Authorities have reported that they have captured three teens for forcing an underage girl into prostitution.
The North Jeolla Province's Jeonju Wansan Police Station revealed on November 24 that they have arrested 18-year-old Jung and booked 18-year-old Lee and another unidentified 18-year-old for forcing a minor into prostitution and pocketing the money from prostitution for themselves.
The three culprits were reported to have lured 14-year-old Park and her boyfriend, also identified as a 14-year-old who shares the surname Park, to their one-room residence in Jeonju City this past November 15 and confined them. Afterwards, they threatened Park that they will "kill her boyfriend" if she didn't do as they said and prostituted her a total of four times.

Investigations found that the three teens had forced Park to perform sexual favors for male clients inside a car and collected the money from the prostitution.
The young couple had suffered their ill fate after running away from their troubled homes and meeting two strangers who had approached them under the guise of helping them out.
