Korean Educational Sharing Platform Yubin Archive Shut Down After Operator's Arrest

Yubin Archive, a Telegram-based platform in South Korea aiming to eliminate educational inequality, provided access to educational materials like textbooks, workbooks, and video lectures. Boasting over 330,000 members, its popularity quickly led to the arrest of its operator for copyright infringement. While Yubin Archive claimed to help underprivileged students, investigations revealed a paid "minority channel," raising questions about its motives. The Ministry of Culture and Sports vowed to continue cracking down on copyright infringement to protect creators' rights.
