Nth Room Sex Scandal

The nth room sex scandal has rocked South Korea and the K-Pop world with a storm. The abuse case is about a series of scandals where women, many of whom are underage, are being sexually exploited. It is said that at least 74 women including 16 underage girls were tricked and blackmailed into sharing sexual images of themselves.  Nth room refers to a mass digital sex abuse scandal that’s happening in South Korea un a messenger app called Telegram. Telegram is usually known for its great cyber security and encoding all contents, making them untraceable. The evil man behind all of this disgusting situation is 25 year old Jo Joo Bin also referred as Cho. Jo Cho Bin created a business out of selling pornographic and sexual abuse videos.

Cho created several closed chat rooms in different “tiers”, the 1st room, 2nd, 3rd and so on…there is where the name comes from. People interested in watching the videos would pay a high amount of money to gain access to the different tiers. Users would pay around 80 dollars to even a 1,200 dollars. The more money it costs, the more disgusting and abusive the video was. The primary targets of these videos where teenagers, they have been victims of over 260,000 men. Payers include famous idols, entertainers, artist, sport stars and CEOs.

This is such a huge issue because South Korean authorities won’t take the issue seriously. Even journalists covering the story have been blackmailed. People are blaming the victims for what happened and survivors of the horrific crime struggle with mental health issues after what happened. I won’t go into details of what the victims went through because it is so disgusting and heartbreaking. So I ask, when the name of the people involved get out please stop supporting them. Even if they’re your favorite idol please for the love of the victims who have suffered don’t ignore what they did. The survivors need justice, be an ally, don’t turn a blind eye or you’re just as bad as the people who made it happen.

I know this isn’t what I usually post about but is very necessary.
