We are back to our Monday schedule, and in South Korea for the first time! Above all else, this case will teach you the importance of keeping your address free from social media. Have you ever experienced a stalker? What steps do you take to keep yourself safe? Let me know below. Stay safe, and see you again next Monday! - Adrian.
Yes, twice. I've had to move, change my phone number, and once i changed my name. I don't use social media, and i never post anything specific on the rare occasion that i do. I wish I knew more about self defense. I feel that's a really important skill to have. Also i built a support group of people i could trust. I have roommates that are badass now and im no longer living in fear. (Also 10 years of therapy.) That being said, my best friend is someone i met through online gaming and I've gone 5000 miles across the world just to hang out and those were absolutely some of the best times of my life. But i took precautions too. I didn't travel alone, i took a friend. Meeting someone you met online for the first time can be magic. But always always always be safe and guard your own back. Don't isolate yourself, but be skeptical of everyone until they've earned your trust. Because you can think you know someone and they turn out to be your worst nightmare. Trust your instincts. That's my best advice. Stay safe, fellow heartbeats. ❤️
Her FRIENDS continued to hang out with this person after he started harassing her? Like, she actually had to avoid her friend group sometimes because of him???? That makes this even more terribly sad 😔
...that's excusing it numb nuts. any reason u hang out with ur friend's a abuser is wrong. no one cares why they might have kept hanging with him, what matters is that they did & they were wrong & in a way they contributed to his behavior
@@dceezy15 Where did the original replier say that it was okay though? He explained the friends potential reasoning, the replier in no way, shape or form said that what they did was cool.
When I was a young, young girl, I was stalked for over a year. Every place I went, wasn't old enough to drive, that man followed me. Police were called regularly, but said they could do nothing until he did something to me. That was comforting. He finally stopped when my mother rammed her car into his. Words were exchanged, items were shown to him, and I never saw him again. I was a lucky one, for sure!
I'm glad they don't just arrest people based on a single accusation; to have your freedom taken away solely on a someone's accusation - no other evidence, just their words - is not a justice system I personally would want to live in. Because in that world someone who simply doesn't like you would merely have to accuse and the accused's entire life would be hobbled by a "criminal" background. There's a reason police can't and don't do anything without it being _in flagrante delicto_ (meaning they witness it happen in their capacity as LE) or until there are substantiated patterns or further evidence that the accusation has enough merit to _immediately_ take away someone's freedom (via arrest). At the very least I'm hoping the reasonable people agree that a single incident of stalking isn't grounds for arrest (unless, of course, other criminal things occurs, like assault - but that's it's own thing and not stalking), but that they should call if there are subsequent acts OR - one exception for the single incident - if the stalking went from quiet and just weird/unsettling to an actual verbal threat. Otherwise, you can move to a country that has such martial authoritarian law-type justice, like North Korea or Somalia. Sure you will love it there
@@egregiousqueef7781 reasonable people also see stalking someone for a year (if we believe OP) as a pattern as you've described. There's a difference between what you're making it seem like and what is actually described in the comment you're replying to.
@@egregiousqueef7781 are you dumb? Stalkers actually HURT people, significantly lower quality of life and are, as unstable and unhealthy individuals, DANGEROUS. This is the system we need exactly- protecting victims of stalking. If you're scared police might come for you - well, looks like you have something to hide.
A lot of Asian media still glorifies stalking, jealousy and stuff like that. If one person relentlessly pursues the other and they eventually give in, that's often seen as super romantic. Just look at how many people think Killing Stalking is actually romantic. Or take any of the anime out there where one person regularly forces themselves onto the other and everyone swoons. Truly sorry for anyone who has to deal with this.. Stay safe out there folks!
Right. Honestly disgusting how they romanticize Killing Stalking, the writer even stated that it is NOT a romance. If the main lead wasn’t “attractive”, people wont even try and swoon over them.
I've heard of killing stalking but when I saw the snippets of the manwa I was like "NAAAAAH" still curious tho but keep forgetting to check it out. But after reading some of the comments about how heavily romanticizing the manwa was I stop completely.
@@ViciVidiVeni Well yea just look at these teen drama's nowadays. They romanticize abuse and just because the man is attractive the girls think it's ok. It's super creepy and it's sad that these girls see that as romance..
@@skullladymalady I don't think remorse is a known emotion to him. Otherwise, after so many harassement, if he had remorse, he would have send her a last message, excusing himself, and stopped contacting her entirely, going on his way in life. But he continued and prepared a murder, ended up doing 3 and lived days with corpses beside him.
@@itsmefm I'm satisfied, he can feel time going slow, he should suffer and rot in hell. People should not think about conditions being humane, when their victims were killed inhumanely.
It always infuriates me that stalking is still taken so lightly, sometimes even laughed at. It is terrifying, it can ruin your life, and it definitely messes you up mentally. South Korea as well as other far east Asian countries have sadly still a very long way to go in that matter. This is a step in the right direction, such a shame only after a tragedy like that.
The US isn't much better. They get a restraining order but not as much as a slap on the wrist if its violated. My sister was stalked for years and no one did shit. The guy finally moved on but it could have went a lot worse. Justice systems all over the world are crap.
@@AbsyntheAndTears The legal system is not the solution to mental issues. Plus another issue with addressing stalking as a criminal problem is it will open the door to the pre-crime punishment concept. We need another system like the police but as first responders trained to identify and address social and mental issues separate to legal and criminal problems. Because loading everything on the cops/legal system is not working. Stalking should not be ignored but making it criminal before addressing the cause is just lazy and wrong.
I had an ex boyfriend stalk and harass me for six months after the relationship ended. It was awful. It even involves my parents which was horrible for them too. I didn’t bother with the police (I live in the UK) because I knew they wouldn’t do anything about it; here you have to get to the point where you’re literally in mortal danger before they will act. It’s ridiculous. It’s not just Asia that has a problem seeing stalking as a real crime.
I love that you do lesser known cases in different countries, rather than just rehashing famous American cases like most other TH-cam content creators. Love your work bud.
her “fatal mistake” is so infuriating. it’s so sad that we have to watch out for the smallest things because there’s people like kim out there. stay safe edit: people. i know kim is his last name, i didn't want to use his first name. thanks
@@johnthree1611 indeed, i concur. That being said, I wish you were Stone Cold Steve Austin and could go take care of this piece of human excrement. Not kidding about this unfortunately. I am exceedingly tired and if i were a car would be considered "antique".
