur dog, so? Poo is still poo, no different.
P.S. I don’t know her, but i made such a long argument because whatever she did was right given the awkward situation. Either way, she would end up embarrassing herself. Proof is in the pudding.
hqahahahahhahahhhaa
December 5th, 2008 at 12:25 amThey went way too far I would have have punched the a** with the camera and smashed the camera.
January 11th, 2009 at 2:28 pmSo her dog pooped on the subway car but it looks like far too big a mess to handle with a napkin you’d need a mop for that.
If she did clean it up the piece of sh** with the camera still would have took a picture and made a joke she was in a loose or loose situation.
Personally I think everyone involved in the internet vigilantism should promptly go kill themselves now because they nearly ruined that poor girl’s life over what some dog poo on a subway car.
Trust me the world would be a lot better off without you.
It probably took some janitor a whole 5 minutes to clean up.
If this happen in my country she would have been able to press charges against the person who put her real name with the pic on the site and sue their a$$.
Re Stew “They went way too far I would have have punched the a** with the camera and smashed the camera.” Very good you ass wipe - you would them be up on charges of assault, destruction of private property, disturbing the peace etc etc. - should get you 5~7 at least. God, how I love the ramblings of the neanderthals.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:48 amWell, I do agree that she did do wrong, but I mean, how would you like it if your personal background was put out somewhere for everyone to see? How would you like it if your past was something bad that you didn’t want to be reminded of? She dropped out of her University from shame… I felt bad for her.
But yeah, she should clean up her pets poop.
January 30th, 2009 at 7:21 amI really agree on what those people did to that girl because she deserves even worse. knowing that someone already informed you that you should clean your shit, you should have done so. all of the people that are riding that train were quite affected by that incident and if I was in the situation of the people on that train, I would have grabbed her head and clean the shit that her dog made to teach her a lesson.
February 2nd, 2009 at 2:54 pmHonestly, is it so difficult to clean up after your dog? You’d think she’d have baggies on her, that should be one of the first things you check for when leaving your house! Hell, maybe she forgot the bags but she could have asked someone, or explained instead of yelling fuck off to everyone.
February 2nd, 2009 at 10:50 pmThis may have been blown out of proportion but at least she won’t do it again right? But goodness, I don’t understand how hard it is to clean up after a pet. It’s YOUR pet after all, which makes it your responsibility. How the hell is that affecting your dignity? Are women cleaning up after their babies in the bathroom or even in a public place any less dignified as a human being just because they’re fulfilling a necessary act? Either way, yes, her privacy was invaded, yes, this was blown out of proportion, but that just ensures that she certainly won’t do it again.
seriously though look at tthat shit!!!
you would need a vacume cleaner to get that up off the floor
i wouldnt pic that up if it was my dog and tbh i would probably sware at someone too if they took a pic of me being humiliated in public
but tbh i would probably shoot the dog for that thats duisgusting and obviously not being fed right
March 28th, 2009 at 6:58 amLOL
