it’s terrifying to think that he went from being such a good guy & helping her when that other man was being inappropriate to her, to planning and executing her demise because she didn’t kiss him when he wanted her to.. the juxtaposition is insane.
Well said
Making you have a really huge trust issue over people's characters
@@Ninaloasanapeople can have many layers, not all good but not all bad either we just don't always get to see them all but they're all under the surface waiting to be triggered, very frightening
@@marynehra502hear, hear. very beautifully put
He's one of those men who claim to be "nice guys" then later turn out to be major creeps.
Imagine being saved from some creep, only to date and be murdered by an even worse creep.
It is not unheard of that rescuers turn out to be even more dangerous. 😨
I wonder if he set up the whole creepy foreigner situation so he looks like a knight in shining armor
@@chibibumblebee3190 high possibility
@@chibibumblebee3190I thought the same right away. It's too movie trope of an encounter
It’s common that men will “save” a woman they’re attracted to. If they think you’re ugly, they don’t care. They’ll step in when they can gain something from it. Otherwise it’s not worth it for them. The pretty damsel in distress being saved by her knight in shining armour and they fall in love.
I’ve had it before, when I’ve been out drinking and my mates left me on my own. This group of military boys were incredibly friendly and helpful, it was nice. For once these men are helping a drunk girl on her own, until I refused to go back to their base multiple times, then I was a b*tch, and ugly anyway.
her parents sound like such amazing people. im so glad to hear that justice was served, for once.
but god. she was 22.
It's horrifying to think this happened to her and we're around the same age. I feel so, so bad for her. She deserved far more than she was ever given.
@@arielraine1642 same, im 24. hearing about people with a whole future ahead of them just having their life ripped away like that... is so uniquely disturbing, infuriating, and heartwrenching.
I cried. She was definitely loved by her family. Her absence to them must be terrible 💔
This Sounds like a Little Version of a cult or something. Just Tell People insane Stuff and they belive it. It’s really scary
Poor girl fell victim to those 3 male idiots
I was not expecting that twist at all. He killed her just because she didn’t kiss him during New Year's countdown. Seriously, what a pathetic human being! I cannot believe this guy thought he had the right to take someone’s life just because of a kiss.
for real!
Narcissist
What’s even worse is I bet you when they asked for his motive he didn’t even have a good reason and he just came up with the last thing he could think of that she did that irritated him.... that’s how ridiculous his justifications came off to me.... this one fucked me up I haven’t cried on one of these in a minute and this one had me bawling :(
Narcissist
@@ihiaolookihiatoo1640 you’re absolutely right
tricking everyday citizens about being in the Special Ops or being a Navy Seal is one thing, but the fact that a cop falls for that lie is insane!
You're right because there's certian terminology and lingo that will be a tell to let you know they are full of BS. Like with Navy or Marines, just ask them their NEC or MOS, and if they look dumbfounded, you'll know they are full of chit.
They all read too many c-novels. There are thousands of novel with that type of genre. I think people can’t differentiate fiction from reality.
@@andromedamessier3176I would agree but then again alot of America's do the same . I believe it's more of a power or respect thing people really respect anyone in the military . Losers who have nothing going for them they fantasize of being someone important and being a respectful person with a high position
@@lily.97 I don’t understand why you bring up America? I’m talking about how there are thousands of c-novels like this (like special agent! Saving your country. We called it the nationalists novels). They are very popular too. However, these guys are adult. These adults act so childish. It is something I expected a 13 years old would do and believe.
@@lily.97 I would say I heard this sort of delusional spy stuff before. Similar case. But they are kid with mental illness. These guys are adults acting like they in some novel.
The relief I felt when I heard that the killers were sentenced to death was intense. I cannot understand why someone would do this to someone’s daughter, someones loved one. He deserved that sentence and Im glad that he was brought to justice, although nothing can numb the pain of lilly’s family loosing her. I wish her family the very best.
I clapped!
Ow yes, his parents must feel the pain....they have been spoiling this fool all his life
yeah, China is not South Korea.
@@iboreasieomg I did the same jumped up and clapped too… Finally Justice was served 👏🏼👏🏼
@@kayakazi7765 I said lillys, sorry for the misunderstanding
the father bribing with $140k after his kid murdered a person's only child is horrifying. hong got coddled and babied growing up and never learned the concept of consequences because his parents cleaned up after him and stuck by him despite his wrongdoings. disgusting.
