The trafficker recruited the women from 2008 to 2010 and sent them to New Zealand and Italy because these countries do not prohibit prostitution. He reportedly collected illegal profits of about 130 million won (approximately 130,000 USD) from them. The trafficker forced the women to undergo breast augmentation surgery. The victims were forced to change their name because they would be denied entry into the countries with a record of prostitution.
