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

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.

....wow uhh.........I feel sorry for the GIRL!...I mean seriously. She found it necissary to suicide? and the guy...prolly not easy for him either. 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...
