Following Japan, South Korea now also has a "consent sexual relationship APP" to prevent the situation of "thinking that the other party consented, but later claimed that they did not consent."Kim Ho-pyeong, a lawyer who developed the app and provided legal consultation, said that the software was "developed to solve social problems that make it increasingly difficult to trust each other." From a male's perspective, it can reduce the fear of the other party claiming "forced relationship" afterwards, and if a woman becomes pregnant, she can also claim joint responsibility on the part of the man.
However, it is still unknown whether the consent form produced through the APP can have clear legal effect. Japan tried to launch this kind of APP in August last year, but some critics believed that "you may be forced to press the consent button."
In addition, since the place and time of consent to have sex are also recorded in the APP, some people have suggested that if it is leaked, "it may be maliciously used to coerce signature consent."
