A memorial service is now being held in downtown Seoul to commemorate a 20-year-old station worker who died at a subway station where he suffered from stalking.

[Seung Jae-hyun / Research Fellow, Korea Institute of Criminal Justice Policy: Since deprivation of liberty alone does not correct the tendency of stalkers, it is necessary to supplement various systems that can provide treatment during the provisional induction period for one month.]
Experts say that victims-centered stalking crimes should be recognized and the system should be improved based on this. I asked again and again.
