[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] A man in his 20s who claimed to have watched sexual exploitation material from the "n-bunbang" attempted an extreme act. The "n-bunbang incident" refers to a case where minors and women were coerced into producing sexual exploitation material, which was then illegally distributed through Telegram chat rooms.


On the 24th at around 11:50 PM, the Yeosu Police Station in Jeonnam announced on the 25th that Mr. A came to the police station and confessed, saying, "I watched n-bunbang videos."


During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly said that he "ingested poison out of guilt."


After noticing that Mr. A's complexion turned bluish, the police called 119 and transferred him to a university hospital in Gwangju.


Mr. A is currently receiving treatment at the hospital, and his life is not in danger.


According to the police, Mr. A stated that "he was not a member of n-bunbang but watched sexual exploitation videos and has related videos stored on his mobile phone."


The police plan to investigate the detailed circumstances of the case, including whether Mr. A attempted the extreme act due to conscience pangs after watching sexual exploitation material distributed through n-bunbang.
