"I couldn't believe what I saw": What Happened in the Nth Room?

The “Nth room” sexual abuse scandal, the latest in a series of digital sex crime cases over the years, has left the entire nation in shock.
In a number of Telegram chat rooms, the victims, including underage girls, were allegedly forced to perform gruesome, torturous sex acts, such as carving the word ‘slave’ into their skin. Some were raped on camera.
And to watch them suffer, some 260,000 people paid up to 1,200 dollars each to join the chat rooms.

This was maybe 10 years ago nothing has changed.

[@seurn7801]

I rather not use the term genius when describing monsters like him, even though you mentioned that he is only in a horrible way but that will just feed their egos & romanticize once again, this type of crime. Same as when serial killers are given "cool" names. What he did is sick, disturbing, and inhumane. He should never be called smart, let alone "genius". I am just sick and tired of people thinking stuff like this is cool just because the criminal was detailed while doing their crime, that they were smart enough not to get caught early or any of that shit. He's mentally sick and I don't think he deserves to be called a genius. I hope you get my point.

[@YogurtwithBerries]

​@@seurn7801 I know this is an old comment, but I felt inclined to respond. I totally understand the disgust that comes from people describing sickening criminals with "positive" adjectives, but only people with warped mindsets will romanticize and even worship real criminals and their crimes, no matter how we describe them. And I don't think calling them intelligent necessarily romanticizes them either. In fact, I think acknowledging their characteristics breaks down stereotypes of what a lot of people think criminals, specifically sexual predators and sex traffickers, ought to be: dumb, ugly, creepy, fat, shady, etc. More people have to realize those sex offenders could be anyone, and that people can be monsters and monsters can be smart. They could be "geniuses", professors, teachers, people in authority, presidents, CEOs, and that one smart kid in your class. In this case, Jo Ju-bin, aka Baksa, was a model university student with a 4.0 CGPA, volunteered at an orphanage, and took part in anti-violation campaigns. It is super uncomfortable for me to see a cybersex trafficker and a sexual predator in that way, but I feel that society as a whole has to accept these seemingly conflicting characteristics so that they could stop unfairly favoring offenders with such status and actually support the survivors better. Criminals who are really smart are the most dangerous because they are conniving and they will do what they can to get away with their crimes. And to refuse to see and accept the kind of monster that they are is to underestimate what they could do.

[@Clytia]

@@YogurtwithBerries Agreed with your comment. "Genius" by itself as a word simply refers to a remarkable level of intelligence. There is no positive or negative connotation associated with it. It is people themselves who slapped a label on the word and connected it as something "good". In reality, even in fictions, "evil geniuses" tropes are very common e.g. Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes, Yagami Light in Death Note etc. This piece of trash is clearly very intelligent and it is true that it has been such a pity that he used his gifts on the wrong things. Yet, as you said, it is a testament that the most depraved can sometimes be the people with the best careers, statuses and reputation. That's what make them so dangerous because they can masquerade skillfully as anyone's charismatic classmate/coworker/doctor/banker/neighbor/etc. and nobody would even suspect them.

It must be mentally stressful and traumatising too and it may still affect their lives with what they know only, despite having a new identity.

I thought this is one of the headlines now, isn't it? I mean under covid-19 ofc. But I do see this news everywhere online.

[@sreekeerthidonipati9741]

I gotta feeling that this is only the tip of the iceberg.. There are many dark things happening around us and many monsters are happily living with us like normal humans..

[@elad5889]

I just can't hear those stories It's way too hard for me and im getting depressed for weeks every time i hear those horrible stories

[@mmej726]

does SKorea has death penalty? 1yr punishment to a guy that is involved is a joke.

[@kj6597]

I believe they do

[@anonofDeath]

America: imprisons an innocent man for 30 years Korea: imprisons a devil for a year

[@Kyubiwan]

Also America: Sentences a woman who made a fatal DUI crash to only 4 years

[@atlantishorizon]

Speechless

[@NurseArielPhysiotherapists]

Death penalty for those who committed rape or sexual abuse, pornography

[@only_treats_no_tricks]

Only 1 years punishment? Wow it must be hard to be girl in Korea 😨

[@emma89695]

That's why everytime my friends and colleagues get crazy bout korean guys, I'm like.. nope, thanks. There must be some good guys there too, but it's too risky to even try to meet one. And I really like guys who don't do surgery and still feel confident bout themselves. Sorry to say that, but that's the reality. I'm really scared of the spy cams that are widely used in korea hotels too.. I wanted to travel there, but now, I can't be sure of my safety and privacy...

