View this post on Instagram오랜만에 제자? 화니에게서 연락이 왔다. N 번방 운영자의 것으로 추정되는 인스타그램 계정이 나를 팔로잉하고 있으니 얼른 차단하라고. 들어가봤더니 진짜였다. 바로 차단했지만 찜찜한 기분은 쉽게 가시질 않네 . N번방 뉴스를 처음 접했을 영화 시나리오나 무슨 도시 괴담 같은 건 줄 알았다. 피해 내용은 물론이고, 그 방에 26만명이ㅡ26명도 아니고ㅡ "회원가입" 을 했다는 거. 그리고 어제 그 "박사"의 얼굴이 공개됐을 때, 적어도 그 사진만 봐서는 그 어떠한 악의도 찾아볼 수 없었다는 것. 낮에는 봉사활동도 했단다. 무슨 B급 호러 영화 시놉시스 같다. . 나는 그 사람이 나를 팔로잉하고 있었다는 것만으로도 소름 끼치고 미치도록 싫은데 직접적인 피해를 입은 어린 소녀들은 어떨까. 피의자들은 당연히 벌을 받아야겠지만 피해자들의 트라우마와 상처들은 어떻게 치유할 수 있을까. 진짜 세상이 왜 이런지. 참... #n번방_본사람도_가해자 #n번방_수익을_피해여성들_재활비용으로 A post shared by 신아영 (@ayoungshinn) on Mar 23, 2020 at 9:31pm PDT
Shin Ah Young shared:
"After a prolonged time I got a call from a my student. She told me that I am being followed by such an account which seems to belong to the offender behind Nth Room, and instructed me to block it promptly. She was correct when I went over to my followers list. I instantly blocked it, but I still feel anxious about it.
When I first saw the Nth Room reports I thought it was a documentary or some such. The information of what occurred to the victims, and hence the fact that 260,000 individuals contributed to the group. And then when the face behind' Baksa' was shown, I never saw any evil alone on the photo. Apparently he spent the day volunteering. It's almost like some form of horror movie script.
Just the fact that I was tracked by a person like that on Instagram gives me the shivers, and I can't really imagine how it could have been for the girls he'd actually hurt. The offenders must be punished but what about the hurt suffered by the survivors? Who is going to treat the pain and psychological damage? I could not even believe this reality."
It has lately been disclosed that a person named Cho Joo Bin was among the "Nth Room"'s leading operators, whereby young girls were raped and abused and filmed for numerous Telegram chatroom participants.
Cho Joo Bin is reportedly undergoing criminal investigation whereas the rest of the nation is engaging in the national petition pushing for the exposure of all individuals connected to the case.
Other K-pop stars including MOMOLAND's former member Yeonwoo, Yeweon of JEWELRY, Ga In of Browned Eyed Girls, actresses Lee Yu Bi, and Lee Da In were all followed on their Instagram accounts by the perpetrator.
Such famous celebrities like Kim Ha Young decided to express her frustration to Joo Bin and said "It's terrifying how well these devils around us are creeping from a distance carrying their ordinary faces throughout the community. I hope you'll be able to be heavily prosecuted by the law. You should not have done that as a human being."
Yeonwoo, a member of MOMOLAND also specifically told her fans that she had already blocked the suspect's account after being alerted by her fans that the key male suspect behind the "Nth Room" scandal was following her.
