A Taiwanese traveler visiting Busan in South Korea, made a shocking discovery right after landing, finding hidden pinhole cameras installed in an airport restroom. Thankfully, she had prepared in advance by bringing opaque stickers, which she quickly used to cover the suspicious lens. What’s even more alarming is that she later found similar hidden cameras in restrooms at subway stations and department stores. Disturbed by how widespread the issue seemed, she took to social media to warn others, reminding travelers to stay vigilant and take precautions when using public facilities abroad.

A woman had just entered the restroom when she noticed punctures on the partition panel. She covered them with round label stickers she’d prepared specifically for this trip.

Tourist
Just two to three days before I was about to leave for Korea, I saw a Threads post cautioning that the punctures you see on restroom partitions are in fact, pinhole cameras. The video was taken at the airport. Yes, this happens even at the airport. So I reached for the stickers to cover up the two punctures.

Ms. Lee had just landed at Gimhae International Airport when she noticed the hidden cameras. But that would only be her first encounter with this notorious activity in Busan.

Every single day, I’d run into this problem in one or two stalls. Usually it’s at the restroom in metro stations. The wooden partition panels would have four punctures, and you’d see that someone had already tried to cover them up. There’s sticky residue where the stickers were and got peeled off. It’s really frightening.

Fortunately, Ms. Lee made sure to carry stickers with her on the trip, so that she could cover up suspicious-looking holes whenever she saw them. Voyeuristic secret photography is not unheard of in South Korea.

Victim of upskirting
My classmate upskirted me. I demanded that he stop, but he saw it as a joke. It’s actually a crime. The pictures and videos taken secretly could easily end up online, but lots of men don’t see this as a problem.

Travel writer
Whether it’s public restrooms or bathrooms and toilets of lodgings and hotels, people should take note if there’s anything suspicious looking on hooks and other attachments, or even tissue boxes. It’s safer that way.

The travel writer suggests scanning for hidden cameras to avoid becoming an unwilling subject.
