Following the March 14 assassination of a young woman in her twenties in South Korea, who was stabbed by a man harassing her, the progressive daily newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun urged authorities to take immediate action to better protect victims of stalking. The paper called for "real-time and advance notification" to be provided to victims when a stalker approaches them. This appeal seems to have influenced the government, which officially launched an application on June 24 designed to help victims track the movements of their stalkers when they get too close. The app has recently drawn attention from The Guardian, a British newspaper, which reported that the number of stalking cases in South Korea has tripled in recent years. According to the report, 80 percent of those affected are women. Stalking, defined as the obsessive monitoring or tracking of a person, has become a growing concern in the country. The Guardian spoke to individuals at a center in South Korea where the app is being used, and one person described the experience as relentless: "You cannot stop for a minute, not even a second," they said. Two centers, located in Seoul and Daejeon, are currently managing the app's use. These centers handle approximately 19,000 alerts per day, relating to more than 5,000 individuals under electronic surveillance. The alerts cover a wide range of offenses, from sexual violence to more severe crimes like murder. The system aims to provide victims with a sense of security by allowing them to monitor their stalkers' movements and take preventive actions when necessary. The development of this application reflects a broader effort by South Korean authorities to address the rising issue of stalking and ensure the safety of victims. While the technology offers a new tool for protection, it also highlights the growing need for awareness and support systems to combat such crimes effectively.
