Seoul, South Korea – A 30-year-old man was arrested in Seoul on February 4th for allegedly breaking into his neighbors' homes and planting recording devices. The suspect, identified only as Mr. A, is accused of targeting four different households in his apartment building in the Sillim-dong neighborhood of Gwanak-gu.

Mr. A reportedly installed a camera near the front doors of his neighbors' apartments to learn their door lock combinations. He then entered their homes when they were away and planted the recording devices. Authorities say the recordings contained sexually explicit content.

Police sought an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of trespassing and violating the Protection of Communications Secrets Act, but the warrant was denied on February 6th due to "no risk of flight."

However, during a forensic examination of Mr. A's phone and computer, investigators discovered over 100 videos of women being filmed without their consent in public places. The investigation is ongoing, and police are considering additional charges related to the illegal filming and are reviewing whether to seek a new arrest warrant.

This case has sparked outrage and concern about privacy and safety in shared housing environments.
