전국민적 공분을 산 텔레그램 ‘N번방’ 사건 총정리
역대 최다 동의 청원 기록을 세웠다 코로나19 사태와 더불어 'N번방' 사건이 수면 위로 떠오르며 사회를 발칵 뒤집어 놓고 있다. 바로 어제, 미성년자 등을 협박해 촬영한 성착취 동영상을 메신저 텔레그램에 유포한 혐의를 받는 '박사방' 운영자 조모씨의 신상을 공개해야 한다는 국민청원 동의 인원이 200만 명을 넘겼다. 청원 동의자 수가 200만 명을 넘긴 건 청와대 국민청원이 생긴 이래 처음 있는 일. 국민청원 게시판에는 위 청원과 함께 ‘텔레그램 N번방 가입자 전원의 신상공개를 원한다'는 청원도 폭발적인 동의를 받고 있는 상황이다. 전국민적 공분을 산 사건이기에 경찰은 이번 주 중 내부위원 3명, 외부위원 4명으로 구성된 '신상정보 공개 심의위원회'를 열고 핵심 피의자 조씨의 신상공개 여부를 빠르게 결정할 방침이라고 밝혔다. 상상조차 할 수 없는 비윤리적인 행동들이 벌어진 텔레그램 N번방 사건이 다시는 일어나지를 않기를 간절히 바라며 <아이즈매거진>이 보다 널리 이 사건을 알리기 위해 핵심 내용을 총정리해봤다. 텔레그램은 무엇일까? 러시아 최대의 소셜네트워크서비스인 브콘탁테(VK : VKontakte)를 설립한 니콜라이 두로프(Nikolai Durov), 파벨 두로프(Pavel Duvov) 형제가 2013년 개발해 국내 2014년 10월에 정식 출시된 텔레그램. 어떠한 흔적도 남지 않는 뛰어난 보안성 때문에 메신저 이용자들 사이에서 '사이버 망명지'로 불리기도 한다. 텔레그램의 메시지 보내기 기능에는 크게 일반 대화와 비밀 대화가 있는데, 일반 대화는 다른 메신저들과 비슷하지만 비밀 대화에는 상대방의 수락이 있어야 시작이 가능하다. 이 비밀 대화의 특징으로는 전달 기능이 없고 일정 시간 후에 메시지를 자동 삭제할 수 있다. 또한, 채팅창을 캡처하면 상대방에게 화면을 캡처했다는 메시지가 전달되며 모든 채팅은 텔레그램 서버에 어떠한 흔적도 남지 않는다. 문제가 된 단체방의 경우 채팅방을 통제할 수 있는 권한을 가진 관리자를 설정할 수 있는데 이 관리자를 통해야만 특정 링크를 통해 단체방에 들어갈 수 있고 인물을 채팅방에서 내보낼 수도 있다. 바로, 이런 단체방의 폐쇄적인 성격 때문에 이번 ‘N번방' 사건이 초래된 것. 텔레그램 'N번방' 사건의 시작은? 처음 소식을 접한 대부분의 사람들은 이번 사건의 타이틀을 ‘N번방’으로 알고 있다. 하지만, 엄밀히 따지면 이번 사건은 텔레그램‘N번방과 박사방’사건이 맞다. 현재 경찰에 구속된 주요 핵심 피의자 조씨는 '박사방'의 운영자로, 'N번방'의 운영자는 추적중인 상태다. 그렇다면 ‘N번방’은 무엇일까. 닉네임 ‘갓갓’이 만든 'N번방'은 텔레그램 성 착취 사건의 시초로, 그는 지난해 2월부터 8월까지 텔레그램 단체방을 만들어 여성 청소년 등의 성 착취물을 유포했다. 알려진 단체방은 1번부터 8번까지 이름 붙인 방이지만, 텔레그램의 폐쇄성 상 더 많은 단체방이 있을 수 있다는 추정에 'N번방'이라 불리고 있다. ‘갓갓’은 주로 트위터에 자신의 노출 사진을 올리는 ‘일탈계’로 활동하는 여성 청소년에게 접근해 해킹 링크, 경찰 사칭 등으로 개인정보를 알아낸 뒤, 이를 지인에게 유포하겠다고 협박해 더 높은 수위의 착취물 제작을 강요했다. ‘N번방’이 경찰 수사로 인해 폭파되면서 ‘박사방’이 등장하게 된다. ‘박사’라 불리는 조씨는 초기 'N번방'에서 유포된 영상들을 배포하는 목적으로 '박사방'을 개설했는데, 이후 범행 수법을 새롭게 만들어냈고 SNS나 익명 채팅앱을 통해 고액 알바를 모집한다는 내용으로 여성 청소년들을 유인했다. 알바를 빌미로 얻어낸 개인정보와 사진은 협박의 수단이 되었고, 피해자들은 결국 ‘노예’라 지칭되는 도구로 취급을 받게 된다. 실제로 조씨는 "실시간 방에는 노예들 15명이 상주한다. 원하는 대로 장난감처럼 갖고 놀면 된다", "여러분의 명령에 따라 망가진다" 등 문구를 내세워 유료방 회원을 끌어모았다. 박사는 누구나 영상을 볼 수 있는 '맛보기' 대화방을 둔 뒤 지급하는 가상화폐 액수에 따라 더 높은 수위의 영상을 볼 수 있도록 3단계로 유료 대화방을 나눴고, 이 유료 대화방의 입장료는 1단계 20만~25만원, 2단계 70만원, 3단계 150만원 수준으로 알려졌다. 