The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) is blocking access to swingers' or partner-swapping websites after police busted a local swingers community earlier this week. The MIC asked 12 local high-speed Internet providers to block access to recently opened overseas-based swingers' sites. Nine of the providers including KT and Hanaro have already blocked the sites, while the other three plan to follow suit.
The MIC said it was stepping up Internet surveillance to block information harmful to youth like obscene websites. A ministry spokesman said regardless of whether swinging was illegal or not, such sites could have a negative influence on children. Police said Tuesday there was no law against consensual partner swapping.
