Just wanted to say that the largest dark web child porn marketplace was run by a 23 year old South Korean man. Well he wasn't a man, even the word monster is an understatement.
The site was run from South Korea and had nearly eight terabytes of content involving child abuse - enough to store hundreds or even thousands of hours of video footage. The site had more than 200,000 videos which had collectively been downloaded more than a million times. And here's something I was not expecting. A majority of the users were in their 20s. Wanna know who else is in their 20s? Yoo-Ngi and Taeh-Yung
When we think of child abusers, we usually picture really old men. But young people in their 20s? This planet has a lot of sick people.
Around July 2020 I think, the Seoul High Court received a request from the US to extradite (deport/hand-over) the person who ran this website from SK to the US. But the Court rejected it which sparked a lot of outrage from certain members of the public, including human rights activists and prominent prosecutors.
Also a lot of South Korean men tend to visit South East Asian countries for the purpose of sex tourism, a handful of them are pedophiles. They don't really have a decent record as tourists.
The Trafficking in Persons Report of 2019 reports that the men of South Korea engage in child sex tourism in Cambodia, China, Mongolia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Technology such as the internet has helped increase accessibility of child sex tourism in the Republic of Korea. Some South Korean men arrange for children from the Philippines, Thailand, and China as sources of sex. A Korean Institute of Criminology study published in January 2013 shows that South Korean men are the primary market for child sex tourism in Southeast Asia. "Among foreigners visiting Southeast Asia, South Koreans are the majority group driving demand for child prostitution across the region."
In conclusion, TH and YG being pedos in real life is a big possibility and if it is really true, I wouldn't be surprised. More importantly don't let kpop and kdramas fool you about the reality in South Korea. After what happened to Jang Ja Yeon, I'm surprised that people still support and stream kdramas. But that's out of my hands.
Prosecutors say the vast online store was run by Jong Woo Son, currently serving a prison sentence in South Korea on charges related to child pornography.
