A parents' association held a press conference at the Government Complex Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on September 4, calling for the eradication of deepfake sex crimes and the implementation of comprehensive measures to address the issue. Following this, a parliamentary subcommittee passed a bill aimed at imposing stricter penalties on digital sex crimes involving deepfake technologies targeting children and teenagers. The National Assembly's gender equality and family committee made a bipartisan decision during a legislative review session to revise the act on protecting children from sex crimes, proposing a minimum of three years imprisonment for blackmailing young individuals with sexually abusive materials and five years for coercion using such materials. Additionally, the subcommittee approved revisions to the sexual violence prevention act, emphasizing the government's increased responsibility in supporting victims of such crimes. The decision to strengthen laws against deepfake porn videos exploiting young women's images in group chat rooms was made in response to a growing number of cases in South Korea. Both ruling and opposition parties have united to address public concerns regarding the rise in deepfake incidents, with plans to pass these legislative changes during the current session. The education ministry reported a total of 434 deepfake-related cases involving underage students and teachers in schools this year.
