Democratic Peace Council's Work Computer Filled with 'Yadong'

Shocking Cases of 'Molka', 'Ganggan', and 'Dochwal'

Titles of illegal obscene files contained in the USB submitted by the Democratic Peaceful Unification Advisory Council to the office of Kim Young-joo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea

The National Unification Advisory Council (Democratic Peaceful Unification Advisory Council, Minjupyeonghwa Tongil Jaemunhoe), a presidential advisory body on unification, was found to have illegally stored a large number of obscene files on its work computers.

According to the office of Kim Young-joo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 8th, among the files submitted by Minjupyeonghwa Tongil to the National Assembly, there were numerous files completely unrelated to official duties.

Minjupyeonghwa Tongil submitted about 20,000 pages of materials to Kim’s office, and among the data transferred from the council’s work computers to authorized USB devices, files unrelated to work such as music, movies, and games were confirmed to have been transferred.

Moreover, 13 cases of illegal obscene materials with difficult titles such as 'molka' (hidden camera), 'gang rape', 'dochal' (secret filming), and 'yadong' (pornography) were also found to have been transferred. Kim pointed out, "It is a very serious issue that not just one but 13 illegal obscene files were found on computers used by public officials for work."

Public institutions like Minjupyeonghwa Tongil separate internet networks and work networks for security. The internet network allows internet access, but the system deletes all files when the computer is turned off.

Therefore, Minjupyeonghwa Tongil employees use USB devices to transfer files downloaded from the internet network to work network computers.

It is presumed that illegal files were downloaded on the internet network with internet access and then transferred to the work network.

Kim said, "It is a very serious problem that public officials distributed illegal files to work computers at their workplace, and since illegal files mostly contain malicious code, there is a high risk of security issues such as hacking and virus infections." He added, "I hope efforts will be made to strengthen public service discipline so that the image of government agencies is not tarnished."

Lee Seung-hwan, Secretary General of Minjupyeonghwa Tongil, bowed his head and said, "I am deeply sorry."

Kim recently referred to the 'Doctor’s Room' case and recommended, "Discipline the employee who transferred the files according to the law," and Lee responded, "We will do so. We will take thorough security measures."
