[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] The "Digital Prison," which publicly discloses the personal information of sex offenders, has sparked numerous controversies by unlawfully revealing the identities of innocent people unrelated to any crimes. Amid these issues, the shocking reality of the "Digital Prison" has been unveiled.

On the 10th, SBS's "Unanswered Questions" conducted an in-depth investigation into the Digital Prison's operators, operational methods, and verification processes. According to whistleblowers, the Digital Prison lured men with advertisements for "free photo synthesis," a method that was a tool for crimes in the Nth Room case. Using this as bait, they threatened and forced victims to perform bizarre acts. If the victims refused, they were threatened with having their personal information exposed, leaving them trapped.

The crime known as "acquaintance humiliation," which uses deepfake technology to merge a friend's photo into pornographic videos, was deliberately exploited by the Digital Prison for advertising purposes. They coerced men who intended to request such "acquaintance humiliation" synthesis into performing bizarre acts under the pretext of "education," tormenting them.

Mr. Jang, who fell into the Digital Prison's trap (advertisement for video synthesis "acquaintance humiliation"), reportedly saw an ad offering free photo synthesis while browsing the internet and made a request. After accessing an SNS chatroom link sent by the person who promised to synthesize the photos, he claims he was subjected to threats. Subsequently, his contact information was disclosed, and he was threatened with exposure on the Digital Prison if he did not comply with their demands.

Following instructions, Mr. Jang entered an SNS chatroom called the "Education Center," where he was forced to memorize dozens of pages of mandatory reading material on A4 paper and was punished if he disobeyed. He was compelled to record videos certifying acts such as standing up and sitting down repeatedly, slapping his own face, shaving his head, reading a letter of repentance while standing on his hands, and dancing naked with his buttocks.

He was also ordered to bring new trainees through the process he endured. After completing all these educational steps, he was assigned duties to assist in operating the Digital Prison. If he disobeyed or left the chatroom, his personal information would be posted on the Digital Prison.

Unable to endure the harassment, Mr. Jang left the chatroom after two weeks, prepared for his personal information to be exposed, and his identity was indeed revealed on the Digital Prison.

Recently, various suspicions and falsehoods have been raised regarding the Digital Prison operator, who was apprehended in Vietnam. The operator claimed that his cousin was a victim of "GodGod," the founder of the Nth Room. He stated that his anger over sex offenders not receiving proper punishment led him to create the Digital Prison. However, experts who viewed his interview analyzed that his claims are likely false, saying he spoke about painful issues as if they were someone else's family matters.
