New Delhi: The pocket diary of the minor girls in the Ghaziabad triple suicide case revealed their obsession with Korean culture and Korea, resulting in the disastrous end of a family.
“We love Korean, love, love, love,” echoes the diary of three sisters, raising serious concerns over the use of mobile phones among minors. Pakhi (12), Prachi (14), and Vishika (16) wrote an eight-page suicide note before jumping from the ninth floor on Wednesday early morning.
In the eight-page note, their parents found out about their obsession with Korean culture and also accused them of trying to get over their Korea-mania.
Earlier, the parents had imposed restrictions on their use of mobile phones, but even then, the girls used their father’s phone to play a task-based Korean game.
“How will you make us leave Korean? Korean was our life, so how dare you make us leave our life? You didn’t know how much we loved them. Now you have seen the proof. Now we are convinced that Korean and K-Pop are our life. We didn’t love you and family as much as we loved the Korean actor and the K-Pop group. Korean was our life,” the suicide note read.
Additionally, besides Korean culture, including movies, actors, and K-Pop, they left a listicle of other cultures, including Thai, Chinese, and Japanese music and movies.
Hollywood and English songs were cited in the note, and several cartoons were also mentioned, like Doraemon, Peppa Pig, and Disney characters.
The girls listed multiple survival games in their suicide note, like Poppy Playtime, Evil Game, Ice Cream Man Game, and The Baby in Yellow.
The girls also wanted to instill the obsession with the Korean culture in another sister, ‘Devu,’ but their parents never allowed them. “You introduced her to Bollywood, which we hated more than our lives,” they wrote in the note.
“We felt bad about this, so we made a decision and made Devu our enemy, because no one at home allowed her to be like us. So, from that day on, we separated Devu from ourselves and told her that we are Korean and K-Pop, and you are Indian and Bollywood,” the note read.
The girls didn’t attend school over the past two years and felt bad when their parents told them to educate their sister Devu rather than share the love for Korean with her.
The girl’s obsession with the Korean culture went to another level, where the minor girls were thinking that they wanted to marry a Korean man in the future, but they knew their parents would force them to marry an Indian.
“We liked and loved a Korean, but you wanted to make us marry an Indian. We never expected anything like this. So that’s why we are committing suicide, the note added.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, they played a game called ‘We are not Indians,’ which gave them tasks on a regular basis, and the last of these is believed to have led to their suicide.
