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.
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 :(
Right? I listen to true crime a lot and many cases happened 5, 10, 20 or even more years ago and they're horrible ofc, but when there's a case that happened this recently it just somehow feels even more...real, and scary.
No kidding... Sure, listening to stories that happened in the past is creepy; but something about reading/listening to stories that are incredibly recent is even more haunting than the former..
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..
@@immovableobject-o6j 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.
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.
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.
It’s mad to me that stalking is considered a misdemeanour and people can just get off with a warning after violating a person’s personal space and livelihood like that. I wish it was taken so much more seriously
@@1mol831 obviously that’s not stalking until it becomes a habit, someone just conveniently getting off the same bus stop doesn’t mean they’re stalking you. It’s a pattern of behaviour AND if in any case, the person is wrong about it, then they should be dealt with accordingly
@@user-es4zw1yh2l I usually happen to get off at the same stop as someone who lives next door and goes to a similar workplace. I think I'm not stalking them.
@@1mol831 of course not, it isn’t stalking dw. You just both happen to work in a similar environment and take the same route, nothing weird ab that :) It’s just people who are consistently in another persons life without there being anything in common is when it gets weird
stalking is one of those crimes that isn't easy to prosecute or punish by its very nature. they also can't punish someone who hasn't broken any laws. someone popping up in your life when they don't have a reason to is weird, yes, but it isn't a crime. someone blowing up your phone isn't a crime either, neither is walking behind someone at night. unless they change the law, this isn't going to change. you can't punish someone who did nothing wrong (legally), nor can you violate their freedom for no reason. sucks but that is the way it is.
As a Korean, thank you for putting in the effort into the pronunciation! Great job! Also very sweet of you for naming her Ahri as one of the main characters in Lol.
@@brendanm132 well, it's probably because most westerners can't pronounce some sounds that most of us Asians can do. Also, it should be pronounced A-ri (아리). A-li (알리) is spelled this way. But, as I have learned during my now almost 4 years of learning the language, I often hear them pronounce differently. It's like a weird sound in between "L" and "R". And also, hangeul is almost a "not romanization friendly" language. That's why is pretty debatable when it comes to romanizing korean words. That's the very first thing they taught us. Learn hangeul in hangeul, not by using romanization 😅
@@cliffordsantillan6046 yea romanizations suck, but typically 리을 can be romanized into L or R. I've seen both. Wouldn't call either wrong. 알리 is a different sound from 아리 tho
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.
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.
My mother had a stalker when we were living together, he would sit across the road and watch the house and come on to the place at night but he always used to do it when I wasn't there, I used my mothers car one night and he made the mistake of approaching it, I got out and told him to look in my eyes, I then told him I had money and was going to pay someone to visit him (he wasn't the only one that could find out where a person was living) I then told him what they were going to do to him and that I was more than happy to face charges if he came around again. I guess he knew I was serious and we never saw him again. I'm not sorry and would do it again. When the police can't or won't help you, you have the right to defend yourself, remember that. It makes me sad and angry that 3 lives are lost to a dog that isn't sorry, if he was sorry he wouldn't have done it, I hope he gets death.
I love that you do lesser known cases in different countries, rather than just rehashing famous American cases like most other RUclips content creators. Love your work bud.
Stalking isn’t taken seriously enough anywhere. But it can be an accurate predictor of the future. Sadly, too many fall victims as nobody takes it seriously.
Bcuz you never know how serious it is, truthfully it's very preventable when taking matters into your own hands but it does cost alot of money bcuz you basically would have to move like a celebrity
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!!!
Another problem with stalking not being taken as seriously is the romanization of it. Media has made it like a symbol of love. Sure you see the opposite too. Also, the rise of yandere and people loving the idea of someone that crazy being in love with someone is scary. I stumbled across it trying to figure out what it was exactly and I noped right out.
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!
It’s insane how most countries take the act of stalking so lightly. Stories like this really scare me from online dating and meeting new people. May their souls Rest In Peace!🙏🏾 Hope you’re enjoying your new place, Adrian! Take good care of yourself too!
The problem with stalking is, that it's actually very hard to objectively decide if somebody is stalking somebody else, unless it's a extreme and rather obvious case.
@@dehydratedculture9126 well, that's a pity some people still want to date and they're not all from Alabama, so dating relatives is not an option for some of us. ""Random"" people is all that's left. Also, I once went on 1 (one) date with a guy from my college, knew him for a couple of years before that. BOOM one date and he turned into a creepy stalker to the point I needed someone to walk me home every day after college. So.... some people are just sick.
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👍
In most cases it's a man, but there was a case in North America, of a female doctor (someone in a respected position, a profession that's supposed to save lives) Shirley Turner, who killed another doctor she had been involved with after he broke up with her. She later fled back to Canada (the crime was in the U.S.) and ended up committing a homicide suicide by giving her baby (the child of the affair with the other doctor) anti-anxiety medication and jumping off the end of a wharf into the ocean. Turner had also previously harassed a man whom she'd met a few times, but who hadn't returned her interest.
@@ursulabach566 Oh she also harassed another doctor (resident at a hospital)with whom she had been in a relationship, but he broke up with her. And he called the police on her, because on several occasions she visited his apartment and would not leave. I suspect Turner had borderline personality disorder as well as other issues. She attempted suicide outside his apartment, and had to be hospitalized. This obsessive, harassing behavior was a distinct pattern in her history, when men broke up with her or wanted to leave her.
@@SY-ok2dq As a man that has been a victim of stalking, I want to say thank you for your comment. There’s an issue of people not believing men when they bring forward issues such as stalking or rape and it’s often scoffed at when someone uses it as an anecdote. You were very polite and added to the conversation though and it’s appreciated.
