A new illegal filming website described as “worse than the Nth Room” has been uncovered, raising alarm over the resurgence of large-scale digital sex crimes in South Korea.
In an exclusive report, JTBC revealed the existence of a massive illicit platform that shares non-consensual explicit videos, many allegedly filmed by husbands or boyfriends. The site reportedly hosts videos titled with phrases such as “First time revealing my wife” and “My ex-girlfriend of seven years,” openly distributing intimate footage of women without consent.
As of today, the site is said to have over 540,000 members and more than 600,000 posts, making it comparable in scale to notorious past platforms like Soranet and the Nth Room. Users can access shocking content simply by signing up, while more extreme material is locked behind a paid point system.
According to the investigation, users earn points by uploading videos, writing posts, or leaving degrading comments. These points are then used to unlock paid content. Reporters observed comment sections filled with explicit, dehumanizing remarks—what JTBC described as “incestuous and humiliating commentary.”
The most disturbing area of the site is a section labeled “Unreleased New Content.” This board functions as a hub where users preview, request, and distribute newly filmed illegal videos. The site appears to glorify and emulate the so-called Yoon Drozzer incident, referencing a man who sold footage of over 100 women in 2021 before releasing all remaining videos and taking his own life when investigations closed in.
A whistleblower told JTBC that the site first appeared around mid-2022 and has since grown rapidly. Payment records linked to the site show at least 8,227 confirmed paid transactions, primarily using cryptocurrencies that are difficult to trace. Even assuming only the minimum recharge amount of ₩30,000 KRW per transaction, the operators are estimated to have earned at least ₩40 billion KRW (approximately tens of millions of USD).
The site is also reportedly linked to illegal gambling advertisements, suggesting that actual profits may be significantly higher.
Even more alarming are allegations that child sexual exploitation materials are being circulated. The whistleblower stated that some videos feature individuals who are “clearly minors by reasonable judgment,” even if their exact ages are not explicitly stated.
Despite the gravity of these crimes, members openly share methods for evading police investigations and mock law enforcement efforts within the forums.
JTBC emphasized that this case highlights serious gaps in enforcement and monitoring, as digital sex crimes continue to evolve into more organized, profit-driven systems. Authorities are now under mounting pressure to act swiftly, as public outrage grows over what many fear could become “another Nth Room tragedy on an even larger scale.”
The investigation continues.
