South Korea is reeling after police revealed the motive behind the brutal killing of TikTok influencer Yoon Ji-ah, a crime allegedly born out of obsession, jealousy, and delusion. The suspect, a 50-year-old man identified only as Choi, confessed to murdering the 27-year-old rising star after she tried to end their relationship.
Yoon’s body was found on 11 September on a mountainside in Muju County, North Jeolla Province, bearing signs of strangulation.

Dangerously obsessed fans have been around since long before the Internet entered people’s lives - tech has just made it much easier to stalk people now.
And now, most of them seem to be in positions of power, where they can genocide, traffick, and rape all they want.
Absolutely, its so much worse now. South Korea has a massive problem with it's "idol" culture too, it's batshit insane. Wouldn't suprise me if most of her viewers thought they were going to be her boyfriend.