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.
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
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... 🤷🏾♀️
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.
@@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'
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 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!
Prevention is more important than raising the potential fines and jail time. I understand it is a step in the right direction. But this man has been charged with online abuse, stealing, going in womens bathroom, and sexual assault. When he sent sexual voice recording to a minor should've been the line drawn, he should've been in jail for at least a year. It's not because of the severity of the crime he did this time but the accumulation of all his past crimes and the fact that he harrased ANOTHER woman should be a clue that he isn't going to stop unless he's given jail time. Once again the justice system has failed them. EDIT: and I will not tolarate any victim blaming. "She should be more careful when putting pictures on the internet" yeah? Well the guy shouldn't be a crazy psychophatic killer.
Raising potential punishment is actually a prevention Prevention via fear, and its actually quite effective. How many time have you consider doing a small crime but decided not to because you know the punishment?
@@whoami1449 Are you sure about that ? I live in the US and the fact that we have the death penalty does not deter criminals from comitting crime. Lets face it, hefty fines and sentences only scare law abiding citizens, not the type of people who would otherwise be involved in said crimes anyways.
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 ❤️
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
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
@@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.
Dead ppl can't watch you but they can sure as hell stink... and a lot... the smell of just one dead body can travel blocks... it must have been atrocious. So sad... their families must be broken knowing this sick fck let their loved one literally rot away in his house... sick bastard
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 like the rhetoric of your speech. Very comforting and reassuring. This story was of a tragedy, and you were absolutely respectful of all involved while telling this story. Thank you. Great job.
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
Some men/women just don’t understand. If a man/woman doesn’t like you just move on and find another that will. Don’t feel the need to act out upon rejection🤦♂️.
It definitely has to part of their upbringing , too much entitlement. I feel like there are always minor warning signs but people over look them. Mental health support and therapy needs to be more widely available but I know a lot of places like South Korea still have a stigma attached to it. Kids need to be taught how to handle rejection and not getting what they want, nobody should think they are entitled to a relationship and should instead learn how to be happy alone.
@@blitzen5038 there is a cost to killing entitlement. The reduction of competition and motivation to the males who use women as their fuel may be too great for society. The only logical solution for men like that is a well regulated patriarchy that rewards them with resources and women for their contributions. Anything else will feel like an injustice to them.
I saw this interview about a JP man whose working to rehabilitate himself after stalking his "former wife". Most stalkers (men) had this notion that women are their property and thus, if they can't have them, no one else can.
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 Coffee House Crime! I love Coffee! I love International Travel! I love mysteries! I’m a big big fan and the production is beyond RUclips! Just a great channel HUGE FAN!
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 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 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?
"Today's case starts in one" *shows a computer case interior* was a great visual pun to start off with! Good video as usual, this made me reminisce about the PC cafe we used to have in my town in Canada. They're no where near as common now but I wish they were, I don't game enough to want to keep my PC up to date
Great video. Such a sad end. I couldn’t imagine being on the side of being stalked. It’s absolutely horrible. You can’t be sure whether it’s a good idea or a bad idea to accept a stalker into your life. Man or woman. I hope “Ari” is in a better place and the Kim gets what he deserves. As a person with absolutely no friends at all and considered unattractive for American standards, I could never imagine or fathom the idea of a man stalking a woman that doesn’t want anything to do with him. Such a shame.
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👏🏽👏🏽
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!
Just want to say, I appreciate how well you pronounced the Korean words. I never expect people to know how to pronounce words from different languages, but you did really well.
Having gone through a lot of your videos in a short amount of time, I have to say that your video quality has increased dramatically as you've continued your RUclips career! Nice job!
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!
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 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
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!
Right? It makes me happy I got into the habit of it young, though it was less about the address and more about me not wanting people to see my name. Easier to cover the whole label (address conveniently included)
@@xavvy8663 exactly I'm just happy I don't have social media like that anymore. So if I want to take a pic of my new item then I just have it for myself no one else lol
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.
10:02 - you always do that “fade to black” transition in such a way that it always makes me think my phone battery just died 😂😂😂😂 That’s the 2nd video in a row that my viewing experience was just slapped in the nuts by that fake-out battery death 🤬😂💀
Hi, your channel is one of the best on RUclips by far. You can clearly hear and see that your very passionate in the stories that your telling. You cover all murders, missing people from all over not just in your state and or country. I really enjoy watching these because it shows how people can be and how the police either get it right or they mess it up. Thank you so much!!!!! I haven't heard anything about some of your stories and I'm very pleased to be able to through your channel.
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
Quickly becoming my 'Go To' crime channel 👌 Super articulate and always captivating in your presentation, keep up the great work my man. Have a great week 🙏
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.
Hi Adrian, thank you so much for this very important and SUPER CREEPY VIDEO on the STALKERS‼️ It frightened me to see how dangerous these situations can become and how important it is to protect your private life online. I send you all my deepest respect and love ♥️ From Steen the danish boy from Bordeaux in France 🇩🇰 🇫🇷 💖 🙏 🙏
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 😔

