A Phone with a Camera On in the Bathroom Suddenly 'Clicked'... "It Felt Like the World Was Collapsing"
Whistleblower's Body Part Captured
Police Investigation Underway
Amid controversy over a post by a woman claiming she was illegally filmed at a pub near Gwangalli Beach in Busan, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 30th that they are investigating the incident.
Earlier, a post related to this matter was uploaded on the online community 'Bobaedream' on the 28th of last month.
The author, Ms. A, began by saying, "On October 23rd, around 8 p.m., I visited a pub located on Gwangalli Beach with a friend."
She said, "I went to the restroom inside the establishment about 3 to 4 times," and "The last time I went, as I sat on the toilet, something fell. When I looked back, there was an iPhone with the camera video on."
Ms. A then immediately left the pub with her friend. She said, "A man was caught on video installing the camera," and "While checking the video, the restroom door opened, so I immediately put my phone in my pocket and left the pub with my friend as if nothing had happened. My friend reported it to the police."
Ms. A reportedly saw the video showing parts of her body at the police substation. She said, "It felt like the world was collapsing. If I had been drunk and didn’t see this phone or thought it belonged to someone else and handed it over to the pub staff, the video could have spread at any time. I left the police station after crying silently without saying a word."
Ms. A suspects that the dropped phone belongs to a pub staff member, as there were no other customers from the time she arrived until she left.
She said, "(Despite being a victim of illegal filming) the pub even sent me their bank account number asking me to pay for the drinks," adding, "It makes my blood boil to see them running the pub so nonchalantly without any remorse."
She continued, "Even as I write this, I keep thinking about that incident, and it’s very painful," but added, "I wrote this hoping no one else will suffer the same way. I pray that this criminal lives in hell," concluding her post.
