After the film was released, it sparked public outrage about the case; as a result, the case was reopened, and investigations began into the unfortunate incidents. The incident eventually reached its way to the National Assembly of South Korea, where a bill also passed in late October 2011 to abolish the statute of limitations for sex crimes against minors and disabled people.
