More than 1,500 hotel guests in South Korea were found to be unwitting performers for a community of online voyeurs in rooms carefully rigged with tiny cameras hidden in everyday objects.

 

Police arrested two men suspected of hooking up 42 rooms in 30 hotels to an online community of 4,099 members, 97 of whom paid for the streaming service, according to local media.

 

Two other men, thought to have helped by installing the cameras, are also being investigated.

 

The suspects netted 7 million won (£4,700) from broadcasting the private lives of guests using innocuous household objects, such as hairdryers and TV sets, with tiny cameras installed, police said.

Entertainment news? LOL

 

I doubt that anyone would have paid £4,700 to watch me in one of those rooms.

That was net income from 97 who paid, or about $60 each.

Don't think I'd pay anything to watch a hidden camera video of woman drying her hair or a family watching TV. Funny people, these Koreans.