채팅방의 요금은 가상 화폐로 결제되는 치밀한 방법을 활용했다. 비윤리적인 행동의 총집약체라고 해도 과언이 아닌 ‘박사방’에는 여성 청소년들이 집단 성폭행을 당하거나, 인분을 먹기도 하고, 자신의 몸에 칼로 ‘박사’를 새기는 등 끔찍한 학대를 받는 사진, 영상이 끊임없이 공유돼는 충격적인 일들이 발생되고 있었다. 현재까지 파악된 박사방 피해자는 총 74명으로 이 가운데 16명은 미성년자, 최연소 피해자는 11살인 것으로 알려졌다. 'N번방과 박사방' 유료 회원은 처벌이 가능할까? ‘박사방' 운영자가 검거되면서 유료 회원 가입자들도 형사처분을 받게 될지에 대해서 이목이 쏠리고 있다. 현재 경찰은 수만 명에 달하는 것으로 추정되는 유료회원들에 대해서도 수사를 진행하고 상황. 하지만, 아이러니하게도 전문가들은 실제 처벌을 받게 될 가입자들은 많지 않을 것으로 보인다고 말한다. 이유인즉슨, 현행 법률상 음란물 제작이나 유통·배포에 관여하지 않고 단순 시청한 것만으론 죄가 되지 않기 때문. 다만, ‘박사방’ 피해자 중 일부가 미성년자임을 감안하면 일반 회원이라도 미성년 음란물임을 알면서 이를 소지한 자는 1년 이하의 징역 또는 2000만원 이하의 벌금에 처한다. 더 자세한 내용은 <아이즈매거진> 링크에서

지극히 개인적인 혼종라면 레시피 TOP 5
Editor Comment 통계에 의하면, 우리나라 국민 한 사람이 1년에 약 74개의 라면을 먹어 세계에서 1인당 라면 소비량이 가장 많은 것으로 조사됐다. 한국인이 얼마나 라면에 의존하는지를 여실히 보여주는 수치다. 오죽하면, 저마다 특색 있는 라면 레시피를 하나쯤 갖고 있을 정도니. 그 대표적인 현상은 짜파구리에서부터 시작한다. 짜파게티와 너구리를 섞으며 시작된 혼종라면의 열풍은 이제 점차 영역을 넓혀 하나의 문화로 잡았다고 해도 과언이 아닐 것. 간편하게 섞기만 하면 완성되기 때문에 요리를 못하는 이들도 쉽게 도전할 수 있다는 점이 혼종라면의 가장 큰 매력이지 않을까 싶다. 혹, 아직도 혼종라면에 도전하지 못했다면 지금부터 에디터가 추천하는 지극히 개인적인 혼종라면 레시피 TOP 5를 아래에서 눈여겨보길 바란다. TOP 5 - 굴진짬뽕 + 쇠고기 미역국라면 확실한 해장을 원한다면 오뚜기가 만든 굴진짬뽕과 쇠고기 미역국라면을 믹스한 굴미역짬뽕을 추천한다. 레시피는 두 라면의 액체, 건더기 스프를 순서대로 넣은 후 라면을 넣어주면 끝. 진한 사골 국물과 굴 특유의 향이 묘한 조합을 이뤄 바다 내음 가득한 짬뽕 맛을 선사한다. 생굴 또는 매생이를 넣어 만들면 조금 더 진한 풍미를 느낄 수 있으니 참고해 볼 것. TOP 4 - 너구리 + 카레라면 홍대 피시방 알바생이 레시피를 공유하며 화제를 모은 카구리. 깊은 해물 맛에 카레 향을 더한 독특한 국물이 중독성 있어 밥을 말아 먹고 싶게 만든다. 레시피는 끓는 물에 플레이크와 스프를 다음 면을 넣고 5분 정도 끓이면 완성. 이때 너구리 스프는 양을 반으로 줄여 끓이면 된다. 카레맛이 조금 덜 나 아쉽다면 고형 카레 1조각을 넣어주면 찐득한 카레 맛을 느낄 수 있을 것. 감칠맛을 더 원한다면 노른자를 살포시 얹어보자. TOP 3 - 간짬뽕 + 스파게티 군대 PX 별미로 유명한 짬파게티. 에디터 역시 군 시절 일주일에 두 번 이상은 먹었을 정도로 강한 중독성을 자랑한다. 마치 매콤 달콤한 떡꼬치 양념을 연상케하는 소스에 면을 비벼 먹는 느낌이랄까. 레시피는 건더기 스프와 면을 모두 넣어 6분간 끓여준 후 물을 버려준다. 그다음 액체스프와 가루스프를 1:1 비율로 넣어주면 완성. 담백하면서도 부드러운 맛을 더하고 싶다면 집에 먹다 남은 치즈를 살짝 녹여 섞어보길. TOP 2 - 틈새라면 + 리얼치즈라면 입안이 얼얼할 정도의 강렬한 매운맛과 부드럽고 고소한 치즈의 만남. 바로, 틈새치즈라면 되시겠다. 조리 시 가장 중요한 포인트는 두 라면을 섞어 먹었을 때 기준 물양을 800ml로 꼭 맞춰주는 것. 맵기 조절은 틈새라면의 스프로 조절해주면 된다. 라면을 그릇에 담은 후 리얼치즈라면에 들어있는 치즈 소스를 뿌려주면 완성. 