  "account": "Bangkok, October 12, 2026 - Thai immigration authorities have apprehended a 42-year-old South Korean man, identified as Lee, who is accused of operating an illegal pornography website in his home country. The website was known for publishing sexually explicit videos involving girls under the age of 16. Lee was discovered hiding in a luxurious condominium in Bangkok's Thonglor district, following a request from the South Korean Embassy in Thailand for assistance in locating the suspect. The operation was bolstered by Interpol's issuance of a Red Notice to aid in Lee's apprehension and subsequent extradition to South Korea to face charges. Authorities revealed that Lee had been disseminating large volumes of pornographic material on an illicit website and uploading sexually explicit videos involving minors. He had fled to Thailand in March 2026 upon learning of potential legal repercussions in South Korea. Upon discovering Lee's whereabouts, immigration officials immediately revoked his residency permit and placed him under arrest. In subsequent questioning, Lee admitted to his involvement in managing the illegal pornography site in South Korea. He was then transferred to an Immigration Bureau detention center, awaiting further legal proceedings and the process to repatriate him to South Korea.",