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookfarm6698 , nice. For real though, more guys need to step up, and kick guys butts who do these kinds of things, like stalking, harassing, exposing themselves etc.
i dunno, "don't post your full address on the internet" is a pretty smart piece of advice. It is a small thing but unfortunately this case is exactly why it's basic safety and privacy rules. It's not just celebrities that have to worry about crazy people finding them :(
Your channel is amazing, you can see the quality from the very beginning. Thank you for covering these interesting cases, that otherwise I might've not heard about.
Yeah I love channels with unusual upload schedules. Gives me other fresh content to watch instead of picking out from a flood of notifications during peak upload times.
As a past victim of a stalker, this particular story hits extremely close to home. May legions of Angels wing all 3 murder victims to their much deserved rest. And may his surviving victims find peace.
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 - Saying shit like what? Wishing his victims to rest in peace? Elaborate. Or do you mean stabbing my stalker 13 times? Hey man, the cops wouldn't help, the stalker wouldn't stop so I took matters into my own hands, that doesn't make me crazy af, just @ my ropes end. He survived & guess what?! He also stopped stalking me! Since the cops didn't have the balls to teach him a lesson, I did! And maybe because I begged the cops for help to no avail, maybe I did flip my lid a little. After begging EVERY organization for help to no avail, yeah, you do lose faith in all those organizations that promise to help you. So unless you have been in my shoes AND my frame of mind over a situation as serious as stalking, with the guy threatening to stab & kill me, just keep your mouth shut. I took matters into my own hands AND IT WORKED, period! Nobody would help me so I helped myself! What was I supposed too do?! Just lay down & allow him to stab me to death?! Think before you speak, especially about a subject you know NOTHING about, ok. I don't mean to put you down but you have NO idea what you are speaking of!
I'd like to see crimes against voiceless animals reported. It's mind boggling how INDIFFERENT we r to the suffering of fellow creatures. “The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” - Leonardo Da Vinci Edit: Good news. In S. Korea, as a result of thorough police investigation, an elderly man was charged w/"MURDER of a living being." Psychopath dumped 3 kittens (2 survived, 1 died). He got 2 yrs of jail, too low Ik, but it's incomparably better than cops in the states who pepper spray/shoot homeless cats.
My girlfriend went to the same middle school as him and was in the same grade. We both are the same age as him. Also my girlfriend's "back then" friend's ex bf's friend was this guy. She recalled that her ex was a maniac back then, and that also Kim was just a shy little kid who wanted to "get along" with the popular kids. My girlfriend recalls the same opinion as above, and that he was quiet, only messed around when his so called "friends" did. Damn it gives me the creeps when I found this out on the news when the news leaked his school info. I immediately said to my girlfriend about this, "isn't Gooryong Middle where you went? Wtf!!!
Thank you for covering true crime from non-English countries like south east Asian countries. Most other channels mainly cover US, Canada, UK etc. So I am grateful for your diverse content, meticulous research, showing respect to the country's culture, and above all paying tribute to the victims👍
Before this incident, it was very well known to the S Korean public that the police tend to take stalking very lightly when reported, claiming they had no authority to do anything (true to a degree since they had zero legal basis) unless actual infringement of rights or actual bodily harm was done. Efforts to reform the outdated laws regarding prosecuting stalkers seemed to be the lowest of the lowest priority for policymakers... Thankfully this changed a lot of that. Ari and her family will have a lasting and unforgettable legacy
It’s hard to define a stalker, a neighbour who works the same job as you and returns home the same way might be mistaken as a stalker and unnecessary police time is wasted and the neighbour is bothered if you report them.
@@1mol831 Well, there is a slight difference of a simple neighbour you don't really know because you don't talk to him/her walking everytime the same street but doing nothing and someone spamming you of calls and messages
Took me blocking him on all social media that I had, countless times in a row and lashing out at him twice before he pissed off. I got away very easily compared to some victims of online stalking.
@@FateZeroth damn............touchè, although the numbers are hazy regarding the percentage skew due to the victims not reporting it being overwhelmingly male, overall you are correct.
@@FateZeroth mostly guys. Sure maybe that's reported. Just like domestic violence. It certainly goes both ways and it's underreported for men. A man complaining about this would be laughed at. Rape or sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence and similar crimes are way under reported if it's woman on man. Even if convicted men get way stronger sentences. I bet you also protest for 'equality', but only when it suits 'feminism'
That's so scary what she went through, not just at the end but everything she had to do just to try to get him to stop harassing her. And the collateral damage he left behind was jaw-dropping! This was a good one, Adrian, in so many ways.
He “accidentally” killed two innocent people, when he really only wanted to kill the third innocent person?? How ‘bout he just learns to feel remorse for having even SOUGHT to kill anyone in the first place? Some people just don’t know how to take “No!” for an answer! It doesn’t matter why; ANY REJECTION IS ENOUGH of a reason for you to LEAVE SOMEONE ALONE! Sex is not a right!
He didn't even kill them accidentally,he killed them purposely to avenge as much as possible for the rejection,he obviously came prepared to kill her family too,that makes him one of the most dangerous incels out there
@@shepherdrm8486 Quite the opposite. Incels these days think they are entitled to sex from a hot girl. They would say they DO have a right to sex and it's being denied them. Their echo chambers are terrifying places.
That’s the angry incel, they should direct their anger to the correct person, which is politicians, because they are the root of all of their problems. Even though they themselves have the means to slightly improve their own situation.
In a sense, I actually like how they won't reveal the names of victims. It's not uncommon that the news in the western world is where families first learn of the deaths of their loved ones, the police don't even have time to inform the families personally. This also gives families the ability to cope with the loss of their loved ones without media crawling all over them like maggots.
Media typically know so families are far from being left in peace. In media coverage they just have the obligation to not use their names and to either mozaik their faces or display a black band on a recognizable part like the eyes... 🤷🏾♀️
@@nonamec1391 it actually felt somewhat more natural then some other videos because I’m used to people being referred to by family name in news coverage, particularly in S. Korean and Japanese related videos. It feels way to personal to me when they refer to first names for murders. Plus, I’m a fan of way too many Taehyuns (Kang, Roh, Nam) to have him constantly refer to THAT with the same name.
As a Korean, I gotta say you did an excellent job with researching the country and how to pronounce the names. Good job. I noticed in other videos too that you carefully and respectfully try to pronounce the names of the victims properly.
