The Korean operators of a prostitution website were busted for providing information and discounts to 210,000 members, reports said Wednesday.
Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency’s cyber crime investigation team said it had arrested a man surnamed Kim, 33, for operating the website, which offers discounts to those members who provided reviews, and shows advertisements for brothels. Two other personnel were booked without detention.
The gang led by Kim first started their business two years ago by opening up an office in Shandong, China, and diverting their servers to Japan, accumulating 800 million won worth of profit.
They have been receiving 100,000 won to 300,000 won for advertising or linking sex services to online users.
The investigation team said members proven to have used the site to buy sex would be punished.
