A documentary director visiting the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) has told police a hidden camera photographed her in the shower, Yonhap reported Wednesday.

She posted the incident on her Facebook page early Tuesday.

The director was taking a shower at BIFF-organized accommodation when the window behind the ventilation fan opened, revealing a cell phone. The sound of a photo being taken followed.

The facility had closed-circuit television (CCTV) but it was too old to provide definitive images of a possible culprit.

The director reported the incident to police while the facility said it will replace the outdated CCTV and revamp security.

BIFF, Asia's top film fest, runs through Oct. 10.
