In Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, three sisters aged 12, 14 and 16 tragically died by suicide after jumping from their ninth-floor home, shocking the nation. Police and family sources say the girls were deeply immersed in Korean pop culture — from K-dramas and K-pop to online games and adopting Korean online personas — and became distressed when their mobile phones were confiscated by their father. An eight-page suicide note revealed their intense attachment to Korean culture and frustration over restrictions, while experts highlight broader concerns about teen screen addiction, emotional isolation, and mental health in a digital age.