@@MrYelly So they weren't really friends then...

@@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 :(
it's so scary hearing about cases that happened so recently, like obviously things do happen very regularly but its just like .. yeah
Right? I listen to true crime a lot and many cases happened 5, 10, 20 or even more years ago and they're horrible ofc, but when there's a case that happened this recently it just somehow feels even more...real, and scary.
it gets so close all of a sudden! for some reason, the older a case is the more it feels like just a story.
Not "very regularly", fortunately. But yeah, it adds a new dimension of scary
No kidding...
Sure, listening to stories that happened in the past is creepy; but something about reading/listening to stories that are incredibly recent is even more haunting than the former..
Stop being so sensitive; people get sliced up everyday around the world.. it’s not a big deal tbh
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..

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.
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.
@@zedorda1337 You don't live in reality, do you?
It’s mad to me that stalking is considered a misdemeanour and people can just get off with a warning after violating a person’s personal space and livelihood like that. I wish it was taken so much more seriously
What do you want to do to stalkers then? When you happen to get off the same stop as someone else once and then gets reported as a stalker.
@@1mol831 obviously that’s not stalking until it becomes a habit, someone just conveniently getting off the same bus stop doesn’t mean they’re stalking you. It’s a pattern of behaviour AND if in any case, the person is wrong about it, then they should be dealt with accordingly
@@user-es4zw1yh2l I usually happen to get off at the same stop as someone who lives next door and goes to a similar workplace. I think I'm not stalking them.
@@1mol831 of course not, it isn’t stalking dw. You just both happen to work in a similar environment and take the same route, nothing weird ab that :)
It’s just people who are consistently in another persons life without there being anything in common is when it gets weird
stalking is one of those crimes that isn't easy to prosecute or punish by its very nature. they also can't punish someone who hasn't broken any laws. someone popping up in your life when they don't have a reason to is weird, yes, but it isn't a crime. someone blowing up your phone isn't a crime either, neither is walking behind someone at night. unless they change the law, this isn't going to change. you can't punish someone who did nothing wrong (legally), nor can you violate their freedom for no reason. sucks but that is the way it is.
Kudos to the news media for actually showing the criminal’s face.
As a Korean, thank you for putting in the effort into the pronunciation! Great job! Also very sweet of you for naming her Ahri as one of the main characters in Lol.
He mispronounced 아리 tho :(
@@brendanm132 he did pretty good. Don't tell me you're one of those that pronounce 아리 (A-ri) as A-li.
@@cliffordsantillan6046 wasn't terrible, but he should've pronounced it 아리 (ah-li). He pronounced it 애리 (A-li).
@@brendanm132 well, it's probably because most westerners can't pronounce some sounds that most of us Asians can do. Also, it should be pronounced A-ri (아리). A-li (알리) is spelled this way. But, as I have learned during my now almost 4 years of learning the language, I often hear them pronounce differently. It's like a weird sound in between "L" and "R". And also, hangeul is almost a "not romanization friendly" language. That's why is pretty debatable when it comes to romanizing korean words. That's the very first thing they taught us. Learn hangeul in hangeul, not by using romanization 😅
@@cliffordsantillan6046 yea romanizations suck, but typically 리을 can be romanized into L or R. I've seen both. Wouldn't call either wrong. 알리 is a different sound from 아리 tho

