[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] A post claiming to sell a son and daughter has sparked controversy in the secondhand trading community 'Junggonara,' which has about 18 million members.


A user with the nickname 'Yong***' on the Junggonara cafe posted a photo of a boy at 1:43 PM on the 3rd with the title "Selling my son." He wrote, "Due to difficult circumstances, I have decided to sell my son," and added, "The price can be negotiated." He also included his contact information.


Within minutes of posting the photo, the user posted another article titled "Selling my daughter" along with a photo of a girl. This post contained sexually objectifying expressions about the girl.


Both posts have since been deleted.



Meanwhile, last year, the secondhand trading app 'Danggeun Market' also faced controversy over posts such as "Selling a 36-week-old baby for 200,000 won" and "It's hard to make a living, so I'm putting myself up for sale."
