That said, discussion so far has onesidedly focused on police-wise countermeasures related mainly with offline prostitutions and indeed studies at home and abroad related with regulation of prostitution-promoting sites stays currently no more than in the beginning stage. Prostitution-promoting sites include 'information with contents for the purpose of prostitution or inciting or aiding it' that is harmful not merely to the youth but adults. And so, discussion must be expanded intrinsically from the standpoint that its distribution itself should be prohibited, to protect the youth and also in consideration of its being illegal information. This study made clear definition on the concept of these sites by showing the background of the emergence of prostitution-promoting sites and then examined the actual state of its operation. Thereafter, it sought to work out criminal restrictions each for the opening and operation of prostitution-promoting sites, posting of advertisements within sites of sexual traffic places, the behavior of posting postscripts on the bulletin boards. And the study completed the discussion by suggesting measures for the purpose of legal regulation of prostitution-promoting sites.
