[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The popular travel community "Yeohaeng-e Michida," which has 1.2 million Instagram followers, experienced an incident where obscene material was posted on its official social network service (SNS).

In response, Yeohaeng-e Michida deleted the apology and posted a second apology. In the apology, Yeohaeng-e Michida stated, "The problematic video was confirmed to have been downloaded through web surfing and is not an illegally filmed video taken directly.

They also said, "In addition to the mandatory corporate legal education, we will conduct additional sexual ethics training for all employees," and added, "We will suspend operation of all Yeohaeng-e Michida channels until sincere problem resolution, including internal education, is completed."

Netizens who viewed the video related to this incident commented, "The composition clearly looks like an illegal filming," and "The fact that they possessed and distributed illegal filming material remains unchanged."
