Korean Surveillance School Trains Citizen Snoops
Ji Soo-hyun leads a double life. Three-months ago, the housewife began a career catching 1 lawbreakers red handed. Ji, 54, says her specialty 2 is going undercover at private tutoring schools.
"I pretend that I am going to enroll 3 my kids in the school. I ask the faculty 4 about extra services. There are a lot of illegal activities in these schools, like staying open too late and charging additional fees. These are the types of things I record," Ji noted 5.
When Ji is on her mission, she uses a small, concealed 6 camera to record video.
A cameraman is among the students of the Seoul paparazzi school - the same place that taught Ji how to secretly film illegal activity.
Academy director Moon Seong-ok also helps students find buyers for their secret footage.
"The students want to make money. I contact them with police agencies, local governments, health agencies and education authorities who pay them," Moon explained.
Moon claims citizen paparazzi can earn between $20 and $30,000 a year. But some observers say the government should not be paying neighbors to spy on neighbors.
"When it comes to citizen paparazzi, the government is outsourcing responsibility to civilians 7 and everyone knows it is a big problem. However, people don't really see it as an important issue," said Chun Sang-chin, a sociologist 8 at Seoul's Sogang University.
Chun says that is because people worry that if they complain, it will seem like they have something to hide.
Citizen paparazza Ji Soo-hyun says she does not feel sympathy for people breaking the law.
"At first I felt guilty about reporting on these people, but the more I did it, I realized how much illegal activity is going on around us," Ji admitted.
Ji says she is now turning her camera on people who skip out on paying their taxes.