My mother had a stalker when we were living together, he would sit across the road and watch the house and come on to the place at night but he always used to do it when I wasn't there, I used my mothers car one night and he made the mistake of approaching it, I got out and told him to look in my eyes, I then told him I had money and was going to pay someone to visit him (he wasn't the only one that could find out where a person was living)
I then told him what they were going to do to him and that I was more than happy to face charges if he came around again. I guess he knew I was serious and we never saw him again. I'm not sorry and would do it again. When the police can't or won't help you, you have the right to defend yourself, remember that.
It makes me sad and angry that 3 lives are lost to a dog that isn't sorry, if he was sorry he wouldn't have done it, I hope he gets death.
He isn’t even a dog, he is much worse than that.
I would kill God if I need to, to protect my family from stalker.

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

Another problem with stalking not being taken as seriously is the romanization of it. Media has made it like a symbol of love. Sure you see the opposite too. Also, the rise of yandere and people loving the idea of someone that crazy being in love with someone is scary. I stumbled across it trying to figure out what it was exactly and I noped right out.

@@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.

It’s scary and infuriating that, as a woman, just rejecting a random man you’re not interested in can get you (and even your family) killed.
In most cases it's a man, but there was a case in North America, of a female doctor (someone in a respected position, a profession that's supposed to save lives) Shirley Turner, who killed another doctor she had been involved with after he broke up with her. She later fled back to Canada (the crime was in the U.S.) and ended up committing a homicide suicide by giving her baby (the child of the affair with the other doctor) anti-anxiety medication and jumping off the end of a wharf into the ocean.
Turner had also previously harassed a man whom she'd met a few times, but who hadn't returned her interest.
@@SY-ok2dq I didn't know about this case, that sounds terrible.
@@ursulabach566 Oh she also harassed another doctor (resident at a hospital)with whom she had been in a relationship, but he broke up with her. And he called the police on her, because on several occasions she visited his apartment and would not leave. I suspect Turner had borderline personality disorder as well as other issues. She attempted suicide outside his apartment, and had to be hospitalized. This obsessive, harassing behavior was a distinct pattern in her history, when men broke up with her or wanted to leave her.
@@SY-ok2dq As a man that has been a victim of stalking, I want to say thank you for your comment. There’s an issue of people not believing men when they bring forward issues such as stalking or rape and it’s often scoffed at when someone uses it as an anecdote. You were very polite and added to the conversation though and it’s appreciated.
It's scary and infuriating that, as a man, just walking by a random man in the wrong part of town can get you an your family killed.
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.
I live in Korea, how did I not know about this? This poor family, I feel so sorry for them. This never should’ve happened :(
Me too
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.
He “accidentally” killed two innocent people, when he really only wanted to kill the third innocent person??

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

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... 🤷🏾♀️
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.

