Watch that and tell me it isn't the fakest shit you've ever seen in your life. This video is a feminist's cartoon fantasy of what dudes in this forum and others are espousing. This is a (wildly successful) propaganda attack, and you guys are in the sights.
It just went viral (on the English speaking web) a few hours ago and there are people coming out of the woodwork claiming to have proof that it's fake. I will eat my hat if this isn't proven to be fake within the next 12 hours... but it will already be too late. See:

An online video appearing to show a Korean woman being harassed by a group of western men in a nightclub was staged, two men who say they acted in the video have claimed.
The video, which has caused outrage online in recent days and appeared in Korean and foreign media including the Washington Post website, appears to show a number of men sexually and verbally harassing an apparently intoxicated Korean woman. The men are shown cursing at the woman, filming her chest and forcing her own finger up her nose and into her mouth.
Some of the comments from Internet users attacked the woman for being “obsessed with white guys,” or “what you get is what you deserve.” Others said she was embarrassing her country, calling her a “kimchi-girl,” a degrading term used for Korean women.
Two men, however, separately contacted The Korea Herald claiming that the video was edited and was in fact part of a series of short horror films shot in 2011.One of the men said that the video had been shot to show the “horror” of how society treats people with physical deformities. In the controversial video, the men are also shown ridiculing the young woman over her teeth.
After attracting thousands of angry comments from Korean Internet users online and being picked up by Korean media, Max Fisher of the Washington Post wrote about the video on his official blog on Monday.
One of the alleged actors, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, provided a screenshot from a Facebook conversation appearing to show the alleged director admitting that the video was staged. The apparent director of the video is a Korean film studies graduate of Hanyang University in Seoul.
In the conversation the apparent director said that he uploaded the video three years ago but it had since been taken down and he was unsure of how it had gotten online again.
“I can see the video is reedited and cut many scenes. I’m in (sic) page with you in announcing that the video was fake,” he wrote.
He also suggested doing an interview with the woman in the video to clear up any misunderstanding.
He, however, suggested that they “wait a while” first before doing anything.
The alleged director was contacted by The Korea Herald but had yet to respond at the time of writing.
