Stalking cases that can lead to such irreversible violent crimes are taking place in various places every day.
The police are receiving nearly 80 stalking reports a day, and reporter Kim Bo-mi covered the situation.

A woman in her 20s called the police station yesterday (20th) after a long thought.
She filed a stalking charge last June after a man she had met several times continued unwanted contact, which has since risen to a higher level for her crimes.
[Stalking Victim: If you keep calling from an unknown number after changing 4 numbers, it is that person.
I get so many phone calls a day, and sometimes thousands of KakaoTalk messages.]
I even found out the personal information of her family and relatives that she never gave her, and continued to threaten me.
[Stalking Victim: Of course, we know the names of our parents, and we know the exact address of our relatives' houses and maternal grandmother's houses, and now we take pictures of those things.
As if to see me (on SNS).]
Ms. A notified the police yesterday of this damage and requested separation measures and personal protection, but her pain and fear do not diminish.
[Stalking Victim: Then I reported her and I actually thought that friend wouldn't contact me anymore.
She's sorry to comment, but she's been so scary since the Sindang Station incident and she knows everything about me.]
As in the case of Jeon Joo-hwan, in the process of forcing an agreement, there are many cases of threats and threats rather than repenting of their sins.
Earlier this month, the stalking perpetrator, B, a man in his 20s, went to the victim with a weapon one day before the court appearance to decide the provisional measures.
He was trying to get the victim to file a non-punishment petition.
On the 18th, he went to the victim's house and was caught by the police saying, "Do you know the Shindang Station incident? I will go and kill you now."
In the first half of this year, 112 reports of stalking reached an average of 78.8 cases per day.
[Seung Jae-hyun / Research Fellow, Korea Institute for Criminal Justice Policy: I have to seriously think about how much stalking will ruin the lives of victims.
Lowering the hurdles of restraint...

It is time for investigative agencies as well as our society to properly recognize the seriousness of the stalking crime.