Him calling a murder an "incident" is wild
Get so ticked off hearing repeatedly that these kid's when growing are given no boundaries or held to account so the behaviour just escalates till a tradegy or tragedies happen, hear it over & over & the parents are in denial as to the actual badass their kid is!😡
Like most boy parents
No!
Very common in China. You can get away with anything if you know the right people. Doctors are even bribed to provide better care to a specific patient. It's a broken society caused by the CCP.
I am so proud of her parents. A lot of parents don't really care for their children, especially if it's a girl. But they went the entire way. They got her justice, they shed tears and they visit her grave. Those are parents everyone wishes for.
Amazing parents she has 😢
What? What is different being daughter than son? Is this Pakistan india Afganistan mountains??? Why a chinese family will not care daughter? I am Turkish for us daughter is everything for a father.
@@Nur-nd3ij it's just a thing with East Asian parents, many still think that sons are better than daughters cause they can carry the lineage
@@Nur-nd3ijremeber the one child policy China had? Because a son would carry the family's name it was considered that a son carries more value to your family than a daughter. As in many other countries China still has parts (especially isolated rural ares; is a very big country with a large number of people that is not developed uniformly) that consideres women as something that is given away, something that you own in order to carry further the family bloodline. And this treatment of women is seeded in how ancient Chinese people treated women as well. Same can be said for Korea and Japan since their ancient history is strongly tied to Chinese culture.
@@Nur-nd3ijthey’re talking about a philosophy called Confucianism that influenced East Asian culture. But ignore that generalization, between every country one thing universal is a father’s love for his daughter and a mother’s love for her son.
I actually instantly knew he was not the real deal the moment his social media was mentioned. Because my cousin's husband was special ops (not in China but still), and he never had social media accounts, was not allowed to. More than that, family and friends were not allowed taking, let alone posting, pictures of him. He never advertised that he was special ops. So this boyfriend's social media with him running around in camo could have been the first clue that he was just pretending.
Well I had two friends in the military and they had pictures of them in full uniform, one of them were in a helicopter with his gun in hand. So some of them do post pics but special ops is probably a no no. Some of them are not allowed to post anything at all. I think only certain ones can. Some who aren't a threat or in any secret groups.
You're right! I have a lot of family in my country's military and they only post pictures on social media during special occasions or in civilian clothes and none of them would EVER post pictures with their guns..that just sounds so dumb
Sadly, most civvies would not know this. I’m a military brat(dad was USAF) , that’s how I know more than most about the military. But, you gotta remember that there are tons of people that have no clue how it works
@@spacecatmeowwwelcome to American social media 😂
Hong is insane. I kept thinking “is it the boyfriend…” and it was 🤦🏻♀️ How do you get close to someone and murder them like this? So sick. Lilly’s future was stolen. :( May she rest in peace.
There are lots of cases where tgeir partner had affairs betray them have someone else but not all of their partner murder them. His way of thinking or judgement is clearly nuts
A life for a life. That girl did not deserve that. A real life meaning to “play stupid games win stupid prizes” for the 3 guys
A life for 3 lives. It only happens in China, in the west, the most they would get is life in prison.
This story rattled me completely. I still do not fully understand why they thought she was a spy??? She didn't do anything and I feel so bad for her. I also feel so sympathetic towards her family and I am grateful that they got the death sentence. People are the scariest of all.
In my understanding, the whole spy thing was just an excuse for the boyfriend to order the two losers to kill her. By saying that Lily was a spy, the two executioners would feel like there was a legit reason to kill her 😢
Yeah it’s just an excuse to commit evil
Why do 2 separate users have the exact same comment.... thought I was losing my mind
it is also my understanding, the whole spy thing was just an excuse for the boyfriend to order the two losers to kill her. By saying that Lily was a spy, the two executioners would feel like there was a legit reason to kill her 😢
@HoPeZz_N_DrEaMzz, it’s probably a bot or spammer of some kind, that or a kid looking for clout
The fact that Hong came from an affluent rich family and he's a drop out sounds to me like he's relying his parents money and that he grew up like that. Spoiled and immature. I think ultimately, he's insecure that this Beautiful young girl from a humble bg successfully graduated and is on the way to be the best version of herself and he's just there busy with his delusions of being a special ops. Nothing going on in his life but delusions.
