"Your Girlfriend is a Public Good": Personal Info Sharing to Deepfake Fabrication... 'Unanswered Questions' Tracks Reality of Telegram 'Yeogongbang' Room

SBS's "Unanswered Questions" tracks the reality of "Yeogongbang," a new type of secret Telegram chat room where personal information of girlfriends is leaked and illegal deepfake composite materials are produced and shared.

Airs at 8:50 p.m. tonight, the SBS program "Unanswered Questions" will reveal the shocking story of Min-ah (a pseudonym), who received a tip that the boyfriend she had promised to marry was active in a "acquaintance humiliation room" known as "Yeogongbang."

"Yeogongbang" is a secret chat room that users can only enter by providing personal information such as their girlfriend's home address and social media ID, and verifying that they are in a relationship. Within this space, sex crimes were even being committed, producing illegal deepfake composites using girlfriends' photos. Min-ah also confirmed that her personal information and illegal composites were distributed in the chat room and filed a complaint against her boyfriend.

However, the tragedy did not end there. Anonymous ghost accounts persistently continued their harassment by distributing illegal composites not only to Min-ah, but even to the acquaintances of another victim, Bit-na (a pseudonym). As the number of victims increased to three and they suffered for about a year, the identity of the culprit apprehended by the police shocked everyone.

The identity of the culprit who shook the lives of the victims to the core behind the shadow of anonymity and the true nature of "Yeogongbang" will be revealed on "Unanswered Questions," airing tonight, Friday, at 8:50 p.m.
