Case Review
Since 2018, multiple perpetrators in South Korea have used model part-time jobs as bait to trick young women into uploading nude photos or indecent videos. After threatening, take them to shoot videos of sexual exploitation and share them in Telegram chat rooms for paid members to watch or download.
In order to evade the search, the offender will continue to build and disband the chat group, and name it "Room 1", "Room 2", etc., so it is collectively referred to as "Room N".
Among them, the chat group operated by Zhao Zhongbin is the most rampant, known as the "doctor's room".
On November 26, 2020, zhao Zhongbin, a 25-year-old principal offender, was sentenced to 40 years in the first instance.
The "Room N" incident has caused public outrage in South Korea, and South Korean President Moon Jae-in once said on the "Room N" incident that the case is a criminal act of trampling on the victims and should be punished by all perpetrators.
