South Korean authorities are developing a mobile app for stalking victims to track in real-time the location of their stalkers, if they're nearby.
The app, announced by South Korea's justice ministry on Wednesday, is part of an approved amendment to the country's electronic monitoring law.
Stalkers have become a subject of public concern in South Korea, especially as high-profile crimes involving stalking have made headlines in recent years.
Under the current law, stalking victims can receive text message alerts when their stalkers are nearby - though these do not reveal stalkers' exact locations.
This makes it difficult for victims to determine the direction of the perpetrator, the justice ministry said in a statement.
