According to the " Agreement on the Status of the US Military in South Korea ", only when the US military commits 12 vicious crimes such as murder, rape, drug trafficking, and beating to death, the South Korean police can continue to detain them without having to hand them over to the US military first. South Korea's Busan Daily once pointed out that it is this unequal agreement that has left South Korean police helpless in the illegal acts of the US military.
After the news of the US military running into a drunken driving and fleeing, it aroused dissatisfaction with South Korean public opinion. Some netizens angrily denounced, "Catch them and release them again, it's really irritating. They should be expelled directly!" Some netizens also complained, "The Republic of Korea is really like a vassal state of the United States! The government should quickly revise the unequal agreement so that the US military can also be punished according to the law." Some netizens lamented, "I feel so heartbroken for a kind citizen!"