I love how you present cases. Just very matter-of-fact. Very respectful of the victims and their families. No sensationalistic histrionics. Just the facts. I'd love to have a coffee with ya! Have a great day 😀
@@CoffeehouseCrime you're an incredible narrator, Adrian! Don't ever doubt yourself. Also you deserve so many more subscribers and every time I see the number get a little higher, I get so excited for you
@@CoffeehouseCrime I also think you're an amazing narrator! I know us 3 commenting on it aren't anywhere close to the only ones who think so, too. So happy I found your channel. I really appreciate you! Stay safe, and stay blessed, Adrian! Sending love from USA! 💙💙💙
I concur on you being an awesome narrator! I hope you can doubt yourself less and believe in your strengths. Found your channel through other videos and am a recent subscriber… hope you continue to grow!
I've been a victim of two separate stalkers during the same period. My life was literal hell since at least one of them was always stalking me. One of them stayed far and kept smiling creepily all the time and the other one straight up tried to talk to me any way possible. One night I was on my way home, as usual the shadow was behind me and when he said he liked me I made it clear that I'm not interested and turned around. He literally threw a brick just beside me to stop me and I ran for my life. Luckily we soon moved to a new place coincidentally since I didn't tell my family about it and I'm finally free from both stalkers.
That's so sad. I had a stalker also and it's horrible. Just be really careful because the stalker harassing me appeared again after 13 years and he even went to the cities I was living without me knowing. He wasn't able to find me because I literally deleted everyone on my social media so he couldn't know where I live, and I also changed my phone number. Also anyone who put up photos of where I live (my old mother in law ugh) I just deleted and do not talk to. So my stalker has no way of knowing where I am or who I'm friends with. It sucks, but he was an absolute maniac.
Omg I kid you not, I was just thinking how I haven’t heard/seen someone cover a stalker related crime story in some time and of course my favorite crime channel delivered. Thank you so much for bringing light to this case Adrian ❤️
I am so glad there are not many such time waster cafes where I live. It’s truly a vengeful heart that cannot let someone whom you love, but doesn’t love you, go. If you really love someone let them free as their happiness is important to you.
I'm a new subscriber. Though I hate that these stories happened, I appreciate you telling them. Hopefully these stories will help people understand just how important it is to pay attention to your surroundings and that "gut" feeling. I've worked more crime scenes in the past 15 years than I could count. It still shocks me to see how evil people can be. Be Safe
As a fellow gamer, I know the deep sadness of getting off after a long night of playing with a good friend, getting on to play again the next day only to be met with disappointment, as time goes by you assume maybe they’ve gone on with their lives… but some don’t ever get that closure and are left wondering until the memories fade (if they ever do). My heart goes out to the remaining family as well as the victim’s friends both irl and online.
yeah, so many stories behind those not logging in again. for one his wife logged in after a few days because he probably told her that he had made friends in that game to tell us that he died from a heart attack, another one disappeared for a month and suddenly logged in again and told us that he got thrown out by his family and was struggling to get a new home and access to internet, yet another that was active every day was suddenly never seen again and I can just hope that he found something or someone in his life that made him happier than the video games and that one day he will just pop in to say hello and how everything is great
Ahh PC Bangs/Net Cafes. Used to hang out in them almost every day during my college years playing whatever online games were incredibly popular back then. Good times....I feel old.
Not going to lie, a few years ago I was on a three month holiday in Thailand. Towards the end of it when things were getting a little same-same, Overwatch was released and I went hardcore at their PC Bangs! Was such a cool experience, it's like half-restaurant/half gaming, and the fancier ones feel like you're in some sort of industrial bar. Would love that sort of thing in the western world!
They didn't even have video games while I was in college. Start eating right and getting fit NOW. Wear sunscreen and focus on the positive. Fasting rewinds the clock!
Wait. Western doesn't have PC bangs.? Or they rarely exist or something? In indonesia, we called them Warnet (warung internet). We have lots of them back in 2010-2017. But thanks to the rise of mobile gaming, most of them had to close down now.
I still work from home and put your stories on as I work. I seriously enjoy your content and stories and the rhythm and tone of your dialogue. All whilst drinking my coffee. :) Keep up the wonderful work and it's like Christmas when I see you're new video pop up in my feed! Peace, Love, and Blessings!
I hate this, Ive experienced all the same stalking as she experienced, from people online. All the same tactics, making a new account and pretend to be a new person and befriending me. Its so disturbing, at one point I felt so harassed I became suicidal cause I felt that was the only way to escape him. He spread false rumours about me and was very sexist and said "You need a man to protect you, a little woman like you cant think for herself" etc. Gross. This has happened with multiple guys, not just one. It makes you scared to leave the house, it makes you scared that your family is in danger, I kept visualizing someone staring at me through the windows, I was afraid of the windows. Its suffocating and should be taken seriously. Some of the worst thing, is that in my country, Norway, if someone googles your name, your adress and even a pic of your house and your phone number comes up immediately. Ive tried many times to get them to delete it, but its impossible. Which means anyone who knows my name, knows exactly where I live and my phone number. I absolutely hate it cuz im a very private person who likes to be left alone.
That’s the internet, it’s never safe, and will never be. You can’t get rid of it as much you and i would like it. Irrelevant to the topic do you play any video games by chance?
My husband is South Korean and we often watch Korean news. They have sign language interpreters on EVERY news broadcast! In Australia we only have it for emergencies etc. I was so impressed!
I'm from Venezuela and we have them in all the news, pretty sure is the same for all Latin America too, I thought it was a standard thing around the world!
Indeed it is! I feel like I have watched EVERY true crime video in existence and I’ve seen soooo many channels covering the same cases a million times, so it definitely is a treat any time someone drops a video based on cases I’ve never heard of. I’m running out of stuff to watch :,( what I’m saying might come off sounding really fu*ked up lol as if I’m complaining that not enough people are being murdered to provide content creators with new cases. Please don’t take it that way 😂
@@deftones8717 lot of peope do get murdered, it is just that lot of cases doesnt have enough detail or wasnt recorded, making it harder to tell a story about it.
@@deftones8717 yea, for family stuff it is usually even more harder, more closed and secretive, so you wont be able to search lots of stuff like that, but usually people will confess of parental abuse, i have watch parental abuse video and a bunch of people in the comment section just start to tell their own story, there's a lot of them, probably one of them is dead now, who knows.
@@deftones8717 well i actually got a news of some parent killing their own kid on the beginning of this pandemic, now it is getting quiet, i dont know whether it is over or still continued and they just stop making a news about it.
I love that you post small scale, not commonly heard of cases, it goes to show that just because you don’t always hear about it, there’s still monsters out there
I love how you do your absolute best to pronounce names correctly. It might be a minor thing, but it brings people a small joy. Sincerely, A person with an inpronouncable name in English
This was so well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. So well told with respect to the victims. The research, the details👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you so much for this. And your voice is so soothing and calm. 😅. Good job👏🏽👏🏽
Stalking is a serious issue which several legislators doesn't take seriously until an incident like this happens in their jurisdiction. The dead victims cannot accept a shallow apology.
