The American media New York Post reported on the remarks of an Australian woman that the problem of ‘illegal filming’ in Korea is serious and that it is mandatory to bring a hidden camera (hidden camera) detector when traveling.

Jennings said, “When you enter the women’s bathroom, all the gaps are covered with toilet paper.”

In particular, it is said that hidden cameras can be found in unexpected places such as fire alarms and clocks.

Jennings also introduced how to use it, telling travelers to always carry a ‘hidden camera detector’.

The New York Post said, “In Korea, ‘molka’, in which men illegally film women in schools, bathrooms, and offices, is rampant.”

In addition, the media added, “The problem of ‘revenge pornography (retaliation pornography)’ in which sexual intercourse was filmed without the consent of the other party is also prevalent.” Retaliation pornography refers to sexual images or videos that are distributed in order to retaliate against an ex-lover.

The British daily Daily Mail said, “Korea boasts excellent technology such as high-speed Internet and cutting-edge smartphones,” but “these technological advances have also mass-produced micro cameras used for illegal filming and hidden camera criminals who use them to distribute the footage online. “ he pinched.
