[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Kim Young-jun (29), the suspect in the so-called 'Second n-room' case who disguised himself as a woman to record and distribute nude videos of over 1,300 men, was handed over to the prosecution on the 11th.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sent Kim, who is accused of violating the Child and Youth Sexual Protection Act, the Sexual Violence Punishment Act, and the Child Welfare Act, to the prosecution around 8 a.m. that day. Kim, who had been detained at the Seoul Jongno Police Station detention center, appeared for the first time upon being transferred to the prosecution.

When asked by reporters, "Do you admit to the charges?" he replied, "I am sorry to the victims and will live reflecting on my actions." When requested to briefly remove his mask, he seemed to hesitate for a moment and then simply said, "Sorry." When asked if he had accomplices, he said, "I acted alone." He did not respond to questions such as "What was the purpose of filming the videos?" or "Do you have anything to say to the victims?" and immediately got into the escort vehicle.

Kim is suspected of recording and distributing nude videos of over 1,300 victims from November 2013 until recently. He contacted men through chat apps, induced video calls to record obscene acts, and then distributed and sold the videos on platforms such as Telegram.

He lured men by posing as a woman and posting photos on chat apps, and during the crimes, he even used voice modulation software to deceive the victims. He is also accused of luring seven children and adolescents to his residence or motels, inducing similar sexual acts, and filming them.

Kim possessed about 45,000 videos (120 gigabytes) including videos featuring women for his crimes, some of which were confirmed to be illegally filmed. The police seized about 27,000 videos (5.55 terabytes) filmed by Kim and three original storage devices.

The police began investigating after receiving victim reports in April this year and arrested him at his residence on the 3rd of this month. The police held a personal information disclosure review committee the day before and disclosed Kim’s age, name, and photo, stating, "The case is serious as it involves producing and distributing sexual exploitation materials of 39 male children and adolescents."

The police are also conducting additional investigations into the redistribution of videos produced by Kim and those who purchased them. To prevent secondary damage, they plan to destroy the original storage devices containing the videos and upload the illegal videos to a tracking system to verify distribution records and then delete and block them.

Meanwhile, this case was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board under the title "We demand thorough investigation, punishment, and disclosure of personal information of those involved in the illegal filming and distribution of nude videos, the second N-room case," and received over 220,000 signatures.
