SEOUL - South Korean police have arrested two men for using illegal spy cameras at motels to film and livestream videos of about 1,600 guests, raking in about 7 million won over the past three months, police said on Wednesday.
Illicit filming has surged in South Korea with growing use of mobile devices. Its pop music industry is reeling from a scandal over a celebrity’s sharing of videos he took secretly while having sex. The footage from the cameras, hidden in television boxes, sockets and hair dryer holders, was broadcast live on a website, police said.
More than 6,600 cases of illicit filming were reported to police last year, or about a fifth of all sexual abuse cases investigated, up from 3.6 percent in 2008, prosecutors have said.
