Do you know how serious the privacy violation problem can be in a country?
Some countries are small in size, and there are not many people, but they are called "the world's center".
There are more than 6,000 locally registered crimes each year.
The hole on the toilet compartment was wrapped in toilet paper.
There are cameras in the hotel rooms.
These images are being streamed through overseas servers to the dark web.
Videos with less than 100 views may also bring tens of thousands of yuan in revenue to the uploader.
What's even more frightening is that primary school students were encouraged to secretly photograph their mothers taking a bath for money
Even their president admitted that filming has become part of the country.
This country known as the King of the Shadow is our neighbor Korea.
Today we will look at how crazy Korea is and has no bottom line.
In South Korea, the shooting of the incident is simply layered out, and the method is also strange.
South Korea's candid photography chaos
In February this year, a 50-year-old uncle dedicated to the needle camera transformed into a neutral pen bonded on his shoes, while the subway was crowded, he quietly stretched his foot to the front row of the women's dress placed underneath, and so royally took a snapshot.
What is even more shocking is that not only ordinary people, but even famous people who are standing under the lighting of the lighting dare to stretch their hands.
In 2019, South Korea’s SBS TV news host Kim Zhongyun was arrested while shooting a woman’s lower body in the Seoul subway.
I thought it was just a moment of confusion, but after the police recovered his mobile phone data, they found that this was not his first time at all.
His mobile phone stores a large number of private images of different women in different periods, and even pictures of female artists he secretly took when he participated in the show in 2013.
A person who daily broadcasts news and emphasizes social order in front of the camera, but repeatedly violates the privacy of others in private, where is this South Korean moral bottom line?
To be honest, South Korea's filming chaos has long been no isolated problem. Even the serious confrontation between men and women in South Korean society is related to wanton filming.
Nowadays, Korean women are nervous when they go out.
When entering a public toilet, you must first check the gaps in the compartments for fear of cameras; when wearing a skirt on the subway, you must always stare at the feet of the people around you for fear that someone is hiding equipment; even when you go to the mall to try on clothes, you must first touch the fitting room. Hook and mirror.
This long-term fear and precaution has made the already tense relationship between men and women even more tense, and the estrangement between the two sides has deepened.
Seeing this, you will definitely ask, didn't the Korean government take any action in the face of such rampant candid shots? Actually, it's really not inaction.
As early as 2001, South Korea introduced relevant legal provisions against candid photography, and in 2011, it specially increased the punishment.
According to the law, the situation should get better, right?
But the reality just dealt a hard blow. Instead of decreasing, the number of candid shots grew wildly like weeds.
In 2012, South Korean police accepted about 2400 cases related to sneak-shooting. However, in 2017, this number had directly risen to 6470, which has nearly tripled in just five years.
Moreover, the "position" of candid photography is still expanding, and it is no longer limited to public places such as subways and shopping malls.
The hotel's guest rooms, staff dormitories, gym locker rooms, and even the home bathroom have all become the targets of camera takers.
Then why can't this matter be controlled? The most critical reason is that camera equipment is too easy to obtain and surprisingly cheap.
In South Korea, you can buy a micro-camera for a hundred yuan. not only is it waterproof, but also can be long standing, small in size to fit in the plug holes, toothpaste boxes, and even in the buttons of clothes.
You may pick up a small object, and you can't imagine hiding inside the "eye" that can violate privacy. this concealment leaves many victims until the video leaked, not knowing when they were shot.
In addition, there is a more important reason that if these videos are simply edited and uploaded to the website, they can double the money.
Under the temptation of high profits, secret photos naturally continue to be banned repeatedly.
In 2019, a criminal gang installed camera cameras in 30 hotels and 42 rooms in 10 cities in South Korea and secretly captured the privacy of more than 1,600 guests.
They sent these videos to a small website with more than 4,000 people, and 97 users who paid to watch them alone brought them 41,000 RMB (7 million won) in revenue.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are countless small websites in South Korea, and there are a lot of large platforms that circulate these videos in the dark.
If the screening of adults is scary enough, then the underage trend that has emerged now in South Korea is really remarkable.
Many children are tempted by the “high-cost retail money” and are dealing with their female family. Some shower their mom to shower, some record their sister to change clothes, and then sell these videos to the website for money.
These children may not understand how serious what they are doing is, nor do they know that if these videos are circulated, they will make their families unable to lift their heads in front of acquaintances, and make the original warmth at home awkward and cold.
In today’s South Korea, screening has long been not a simple “moral issue”, but a “tumor” that has penetrated into all corners of society.
And such chaos, I don't know how many Korean women will live in fear!