As a korean i’m so happy to see you cover a story from my homeland! (Although I’m not very happy that the whole ordeal occurred in the first place. Rest in peace to the victims.) Awesome video as always, always look forward to your content!
the fact stalking is taken so lightly basically everywhere, when it so often leads to terrible crimes against the one stalked... and regardless, the stalking in and of itself should be a punishable crime. it must be a frightening experience. if someone does not wish to interact with you and has made it very clear, there should not be a reason in the world why you should be permitted to keep trying to contant them.. at some point of this cycle authorities must have the duty to intervene and prevent such harassment
There's a difference between being rejected, but still trying to win over that person's heart through respect, love, and whatever love language you follow UNTIL you know it's never going to happen. And straight up stalking and harassing someone, and not respecting that person and their boundaries at all.
I love the orderly manner your videos are done in. The chapters are great, and you’ve got a genuinely rare ability to make any location, feel familiar to the listener/watcher.
I like that he also doesn't stick to talking about cases just in the West like most other channels do. It's hard to find and talk about cases in other parts of the world but it's definitely worth talking about.
I've seen a few crazy instances of stalking while teaching English in Japan, mainly from the students. One male teacher had this crazy female student writing him letters that would make Ted Bundy run away screaming. Best thing was that the school didn't take it seriously at first, even after they saw the letters. He pretty much had to threaten to get the cops involved before they did anything. I personally (A 6 foot guy) did have the beginnings of a male stalker which I took care of myself before it got worse. Even after the school kicked him out, I was watching my back for a good three months as this dude was off the planet. This lax attitude seems to have been a thing in Asian countries for some time but thankfully the authorities are now taking it far more seriously.
@@jen5138 I’m sure the same thing has been considered an offence in many Asian countries. The point the video (and I) were making is the attitude towards these offences were lax but are improving by leaps and bounds.
@@ondrejsedlak4935 Actually I heard the laws in SK are f-ed up. Maybe it's changed recently but their laws generally don't protect their women from such acts hence sexual harassment is pretty rampant there. What I'm saying is you shouldn't generalise the whole of Asia.
@@jen5138 Sorry what is wrong with saying things are improving in Asia. Did I make a woke no no? Oops. My wife who is Asian, agrees Asian countries were ineffective in terms of harrassment but are taking steps to be more proactive. Some lag more behind than others but it is improving in all of them. That's just reality.
so happy i found this channel it’s so well and detailed cases always makes me happy to see a new upload every monday thank you for always giving us the best content
I spent 6 months in South Korea about 10 years ago and loved it almost as much as I loved Okinawa. Seoul was a great city and I was there every weekend.
You are a great story teller. The tone of the video and the explicit cases that you pick in each video is very refreshing. Looking forward to more and more such videos. Great content and awesome presentation!
I used to go to pc bangs with my friends before when I was still studying in Korea. Glad that our house was near the pc bang makes it less scarier. Tbh it was very scary to go home alone at night (not just in korea). Stalking, for some reason is very common in korea which is so scary
kinda related but in Japan too. There was a time when I went to Japam for a short vacation someone kept on following me. I reported it to the police, but ofc nothing happened...
"One of the most digitally advanced countries in the world." I agree. I lived there for 6 years. It felt like they were a few years ahead of America when I lived there.
Love that you chose the name Ahri, great LOL champ and it probably was recognized by any LOL players watching. Thanks for this one, it was really fascinating and unknown to me. RIP to a fellow gamer and her family. ❤
12:37 the fact that he just looks like a normal anti-social person but with murderous thoughts walking around is so scary. how could anyone know he's going to kill that day. this is why you can't blame women for their fear of men outside.
Just an update for anyone who's watched this. On January 19, 2022, it was reported that the Seoul High Court confirmed a lower court's life imprisonment for Kim Tae-hyun, 26, commenting "his life-in-prison sentence should be completely executed without a parole." The lower court accepted prosecutors' claim that the killings of all three were premeditated, although it came short of giving the death penalty demanded by the prosecution.
I honestly love the feel of these. It just feels like we’re all sitting down in a coffee shop by the window or by the fire or even out under an umbrella, and our boy is just telling us all these well researched crime stories as we all just sit with our drinks and listen intently, so good!
The reason I love coffee house crime is because they cover stories from different countries’ cases that you usually don’t see getting covered especially in English
South Korea is indeed a beautiful and safe country but the two flaws this country has is stalking & bullying I felt safe when I went to Korea back in 2019 nothing bad happened to me and koreans were pretty nice and helpful I never felt scared or anything what I liked about their police is that they provide a service where u can ask to be taken home either by car or just a police officer walking with you and also they are in constant vigilance so it's pretty safe but they do have to do something regarding stalking and bullying as they have gotten way out of hand otherwise it's almost a perfect country.
You do an amazing job on these stories and are very respectful to the victims. I love your channel, and I'm glad to see that your growing steadily. Thanks for the awesome entertainment, and I wish you the best going forward! :)
If I can, I would like to recommend the 2020 Nova Scotia attacks. This happened in April of last year, and it was a huge thing for everyone in our area. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I think the victims deserve some attention.
They were staged by the communist Trudeau govt in order to take your guns away. In America we won’t let our guns be taken but you commies up north do you
i’ve been studying for HOURS and meanwhile checking my phone all morning for your upload so i could give myself a well deserved coffeebreak. i’m so happy rn, thanks 😩❤️🩹
@@princeofcupspoc9073 no, why ironically? i have a lot of stuff i have to finish before tonight, so it was actually nice to recieve a notification and watch this as a break from all that :) the crime is horrendous but i enjoy his investigation and story-telling abilities.
Adrian, I love and appreciate you and your channel so much ❤ I find myself checking your channel all the time for new uploads. The style of your videos and they way you make sure the victims are talked about just as much as the ones who took them from us is so sweet and restores my faith in humanity. Keep it up! 🙌🏻 💝
Obviously posting an address online is a bad idea, but he would have found it sooner or later anyway. Following her home was probably something he already thought of. What a sick person.
Damn i never heard about this! My first boyfriend in korea was a stalker and pretty abusive. It was like a snowball. Completely different person when we first started dating. Luckily i got out before things got worse. Korea is pretty hush hush about all the crime that goes on here.
Some men just sicken me. I can't possibly imagine what it's like being a women in this world, having to live your life differently due to things completely out of your control.
