A man in his 30s has been booked for luring a visiting makeup artist to his home through the second-hand trading platform Daangn and sexually assaulting her.
The Seoul Gwanak Police Station announced today (the 19th) that it is investigating a man in his 30s, identified as A, on charges including rape.
On the 2nd, suspect A posted a listing on "Daangn Alba," Daangn's part-time job recruitment system, stating, "Looking for someone to provide on-site makeup for a profile photoshoot."
When victim B applied for the job and visited his home, A made unwanted physical contact.
Police investigations revealed that when B expressed her refusal, A proceeded to sexually assault her.
B managed to escape the house and reported the incident to the police, prompting the investigation.
Police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the incident involving A.
According to Daangn, the number of applications using Daangn Alba exceeded 50 million last year.
Amid this, a series of crimes exploiting Daangn Alba have recently occurred, raising the need for caution.
There have also been cases where job applicants gained access to clients' homes to attempt crimes.
In Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, last June, a man in his 30s was arrested by police after lying about doing a cleaning job to enter a woman's home and threatening her with a weapon.
Additionally, on the 5th in Nowon-gu, Seoul, a man in his 20s who was hired as a housekeeper was booked after being caught stealing valuables from a client's home.
