I uploaded a photo showing my underwear
I Photo booth ‘exposure four cuts’ controversy
I have concerns about sexual abuse…
[TV리포트=한하율 기자] It has been reported that TWICE member Chaeyoung and singer Jeon So-mi released and then deleted photos showing their underwear taken in an unmanned photo booth.
On the 3rd, Chaeyoung posted a photo taken with Jeon So-mi on her Instagram and wrote, “It’s been almost 11 years since our April Fool’s Day date… ” was posted along with the message.
There were several photos that were uploaded, showing two people wearing wigs and posing in an unmanned photo booth. However, netizens were surprised because one photo showed her exposing her underwear.
Chaeyoung deleted the photo about 20 minutes after posting it, but the photo has already spread to various places online, causing a stir.
The photo is believed to be Chaeyoung and Jeon So-mi’s April Fool’s Day prank and event, but the reactions of netizens who saw the photo were cold.
Netizens who saw the underwear exposure photos taken in the photo booth said, “It was wrong to take the photos. Critical public opinion such as “Why would they do that at someone else’s business?”, “Business owners even asked me not to do it on the news, but I have no concept of it”, and “It’s amazing that the class proudly takes pictures of things like that and proudly posts them again” was the dominant opinion.
In fact, the issue of taking obscene photos in photo booths became a hot topic last year. According to a post posted on an online community under the title ‘Four shocking snapshots of life,’ it was reported that lewd acts frequently occur in photo booths, which are public places.
Some couples reveal their underwear while taking pictures, or leave pictures of themselves touching themselves with their underwear exposed. It is shocking to learn that this problem not only affects couples but also individuals.
Even when individuals take pictures, sometimes they only wear underwear to reveal their body lines, or they take off their underwear completely and take naked pictures. There has been a steady stream of situations where some photo booth users do not stop taking pictures but instead post them on social media and the posts become more popular.
The problem of obscene behavior in photo booths has now become one of the social problems. Due to the nature of the photo booth, it is operated unmanned and covered with a tent, so it is assumed that lewd acts are possible. Store owners who directly operate photo booths said that they frequently receive complaints from other customers who encounter lewd acts.
Last February, a story about being mistaken for a sex offender after visiting a photo booth was posted on the college student online community ‘Everytime’, making it a hot topic.
The author said, “I was playing with my friends and visited a photo booth, but I went in without knowing there were people inside. She told an anecdote, saying, “But there was a woman exposing her breasts and taking pictures of her.” The author apologized to the woman, took pictures with her friends, and returned home, but a few days later, the police came to her house and revealed that she had been reported for a sexual crime.
When this anecdote was revealed, netizens responded with things like, ‘Jeokbanhajangdo is Yoo Boon-su’ and ‘That woman should be punished for public indecency.’
However, according to legal officials, the woman cannot be punished for public indecency. This is because under the current law, it is difficult to present evidence that this woman ‘committed an obscene act in public.’
Meanwhile, concerns are also being raised about Jeon So-mi and Chaeyoung, who became a hot topic with their revealing photos on social media. This is because since the word ‘exposure’ has come to be used as a modifier, synthetic deepfake videos or photos can be created online.
In addition, given that they are celebrities who have a great influence on young students, it is pointed out that there is a high possibility that teenagers will imitate their appearances and it will spread like a trend.