I gotta say I like this channel a lot. You do a great job humanizing the victim, something that news and some other channels don’t do. And keeping on the facts with also familiarizing the place where the crime happened. I like it.
Here in the Philippines we also have PC Bangs (Internet Cafe) 24 hours open and serves with hot noodles or fried noodles with comfy chair and wide screen which really gives comfort. Sadly, I don’t think they still operate because of Covid restrictions but I miss those comfort nights in the Internet Cafe.
You really show talent and passion in making your videos, detailed and perfectly narrated. I'm bipolar and they're helping me a lot. Now that I've discovered your channel, I'll stick to it, while drinking tea :) Thanks!
I wish that people could please help. In August someone I knew and I was lonely after COVID, but he came out and terrorized me for a month HE won't leave help
We are back to our Monday schedule, and in South Korea for the first time! Above all else, this case will teach you the importance of keeping your address free from social media. Have you ever experienced a stalker? What steps do you take to keep yourself safe? Let me know below.
Stay safe, and see you again next Monday! - Adrian.
Back to original schedule, nice
Could you please do a video on Dale Cregan?
Great episode, thank you 😊👍
This kid needed help. How awful for this poor family...great video!
Yes, twice. I've had to move, change my phone number, and once i changed my name. I don't use social media, and i never post anything specific on the rare occasion that i do. I wish I knew more about self defense. I feel that's a really important skill to have. Also i built a support group of people i could trust. I have roommates that are badass now and im no longer living in fear. (Also 10 years of therapy.)
That being said, my best friend is someone i met through online gaming and I've gone 5000 miles across the world just to hang out and those were absolutely some of the best times of my life. But i took precautions too. I didn't travel alone, i took a friend.
Meeting someone you met online for the first time can be magic. But always always always be safe and guard your own back. Don't isolate yourself, but be skeptical of everyone until they've earned your trust. Because you can think you know someone and they turn out to be your worst nightmare. Trust your instincts. That's my best advice. Stay safe, fellow heartbeats. ❤️
Her FRIENDS continued to hang out with this person after he started harassing her? Like, she actually had to avoid her friend group sometimes because of him???? That makes this even more terribly sad 😔
If they all played League of Legends...it's a highly competitive game, he was probably better at it than her.
@@MrYelly So they weren't really friends then...
@@DM-fp8rr Doesn’t sound like he was excusing it, just explaining why they probably still hung out with the guy.
...that's excusing it numb nuts. any reason u hang out with ur friend's a abuser is wrong. no one cares why they might have kept hanging with him, what matters is that they did & they were wrong & in a way they contributed to his behavior
@@dceezy15 Where did the original replier say that it was okay though? He explained the friends potential reasoning, the replier in no way, shape or form said that what they did was cool.
When I was a young, young girl, I was stalked for over a year. Every place I went, wasn't old enough to drive, that man followed me. Police were called regularly, but said they could do nothing until he did something to me. That was comforting. He finally stopped when my mother rammed her car into his. Words were exchanged, items were shown to him, and I never saw him again. I was a lucky one, for sure!
Your mom is a badass! I’m so glad she was able to scare him away from you.
Mad props to your mom!
I'm glad they don't just arrest people based on a single accusation; to have your freedom taken away solely on a someone's accusation - no other evidence, just their words - is not a justice system I personally would want to live in.
Because in that world someone who simply doesn't like you would merely have to accuse and the accused's entire life would be hobbled by a "criminal" background.
There's a reason police can't and don't do anything without it being _in flagrante delicto_ (meaning they witness it happen in their capacity as LE) or until there are substantiated patterns or further evidence that the accusation has enough merit to _immediately_ take away someone's freedom (via arrest).
At the very least I'm hoping the reasonable people agree that a single incident of stalking isn't grounds for arrest (unless, of course, other criminal things occurs, like assault - but that's it's own thing and not stalking), but that they should call if there are subsequent acts OR - one exception for the single incident - if the stalking went from quiet and just weird/unsettling to an actual verbal threat.
Otherwise, you can move to a country that has such martial authoritarian law-type justice, like North Korea or Somalia. Sure you will love it there
@@egregiousqueef7781 reasonable people also see stalking someone for a year (if we believe OP) as a pattern as you've described. There's a difference between what you're making it seem like and what is actually described in the comment you're replying to.
@@egregiousqueef7781 are you dumb? Stalkers actually HURT people, significantly lower quality of life and are, as unstable and unhealthy individuals, DANGEROUS. This is the system we need exactly- protecting victims of stalking. If you're scared police might come for you - well, looks like you have something to hide.

A lot of Asian media still glorifies stalking, jealousy and stuff like that. If one person relentlessly pursues the other and they eventually give in, that's often seen as super romantic. Just look at how many people think Killing Stalking is actually romantic. Or take any of the anime out there where one person regularly forces themselves onto the other and everyone swoons.
Truly sorry for anyone who has to deal with this.. Stay safe out there folks!
Right. Honestly disgusting how they romanticize Killing Stalking, the writer even stated that it is NOT a romance. If the main lead wasn’t “attractive”, people wont even try and swoon over them.
So? Women are supposed to live under pressure. Don’t like it? Stay inside and never go outside.
@@ViciVidiVeni I'd say he successfully baited future stalkers lmao.
I've heard of killing stalking but when I saw the snippets of the manwa I was like "NAAAAAH" still curious tho but keep forgetting to check it out. But after reading some of the comments about how heavily romanticizing the manwa was I stop completely.
@@ViciVidiVeni Well yea just look at these teen drama's nowadays. They romanticize abuse and just because the man is attractive the girls think it's ok. It's super creepy and it's sad that these girls see that as romance..

@@skullladymalady I don't think remorse is a known emotion to him. Otherwise, after so many harassement, if he had remorse, he would have send her a last message, excusing himself, and stopped contacting her entirely, going on his way in life. But he continued and prepared a murder, ended up doing 3 and lived days with corpses beside him.
@@itsmefm if u die its easy much better they will suffer first
@@itsmefm I'm satisfied, he can feel time going slow, he should suffer and rot in hell. People should not think about conditions being humane, when their victims were killed inhumanely.
It always infuriates me that stalking is still taken so lightly, sometimes even laughed at. It is terrifying, it can ruin your life, and it definitely messes you up mentally. South Korea as well as other far east Asian countries have sadly still a very long way to go in that matter. This is a step in the right direction, such a shame only after a tragedy like that.
The US isn't much better. They get a restraining order but not as much as a slap on the wrist if its violated. My sister was stalked for years and no one did shit. The guy finally moved on but it could have went a lot worse. Justice systems all over the world are crap.
