A mysterious criminal named ‘Baksa’ used this ‘Nth room’, a private telegram chatroom, to blackmail young women, mostly college women and underage girls, to send their sexually explicit contents. Later, he sells this content to ten thousand anonymous users in exchange for cryptocurrencies. Kim Wan, a journalist, got an anonymous mail from a stranger who had information regarding Baksa’s cruel business. This marked the beginning of the investigation.
