On the 20th the Hyehwa Police Station in Seoul arrested without detention 10 people, including 29-year old business owner Ms. Jang, on charges of having female employees don various uniforms and perform sexual acts.

According to police, Ms. Jang is accused of operating a “Kiss Room” (키스방), a prostitution business, from the beginning of this month in Jongro-gu and Jung-gu and abetting prostitution by charging men W70,000 per hour for sexual acts.

Investigators found that the so-called “fetish” business included “theme rooms”, made to look like classrooms, where the female employees donned uniforms chosen by customers, who would be caned by the women during the sex acts.

The business would only take customers via telephone appointment, and the women employees were recruited via part-time job sites on the internet, police said.

Police said, “this and other perverted prostitution businesses have been rapidly increasing recently, so we plan to strengthen enforcement efforts.”
