The owner of an underwear company was arrested on suspicion of forcing teenage female models to make lewd poses for the camera and posting their photos on a paid website, police said Friday.
The owner, surnamed Lim, is also suspected of having sex with runway teenage girls in exchange for offering them housing.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said Lim recruited four teenage girls as models for his company from April 2009 until recently.
The working contract they signed required them to be photographed in sexually suggestive poses. He posted their photos on a paid category of the company’s website and attempted to sell them to an adult website, police said.
Police have widened their investigation after finding 50 more such contracts at his home and in his car.
