- Abstract
The youth prostitution using mobile chatting applications is a serious issue in South Korea. However, it is difficult to learn and prevent situations due to a lack of understanding of the current phenomenon. Even though there have been a few efforts to prevent crimes by lawmaking, it is difficult to change the current problems without understanding the actual situations. To understanding the crime, knowing how people engage youth prostitution and what they use to gain information about youth prostitution are essential. In this study, we researched to find out the keywords used in searching the applications for youth prostitution. Using these keywords, we found that a total of 4,063 mobile chatting applications is linked to youth prostitution. The study analyzed these applications thoroughly to understand the characteristics of these applications and users. Lastly, we proposed prevention strategies based on our research.
