Woman Sexually Assaulted After Responding to 'Danggeun Alba' Job Posting

A man in his 30s has been booked for luring a visiting makeup artist to his home through the second-hand trading platform Danggeun and sexually assaulting her.

The Seoul Gwanak Police Station announced today (the 19th) that it is investigating the man, in his 30s, referred to as A, on charges including rape.

On the 2nd, A posted a listing on "Danggeun Alba," Danggeun's part-time job recruitment system, stating, "Looking for someone to provide on-site makeup services for a profile photoshoot."

When B, who applied for the job, visited his home, A made unilateral physical contact.

According to the investigation, A proceeded to sexually assault B after she expressed her refusal.

B managed to escape the house and reported the incident to the police, initiating the investigation.

Police are currently investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the incident involving A.

According to Danggeun, the number of applications using Danggeun Alba surpassed 50 million last year.

Amid this, a series of crimes exploiting Danggeun Alba have recently occurred, raising safety concerns.

There have also been cases where job applicants gained access to clients' homes to commit crimes.

In Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, in June, a man in his 30s was apprehended by police after tricking his way into a woman's home under the pretext of cleaning part-time and threatening her with a weapon.

On the 5th, in Nowon-gu, Seoul, a man in his 20s who requested housekeeping services was booked after being caught stealing valuables from the client's home.
