As fears over deepfake-related crimes continue to spread, the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 26th that it will issue a special advisory regarding deepfake and other sexual crimes.

Recently, anxiety among parents has been increasing as lists of deepfake victims, including middle and high school students and university students nationwide, have been posted on social networking services.

To prevent digital sexual crimes, the Daejeon Office of Education plans to operate a special education week focusing on deepfake and other sexual crimes from the 26th to September 6th.

Through the office and school websites, as well as newsletters sent to families, the office will provide prevention and special education for students and school administrators. They have also guided schools to conduct emergency training on how to respond to digital sexual crimes by offering on-site gender sensitivity education.

An official from the Daejeon Office of Education stated, "We will make every effort to prevent the spread of similar cases and raise awareness about these crimes so that both students and staff can enjoy a healthy, safe, and happy school environment."
