Has K-Pop ever lifted your spirits when you were down? For a 22 year old identified as Ms. Han, K-Pop was enough to talk her out of committing suicide.
On June 17 in Seoul, Korea at 9AM (KST), Ms. Han was spotted at the rooftop of an 11-story hotel building, sitting at the edge and about to commit suicide. According to inside sources, she was driven to this point when she received a text message from her boyfriend, who is currently serving in the military.
A police officer involved in the case explained the situation in these words: "The boyfriend was on break so he told his girlfriend to meet him at [Seoul Station], but was unable to actually see her. It seems like she wanted to meet him so that she could ask him to introduce her to a new job. However, because she couldn't meet her boyfriend and because of her current job situation, she made a drastic decision in the spur of the moment...."
Officers who managed to persuade Ms. Han from following through with that decision stated that they used K-Pop to change her mind. "She said she wanted to listen to idol music," they revealed. "So we asked if she'd come down if we put on music from a popular idol these days. So, with thoughts of wanting to safely rescue [Ms. Han], we quickly went to the store and bought an EXO CD. People say that EXO is the most popular these days. We also purchased a bromide (posters or pictures of celebs) and showed it to her."
Ms. Han finally came down from the rooftop after about an hour.
We're glad that she is safe now!