@@AbsyntheAndTears Why didn't you do something about it?
@@AbsyntheAndTears The legal system is not the solution to mental issues. Plus another issue with addressing stalking as a criminal problem is it will open the door to the pre-crime punishment concept. We need another system like the police but as first responders trained to identify and address social and mental issues separate to legal and criminal problems. Because loading everything on the cops/legal system is not working. Stalking should not be ignored but making it criminal before addressing the cause is just lazy and wrong.
I had an ex boyfriend stalk and harass me for six months after the relationship ended. It was awful. It even involves my parents which was horrible for them too. I didn’t bother with the police (I live in the UK) because I knew they wouldn’t do anything about it; here you have to get to the point where you’re literally in mortal danger before they will act. It’s ridiculous. It’s not just Asia that has a problem seeing stalking as a real crime.

Horrible experience.
Yeah but saying shit like that kinda makes you sound super crazy so
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 - Saying shit like what? Wishing his victims to rest in peace? Elaborate. Or do you mean stabbing my stalker 13 times? Hey man, the cops wouldn't help, the stalker wouldn't stop so I took matters into my own hands, that doesn't make me crazy af, just @ my ropes end. He survived & guess what?! He also stopped stalking me! Since the cops didn't have the balls to teach him a lesson, I did! And maybe because I begged the cops for help to no avail, maybe I did flip my lid a little. After begging EVERY organization for help to no avail, yeah, you do lose faith in all those organizations that promise to help you. So unless you have been in my shoes AND my frame of mind over a situation as serious as stalking, with the guy threatening to stab & kill me, just keep your mouth shut. I took matters into my own hands AND IT WORKED, period! Nobody would help me so I helped myself! What was I supposed too do?! Just lay down & allow him to stab me to death?! Think before you speak, especially about a subject you know NOTHING about, ok. I don't mean to put you down but you have NO idea what you are speaking of!

My girlfriend recalls the same opinion as above, and that he was quiet, only messed around when his so called "friends" did.

Before this incident, it was very well known to the S Korean public that the police tend to take stalking very lightly when reported, claiming they had no authority to do anything (true to a degree since they had zero legal basis) unless actual infringement of rights or actual bodily harm was done. Efforts to reform the outdated laws regarding prosecuting stalkers seemed to be the lowest of the lowest priority for policymakers... Thankfully this changed a lot of that. Ari and her family will have a lasting and unforgettable legacy
It’s hard to define a stalker, a neighbour who works the same job as you and returns home the same way might be mistaken as a stalker and unnecessary police time is wasted and the neighbour is bothered if you report them.
@@1mol831 Well, there is a slight difference of a simple neighbour you don't really know because you don't talk to him/her walking everytime the same street but doing nothing and someone spamming you of calls and messages
@@moreauclement9702 true but not every stalker does those things.
I really like the south korean law that protects victims identities!! It's so important yet somehow many countries don't have them...

I bet you also protest for 'equality', but only when it suits 'feminism'
That's so scary what she went through, not just at the end but everything she had to do just to try to get him to stop harassing her. And the collateral damage he left behind was jaw-dropping! This was a good one, Adrian, in so many ways.
you should spend less time on youtube and more time on the treadmill tubby
He “accidentally” killed two innocent people, when he really only wanted to kill the third innocent person?? How ‘bout he just learns to feel remorse for having even SOUGHT to kill anyone in the first place? Some people just don’t know how to take “No!” for an answer! It doesn’t matter why; ANY REJECTION IS ENOUGH of a reason for you to LEAVE SOMEONE ALONE! Sex is not a right!
He didn't even kill them accidentally,he killed them purposely to avenge as much as possible for the rejection,he obviously came prepared to kill her family too,that makes him one of the most dangerous incels out there
"Sex is not a right" Easy to say if you'll never get laid regardless
@@shepherdrm8486 Do sick peeps like u ever think a bit? I have tried, and your comments make no sense.
@@shepherdrm8486 Quite the opposite. Incels these days think they are entitled to sex from a hot girl. They would say they DO have a right to sex and it's being denied them. Their echo chambers are terrifying places.
That’s the angry incel, they should direct their anger to the correct person, which is politicians, because they are the root of all of their problems. Even though they themselves have the means to slightly improve their own situation.
I live in Seoul and my friend currently has an ongoing case with a stalker. It's a big problem here...
In a sense, I actually like how they won't reveal the names of victims. It's not uncommon that the news in the western world is where families first learn of the deaths of their loved ones, the police don't even have time to inform the families personally. This also gives families the ability to cope with the loss of their loved ones without media crawling all over them like maggots.
Media typically know so families are far from being left in peace. In media coverage they just have the obligation to not use their names and to either mozaik their faces or display a black band on a recognizable part like the eyes... 🤷🏾♀️
In case people don't know, Kim is the last/family name, Taehyun the first name.
Thank you this is the only thing that bothered me throughout the video 🤣

@@lullabylibra Ayyy fellow monbebe ^^
@@nonamec1391 it actually felt somewhat more natural then some other videos because I’m used to people being referred to by family name in news coverage, particularly in S.

I've been a victim of two separate stalkers during the same period. My life was literal hell since at least one of them was always stalking me. One of them stayed far and kept smiling creepily all the time and the other one straight up tried to talk to me any way possible. One night I was on my way home, as usual the shadow was behind me and when he said he liked me I made it clear that I'm not interested and turned around. He literally threw a brick just beside me to stop me and I ran for my life. Luckily we soon moved to a new place coincidentally since I didn't tell my family about it and I'm finally free from both stalkers.
Fucking hell, I hope you never encounter any weird assholes like that again. Two stalkers. Jesus.
@@catboysephiroth560 Yes thank you for your words. I'm glad that I'm free now and hope that no one has to go through that.
If it happens again, I think you should let them know. So that God forbid anything should happen they are in the loop.
@@eonmind932 Yes you're right. I just didn't want to make them worried but letting them know is the right thing to do.
That's so sad. I had a stalker also and it's horrible. Just be really careful because the stalker harassing me appeared again after 13 years and he even went to the cities I was living without me knowing. He wasn't able to find me because I literally deleted everyone on my social media so he couldn't know where I live, and I also changed my phone number. Also anyone who put up photos of where I live (my old mother in law ugh) I just deleted and do not talk to. So my stalker has no way of knowing where I am or who I'm friends with. It sucks, but he was an absolute maniac.
