Does no one watch over the journalists at the Chosun Ilbo. This story is disturbing enough: Juvenile Prostitution Moves Into Cyberspace, but the journalists choice of vocabulary leaves a lot to be desired.

The reason the sex trade is mushrooming online is because offline brothels are closing due to draconian new laws, forcing potential customers to seek alternative ways to buy sex, they added. (my emphasis)

"Draconian" - this implies that the laws are too strict. Let me remind you that this article is about juvenile prostitution. And, customers are being forced to find prostitutes through other than the normal room salons. Boo hoo. This too implies that the police are wrong in "forcing" the customers to go online. Perhaps none of this should be too surprising in a country where the government wants to pay people for not using prostitutes.
