Around 600 people are involved in a chat room, where they are reportedly sharing photos and personal information of female acquaintances and engaging in sexual harassment.
The main method of these crimes involves individuals of various ages and professions, including college students and minors, using photos of female acquaintances to create sexually explicit content and commit sexual offenses.
The chat room’s administrator recently criticized some offenders who stopped their exploitation after media reports about acquaintance humiliation emerged but refused to shut down the chat room.
These offenders have also moved their activities to other chat rooms, continuing their criminal behavior.
The offenders are sharing detailed photos and personal information about their victims. They have sparked even more significant controversy by inflicting sexual humiliation on middle and high school students without hesitation.
They even target elementary school students born in 2013, openly sharing their photos along with details such as location, school, major, and age while continuing their crimes.
Some perpetrators claim that the victims sent nude photos voluntarily or try to justify their actions by citing social issues like feminism.
Recently, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has pledged a strong response to this issue, but the offenders have become even more aggressive despite public criticism.
According to an exclusive report by Pressian, as media coverage of deepfakes has increased, the offenders have threatened to “humiliate the journalists who reported the story” and have expanded the personal information they disclose about victims, including ID cards, phone numbers, and addresses.
The government and society must work together to develop a strong response and systematic measures to protect victims and tackle these crimes. As digital technology is increasingly misused, urgent steps are needed to safeguard victims and prevent further offenses.
