Videos secretly filmed showing scenes of sexual harassment and assault across Asia?including South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong?were uploaded to a Chinese-language site called 'Dingbuzhu' (meaning "Can't Take It Anymore" in Chinese).

The British BBC investigative team reported on the 8th (local time) the results of tracking individuals who produce, distribute, and sell sexual crime videos over the course of a year. The main culprit was known as 'Chi Ajusshi (Uncle Chi)'. BBC identified three illegal websites, including Dingbuzhu, 'Chihan', and 'Jieshe', which uploaded and sold over 1,000 sexual crime videos.
BBC first focused on Dingbuzhu. The rape videos posted on this site were sold for less than 1 dollar (about 1,300 won). It also advertised that customized sexual violence videos could be produced upon customer request.
Dingbuzhu was linked to two other websites, ‘Chihan’ and ‘Jieshe’. They sold similar content, but a video producer’s name repeatedly appeared on these sites, standing out prominently. That was 'Chi Ajusshi'.
They had set up a chat room on Telegram where tips on committing sexual violence against women were shared, with membership reaching 4,000 people.
BBC contacted Noctis Jang (30), a singer born in China and currently residing in Tokyo, Japan.

As a video supplier, he is active as a metal band singer and, along with fellow band member Rufus Poo, was responsible for supplying videos. He revealed, "I uploaded more than 5,000 videos to the site, keeping 30% of the sales revenue, and sent the remaining 70% to Maomi."
They discovered that behind all this was Chi Ajusshi, also known as 'Maomi' (meaning 'cat' in Chinese). He was a Chinese man living in Tokyo. In South Korea terms, he played the role of the video producer similar to 'Doctor' Jo Joo-bin in the Nth Room case.
When BBC posed as an investor and met 'Chi Ajusshi' (Maomi), he boasted, “The site’s daily sales are 100,000 to 200,000 yen (about 930,000 to 1,860,000 won), and the income is stable.”

They also found out that 'Chi Ajusshi' led a team of 15 people. Ten of them operated in China, collecting videos produced by 'Chi Ajusshi' and selling them on three websites owned by Maomi, the leader.
Among the paid members registered on these sites, about 10,000 were mostly Chinese men. The videos sold included not only sexual harassment occurring openly in everyday places but also content involving deliberately drugging women and sexually abusing them.
'Chi Ajusshi' (Maomi) stated, “I train my subordinates by teaching them the techniques of raping and filming women.”
According to BBC, when the reporters revealed their identity and requested further interviews, he assaulted the cameraman and fled. It is known that he subsequently left Japan.
His social media accounts remain active. When the media inquired about the matter on these accounts, they did not receive clear answers.
