Following in the footsteps of Japan and a few other countries, South Korea is considering a ban on cameraphone shutter sound removers. The Korea Communications Commission is currently discussing this with phone makers such as Samsung, LG, Apple, and other vendors. Software companies like Google also seem to be part of the talks.
In Japan, the ban is in place to prevent unauthorized videotaping. One of the main problems, in South Korea as well, seem to be voyeurs who shoot pictures of women.
