[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The prosecution has demanded a five-year prison sentence for Park Mo (30), a comedian who passed the KBS public recruitment exam, on charges of illegally filming inside the women's restroom at the KBS research building.

At the sentencing hearing for Park held on the 11th before Judge Ryu Hee-hyun of the Seoul Southern District Court Criminal Division 13, the prosecution made this demand and requested the court to disclose his personal information and impose a five-year employment restriction at child and youth-related institutions and welfare facilities for the disabled.

The prosecution explained the reason for the demand, stating, "The defendant purchased and installed a miniature camera and conducted illegal filming over a long period. The crime was committed against workplace colleagues with whom he had a trusting relationship, and the victims are seeking severe punishment."

In his final statement, Park said, "I apologize to the victims and their families who suffered because of me. I will also undergo psychiatric treatment and education to prevent reoffending."

Park was arrested and indicted on charges of secretly filming or attempting to film victims dozens of times from October 2018 to May of this year inside the women's restrooms or changing rooms at the KBS research building.

The sentencing for Park will take place on the 16th of next month.