So every "wrong" move of his gf offended him because he's already insecure deep down, now he thinks his gf is also looking down at him, i mean how could she? A mere female. That's i think how he thinks.
I also thinks part of his motive was to satisfy his fantasy of being in military. And people are stupid enough to believe him. To him, she's not his gf. Someone he can use and nothing more. I don't he really cared for her even from the beginning. He just likes her because she's pretty and it feeds his ego to be with her.
Also brainwashed by pubg game, weird person.
Ngl theres a lot of only son child or first child son have attitude problems. A lot of them suddenly got super rich due to inheritance. Ive worked in retail before and met a lot of very beautiful single chinese women tourist in their 30s and 40s. I was asking how come ur not married ur so beautiful and successful (they either are professionals, or have own business, very good character) and they said their men are rich but utterly useless to the point it made them disdain its better to be single and enjoy life. So they would date but not marry. I dont know which area or province they are from city or town or village. That was 10 years ago. Now not sure if the social dynamic has changed or not. Im no longer in retail now.
@@geoffrej2830it's still the same. The women I know from China they think like this. I think the situation got even worse over the years and then the new divorce law that had been passed made them even more unwilling to get married.
The father trying to make this seem as if it’s an “incident” is disgusting. Trying to bribe the victim’s father with money as if that’ll somehow bring her back is inhumane and so disheartening.
The rich and powerful think they can throw money at all their problems. It started with Hong’s parents. He learned it from them.
Soon as Stephanie said her live-in boyfriend did call her parents or the police for 3 days, my face twisted up like 🤔🧐🤨😒... I don't know if he had a part in the planning or the actual carrying out of this horrific act, but he's definitely SUSPICIOUS!!
It is usually the people close to you
@@2662bich right he waited for her parents and then compared notes before finally going to the police, all whilst knowing what had actually happened crying on command in front of her family and acting concerned. People who can hurt another person are already so messed up but someone who can harm a person and still look at their family with fake concern is even scarier
Do you mean didn’t?
@@lifegoeson1007 I did my bad
@@U-Gozoo Ok. You’re good
What's so contradictory is that he didn't want to tell Lily or her family about his job but then was posting so many photos in uniform with his buddies. His reasons behind all his actions just didn't make sense
Wow I never thought of that 🤔... that's ridiculous btw....it makes no sense. Like why hide it but then post about it?
For me, it's also strange that the guy from the military family couldn't see that that boyfriend was lying. There's a special way that military men stand and move due to drills and marching exercises. It's hard to fake.
Well, because he was obviously lying. He probably knew her family was involved in workong with the govt and didnt want them looking him up and potentially exposing the fact he was lying. Posting stuff on social media and lying is easy though.
It’s very disturbing, and absolutely disgusting how the father of that narcissist really tried to bribe Lily’s father with money, it’s shows a lot about who they are.
Glad that her parents got justice for what they did to their only child.
I love Rotten Mango videos but the thing that bothers me the most is how many videos Stephanie has. It is so sad that all of these things happen all the time. Thank you Stephanie and the Rotten Mango team for all of your hard work.
Unfortunately her 128 cases she’s looked into so far is just a small fraction of all the evil there’s been ☹️
There are almost 8 billion people in this world right now. If only 0.01% of the world is bad that would 80 million people. But that can also mean there can be a lot of good too. There is a lot of bad news, true crime, and corruption stories, but it can sometimes warp people view of the world. Sure a lot of bad happens in the world, but a lot of good happens too. It's just become much easier to see that bad now and we kind of gravitate towards it.
@@YueNoxYinThank you! I alwayyyys say this. Not making this religious (I apologize if you have other believes), but God is watching us from above not from a TV/mobile screen🙌
@@YueNoxYin Omg thank you so much for saying this! I feel like I'm the weird guy all the time thinking that all this is just a fraction of what's going on in the world... thank you man, your comment really makes me feel vindicated. Lots of love
@@JarlBalgruff_ Please keep your optimism. Keep that mentality of it only being a small fraction. Because all these stories are horrifying and depressing, and while I watch personally to be clued in about things I can take away from it to learn, it's still heartbreaking to hear about (and it does affect people mentally). You're definitely not weird. There's some real depraved people out there but there's also wonderful folk that we tend to let get overshadowed by the awful. I just had to say that cause it's easy to slip into the doom seeing mindset, and I just crawled my way out of it (i'm better now dw, balance these stories out). The people committing these acts are the weirdos tbh.