Omg I kid you not, I was just thinking how I haven’t heard/seen someone cover a stalker related crime story in some time and of course my favorite crime channel delivered. Thank you so much for bringing light to this case Adrian ❤️
I am so glad there are not many such time waster cafes where I live. It’s truly a vengeful heart that cannot let someone whom you love, but doesn’t love you, go. If you really love someone let them free as their happiness is important to you.

As a fellow gamer, I know the deep sadness of getting off after a long night of playing with a good friend, getting on to play again the next day only to be met with disappointment, as time goes by you assume maybe they’ve gone on with their lives… but some don’t ever get that closure and are left wondering until the memories fade (if they ever do). My heart goes out to the remaining family as well as the victim’s friends both irl and online.
Yeah a man's wife told his online buddies he pasted away
yeah, so many stories behind those not logging in again. for one his wife logged in after a few days because he probably told her that he had made friends in that game to tell us that he died from a heart attack, another one disappeared for a month and suddenly logged in again and told us that he got thrown out by his family and was struggling to get a new home and access to internet, yet another that was active every day was suddenly never seen again and I can just hope that he found something or someone in his life that made him happier than the video games and that one day he will just pop in to say hello and how everything is great
Ahh PC Bangs/Net Cafes. Used to hang out in them almost every day during my college years playing whatever online games were incredibly popular back then. Good times....I feel old.
Not going to lie, a few years ago I was on a three month holiday in Thailand. Towards the end of it when things were getting a little same-same, Overwatch was released and I went hardcore at their PC Bangs! Was such a cool experience, it's like half-restaurant/half gaming, and the fancier ones feel like you're in some sort of industrial bar. Would love that sort of thing in the western world!

They didn't even have video games while I was in college. Start eating right and getting fit NOW. Wear sunscreen and focus on the positive. Fasting rewinds the clock!
Wait. Western doesn't have PC bangs.? Or they rarely exist or something?

I hate this, Ive experienced all the same stalking as she experienced, from people online. All the same tactics, making a new account and pretend to be a new person and befriending me. Its so disturbing, at one point I felt so harassed I became suicidal cause I felt that was the only way to escape him. He spread false rumours about me and was very sexist and said "You need a man to protect you, a little woman like you cant think for herself" etc. Gross. This has happened with multiple guys, not just one. It makes you scared to leave the house, it makes you scared that your family is in danger, I kept visualizing someone staring at me through the windows, I was afraid of the windows. Its suffocating and should be taken seriously.
Some of the worst thing, is that in my country, Norway, if someone googles your name, your adress and even a pic of your house and your phone number comes up immediately. Ive tried many times to get them to delete it, but its impossible. Which means anyone who knows my name, knows exactly where I live and my phone number. I absolutely hate it cuz im a very private person who likes to be left alone.

Stalking is a serious issue which several legislators doesn't take seriously until an incident like this happens in their jurisdiction. The dead victims cannot accept a shallow apology.
As a korean i’m so happy to see you cover a story from my homeland! (Although I’m not very happy that the whole ordeal occurred in the first place. Rest in peace to the victims.) Awesome video as always, always look forward to your content!
the fact stalking is taken so lightly basically everywhere, when it so often leads to terrible crimes against the one stalked... and regardless, the stalking in and of itself should be a punishable crime. it must be a frightening experience. if someone does not wish to interact with you and has made it very clear, there should not be a reason in the world why you should be permitted to keep trying to contant them.. at some point of this cycle authorities must have the duty to intervene and prevent such harassment
You are right on the money. Stalking should be taken very serious. People that don't leave people alone are not right in the head and dangerous.
There's a difference between being rejected, but still trying to win over that person's heart through respect, love, and whatever love language you follow UNTIL you know it's never going to happen.
And straight up stalking and harassing someone, and not respecting that person and their boundaries at all.
I love the orderly manner your videos are done in. The chapters are great, and you’ve got a genuinely rare ability to make any location, feel familiar to the listener/watcher.
I really admire your work, there aren’t many true crime youtubers who take cases seriously
I like that he also doesn't stick to talking about cases just in the West like most other channels do. It's hard to find and talk about cases in other parts of the world but it's definitely worth talking about.
The tribute, the voice, the story telling... Subscribed.
I've seen a few crazy instances of stalking while teaching English in Japan, mainly from the students. One male teacher had this crazy female student writing him letters that would make Ted Bundy run away screaming. Best thing was that the school didn't take it seriously at first, even after they saw the letters. He pretty much had to threaten to get the cops involved before they did anything.
I personally (A 6 foot guy) did have the beginnings of a male stalker which I took care of myself before it got worse. Even after the school kicked him out, I was watching my back for a good three months as this dude was off the planet.
This lax attitude seems to have been a thing in Asian countries for some time but thankfully the authorities are now taking it far more seriously.
Not all Asian countries though. In Singapore, it's considered harassment and is an offence.
@@jen5138 I’m sure the same thing has been considered an offence in many Asian countries.
The point the video (and I) were making is the attitude towards these offences were lax but are improving by leaps and bounds.
@@ondrejsedlak4935 Actually I heard the laws in SK are f-ed up. Maybe it's changed recently but their laws generally don't protect their women from such acts hence sexual harassment is pretty rampant there. What I'm saying is you shouldn't generalise the whole of Asia.
@@jen5138 Sorry what is wrong with saying things are improving in Asia.
Did I make a woke no no? Oops.
My wife who is Asian, agrees Asian countries were ineffective in terms of harrassment but are taking steps to be more proactive. Some lag more behind than others but it is improving in all of them.
That's just reality.
@@ondrejsedlak4935 ya, cos I'm sure it's much "safer" where you are from.
You're one of criminal case's narrator that I enjoy watch at normal speed because your voice is so calming and the case's also interesting.
so happy i found this channel it’s so well and detailed cases always makes me happy to see a new upload every monday thank you for always giving us the best content
I love the fact that you named her Ari, because there's a character in League called Ahri. On purpose or not, great pun.
i really hope you’ll do a random case from turkey & the netherlands :) looking forward to it, and trust me, there’s a lot to look into
sus
@@wingocustom haha, no lies here though. there’s geniunely and very sadly some weird cases there so i’d like to see him cover one
What are some weird cases in The Netherlands?
He should cover the story about Milly Boele or Anne Faber
"A man that could not take no for an answer." = that's not a man, that's a failed human.
Great episode!
I spent 6 months in South Korea about 10 years ago and loved it almost as much as I loved Okinawa. Seoul was a great city and I was there every weekend.
You are a great story teller. The tone of the video and the explicit cases that you pick in each video is very refreshing. Looking forward to more and more such videos. Great content and awesome presentation!
