I’m Korean. Thousands of Koreans are being detained in Cambodia right now, and people are dying every few days. The Cambodian government knows this — but they’re turning a blind eye.
Local news only says, “Koreans came here for illegal work,” but that’s not true. There were a few people who went there for illegal work, but they were a small minority. Most victims were deceived — they went believing it was a normal, legitimate job. Some were even kidnapped while traveling or just sitting in a café.
For years, hundreds of thousands of job postings related to Cambodia have appeared on Korean job sites. According to survivors, company websites, documents, and addresses all looked completely real — it was almost impossible to tell they were scams.
Survivors also said the Cambodian police seemed connected with the criminal groups. Even when they knew people were being held captive, they refused to help. Families who reported the cases were told, “The victim must call and report it directly,” which was absurd and impossible. Some victims who escaped were forced to sign papers promising not to speak about the crimes after returning to Korea.
This isn’t about “bad tourists.” It’s about real people being trapped, beaten, and silenced. And this isn’t just about criminal organizations — it’s about the Cambodian regime itself. When the government and police protect criminals instead of victims, that’s no longer corruption — it’s complicity.
This issue has been raised in Korea for over a year. The Korean government has made more than 20 official requests for investigation, but Cambodia ignored most of them — only six replies were ever received. Recently, there were even reports that some of the criminals involved were released.
