Title: In South Korea, online rumors can hit hard
Post by: Foxy Brown on August 24, 2006, 08:28:46 PM

Kim Myong Jae's estranged girlfriend was found dead in her room in Seoul on April 22 last year, six days after she poisoned herself.
 
Two weeks later, Kim, a 30-year-old accountant, found that he had been transformed into the No. 1 hate figure of South Korea's Internet community, a victim of a growing problem in a country that boasts the world's highest rate of broadband use.

Yeah, not even given a chance to explain his own side of the story.  Happens too often in the world, really.

Wow, on my birthday too :o But that's beside the point.

I really wish some  people would learn to think more often and not believe every darn thing they hear or read, seriously.

I mean she was his girlfriend....but the way they're spreading rumours like that....actually making him into the...no.1 most hated figure? o.o;; pretty harsh...
