The recent incident of Room N has made the world angry.
One out of every 100 Korean men is onlookers and even commits a crime
In December 2018, a Telegram user created 8 chat rooms under the name “갓갓 (God God) “. The person searched for bad teens on social media, including Twitter, and pretended to be exposed by police to threaten them, threatening them with private videos.
After getting the video, “갓갓” will preview it to chat room 1. If you want to continue watching the video, you have to pay. After receiving the fee, “갓갓” sends it a video link to room 2. ; After entering room 2, the user will see the third video preview again … From room 1 to room 8, the larger the number, the more content you can see, this is the origin of “room N”.
In February 2019, “갓갓” was gone, but the “House N” model he created remained, first taken over by “watchman” and then transferred to “Doctor”.
The third operator, “Doctor”, designed a more complete profit model based on the video of sexual exploitation in house N. He targeted women with poor economic conditions, posted phishing links such as part-time job postings on the Internet, deceived female users’ private information, and forced them to become “slaves” in room N.
A victim gave a telephone interview with CBS. In 2018, she was still a junior high school student, and her living expenses were seriously inadequate. She entered the trap of room N while looking for a part-time job.
The other party proves that she has strong financial resources and gains the trust of the victims by using stocks on her hand and scheduled remittances, and then gradually obtains her name, account, phone address and other information for reasons such as remittances and mobile phone gifts.
Require body photos first, then show your face, threaten with identity information, step by step to force the victim to fall into a more terrible abyss, shoot more than 40 videos, and be tortured with severe depression.
She does n’t believe that there are only 74 victims, and she has heard that there are 10-year-old victims. “I personally think there will be more minors than adults because of similar conditions to meet software or Twitter accounts, almost Most users are students. “
Self-harm, rape, eating feces, lettering on the body … These forced videos or photos were divided into three or six or nine according to the degree of “Doctor” and distributed to chat rooms with different charging levels. Fees range from 200,000 won to 1.5 million won.
As for the victim ’s name, age, address, school or occupation, this private information is used as a bait and a gift to attract buyers. They even developed this behavior from online to offline, forcing victims to meet, torture, and broadcast the whole process in a chat room.

Last year, news about “House N” appeared on a few sporadic Korean media, but it was not until March this year that the case finally caught the attention of Korean society.
More than 4.3 million people have petitioned on the Qingwatai website, requesting to disclose the identity information of all members, which is the highest in the history of Qingwatai national petitions.
SBS reporter asked the victim in a telephone interview: “What punishment do you think they should be punished for?” The girl said, “I hope that I will rot in jail for a lifetime, anyway, there is no guarantee that he will reflect upon coming out.”
South Korean President Moon Jae-in ordered a full investigation into the incident, removing the video and providing the victim with all necessary assistance.
Korean artists such as Bian Boxian, Li Huili, Sun Xiuxian, Bai Yixuan, He Yanxiu, and Wen Jiaxuan also spoke out. “Please answer 1988” heroine, Girl’s Day member Hyeri petitioned to disclose criminal information, and wrote: “Beyond anger, even more horrified.”
Doctors who rule the devil’s room
March 16, including “BoFourteen people involved in the case were arrested. The doctor’s 130 million won (about 750,000 yuan) cash was also seized by the police.
Following public anger and a large number of petitions, the South Korean police for the first time cited the “Special Law on Sexual Violence Penalties and Related Exceptions” and disclosed the information of the suspect “Doctor”.
According to the Korean SBS report, the real name of the “Doctor” is Zhao Zhubin. (Transliteration) , 25 years old, with a quiet personality, a passion for Go, excellent grades, and benevolence. Senior student of the Department of Information and Communication, Netherlands Polytechnic University. During college, he maintained a grade point of 4.0 or higher (out of 4.5) , he has won scholarships many times, and also served as a reporter and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper.
A reporter visited the school he attended and interviewed old classmates. Some people reported that “except for the content of the school newspaper article and the dispute between the professor and his classmates, he never found out which sexual assault incident was related”. Others pointed out, “He is the kind of quiet ordinary person.”
Police confirmed that shortly after graduation in 2018, Zhao Zhubin began using Telegram to commit crimes. At first, he made false advertisements, pretending to sell drugs to cheat money. Last September, he took over Watchman’s class and opened the “Doctor’s Room”, which became the third generation of these demonic rooms.
Telegram is an instant messaging software. Users can send photos and videos to each other. Messages can also be encrypted or self-destructed. The chat content will not leave traces, plus the platform server is abroad, a platform with strong user privacy protection effect indirectly supports a criminal umbrella.
God God, founder of Room N, is said to be a “high school student under pressure”. He pretended to be a police officer and called underage victims, threatening them to take nude photos and obey orders. After God God disappeared in February 2019, it was replaced by Watchman and his “gotham” who cultivated bad deeds.
The Ph.D. is more cunning than the first two. He used the false advertisements of “high-paying posts” to attract “slaves” and engraved the words “I am a slave” and “Doctor” on them with a knife. He recorded and uploaded these videos as easy as watermarking his work.
He also asked users to pay in the form of bitcoin, which made tracking more difficult. In addition, it is not enough to pay only. Users still need to type out sexual insults and upload videos of sexual assault in person. They must all become accomplices to maintain the security of the room.
The “acquaintance information room” in the “Doctor’s Room” are all users who turn their girlfriends and sisters into video materials in order to watch more videos.
After completing these designs, Zhao Zhubin described himself as “a star shining in Telegram”.
The Korean SBS News also found that Jiang, a member of the “Doctor’s House”, had previously been arrested for threatening a woman in her 30s, and was released from prison last March.
After being released from prison, Jiang continued to entrust Zhao Zhubin with revenge to report this woman at the end of 2019. He paid 4 million won to Zhao in the form of hired killings, and Zhao planned a plan to kill the female daughter in a kindergarten.
