[Anchor] A video of a motorcycle being driven dangerously is spreading online. It seems the identity of the rider is sparking even greater controversy, is that right?

First, let's take a look at the video in question.

A motorcycle is seen weaving across the center line, driving precariously before eventually losing balance and falling over.

However, the rider simply brushes themselves off as if nothing happened, stands up, and leaves the scene.

The controversy has erupted over the identity of this rider.

The person who uploaded the video claims that the rider appears to be an elementary school student and that the motorcycle seems to have been stolen.

They also pointed out that the rider seems to be acting recklessly, knowing that they will not be punished because they are a minor protected by the juvenile law (chokbeop-sonyeon).

However, the rider's exact age and whether the motorcycle was stolen have not yet been confirmed.

The video has spread rapidly, nearing 1 million views in less than a day. Netizens have reacted by calling for measures to prevent further accidents and demanding a revision of the juvenile law system.

Currently, the government is reviewing a plan to lower the age threshold for criminal responsibility for serious crimes such as murder, robbery, and sex offenses from the current under 14 to under 13.

It appears that in-depth social discussion is needed to ensure that the juvenile protection system is not perceived as a license to commit crimes.
