Major foreign media also showed great interest in the ruling when Jo Joo-bin (24), a 24-year-old ‘medical’ operator, accused of producing and distributing sexual exploitation of minors, was sentenced to 40 years in prison in the first trial.
Foreign media pointed to the cause of the doctoral room incident, saying that Korean society in general does not respect women and is tolerant of sexual crimes.
The US CNN broadcast on the 26th (local time) cited the problem of misogyny in Korean society as the main cause of the PhD room incident in an article titled ’40 Years in Prison for an Operator of Korea’s online sexual exploitation hall. ‘
CNN said: “In 2018, tens of thousands of women took to the streets and condemned the illegal shooting at motels and public toilets. In 2019, the Korean police revealed that there was an online chat room where pornography was shared and suspected of famous K-pop stars. I even pointed it out to him, “he said.

The Washington Post (WP) of the United States also analyzed that in an article titled ’40 Years in Prison for a Korean Sex Room Operator Who Threatened Dozens of Women ‘, “the Dr. Sabang incident occurred because Korean society he did not respect women enough. “
The Task Force noted that South Korea’s punishment standards for digital sex crimes are weak, sex offenders are often only subject to mild punishments, and support measures for victims of sexual exploitation are insufficient.
The BBC criticized Jo Joo-bin for being a light punishment for 40 years in prison.
The BBC said: “Cho Joo-bin was sentenced to 40 years in prison, but the prosecution requested life in prison,” the BBC said. “The accomplices were sentenced to much lighter sentences (than Jo Ju-bin).”
The BBC also diagnosed that “there is still concern that victims of sex crimes are not getting the help they need” and that “the anger will not end here.”
In addition, major telecommunications companies, such as Reuters, AP and AFP, showed interest in transmitting Jo Ju-bin’s sentence for the first trial without delay.
