[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] The so-called 'Nth Room case,' in which minors and women were threatened to produce sexual exploitation materials and illegally distributed through Telegram chat rooms, is causing national outrage. As famous celebrities such as actors and singers are rushing to demand the strict punishment and disclosure of personal information of all those involved in the Nth Room case, actor Park Bo-young also encouraged participation in related petitions.

On the 22nd, Park Bo-young posted on her fan cafe, urging, "Please join the petition so that the perpetrators can be punished and the victims can feel safe."

She opened by saying, "While looking at a beautiful day, I felt so heartbroken that I had to write this," and asked, "Are you aware of the Nth Room that has been frequently appearing in the news these days?"

She continued, "There are young friends who have been horrifically abused beyond words," and encouraged petition participation by saying, "Please join the petition so that the perpetrators can be sufficiently punished."

Park Bo-young added, "I wondered if it was appropriate to write such a post on the fan cafe, but I felt sorry for the victims who must be spending these warm days in darkness, so I posted it," and asked for understanding, saying, "Please kindly understand. I feel really frustrated and angry."

She emphasized, "We need to take action to create even a small change."

The full text of Park Bo-young’s fan cafe post is as follows:

It feels like spring has suddenly come close! I can’t believe we are welcoming spring so quickly.

While looking at a beautiful day, I felt so heartbroken that I had to write this.

Are you aware of the Nth Room that has been frequently appearing in the news these days?

There are young friends who have been horrifically abused beyond words.

Please join the petition so that the perpetrators can be sufficiently punished.

Honestly, I wondered many times if it was right to write such a post in a fan cafe.

But feeling sorry for the victims who must be spending these warm days in darkness, I ended up writing a few words.

Please kindly understand. I feel really frustrated and angry.

Please join the petition so that the perpetrators can be punished and the victims can feel safe.

It doesn’t take much time. We need to take action to create even a small change. Thank you!
