2025-04-27

South Korea is facing a surge in AI-generated revenge porn, with victims ranging from students and teachers to ordinary citizens. Deepfake technology allows perpetrators to create realistic nude images using victims' photos from social media, spreading them on platforms like Telegram. While new laws increase penalties, enforcement struggles, leaving many victims to investigate themselves. The stories of Ruma and Kim highlight the devastating impact and the urgent need for stronger law enforcement and platform accountability. The low arrest rate despite increased penalties underscores the challenges in combating this sophisticated form of online abuse.
