Under these circumstances, two of the 30 accommodations in Korea were equipped with hidden cameras in 42 rooms, and two men were arrested for spying a total of 1,600 guests. The police are investigating that there are other persons related to the case, but it can not be considered that the hotel owner was directly involved in the voyeur.

According to the police, the hidden camera was mounted on a television, a wall outlet, a holder of a hair dryer, etc., and the captured video was streamed live over the Internet. There are 4,000 members registered on the distribution site, and 97 of them have paid $ 44.95 a month (about 5,000 yen) to get the option to play a specific live streaming again. Between November 2018 and March 2019, publishers are expected to have earned as much as $ 6000 (about 670,000 yen).

Korean women who suffered from cover shots made a large-scale demonstration in central Seoul in 2018, and protested , 'Our life is not your pornography.' The Korean government is watching this situation too heavily, and a special team of police regularly checks the public toilets in the city and is considering moving to strict punishment for stealing. In 2018, the pornographic site 'Soranet', where many voyeur videos had been uploaded, was closed, and the operator was sentenced to four years in prison.

On the other hand, said a woman who has been uploaded voyeur video on the Internet with great damage to her mind, says Lee Ji-soo, an expert who deletes the female voyeur video from the Internet. 'Many of my clients are complaining of a heartbreaking cry,' I want to die 'or' I can't leave the house. 'Victims of voyeur video are those who go on their own on some pornographic site I feel that I have seen something, ”said Ji-soo.
