[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] Jo Joo-bin (24, in custody), the operator of the 'Baksa Room' accused of producing sexually exploitative materials and distributing them on the internet messenger Telegram, is undergoing his sixth prosecution investigation on the 2nd.


The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Digital Sex Crime Special Investigation Task Force (led by Chief Prosecutor Yoo Hyun-jung) began questioning Jo at 10:20 a.m. that day.


It is reported that Jo's lawyer was unable to attend the investigation due to personal reasons.


A prosecution official stated, "Following yesterday, we are continuing to investigate the operation details of Telegram group chats and channel rooms, as well as the roles of the people involved."


The prosecution is reportedly considering extending Jo's detention period.



Meanwhile, at around 2:40 p.m. on the same day, the prosecution plans to hold a briefing related to support for victims of sexually exploitative videos in a small conference room on the 13th floor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