I used to go to pc bangs with my friends before when I was still studying in Korea. Glad that our house was near the pc bang makes it less scarier. Tbh it was very scary to go home alone at night (not just in korea). Stalking, for some reason is very common in korea which is so scary
kinda related but in Japan too. There was a time when I went to Japam for a short vacation someone kept on following me. I reported it to the police, but ofc nothing happened...
"One of the most digitally advanced countries in the world." I agree. I lived there for 6 years. It felt like they were a few years ahead of America when I lived there.
China, Korea and Japan are all decades ahead of amerikka. Especially China. And I'm saying this as an American and ive lived in all 4 countries.
@@icephoenix3565 China still has a lot of rural and poor areas though, so overall I find it hard to believe it's the most advanced.
@@icephoenix3565 "decades ahead". Ummm no thats not correct
@@icephoenix3565 and as for china what good is tech when u have restricted access to the internet from your cult of a government ya know
@@LargeInCharge77 lmao the firewall is just for show. Everyone uses vpns. The fact you think the internet is restricted proves how delusional you are
Increase stalking charges even in the USA would be a step forward.
Love that you chose the name Ahri, great LOL champ and it probably was recognized by any LOL players watching. Thanks for this one, it was really fascinating and unknown to me. RIP to a fellow gamer and her family. ❤
12:37 the fact that he just looks like a normal anti-social person but with murderous thoughts walking around is so scary. how could anyone know he's going to kill that day. this is why you can't blame women for their fear of men outside.
Agreed, we could be around these people at anytime of our lives.. just be cautious..
Just an update for anyone who's watched this.
On January 19, 2022, it was reported that the Seoul High Court confirmed a lower court's life imprisonment for Kim Tae-hyun, 26, commenting "his life-in-prison sentence should be completely executed without a parole."
The lower court accepted prosecutors' claim that the killings of all three were premeditated, although it came short of giving the death penalty demanded by the prosecution.
I honestly love the feel of these. It just feels like we’re all sitting down in a coffee shop by the window or by the fire or even out under an umbrella, and our boy is just telling us all these well researched crime stories as we all just sit with our drinks and listen intently, so good!
The reason I love coffee house crime is because they cover stories from different countries’ cases that you usually don’t see getting covered especially in English
Your voice is pleasing for narration, you cover interesting and mysterious topics and a nice aesthetic with it. Keep up the good work man.
These videos are so well made that you can watch several episodes in a row!
I really appreciate all the time you take to get little details right such as pronouncing foreign names correctly.
South Korea is indeed a beautiful and safe country but the two flaws this country has is stalking & bullying I felt safe when I went to Korea back in 2019 nothing bad happened to me and koreans were pretty nice and helpful I never felt scared or anything what I liked about their police is that they provide a service where u can ask to be taken home either by car or just a police officer walking with you and also they are in constant vigilance so it's pretty safe but they do have to do something regarding stalking and bullying as they have gotten way out of hand otherwise it's almost a perfect country.
Please start making this as a podcast as well, it would save me so much data lol
You do an amazing job on these stories and are very respectful to the victims. I love your channel, and I'm glad to see that your growing steadily. Thanks for the awesome entertainment, and I wish you the best going forward! :)
This guy narrating really seems like the nicest dude lol I can’t picture him being pissed or even raising his voice
Another day, another crime channel I just subscribed to.
If I can, I would like to recommend the 2020 Nova Scotia attacks. This happened in April of last year, and it was a huge thing for everyone in our area. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I think the victims deserve some attention.
They were staged by the communist Trudeau govt in order to take your guns away. In America we won’t let our guns be taken but you commies up north do you
@@realalcibiades2909 You have no clue what you're talking about
@@realalcibiades2909 wtf are you talking about
Balance has been restored, finally a monday episode again. Thank you.
I am happy to say I have never physically met anyone on the internet. The more crime shows I watch the more thankful I am.
It’s crazy how you can see him climbing up the ladder as far as criminal offenses to eventually murdering people
I heart his first sentence. I liked his voice, presentation, everything. I subscribed. Worthy ❤
Cops laughed at me and told me I should be flattered ...of a stalker in BC Canada!
i’ve been studying for HOURS and meanwhile checking my phone all morning for your upload so i could give myself a well deserved coffeebreak. i’m so happy rn, thanks 😩❤️🩹
I sincerely hope you meant that ironically.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 no, why ironically? i have a lot of stuff i have to finish before tonight, so it was actually nice to recieve a notification and watch this as a break from all that :) the crime is horrendous but i enjoy his investigation and story-telling abilities.
Funfact: Ahri is also a league of Legends champion. If this is the actual name media reffered to her as then it might have been her main
Adrian, I love and appreciate you and your channel so much ❤ I find myself checking your channel all the time for new uploads. The style of your videos and they way you make sure the victims are talked about just as much as the ones who took them from us is so sweet and restores my faith in humanity. Keep it up! 🙌🏻 💝
As a side note - Kim is his family name, his first name is Tae-Hyun :) amazing coverage, as always
Obviously posting an address online is a bad idea, but he would have found it sooner or later anyway. Following her home was probably something he already thought of. What a sick person.
Damn i never heard about this! My first boyfriend in korea was a stalker and pretty abusive. It was like a snowball. Completely different person when we first started dating. Luckily i got out before things got worse. Korea is pretty hush hush about all the crime that goes on here.
Some men just sicken me. I can't possibly imagine what it's like being a women in this world, having to live your life differently due to things completely out of your control.
I gotta say I like this channel a lot. You do a great job humanizing the victim, something that news and some other channels don’t do. And keeping on the facts with also familiarizing the place where the crime happened. I like it.
Stalking is a Mental Health issue and sadly overlooked by law enforcement.
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Now wait a minute normally you got issues to
@@nickkuhlman5515 Not to this point 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
My new favorite crime channel! Watched every video over the weekend and I’m hooked!
Here in the Philippines we also have PC Bangs (Internet Cafe) 24 hours open and serves with hot noodles or fried noodles with comfy chair and wide screen which really gives comfort. Sadly, I don’t think they still operate because of Covid restrictions but I miss those comfort nights in the Internet Cafe.
You really show talent and passion in making your videos, detailed and perfectly narrated. I'm bipolar and they're helping me a lot. Now that I've discovered your channel, I'll stick to it, while drinking tea :)
Thanks!
That's why joining military is a double edged sword.
I wish that people could please help. In August someone I knew and I was lonely after COVID, but he came out and terrorized me for a month
HE won't leave help
