The police officers belonging to the Dongdaemun Police Station in Seoul are criticized for allegedly leaking information on crackdowns on prostitution.

Women's groups, such as the anti-trade rights act 'Iroom', held a press conference in front of the Dongdaemun Police Station today (15th) and demanded punishment and prevention of recurrence.

They alleged that "the allegations were raised that police officers who crack down on prostitution had run a group chat room to share crackdown information with the owners of the crackdown."

He emphasized, "How can we trust the police and entrust prostitution investigations in this situation?" He added, "Please take steps to counter the alleged police officers and reduce the sex industry."
Prior to this suspicion, police officer A of the Dongdaemun Police Station was arrested by the prosecution on charges of stealing secrets from officials, such as providing information on crackdowns to sex traders while conducting crackdowns from the last year to the beginning of this year. Prosecutors believe that some of Lt. A's subordinates were also involved in the crimes, and they are also investigating the incident.
