The majority of currently existing more than 700 random chatting applications are joinable without identification or adult authentication, and most of which have a structure that can be exposed to crime as input information does not go through a particular verification procedure. In addition, domestic laws require random chatting applications only to pass autonomous screening of the app store to be registered without any special report or permission, and it is very difficult to ascertain intermediation of prostitution and fact of agreement on the app, and designating as media harmful to juveniles is also not easy in reality, which leads to continuous comments that it is being neglected in the blind spot of crackdown, control and supervision.
Taking such a present situation seriously, this manuscript aims to grasp the reality and seek countermeasures focusing on random chatting apps that are recently used as a main route of juvenile prostitution. For the foregoing, this study will first understand reality and characteristics of juvenile prostitution focusing on the present condition of crackdown of juvenile prostitution at the stage of police, disposition for juvenile prostitution at the stage or prosecution, main routes of juvenile prostitution and harmful consequences caused by the aforementioned, and will finish discussion seeking countermeasures against juvenile prostitution through random chatting through devising a method for blocking media harmful to juveniles etc., and analysis on the issues such as possibility of ban on the circulation of information alluding to·causing juvenile prostitution and application of a charge against lurer·recommendation of juvenile prostitution etc.
