[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A comedian who installed an illegal hidden camera in a women's restroom has been brought to trial.

The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office's Women and Children Crime Investigation Division (Chief Prosecutor Oh Se-young) announced on the 21st that freelance comedian Park Mo was arrested and indicted on charges of filming using a camera under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.

According to the prosecution, Park is accused of entering the women's restroom inside the KBS Research Building in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on May 29 and installing an illegal filming device disguised as a mobile phone power bank.

The police confirmed the charges through digital forensics on the illegal filming device seized at the scene and the mobile phone submitted by Park, and on the 30th of last month, they sent Park to the prosecution under arrest.

At the time, KBS initially explained that Park was "not a KBS employee (staff)," but after criticism of "scapegoating" arose, they apologized, stating, "We deeply regret this incident and repeatedly promise to do our best to prevent recurrence and secondary damage."