I actually burst into tears hearing they brought her flowers and her favorite food. Those poor parents, poor Lilly. May she rest in peace and may her parents someday find peace too.
I feel like Stephanie's calming voice calms me so much that I forget it's a scary reality of life she's talking about .
For real. Almost so pleasant and soft-spoken even talking about scary, true cases in real life. 😊
@@Mr.WestcottXliterally. i’m disgusted but super intrigued and mainly just here for stephanie, she could post any content and i’ll watch it
@@graceclover8697 agreed.
Omg yes, this is the only true crime channel i can even watch with my anxiety & ptsd,.. im still having the most traumatic nightmares though & i think its because i listen to these or her podcast all day & even fall asleep with them playing 😢
@@roundsdmSweetheart, try not to listen as often, this is detrimental to your mental health. Take care of yourself 💕
U can tell Hong was a spoiled kid... unemployed yet living a comfortable life... that means his parents was supporting his life style... he def also portray psychopathic tendencies
So can we all agree that the dude planned the meeting as well? It plays in to his "I'm the main character and you're all sides" complex. That poor girl was so blinded by her savior that she over looked all the red flags. 😔
That meeting is similar to that from a J-Lo movie, Enough, from 2002.
I prefer to look at this tragedy as the story of a hero taking down 3 dangerous killers. Thank you Lily and love and prayers to you, your parents and all that knew and loved you. ❤
That's a positive view. It's still sad
@@psychedelicyeti6053 could not agree more! I would just have to try to find something positive if something so horrible happened to my loved one. 💔
that’s a very unique perspective of it. You have a great heart. Thanks for sharing thy thought.
@@jmalik6191 Thank- you. ❤️
I saw a video earlier today about a man waiting for his partner (idk if it was his wife or girlfriend) for 54 mins after she said she would be done.
The two of them got in the car and drove off as his jokingly complained about waiting almost an hour.
It was so normal and funny. I can’t imagine a situation like that going sour and turning into this. There are truly evil people in the world. The parents will never know a day of peace but I hope they rest a little easier at night knowing they gave their daughter the justice most women will not see in this life when against families in “higher positions”.
The way that Stephanie words the cases of victims, it really intrigues me into learning more of the case
Growing up, I knew a guy like Hong. Just obsessed with the military, guns, and all kind of shooter games. Then he grows up, start playing laser tag, paint ball. Facebook page always full of photos of him fully geared up, tear gas mask, goggles and everything. Always post status about operations this and that, while it was just paintball or laser tag. I always thought he was kinda delusional. Watching this episode sent chills down my spine, all the symptoms are so similar. Anybody else also know somebody growing up who is like this?
I have a friend who is obsessed with guns, camo, military and etc but he's very nice and hardworking. Having these hobbies aren't necessarily bad but when it's Hong's level of delusional... yikes.
I don’t think generalizing everyone that is into similar hobbies as Hong is right. A lot of men are into firearms, just like how a lot of men are into cars. Liking these things doesn’t mean you are a psychopath like Hong.
I don’t think it’s necessarily always obsessive. I have family members that like to go to and organize airsoft games from time to time, have knowledge of guns and military tactics. But it’s not something that took over their lives - it’s simply a hobby. I myself have dabbled in airsoft, though very rarely, and must say what little knowledge I gleaned seems useful from a survivalist standpoint. I think the problem is when the military obsession is the only thing a person’s interested in.
When I was in high school, there was this guy in his 30s who would try to get with high school girls by claiming he was in the FBI. No one believed him of course. This was in the early 2000’s.
@@therussianprincess7036yeah, growing up I’ve always been interested in the military and tactics and the like. I’d play Airsoft too, though I never did go around pretending I was some sort of Tier 1 operator, that’s weirdo behavior.
Though I was always interested in the uniforms, equipment, and training of the average joe snuffy, and it is what led me to actually enlisting in the US Army.
I’d say it’s a case of moderation, it’s only healthy when it’s an interest and not a full blown obsession, like don’t make that your core personality and you’re green.
I was not expecting that twist about Hong's job. Literally sick. Rest in peace, Lily.
