Tragic 'Korean Love Game' Linked to Sister's Deaths

Three sisters, aged 12, 14, and 16, tragically died by suicide in Ghaziabad. Investigations suggest their deaths may be linked to an online 'Korean love game,' which reportedly involves a 50-day sequence of tasks culminating in a suicide instruction. The sisters had reportedly become deeply addicted to this 'game,' even adopting Korean names and expressing their devotion to it when their parents tried to intervene.

The 'game' is said to begin with an unknown individual befriending a child online, posing as a foreigner and building trust before assigning escalating challenges. This pattern of online dares leading to self-harm is reminiscent of previous scares, including the 'Blue Whale Challenge' that emerged in Russia and gained notoriety in India in 2017, and the 'Momo Challenge' from 2018.
