In hidden corners across South Korea, tiny cameras are surreptitiously recording thousands of women when they are at their most vulnerable. In Seoul, the capital, the proliferation of such hidden cameras — and the images they record, which often end up on pornographic websites — has often been described by reporters as an epidemic. The city announced a crackdown on Sunday, increasing the number of municipal employees assigned to search public bathrooms for hidden cameras to 8, in October from the 50 currently at work. The city has promised to inspect every one of its 20, public restrooms daily, an enormous undertaking that underscores the scope of the problem. More than 30, cases of surreptitious filming have been reported nationally since , according to police statistics. Beginning next month, workers will check more than 20, public restrooms, in subways, parks, community centers, public gyms and underground commercial arcades. Many women avoid going to public toilets alone, especially at night. Choi said it was more important that the authorities find and punish the perpetrators than simply remove the cameras. Currently, most toilets are inspected only once a month, and government inspectors have not discovered a single recording device in the past two years.

Offenders can also turn to an array of seemingly everyday items — including pens, watches and shoes — equipped with spycams. At present, the Seoul government checks each toilet about once a month, and employs only 50 inspectors to monitor more than 20, public bathrooms, according to news agency Yonhap. The new plan will call for the 8, city workers who maintain and clean the bathrooms to conduct daily checks. Government inspectors have failed to find any cameras in the past two years. But experts and activists have criticised sweeps of public bathrooms, saying they were little more than a show and most cameras were installed in homes and offices. They have also chided the government for failing to adequately punish perpetrators who share secretly filmed footage. There have also been charges of sexism in the justice system, with two recent high-profiles cases targeting female perpetrators.
The South Korean capital, Seoul, has pledged to carry out daily checks in all public toilets for hidden cameras.