Finally, some true justice for someone I would have expected to get off light. What a horrible crime. So many lessons in this one. I'm so sad for Lily and her family. Thank you.
I love your partnerships❤
Im an SA & abuse victim & people cant imagine how much support many of us need to get past the ptsd & get back on our feet..
❤❤❤
I’ve never been SA’d before but I can NOT possible imagine how it must feel to have to essentially relearn daily life, just to return to “normal” (when that’s not even possible, at least from the experiences I’ve heard). Not only that, but to have to constantly deal with reliving the moment… even though it’s a thing of the past, it stays with you. It sticks to you. It clings to you, refuses to fall off and dissipate. It fuses with you and makes itself right at home when you never gave it permission, just like with your attacker. I’m not sure how accurate this all is, you likely know better as a survivor yourself, but I’d word it like you’re violated twice… or over and over again. First your abuser, then by the horrible feelings coming in, then by any people who don’t believe you, etc. It’s like the assault and abuse unlocked and opened a gate. Behind that gate are several wild beasts, from lions to bears that you have to fight off and wrestle. Every. Day. WHILE fighting to put back together the pieces of you your abuser broke.
Again, if this is not very relatable to you, or accurate in general, that’s ok. Everyone’s experience is different, no one has the same exact story and feelings. However you feel about it, *it is VALID. YOU ARE VALID.* I truly hope you can experience relief soon, even a bit of tension going away. Best wishes ♥️
@@Flow-Fi-thank you so much for you comment, & it was quite accurate actually, & because I’m autistic, it honestly happened multiple times, with random guys i thought were my friends and with my 2 abusive partners, the world never stops finding ways to victimize autistic people honestly because were just easier targets, & because of the ptsd, i cant remember anything EXCEPT all the traumas whenever im triggered which is all the time, sorry i didnt see your comment sooner and thank you for the support🙏🏻
Now i mostly just isolate myself because it seems to be the only way im safe,.. i worry so much that my autistic children will suffer the same fate.. there mother can already barley function😢
This story really got to me. I just started crying, I feel so bad for her parents. The dirtbag boyfriend, no, not dirtbag, dirt is good, flowers grow in it. He’s toxic slime. I’ve met guys like him, it’s a definite type. The ones I knew were annoying but harmless. This guy has severe issues. He must have been charming on some level or how would he have gotten a catch like Lily, respectful of her elders, smart, ambitious. This was just tragic. And I’m completely annoyed how the dad of the killer tried to make it go away with money. Jerk. Zero empathy.
Rest in peace Lily! 🌷💕
YES! THANK YOU!! What she said 💯
The delivery of "he was practically invisible , he would wear camo to the grocery store" made me laugh.😂
The incel levels are off the charts with this one.
them filming it just makes this even more disturbing. thank you to stephaine and her team for the research and amazing video. i hope you guys take the time to mentally heal.
I’ve watched too many true crime videos because I knew right away it was the boyfriend. 90% of the time it’s the husband or boyfriend, especially if the victim is pregnant. She was stolen too young… RIP Lily
All three of these men especially Hong are despicable people. Rip lily you deserved better. My prayers are with her family and I hope they can heal from this. Thank you for the coverage of this case Stephanie and rotten mango team ❤
I know someone who is special ops (retired now), and he couldn’t even take pictures at his own wedding. No cameras allowed at all. The fact that this dude had all that stuff on his social media and people fell for it is wild.
This is so terrifying & really makes me rethink dating. I wouldn't ever think someone's imagined slight would lead to my murder; he should have been an adult & communicated his feelings rather than continue to date her while filled with hatred towards her. She more than likely wasn't even thinking about him at that time, she probably stepped away to call her parents.. & because of his bruised ego & need for power & dominance her parents lost their only beautiful & smart daughter. She would have gone far in her career if given the chance, it's so gut wrenching that she was ripped from this world by 2 government officials & some loser guy.
This is so heartbreaking. But it’s scary that I’ve met and known men like this. Who are so desperate for that Jason borne life and have the brain the size of a pea and a heart even smaller.
Idk if it’s even enough to have the death sentence given out but it’s a start. She and her family deserved so much more and better out of life. I hope they are healing and staying well.
can we just take a momment to appreciate stephanie
For real
Real
Seriously ! She's such a gift I appreciate her and her content. It's such a treat when I see a new upload from her!
