In addition to the recent "mugshot" controversy, it's not uncommon for women to feel uncomfortable in all-female spaces, such as bathhouses and sour rooms. "You're seen as a 'strange woman' if you're seen with a cell phone," they say.

The problem is that there's nothing you can do about it, even if you feel uneasy or suspicious. "It depends on whether you're nervous or not, but I don't know what to do in a situation where I'm really suspicious," they said."

When asked, "How can customers be protected if something bad happens?" the bathhouse staff emphasized that "mugshots are unthinkable," adding, "We don't crack down on them, but as the controversy over 'mugshots' continues to grow, we will hand them over to the police.

On the other hand, the Supreme Court's 2008 ruling in the "camera voyeurism" case stated that the criteria for "molka" should be determined on a specific, individualized, and relative basis, taking into account the location, angle, and distance of the shot, and whether certain body parts are emphasized.