@@RizztrainingOrder mostly guys do this tho
@@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.
Another gamer incel
@@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'
I really like your contents. No fuzz, no unneccessary talks and straight to the story. Please never get tired of doing these quality contents.
Great video brother!!
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 😀
You're an awesome narrator.
Really appreciate you saying this! I doubt myself on this aspect too much, haha
@@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 agree! One of the best!
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 really like the south korean law that protects victims identities!! It's so important yet somehow many countries don't have them...
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!
Prevention is more important than raising the potential fines and jail time. I understand it is a step in the right direction. But this man has been charged with online abuse, stealing, going in womens bathroom, and sexual assault. When he sent sexual voice recording to a minor should've been the line drawn, he should've been in jail for at least a year. It's not because of the severity of the crime he did this time but the accumulation of all his past crimes and the fact that he harrased ANOTHER woman should be a clue that he isn't going to stop unless he's given jail time. Once again the justice system has failed them.
EDIT: and I will not tolarate any victim blaming. "She should be more careful when putting pictures on the internet" yeah? Well the guy shouldn't be a crazy psychophatic killer.
Raising potential punishment is actually a prevention
Prevention via fear, and its actually quite effective. How many time have you consider doing a small crime but decided not to because you know the punishment?
@bLackstar Thats why i live in Oregon. No fear of going to jail for weed at all Lol
@@whoami1449 Are you sure about that ? I live in the US and the fact that we have the death penalty does not deter criminals from comitting crime. Lets face it, hefty fines and sentences only scare law abiding citizens, not the type of people who would otherwise be involved in said crimes anyways.
@@amye9033 well the purpose of it at least.
And if at least, they prevent (some) people to prevent crime that mean it is working as intendes.
@bLackstar 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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 ❤️
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
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
I feel for all of you growing up in these ages. Growing up pre digital and social media was in hindsight the best kind of childhood. Good luck
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 🤣
i was looking for this comment
@@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. 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.
@@scattypetty omg hi
No idea how anyone can live with dead bodies in their home. Will always feel like you're being watched
It also must stink like shit in there.
Dead ppl can't watch you but they can sure as hell stink... and a lot... the smell of just one dead body can travel blocks... it must have been atrocious. So sad... their families must be broken knowing this sick fck let their loved one literally rot away in his house... sick bastard
@@nomdeplume2213 yeah ive heard of going nose blind to stuff but not death. sorry. no fucking way. the smell could gag a maggot.
Fuck that the smell of decomposing flesh reeks. How could you even stomach that stench!
And depending on what you believe in, their souls plotting against you!
Such a crazy world we live in. Smh.
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!
@@CoffeehouseCrime Agreed, it’s just really cool when you can just play games and hang with other gamers in a good net cafe.
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.
@@staceykersting705 k
I found your channel after I did my surgery, and it really made my recovery easier. You cover the best cases ever !!
Hey! I’m glad I helped you through your recovering period, and I hope you’re feeling much better now!
I like the rhetoric of your speech. Very comforting and reassuring. This story was of a tragedy, and you were absolutely respectful of all involved while telling this story. Thank you. Great job.
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
Some men/women just don’t understand. If a man/woman doesn’t like you just move on and find another that will. Don’t feel the need to act out upon rejection🤦♂️.
It definitely has to part of their upbringing , too much entitlement. I feel like there are always minor warning signs but people over look them. Mental health support and therapy needs to be more widely available but I know a lot of places like South Korea still have a stigma attached to it. Kids need to be taught how to handle rejection and not getting what they want, nobody should think they are entitled to a relationship and should instead learn how to be happy alone.
@@blitzen5038 there is a cost to killing entitlement. The reduction of competition and motivation to the males who use women as their fuel may be too great for society.
The only logical solution for men like that is a well regulated patriarchy that rewards them with resources and women for their contributions. Anything else will feel like an injustice to them.
@@blitzen5038 👍
I saw this interview about a JP man whose working to rehabilitate himself after stalking his "former wife". Most stalkers (men) had this notion that women are their property and thus, if they can't have them, no one else can.
It goes both ways
Thank you for bringing us the lesser known cases. It is actually a treat for true crime fans. 😅
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.
@@haze6647 oh I am well aware unfortunately… lately parents have been killing their own kids at an alarming rate. So messed up and sad.
@@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 Coffee House Crime! I love Coffee! I love International Travel! I love mysteries! I’m a big big fan and the production is beyond RUclips! Just a great channel HUGE FAN!
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 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 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?