I don't know why, but Stephanie has a face that makes you smile! :)
truu
I'm crying for this girl and her parents. 🥺 That guy was going to be an abusive boyfriend if she remained on his "good" side. I'm glad the victim got justice in this case, which is so rare to hear about.
Wow. This case is bonkers. I'm stunned that anyone, let alone a cop, would fall for that line and kill someone. I mean *a cop* didn't ask for any proof?!!! Poor Lilly. I feel so badly for her and her family.
I clocked this man as soon as it was said she was doing random part time jobs to buy instant ramen to keep herself alive 😭😭 no way that’s happening if your partner is in special ops???
I got so confused when Steph mentioned the guy showed off him being in military/special ops on social media bc in Malaysia, the ones involved in special ops have a different attire + no one knows who these people are until they pass away and are being given respects. I would assume it’s similar for other countries since special ops isn’t a light responsibility. This case breaks my heart 💔
I cried so much for her and parents. 😢
Poor girl, may she rest in peace and her parents get strength to carry on. 😢
Likewise
I'm just glad that the two hitmen and her boyfriend didn't have a lawyer who could claim temporary insanity as a reason for them murdering her. And even if some mental health issue was a factor, it's still not an excuse. You do the crime you do the time. And Lilly's dad did a great job advocating for her justice!
I really wanted to know how Z and C reacted when they found out she wasn't a spy and the whole story was a lie. What also stood out to me was that he wouldnt talk about being special ops but he'd post pictures about it on instagram?
I'm literally at a loss for words. They were only dating a MONTH and he's upset/angry over a kiss!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? The guy is psycho, im glad Lily's family got the justice they deserve!
May she and the family rest in peace knowing that justice has come.
Could be combination of Hong's ego, living a fantasy/living a lie, and possibly fear that Lily finding out about his true self. Feel so sad for the parents and Lily.
That is just such a messed up reason to be a psychopath. I get angry at people who beat their SO over things like a missed kiss but to murder like this, to live a messed up lie like this, is just…If a girl doesn’t give you a kiss and that’s not okay with you, don’t see the girl any longer, you will both be happier in the end
This story is the most batshit thing I've heard in a long time. Thank you for doing what you do.
The fact that he killed her because he felt disrespected is.. disgusting to me. and I truly believe in a life for a life. if you can kill someone in cold blood, you deserve to have your life cut short too.
It also amazes me how these killers are happy to kill someone and not give a shake spear, but when it comes to their own life they fight to stay alive.
The parents are right, I couldn’t image having to bury a child, it should be the other way around. my heart goes out to them. And I’m glad they got justice.
Just looking at his pictures I could see he was just an airsoft nerd and not a special forces operator 🤦🏼♂️
For real
This story really saddened me.. I hope she rests in peace, she never deserved that.
That statement by the dad at the end hit me like a truck. It reminded me of the saying "The greatest loss anyone could suffer is the loss of a child." I'm glad they got the justice they deserve and I hope they find peace somehow.
I think the reason this episode upset me so much more is because the motive was so egotistical it's gross. He was in his own head and blamed every bit of his low self-esteem on her. And then his father had the audacity to come out of nowhere talking about some money. Dude this girl was going places, she had a life all mapped out for herself and he's treating it like it was something his money-grubbing self could just buy.
That plot twist! Killing someone because of a kiss... He's a monster!
Ikr! 😔
Thank you for posting & always working so hard 💞 I know we all appreciate it !!
This pod cast gave me chills. Type of delusion accepted and manipulation allowed from one another from one’s having met online these days. I see Lily never met her ex killer boyfriends parents. Telling
Ngl all these cases are making me terrified to put myself out there and get into relationships, such a tragic story
thats why don't settle for just anyone. if they keep secrets then automatic no, its just for ur own safety
@@ijh07i mean tbh in this case, for me personally the military job would have been a bit of a side-eye and the constant camo-wearing and gun-plastered Instagram downright red flags, but idk, it's scary to think about all the different shades of crazies that are just existing out there and whose paths you might cross
@@Clara-xk3uv fr u just can’t trust anyone
oh fudge, that sounds like my ex. This guy plotted for 5 months. My ex plotted for 3 years. I'm still alive thank God but he is narcissistic to the core. When you discover this run for the hills because they view you as the problem. It took me years to realize this. Stay safe
I love watching Stephanie’s videos while just doing simple things like my makeup, cooking or cleaning lolll
Sameee its white noise for me at this point
SAME! I replay old Rotten Mango or BAM episodes while doing chores!

