Youth Protection Policy

Effective 2026-10-13

Baegugu operates this Youth Protection Policy so that young people can enjoy volleyball and connect with other players safely. In this policy, "youth" means anyone under 19. Since Baegugu accepts members aged 14 and over, members aged 14 to 18 are the main group this policy protects.

Article 1 (Prohibition of Content Harmful to Youth)

① The following may not be posted on Baegugu:

  • Obscene or sexual posts, images, or videos
  • Posts encouraging gambling, illegal drugs, or the sale of alcohol or tobacco
  • Posts promoting violence, self-harm, or crime
  • Posts exposing others' personal information or aimed at bullying or harassment

② Such content is deleted as soon as it is found or reported, and the member who posted it is restricted under Article 17 (Reports and Sanctions) of the Terms of Service.

③ A banned-word filter prevents profanity in nicknames and names.

Article 2 (Protection in Direct Messages)

① The following are prohibited in direct messages:

  • Asking for or sending sexual conversation or images
  • Repeatedly asking for personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, or photos
  • Approaching someone by asking for, or offering, money or gifts
  • Telling someone not to tell their parent or guardian, or pressuring them to meet alone

② If you receive unwanted messages, you can block the other person from the conversation screen. Blocked users can no longer send you messages.

③ If any of the above is confirmed, the member's account may be permanently suspended immediately.

Article 3 (Protection in Offline Activities)

Guest recruitment, club activities, and one-day classes and lessons on Baegugu involve meeting people in person. Youth members should:

  • Take part in public places with other people around, such as a gym.
  • Tell a parent or guardian the schedule and location before going.
  • Decline personal meetings unrelated to the sport or any request for money, and report it to Baegugu.

Article 4 (Illegally Filmed Content and Child Sexual Exploitation Material)

① Illegally filmed content, fabricated content (such as deepfakes), and child or youth sexual exploitation material are deleted and blocked as soon as they are reported or found.

② The account of the member who posted such content is permanently suspended immediately, and Baegugu cooperates with requests from investigative authorities.

③ Where it is hard to determine whether content is illegal, Baegugu may request a review by the Korea Broadcasting, Media and Communications Standards Commission.

Article 5 (How to Report)

If you find content or behavior harmful to youth, please report it as follows:

  • Posts and comments: the report button on each post or comment
  • Messages, member accounts, and anything else: email baegugu@naver.com, starting the subject line with [Youth Protection Report]

Reports are handled so that the reporter's identity is not revealed.

Article 6 (Support and Related Agencies)
