- A young man in his 20s rounded up offenders who were secretly filming women’s bodies

 

 

 

POSCO TJ Park Foundation (Chairman Sunuk Kim) selected Gu-hyun Kim, who sacrificed himself for social justice, as ‘POSCO Heroes’ and rewarded fellowship certificate and scholarship.

 

Gu-hyun Kim witnessed a man secretly filming inside the skirt of a woman getting on a bus at the bus stop located in Sangdang-gu, Cheongju on June 29, and got on the bus with the determination to catch the offender.  He subdued the offender despite heated resistance and handed him over to the police.

Kim also caught an offender who secretly filmed a woman’s body through a hole made on a shopping back a week earlier on the 22nd. 

Based on investigation, the offender was a wanted criminal with an arrest warrant issued.

 

POSCO TJ Park Foundation’s staff stated that they “selected Gu-hyun Kim to honor his courage and sacrifice to catch the criminal despite getting injured at the time when digital sex crime against women is rising as a social issue.”
