Sex Offender Personal Information Can Now Be Checked Simultaneously on KakaoTalk and Naver
Improved from KakaoTalk 1st and Naver 2nd dispatch method
to allow simultaneous checking on desired services
Mobile notification viewing authentication simplification to be promoted in the first half of the year
[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Personal information of sex offenders will be available simultaneously on KakaoTalk and the Naver app.
On the 13th, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced that starting this year, the service will be improved to notify personal information of sex offenders simultaneously on KakaoTalk and the Naver app.
The notification of sex offender information is a system that informs the head of a household protecting children and adolescents under 19 years old in the relevant administrative district when a sex offender moves in or out, to prevent sex crimes. It notifies eight items: name, age, photo, physical information (height and weight), address, actual residence, details of the sex crime, criminal record related to sex crimes, and whether an electronic monitoring device is attached.
Previously, when notifying sex offender information via mobile, the information was first sent through KakaoTalk, and if the head of household did not view it, a second notification was sent via the Naver app. The notification method has been changed so that it can be quickly checked on the preferred platform. For heads of households who do not view the notification on mobile, the sex offender information will be resent by mail as before.
The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family plans to simplify the authentication process for viewing mobile notifications within the first half of this year, reflecting opinions that the current authentication procedure is inconvenient.
Last year, the Ministry notified 3,346 sex offenders' personal information to 3.32 million households and 240,000 child and adolescent institutions. They checked whether sex offender photos were updated and took immediate action, linking the service with Naver Maps and the sex offender alert service.