@@LOLLOL-re1dv You sound like a stalker.
@@Luna-ii4mx Wow, thanks i guess.
I just asked what games you play not your personal info... :/
@@LOLLOL-re1dv Overwatch and FFXIV
@@Luna-ii4mx Noice, but I don’t play those games, i’m more into FPS shooting games xd
"Today's case starts in one"
*shows a computer case interior*
was a great visual pun to start off with! Good video as usual, this made me reminisce about the PC cafe we used to have in my town in Canada. They're no where near as common now but I wish they were, I don't game enough to want to keep my PC up to date
Great video. Such a sad end. I couldn’t imagine being on the side of being stalked. It’s absolutely horrible. You can’t be sure whether it’s a good idea or a bad idea to accept a stalker into your life. Man or woman.
I hope “Ari” is in a better place and the Kim gets what he deserves. As a person with absolutely no friends at all and considered unattractive for American standards, I could never imagine or fathom the idea of a man stalking a woman that doesn’t want anything to do with him. Such a shame.
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👏🏽👏🏽
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!
Just want to say, I appreciate how well you pronounced the Korean words. I never expect people to know how to pronounce words from different languages, but you did really well.
Care more about unimportant shit lol
@@LargeInCharge77 like you care to be annoying
I love cases from Asia. I feel like they’re overlooked when it comes to crime
Very true. But honestly I just love diving into different cultures and learning a few new things along the way!
@@CoffeehouseCrime thank you for putting these stories out and all of your hard work. I’m enjoying your channel a lot
@@CoffeehouseCrime Your work is really appreciated! Not many channels do cases from other countries, so I think you have a good thing going there.
@@CoffeehouseCrime Hope you could do the Philippines next. The Pemberton-Laude case would be a good start imo. Thanks for the well-produced videos!
they are but thats because people focus on western crimes
In south Korea this behaviours are literary ignored, I've been reading about idols suffering from this. It's crazy.
Having gone through a lot of your videos in a short amount of time, I have to say that your video quality has increased dramatically as you've continued your RUclips career! Nice job!
Off topic but it’s great that they have a sign language translator on that news channel. We should have that more in all countries
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!
We also have those in Kazakhstan
subtitles
We have that in South Africa too, but only on live broadcasts, otherwise we use subtitles
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.
How cruel and evil...I don't see any remorse in his eyes...he did everything so consciously...my prayers for the victims 😪
“You know where this is going” No truer words have been spoken.
The tribute, the voice, the story telling... Subscribed.
You cannot make someone like you, let alone love you. You either do or do not! What a tragedy! RIP to the victims 🙏😔
I appreciate your research into and respect for different countries and cultures! Your content is truly a gem. Thank you for doing what you do!
another well-researched, organised, and soothingly narrated case! good work as always.
Notice me senpai!
It's so fucked up how many of those stories are "man gets violent after being rejected." Depressing.
I appreciate your channel. I love watching crime cases and your stories are mostly ones i've never heard of
Thank you!
@@CoffeehouseCrime 🥰
What a monster.... RIP to the victims and condolences to their family.
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.
Just wanted to say that your uploads always make my day. I love how you handle these topics so much
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
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!
Now I know never to post a picture with the items box that has my address on it. Never would realize it. It's such a small detail that is scary.
Right? It makes me happy I got into the habit of it young, though it was less about the address and more about me not wanting people to see my name. Easier to cover the whole label (address conveniently included)
@@xavvy8663 exactly I'm just happy I don't have social media like that anymore. So if I want to take a pic of my new item then I just have it for myself no one else lol
Allegedly something similar happened to the rapper Pop Smoke
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.
They should have charges like that for stalkers around the world.
I think the bigger crime here was murder.
10:02 - you always do that “fade to black” transition in such a way that it always makes me think my phone battery just died 😂😂😂😂
That’s the 2nd video in a row that my viewing experience was just slapped in the nuts by that fake-out battery death 🤬😂💀
Hi, your channel is one of the best on RUclips by far. You can clearly hear and see that your very passionate in the stories that your telling. You cover all murders, missing people from all over not just in your state and or country. I really enjoy watching these because it shows how people can be and how the police either get it right or they mess it up. Thank you so much!!!!! I haven't heard anything about some of your stories and I'm very pleased to be able to through your channel.
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
Quickly becoming my 'Go To' crime channel 👌
Super articulate and always captivating in your presentation, keep up the great work my man.
Have a great week 🙏
Appreciated, Marcus! Thanks!
I don't like how calm you are telling us these stories
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.
You've quickly become my favourite true crime channel. You're empathetic and non-sensationalist and always (when you can) focus on the victims.
It can't be healthy to be this obsessed with your videos! Click on it with the swiftness as soon as it drops!
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
Hi Adrian, thank you so much for this very important and SUPER CREEPY VIDEO on the STALKERS‼️
It frightened me to see how dangerous these situations can become and how important it is to protect your private life online.
I send you all my deepest respect and love ♥️
