[Asia Economy Reporters Kwanju Lee, Seungyoon Song] The court has issued an arrest warrant for 'Gatgat,' the original creator of the Telegram 'n-bunbang' chatroom.

On the 12th, Gwak Hyungseop, the warrant judge at Daegu District Court Andong Branch, issued an arrest warrant for Moon Mo (24), known as 'Gatgat,' who was charged with violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse (production and distribution of child sexual exploitation materials) and other offenses. Judge Gwak explained the reason for issuing the warrant, stating, "There is a risk of flight."

The pre-arrest detention hearing for Moon, which began around 11 a.m. that day, ended in about 30 minutes. After the hearing, when reporters asked if he admitted to the charges, Moon replied, "I admit." When asked if he had anything to say to the victims, he said "I'm sorry" twice.

Moon is accused of producing sexual exploitation videos of women, including minors, and distributing them in the Telegram chatroom n-bunbang. He used the nickname 'Gatgat' on Telegram.

He was known as one of the three main operators of n-bunbang, along with Jo Joo-bin (24), who ran the 'Doctor's Room,' and Jeon Mo (38), known as 'Watchman.' The n-bunbang originally created by Moon was also the origin of many similar derivative n-bunbang chatrooms.

The Cyber Safety Division of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency summoned Moon for investigation on the 9th, obtained a confession during the questioning, and then made an emergency arrest before applying for an arrest warrant.

With the issuance of the arrest warrant for Moon, the police are expected to announce additional investigation details and soon hold a personal information disclosure committee to decide whether to disclose Moon's personal information.
