Watchdog to review `Naked News`

The Korea Communications Standards Council announced on Monday they will commence deliberations on the fate of "Naked News Korea," which started its racy services late last month both online and mobile.

"Naked News," as its title implies, showcases female anchors who strip down while they cover the latest in current affairs. Two versions of the service are available -- one for adults and another for teenagers.

According to the communications watchdog, the contents of the site have been closely monitored since it began and an episode in which its presenters discussed female orgasms was deemed vulgar and inappropriately suggestive.

The council determined cautionary measures must be made by rating the contents of the service harmful to teenagers. They plan on taking stern action against "Naked News Korea."
