One meal a day was provided by the owner to employee A, who had been imprisoned for over a year in a room of about 2 pyeong.
She even gave them what they ate, and even gave them dog food instead of food for about two months.
[Mr A/Victim woman: They give you the leftover rice and side dishes.
I ate half a bag of dog food.
I can't not eat.
It's rice.]
He said that he lost his weight from over 50kg to 30kg because he couldn't eat properly.
The business owners also threatened women by filming sexual exploitation videos on their mobile phones.
[Mr A/Victim woman: I want your parents to see this by filming (video) like this (threating….)]
3 out of 5 female victims had their cell phones taken away by the suspects and were deprived of their privacy and were imprisoned.
Victims' thoughts are complex, from all kinds of assaults, harsh acts, confinement, and human rights violations.
[Victim woman A: I am afraid that the business owners will come back.
I wish I never got out of jail for the rest of my life, really.]
The women managed to escape the hellish lives of their owners when the store closed, but they still suffer from severe trauma, including anxiety and sleep disturbances.