더 강력한 매운맛을 원한다면 청양고추를 슬라이스해 장식으로 얹는다. TOP 1 - 불닭볶음탕면 + 짜파게티 안 먹어 본 사람은 있어도 한 번만 먹어본 사람은 없다는 마성의 레시피, 불닭짜파게티탕면. 다른 혼종라면에 비해 레시피가 다소 번거롭지만 맛은 보장한다. 불닭볶음면 대신 붉닭볶음탕면을 고른 이유는 화끈한 국물이 이 레시피의 생명이기 때문. 레시피는 먼저 짜파게티 분말스프와 건더기 그리고 두 면을 모두 넣어주고 끓인다. 면이 끓기 시작하면 불닭볶음탕면의 소스를 반 정도 넣어준 후 채선 파를 얹고 비벼주면 끝. 국물이 면사이로 자박하게 스며들어야 진가를 느낄 수 있으니 물양과 불 조절에 유의하자. 더 자세한 내용은 <아이즈매거진> 링크에서
Using Music to Move Past Differences in Kids on the Slope
Kids on the Slope is an anime that's about two things: jazz music and friendship. In one scene, the series captures overcoming differences in a friendship through the power of music or more specifically, jazz music. Before the scene above our two main characters Sentaro (the drummer) and Kaoru (the pianist) are not on speaking terms after Kaoru feels like he's been betrayed by Sentaro. During their school's recital something happens to the band that is supposed to play next and Kaoru volunteers to keep the crowd busy while the band gets everything together. There's something you should know about Kaoru, he's kind of a nerd. At the start of the series, he doesn't really have any friends, he's constantly getting bullied, and he's practicing classical piano pieces. That is, until he meets Sentaro, who -- for lack of a better term -- is kind of a bad boy. Sentaro doesn't go to class, he only plays the drums, and is constantly getting into fights. So when Sentaro steps on the stage to accompany Kaoru, it comes off as a big gesture. You can even see the surprise on Kaoru's face once he hears the drums start playing. As the song goes on, you can see their differences and anger towards each other disappear. The friendship they've made throughout the series up to this point takes the forefront. Jazz becomes their way of arguing with each other. There are moments throughout the medley where one musician stops playing and the other keeps going as if to say, "okay, I'm going to listen to your side of the story, now". The magical thing to me about this scene is how jazz -- or music in general -- is used as a tool to get through certain hardships. Through the way they play their instruments, we can see our characters have a discussion, get through their differences, and then remember what it's like to have fun with each other.
