South Korea
In the 1970s in South Korea, if you were caught crossing in the wrong place, you had to stand in the 'Box of Shame' for 30 minutes.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (31/100).
There is no evidence found in the retrieved sources that supports the existence of a 'Box of Shame' used in South Korea during the 1970s for people caught crossing in the wrong place. The term 'Box of Shame' appears in unrelated contexts such as gaming and fictional works but not in relation to historical practices in South Korea. Therefore, this claim lacks verification from credible historical or archival evidence.
