[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] It has been revealed that a Seoul Metro employee illegally filmed female passengers for several months through closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) installed inside trains and on platforms.


According to Seoul Metro on the 1st, Mr. A (54), belonging to Sinjeong Train Operation Office, illegally filmed female passengers on the CCTV installed on Line 2 trains and platforms with his mobile phone and posted the videos on social networking services (SNS).