Once In A Blue Moon (원스인블루문)
One of the most famous jazz clubs in Korea, this place guarantees to impress. The bar is spread out over three floors; the first floor is for those who like to be right up close to the music. It offers the best view of the performers but obviously, it's also the noisiest. The second floor is perfect for those dining as the music provides a lovely backdrop to the conversation without overpowering it. The third floor is for VIP guests and private parties only. Dinner on the second floor makes for a superb date as you get to know each other over sumptuous food and smooth jazz. There are two live music stages each night; the first lasts from 7:30PM until 10PM and the second from 10:20PM to 12:40PM*. Expect an eclectic mix of musical styles; original jazz, swing, bebop, fusion- you'll find all of it here. The bar stocks over 100 wines and each of the cocktails are named after famous jazz musicians - somehow a Billy Holiday sounds more than appropriate when you've already had a few Ella Fitzgeralds!! Bear in mind- this place isn't cheap(!) so you'll probably visit it once in a blue moon as the name suggests! It's unsurprisingly incredibly popular for proposals ;) So if you're really going for it or you've just got cash to spare, you can't go wrong here! Costs Involved: Food Bar Snacks start at roughly 20,000won For dinner, main meal prices start at 26,000won and salads come in slightly cheaper around 20,000won. Set Menu prices start at 48,000won. Drinks Domestic beer starts at 21,000won. Cocktails start at 19,000won. Glasses of wine start at 20,000won. Bottles of wine and spirits are available for purchase from 200,000won+.

Welcome to the Funny Community game, Love It Or Hate It! This game is really similar to Monday's 'No Good or So Good' food game - except this one deals a lot more with non-food things.

