Maybe there’s one of you too,” said Ha Yena, the founder of Digital Sexual Crime Out (DSO), an organization that aims to eradicate sexual crimes online. “There are so many hidden camera footages out there. It is one of the countless hidden camera videos taken in South Korea and posted on illicit porn sites. This video circulates online, spread by anonymous users. She checks her makeup and walks out, oblivious to the fact that a hidden camera has just captured the entire proceeding. It takes about two minutes for her to finish her business and flush the toilet. She turns around, raises her black leather skirt, pulls down her underwear, then squats. Two seconds in, a young woman with a bob walks in, wearing brown leather platform boots. Roll camera: a gleaming white basin inside a cubicle, an amber-tinted tile floor. ![]()
