Sending 17 Million Won to BJ Secretly by Middle School Student's Parent... "Control Mechanism Needed"
[Asia Economy Reporter Seo So-jung] In Chungnam, a middle school student secretly transferred over 17 million won to a live broadcast BJ without her parents' knowledge.
A, who lives in Boryeong, Chungnam, confirmed that 17.8 million won was charged 60 times over 5 hours from 9:40 PM on the 1st to 2:30 AM on the 2nd using her card.
A's middle school daughter accessed a live broadcast platform and sent sponsorship money to the BJ using her card.
A sought help from the police, but was told it was difficult to proceed with the case since there was no illegal act such as coercion during the payment process. She also protested to the card company, but since the family used the card on behalf of the cardholder, canceling the payment was also difficult.
A expressed regret that there were no specific control measures while minors made large payments under their parents' names.