Adam Lambert Releases New Single: "Never Close Our Eyes"
After an incredibly successful stint on the American Idol stage, two-time runner-up Lambert returned to his pop idol roots with his debut solo album, The Original High. Now, he's been busy working on new music—and it's paying off. With a new single out today ("Never Close Our Eyes") and another one coming in March ("Family Name"), Lambert has been keeping fans busy since the release of his first post-Idol single back in January. This time around, Lambert returns with "Never Close Our Eyes," a relatable track about settling down and not letting go of your loved ones. Lambert wrote "Never Close Our Eyes" with Diane Warren (who penned "Because You Loved Me" for him), and the pair also collaborated on Lambert's other new single "Family Name." Together, they explore themes of family and belonging that are perfectly suited to Lambert's personal narrative right now—and we can't wait to hear more from them in the future! "Never Close Our Eyes" – The Meaning Behind the Song Lambert is no stranger to the subject of marriage in his music; he even penned an entire album based around the theme in 2015. But "Never Close Our Eyes" explores another important milestone in the journey to marriage: children. "All the love that I have inside of me," he sings, "I want to put down through you and your children." It's a beautiful sentiment that ties in with the overarching theme of finding your voice through collaboration that runs through Lambert's discography. Why Is It a Good Match for Lambert? Lambert has always had an affinity for love songs and pop ballads, but he's showing a newfound maturity and confidence in his songwriting on The Original High. While his 2017 album had its moments of heartbreak, the follow-up feels much more assured and comfortable in his skin. "Never Close Our Eyes" is a relatable track that explores some of the most important relationships in life: a husband and wife, and, of course, their children. Pairing these themes with Lambert's voice and songwriting skills, it's another reminder that he's ready to take on a much larger audience with this new album cycle. What's Lambert Saying in "Never Close Our Eyes"? "It's hard to let go of a family name / And I won't be the one to change your mind." Throughout the chorus and initial verse, Lambert sings about the importance of sticking to your family name, and not letting go of those who are important to you. The second verse continues in this vein, as Lambert sings about not changing the mind of someone who finds family to be a source of strength and meaning. It's a powerful message about staying true to who you are and taking pride in who you are. Takeaway: Finding Your Voice Through Collaboration For Lambert—who has proven himself to be a talented songwriter on his own—finding ways to collaborate with other artists is an especially important part of his evolution as a musician. Collaboration is the new collaboration, and today's best artists are actively seeking out new sounds and creating new music together rather than relying on their own sound. And who better to do this with than your Idol runner-up? With Lambert, he's found two collaborators who are perfectly suited to his personal story. Between Lambert's personal story and Warren's ability to make an emotional connection through lyrics, Lambert's latest singles are a must listen whether you're a fan of his music or not.
Self Care Tips From BTS Plus Self Care and BTS Giveaway
Hello fam! So much has happened! We are growing in numbers with members. Plus we have gained a new editor! I'm super excited! We all know that BTS are huge supporters of self care and self love! Like...they did do an entire album and concept called Love yourself and our President Namjoon brought it up at his huge speech. So let's dive into some self care tips from BTS. Tip 1: TRUE LOVE FIRST BEGINS WITH LOVING MYSELF This is so true. No one can love anyone genuinely before loving themselves. This can be a challenge due to how much media tells us unconsciously to not be satisfied with ourselves. Love your flaws and accept who you are. Nothing is wrong with self improvement but remember no one is perfect. Tip 2: "MAYBE I MADE A MISTAKE YESTERDAY, BUT YESTERDAY’S ME IS STILL ME. TODAY, I AM WHO I AM WITH ALL OF MY FAULTS AND MY MISTAKES. TOMORROW, I MIGHT BE A TINY BIT WISER, AND THAT WILL BE ME TOO.” Speaking of self-improvement this quote is spot on. Don't be afraid to be the best version of yourself and don't beat yourself up for making mistakes. What was done yesterday is done, but we can make change for tomorrow based upon what we learned from yesterday's mistakes. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE OR ANYTHING WRONG WITH STARTING OVER! Tip 3: "I HAVE COME TO LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM, FOR WHO I WAS, AND FOR WHO I HOPE TO BECOME.” It also helps to have self reflection as you grow by looking at your past self to see how much you have grown. Just because you are happy with your present self doesn't mean you don't want to continue to grow and or have any future goals. Love your past, present, and future self all in one. I know I can't wait to become my future self! However, I'm thankful for my past self and the lessons she has and will teach my present self. Giveaway Rules and Set up! The self-care and BTS community has teamed up to promote self love and self care. As you know BTS has done this recently with their vacation. The rules are simple.
