I wonder how they explain and justify the sentence term to the crime?14 years for a petty? Even if you think he deserves it, how do you get 14 years for that?

A lot of Asian countries have tough sentencing, but Korea isn't one of them.In Korea, being "drunk" is a get out of jail free card.
For a lot of Korean men, other SE Asian countries are their playgrounds. They are well known to be on their worst behavior there. People who are of a "lesser class" are really talked down to by Koreans.
This guy was probably drunk, and raging mad because he lost money. He wouldn't pull a knife on some rich Chinese guy there, but he'd do it to a Vietnamese cab driver, as many Koreans look down on them. They are not as "good" as he is.
Let's hope other Koreans take notice.