@@ScreaamJaniiiITS NOT CUZ ME TOO LOL
I have a feeling Hong set that meet cute on the train…he might have hired that foreigner
Now that you mention it…
wait a damn minute…
im so glad to finally hear justice for such horrible crimes, people get off too easy in so many of these cases.
This is stranger than fiction, and absolutely unbelievable! Poor Lily, and her parents! The parents' hurt is the kind that takes several lifetimes to heal from.
I was not expecting any of that. My heart goes out to Irene and her family. Thank god those monsters are not walking free.
Hi, English Language teacher here. The equivalent language exam for English Fluency is the C2/CPE Proficiency. Native speakers would most likely pass the use of English section without much trouble as their passive fluency would collocate the question naturally for them. However, the reading and writing exam would be a completely different story unless they had been through University and had experience of context reading and academic writing. I always tell my students that by the time they reach a C1 level, they have a better understanding of English grammar that 90% of native speakers. I remember my friends back home in the UK used to say "Oh, your job is so easy!", so I'd send them C1 exams and mark it for them and have to tell them they'd failed. Just because you speak a language natively, doesn't mean you've mastered it. The vast majority of native speakers couldn't explain adjective order, or why we use the present perfect over the past simple and vice versa. And don't even get me started on asking anyone to explain what a mixed, inverted, conditional is!!
To pass ANY foreign language exam at the highest level possible is amazing. In my 16 years teaching English all over the word, the vast majority stop at B2, some get the C1, and very, very few even attempt the C2. So for this girl to have passed a Japanese C2 exam, at such a young age, makes her an incredibly gifted language user.
And you were spot on when you said "dating vibes" - I worked in China for 2 years and literally all the male "teachers" there bar one were there to "date" Chinese girls, they had no idea how to explain something as simple as articles and it disgusted me that they used my vocation to prey on students. Unfortunately language teaching is a completely unregulated industry and so it's a breeding ground for predators or people looking to make money from desperate students.
As someone who is the military I can tell u ppl who wear their uniform/cammo outside of their job probably are either not actually in the military or just have something wrong with them
I love the work that you and your team put into every single video. We really appreciate y’all. 💕💕💝
Lily did not deserve this at all. Huang is absolutely insane and the fact a cop actually fell for all the many lies he told. He had her murdered all because she didn’t kiss him on the New Year? There is a special place in hell waiting for him, Z and C. Beautiful Lily should still be here and living her dream as a flight attendant. It’s just awful and senseless.
In the Philippines, being in a relationship with an armed personnel (cops, military) means digging your own grave and escorting yourself to hell.
idk why but I always assumed that America was the only country that had intense military propaganda and people who fantasized about being in the military. I always thought that if a person was obsessed with the military, they were actually obsessed with the idea of killing someone and not getting in trouble for it. It’s interesting and scary to see this obsession in different countries as well.
Maybe that thought came from the fact that in other countries (not all) its mandated.
@@ScreaamJaniii oh yeah that's a good point
@@ScreaamJaniii Definitely. If it's mandatory for everyone, everyone thinks about the ways to escape from it. Bribery, joining random diploma mill uni, getting hurt on purpose e.t.c. It's like that in our country, none wants to join military. But if it becomes something that not everyone can join, it might have an opposite effect on people. During COVID lockdown, selling of alcohol was forbidden in our city (increased domestic violence from drunk spouses). Suddenly i craved an alcohol despite having an allergic from it. It's very weird phenomenon.
this is such a tragic story. he tricked everyone he was in the special ops, he persuaded two people into murdering an innocent person (not saying they are innocent), basically murdered her and then lied about everything. this is insane. no matter where you stand at with the death penalty…i think this was justifiable. he killed her for the most insignificant reason, the thought pf what he could do in the future if he put his mind on it is terrifying.
man, my heart bleeds for her parents. how could anyone be so cruel and insecure?
