Actor Kang Ji-hwan reported that the reason why victims of sexual violence were not able to report 112 was because of the emergency call system.

KBS explained yesterday (20th) that women who suffered sexual violence from Kang Ji-hwan called 112 on several occasions but did not make the call because there was a blind spot in the network.

Emergency calls are designed to be connected to unauthorized or unauthorized devices. If there is a concern, you should be able to catch the service provider's signal and connect.

At the time of the incident, Kang Ji-hwan's house surrounded by mountains was equipped with only SK Telecom repeaters and victims were using KT's mobile phone. The KT signal was weak and not caught in the house, but if the emergency call system worked normally, the signal had to be switched to a strong third party network. The emergency call diversion system did not work, however, the media reported because of problems with the telecommunications standards.

The government has begun checking the emergency call system. An official of the Ministry of Science and ICT said, “We are considering various ways to use other telecommunications networks when the signal of the subscribers is weak (emergency).
