Nth Room Case

The Nth Room Case is a digital sexual crime case that occurred in South Korea from 2018 to 2020 in which explicit content, obtained by threatening and coercing women to do certain activities, was spread or sold mainly through the use of the mobile app, Telegram. After gaining attention from the public, a massive outrage compelled the police into investigating and capturing the perpetrators behind the case.

Summary

The name “Nth Room” is derived from the titles of the multiple chatting rooms hosted on Telegram for the same purpose of online prostitution through the distribution of explicit content. The first rooms ranged from numbers 1 to 8 (i.e. 1st Room, 2nd Room, 3rd Room) and the variable ‘N’ served as a way to classify the group of rooms as a whole. Other rooms with titles that did not follow the numerical order instead represented either the room’s owner or the specific type of videos it was offering, with the most famous and notorious room being the Doctor’s Room.