Keep up the amazing story telling and keeping the stories that needs to be heard, be heard through your platform(s). Appreciate the work, dedication and talent for us to enjoy, educate. Aloha n mahalo, Yong
I know this a super serious case but the cackle I let out when Stephanie said, "He loves wearing camo, he was practically invisible!" 😂😂😂😂😂
This honestly makes me realize that not everybody has the best intentions. You never know what goes through someone's mind. I never believed that's this was something that could cause MURDER! I find it quite disapointing and scary as there could be people with this mindset everywhere I go or I could even be friends with someone like this makes me want to be more cautious with who I am close friends with.
like it or not but parents instinct and gut feeling always have somewhat of a significance in them.
For real. People always tell me to trust my gut
You mentioned that her family had to pay for they lawyers? If her boyfriend committed a crime and is being tired by the country, the family still has to hire an attorney? That's bananas. My heart goes out to her poor parents. Thank you for sharing! I love your work.
I'm not victim blaming because I probably would have done the same thing, but in hindsight, all of the details surrounding that trip were sketchy. What Special Ops guy is gonna be like, "Can I bring my girlfriend?" when sent on a mission? That's so unprofessional and also dangerous. Plus the idea that he was going to do this and hide it from his superiors is a red flag. It doesn't make him a very good soldier. How did he even get this job if he doesn't follow orders? And what would happen if they got caught?
Even before I knew the "twist" and you were talking about the trip I thought, "That sounds like a really bad idea."
RIP Lily.
Day 58 of saying that Stephanie is soo dedicated to her channels. Constantly posting on all 3 of them. Like she is literally feeding us. And also I would love it if you could cover the case of Javed Iqbal who killed 100 children.He was later on sentenced to being cut into 100 pieces for the 100 children he killed. I would love if you cover it.
Your husband not figuring out that the bf is the one planning her murder when you explain the flashing the light up the mountain had me lol, As soon as you said he wanted to do a trip...I knew but this is a horrible sad story. She must've been so confused at the end of her life. So sad. RIP
Whats terrifying about this is that, as far as we know, there was no mention of any abuse at all. No mention of any arguments they might have had over the things that made him upset. He really just bottled up his emotions and lived from what it seemed on the outside, a normal healthy relationship with her all the while plotting her murder. It really shows how much of a monster this guy truly was.
“ … really hot… oh where is she going!” Love your husband’s reactions to the story telling … he is so in tune hahahah … This such a sad story
Hong’s father should be investigated. Who knows how many times he covered-up for his son. Maybe Lily is not Hong’s first victim.
If the family of the victims wanted the death penalty and got it
Then justice was served
Who are we to decide on their behalf? They just lost their daughter.
If we lived in a world where the fate of the criminal was always in the hands of their victims, we'd see a world more just.
OMg finally a story where there is actual justice at the end. Its crazy how sick people fit in to society so well that they can trick anyone at any time for no rational reason.
I’m glad she and her family got the justice they deserved. That was a very bizarre situation of murder… 😮
4:25 omg I’ve played PUBG like 2 years ago …was obsessed with it ! Can’t believe they plotted a murder that way! 😟
What a sad story, I was literally crying at the end!! I’m glad Lilly’s family stayed strong and got justice for her. May she now rest in peace
How insensitive and disrespectful of Hong’s dad to ever in his right mind think that money could suffice for Lily’s murder. Smh. So glad Lily’s dad rejected that because seriously. How the hell is the money supposed to fix anything? No amount of money could repair that. The audacity!
A Chinese girl, fluent in Japanese language, with a dream of becoming a flight attendant on Singapore airlines！ My head is spinning.
There is a case that happened not long in Ghana where 2 teens killed their friend who was 11 year old cos they wanted to use him for money rituals . They are currently serving life in prison . If you can cover this case it shook the whole country because we barely here such stuff .
Omg, normally these don't get to me but the ending. Lily's Dad!!! I'm sobbing.
The dad at the end broke my heart 💔
What i love the most about listening to these stories is how stephanie builds it up until bam, plot twist. It's so sad tho to think that the person you trust your life with is actually the one plotting to end it.
"shut the front door" 33:07
I'm glad that justice has been done. My heart goes out to the parents who weren't bought off and did the right thing.
TWIST AFTER TWIST☹️ this poor girl she was so beautiful and did not deserve this at ALL. That man is disgusting and a disgrace to human kind. I hope he gets what’s coming to him. I hope that angel rests in peace😔❤️
I feeeel so bad for her, especially knowing she was fooled by the person she loved who's just a low sick psycho.
For real. The person that you loved and could trust with your life even. 😢 Poor woman. R.I.P. to her