[@justsimplyjc]

This kind of news should be spread to raise awareness ❤🙏

[@fourtails1192]

1 year !! That's outrageous !

[@miurtouissi1093]

This is so sick and genuinely makes me so scared of men. I'm sorry I truly am but things like that installs a sense of paranoia inside me. I'm so sorry for the victims. What a horrible sick world!!

[@alexc9278]

True... it's so hard to be a woman nowadays... and they say to bring a child in such sick world??

[@shivanithakur2787]

1 year only??? Not fair at all 😑😕

[@social.2184]

Having only 1 year on prison as punish ment? It's adding fuel to fire. They are simply encouraging more criminals with such a low level punishment

[@flyingthundergod3999]

That is sickening

[@awesomevideo5525]

This are just small player in this game, big one are might be protected by government.

[@Redorgreenful]

... Hence they should be watched over and kept alive. They don’t get to die by suicide as part of an honor-bound culture. They have to be forced to confess.

[@dilyaTebya]

Surely they need to study this case in school so that the girls and boys know not to trust random chats. This is why its important to have social and moral studies.. Especially on internet culture.

[@imthecoolest50]

Lol teach the boys not to trust random chats? Bruh THEY ARE THE ONES MAKING THOSE RANDOM CHATS. You actually think they would target boys to torture them like they do to girls? Only boys would enjoy and buy such gruesome content. I’m not wrong, and I never will be wrong about this. Keep telling me I’m wrong while men continue to torture women all over the world.

[@abhayjeetsingh6869]

Harder punishment cant stop this because offender always thought he will never get caught...

[@charmander777]

the scary thing is that i'm sure this is just barely scratching the surface

[@user-zj2tl2ky9d]

Thank you so much for making this video. Please be noted all over the world, and we sincerely hope that all the perpetrators who here will be punished Please fight with us... Please spread this case. I want You to spread this terrible thing 이 영상을 만들어 주셔서 정말 감사드립니다. 제발 전세계적으로 주목되어서, 여기에 가담한 가해자가 전부 처벌받기를 간절히 바랍니다. 제발 우리와 함께 싸워줘요... 이 사건을 퍼트려줘요

[@b4b_lovely337]

Why do these prosecutors have sympathy for that man? ! One year is a joke he ruined someone's life.

[@pinklady7184]

I hope he is feeling deep shame behind bars. I also hope his family knows the depravity of his crimes and that would hurt him.

[@bonbon6279]

I find it absurd here that the victims live in discrimination for their whole life and the mastermind only has to go to prison for 1 year, kiddin

[@melrose2455]

From stephanie soo’s video 😔

[@S_V_T17]

Celebrities are included And I'm like wtf If a celeb is involved in this kind of shit How on earth to you except the younger generation learning from you feel? I feel disappointed to know that celebrities where involved in shit like this 🙈 Cause they are like the ones Young starts look up to 💔

[@arturb.1142]

those could have been victims, not perpetrators yk 👀

[@fightmeghost]

yeah she said in the victim list

[@kuromixcore]

What celebs?

[@suave-alpaca8412]

This is beyond sickening and disgusting. How a human can beyond low. The devil himself would probably be sickened. And one year for that??? It’s not only a joke, but it sends a message that this kind of case is not taken seriously and the victims pain means nothing.

[@felicesalvant5144]

Come on. 1 year?? They need to go to prison for 25 years!!!

[@DreamCatcher-yc3fb]

1 year is too less.

[@dannyzero692]

You know, with times like these you wish you could hire a hitman legally for free...

[@fMONA94]

So people with possession of drugs serve years in jail and yet for these horrific crimes only 1 year?

[@ShaylaEnoch]

Omg! I thought humanity couldn't get much worse but after seeing I have little to no hope for humanity anymore because how vile how disgusting how sick and how evil does a person(or several people) have to be to do these atrocious acts
