[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Recently, a post implying gang rape was uploaded on the online community 'FM Korea,' sparking controversy. The administrators have stated their intention to actively cooperate with the police investigation.


On the 2nd, the administrators released an official statement saying, "A petition titled 'Please investigate the sexual crime post uploaded on the FM Korea site' has been submitted," and added, "While it is difficult for FM Korea to legally judge the content of the related post, regardless of legal matters, it violated site regulations and public morals, so it has already been deleted and permanently banned."


They continued, "For reference, the author of the post has only one post on the entire site outside the anonymous board," and emphasized, "If there are illegal elements in the post, it is expected that the police will investigate and punish accordingly, and we will cooperate to the fullest extent if requested for investigation assistance."


Previously, the problematic user posted on this community that he forcibly made his girlfriend have sexual relations with multiple men, causing controversy.


In particular, the user added comments such as "My girlfriend cried a lot at first, but since this is my preference, she now accepts it," and "She seems to endure it with the memory of me treating her well once a day," which provoked public outrage. The post has since been deleted.


In relation to this, on the 30th of last month, a petition was submitted demanding immediate severe punishment, stating that the post constitutes gang sexual exploitation. The petition has currently received over 100 preliminary consents and is under review by the administrator, and as of 9:30 AM on the 3rd, it has garnered the agreement of approximately 99,770 people.


Meanwhile, FM Korea denied allegations that Jo Joo-bin (25), who was sentenced to 40 years in prison for distributing sexual exploitation materials in the Telegram 'Doctor's Room,' was a community user.



The administrators stated, "False information that Jo Joo-bin was a user of FM Korea is being maliciously spread," and refuted, "He has never been a member of FM Korea. In other words, this is baseless malicious false information."
