Hundreds of hotel guests in South Korea were secretly filmed and live-streamed online. Cameras were hidden inside digital TV boxes, wall sockets and hairdryer holders, police say.

Seoul Around 1,600 people have been secretly filmed in hotel rooms in South Korea, with the footage live-streamed online for paying customers to watch, police said Wednesday.

Two men have been arrested and another pair investigated in connection with the scandal, which involved 42 rooms in 30 hotels in 10 cities around the country. Police said there was no indication the hotels were complicit in the scheme. Cameras were hidden inside digital TV boxes, wall sockets and hairdryer holders and the footage was streamed online, the Cyber Investigation Department at the National Police Agency said in a statement.

Illicit spy cam cases skyrocket in South Korea 02:24In response, Seoul launched a special squad of women inspectors, who have been conducting regular inspections of the city's 20,000 or so public toilets to search for spy cameras, though some critics have denounced the move as a superficial response to a societal issue.

Sick

Everyone sounds surprised at South Korea South sleazy actions. This is what they do.

Here is a scanner we use for low cost and portable options.

This is not news I lived in Korea for nine and a half years almost every hotel had someone doing this! You knew as a patron to thoroughly check bathrooms and bedrooms for hidden cameras!! A lot of times it was employees not owners!

Horrible

Sexual video sent to North Korea!

This is how you check for hidden cameras

I posted about this last month about the Casinos in Las Vegas. 1. RF scanners are useless in detection of hidden cameras 2. The Magnetometer in your average android cell phone can do much more. But a TSCM sweep is king in these scenarios (we do & train)

Uncivilized. 🙄

Have to see it to believe it!

This case is outrageous by hotels management and their's workers it could costs themselves financial responsibility by biggest lawsuits And criminals among who is responsibility.

Probably hourly 'love hotels' where couples, who often live several generations to a house, go for privacy.

🤣🤣😱🤫🤣🤣✌🏾

Damn I might be on this shit 😂😂

What channel is this on?

Would love to know if they are hotels that are part of a chain & if any victim will begin suing.

Silly and awkward

Alarming!

Don't give Trump any ideas about how to make more money with his hotel/residential properties!

Ummm WTH is going on?!?! 👀

Please tell me Trump stayed in South Korea at least once and they videotaped him gorging down Big Macs and eating his boogers!

This is repulsive but it seems to be everywhere these turds need to be castrated! Is this what you do with your life? You watch other people live their own? To all you sacks of diarrhea who do this your days are numbered. Hope you all burn in hell!!

sharonstone Slither ?

Bruh lmao

I knew it

Yup... totally possible... With todays mini cams and the quality getting better by the minute this will be the new norm. In CA. we had a hotel that was doing it a few years back. Maint. was putting remote cams in the AC vents and selling recordings on the B-market.

Are you kidding me?

Ew!!!

It's everywhere. A lot of U.S. BnB's are getting cought constantly for their, ' security cameras'. Not the regulated visible ones either.😕 Just check the rooms. This is nothing surprising. News on the daily somewhere about spy cams 🌏👀📹💻💵💷💶💴🌎

ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!

I see many ppl joking & that's kinda weird. But if this happened 2U it wouldn't be too funny, huh? It's creepy & sick. How awful it would be to find out your Rm had a hidden camera the entire time. I THINK it's awful and certainly not funny.

Although there has been no such problem in the South in the past, it seems to have been brought up by the curiosity of various values of different countries as Confucian ideas gradually fade away and multicultural families increase. In general, -

Baby pop 2

Wow, Talk about creepy

This is some shit straight out of a movie

Bringing your own tent might be a good idea when staying in hotels🤔

Not just Korea. Everywhere.

This is why you do your business in the hotel parking lot and not the room.

What’s wrong with South Korea... Do they love watching hidden camera that much? Disgusting.

What is wrong with South Koreans?

the fuck...

Kind like the NSA

Not only in South Korea.

baby chocolate

Not cool, South Korea. 👿

Cue the Lawyers...

Don't know what to think.

👀

Sadly, the jig was up when guests started to request refunds from watching my room.

They can watch me all night

I’m creeped out.

There's a business idea here. A hotel where you can stay for free if you agree to be streamed.

What the...

No kidding, I venture to say that happens everywhere. Heads up people, someone has eyes on you.

RiTaeDaeGTOP They are disgusting 🤢

Perverts !

zubda_malik

I’ll do it willingly right now, if I get the money the customers watching are paying. 🤣

Have you seen this EXBCtv Maybe you can make some money of this. for the content …

Inevitable and truly reflective of how terrible humans can be.

The higher ups in Korea are probably crying they can't find any celebrity related to those hotels to pin this whole scandal on right now.

they deserve N.Korea to kick there ass

Why the surprise? Did you not notice the vending machines around town selling “soiled “ Women’s undergarments? Kinda gives you an idea where the place is at! LOL

No mention of the hotel names, please?

The DNC will do anything for a buck.

I don’t care I just want my share of revenue!!!!

This is why you should stay at a Hilton

The perps should be put down for thinking that they would not be found easily. Just take them to the vet and put them out of their misery! :p lol

Talk about a wake-up call! 😂

Looooll!!!! Tuma link

The Harry Truman Show?

Now THAT'S a 21st century crime, folks.

Old movie with a twist... Sliver

We need those cameras to indicate our corrupt police and many institutions,not in ladies restrooms

windmillcharger Well that’s disturbing

I don't mind! I pretty confident about my performance, could use some work on the dismount. I'm getting older! However, I would like my share!!

On even ladies restroom this is crazy

Oh. My. 🤔

infinite_scream

Send him there...That'll stop the nonsense..

So what you’re saying is that there might be footage of 810ofclubs in his blinged out leather and it’s only gonna cost $44.95 to see it!? Hey Knightsgeee - halvsies on a subscription?

Ooooh Noooo!!! I ate the whole pizza in one sitting!!!

Even worse, the feed always lags whenever they stop nattering and get to the good stuff.

Again laws being broken and nothing can happen to them sounds like something that the leadership of the NFL would do and get away with it now everyone who needs to scan there room before sleeping in it

My favorite is laying in bed naked with the remote control between my legs

callmejunie Maybe they saw you slip when you left the bathroom...or when Sripri fell off the bed.

Toucherandrich

Does DonaldTrump own the hotel?

realDonaldTrump does the same thing at Mar a Loco.

This is crazy. This hotel. I don't think anybody's going back
