The taskforce also targets “revenge porn”, private sex videos filmed and shared without permission by disgruntled ex-boyfriends, ex-husbands, or malicious acquaintances. An Hyeon-cheol came through this year’s competition for highly-coveted government jobs at the KCSC, when there were 146 applicants for each available position, but his duties are a far cry from what he expected.

They can instruct South Korean sites to take down suspect videos, but the vast majority are hosted on overseas servers beyond their jurisdiction — when they tell domestic internet service providers to block access, but can only ask the foreign operators to remove them voluntarily. “We recently had a victim who gave us 100 different site addresses where a sex video secretly shot by her ex-boyfriend was uploaded,” Lee said, acknowledging that completely removing a video was “nearly impossible” with material being disseminated and shared online at the press of a button.

Nearly 5,500 people were arrested for such offences last year, up 22 per cent on 2016, police data showed — and 97 per cent of them were men.“I and other women share this fear that we can fall victim to spycam crimes anytime, anywhere,” said the Seongnam resident.
