'Korea Is Our Life, You Can't Make Us Leave It': Ghaziabad Sisters Express Love For Korean Culture In Last Words Before Suicide

Ghaziabad: A disturbing case has emerged from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, where three minor sisters allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the ninth floor of their residential building. The girls, aged 16, 14 and 12, were found dead in the early hours, prompting a large-scale investigation by local police. Preliminary police investigations suggest the sisters were deeply influenced by Korean culture and were upset after their family restricted them from it.

‘Korea Is Our Life…’

A handwritten diary with an eight-page suicide note was recovered from the house of the three sisters. In the note was written an apology to their parents for taking the extreme step. The diary mentioned that their phones had been taken away and, therefore, they could not access Korean games.

"Sorry, Papa...we cannot leave Korea. Korea is our life, and you can't make us leave it. That's why we are committing suicide," the note read. 

Asking their parents to read the diary, they wrote a note, titled ‘True Life Story’. Their last words were, “Iss dairi me jo kuch bhi likha hai vo sab padhlo quki ye sab sach hai. Read now!! I'm really sorry. Sorry papa. (Whatever is written in this diary is true. Please read it now.)”

They Considered Themselves Korean

As per reports, the girls did not consider themselves to be Indians. They had also given each other Korean names, Further, the diary left behind by them was also written in Korea. In the suicide note, there were mentions of Korean culture and how much the girls loved the Korean culture.

‘Korean Love Game’

As per reports, the girls were influenced by task-based online “Korean love game” or similar digital content. ‘Korean love games’ are interactive ‘romance’ games where users can pose as a Korean male or a Korean female and interact with virtual partners.

The girls had reportedly been playing Korean games for three years and had even stopped attending school because of it.

According to police sources, data extracted from the phone refers to a “50 tasks for 50 days” sequence. Some of the tasks allegedly required participants to visit isolated or eerie places at night, while others involved self-harm activities, including drawing whale symbols on the body. 

The police said that between 1.30 am and 2 am, the three girls left their bedroom, entered the adjacent room and locked the door from the inside. They allegedly opened a section of the window, placed a stool-like ladder near it and jumped from the ninth floor.

An eyewitness named Arun, who is a resident of the society and the first person to alert the police, told investigators that he saw the girls sitting on the window ledge moments before the fall. According to his statement, one girl was seated on the ledge while the other two appeared to be trying to pull her back to safety. During the struggle, the girl allegedly pulled the other two with her and all three fell from the building. No family member was present near the balcony or window at the time, the police said.
