Voice actor and broadcaster Seo Yu-ri wrote a petition for severe punishment against online trolls and also asked her fans to write the petition.
On the 21st, Seo Yu-ri said through her personal account, "I have suffered great pain due to years of persistent stalking, insults, and defamation by a specific individual since 2020. The perpetrator has posted thousands of malicious messages on internet communities, saying extreme curses directed at me such as 'hurry up and commit suicide' and 'get hit by a truck.'"
On that day, Seo Yu-ri explained, "As a result, I had to increase my psychiatric treatment and medication, and I suffered serious mental damage to the point where my doctor recommended hospitalization due to a high risk of suicide. In addition, I faced significant economic losses due to severe impacts on my activities as a broadcaster and advertising contracts."
She continued, "However, even after being apprehended, the perpetrator denies his crimes and remains consistent in his falsehoods. I believe that the attitude showing no sign of remorse signals that such crimes could be repeated in the future."
Seo Yu-ri emphasized, "I believe this incident is not merely a personal problem, but a representative case demonstrating how serious the consequences of stalking and defamation through the internet can be. I sincerely hope that the perpetrator will be punished severely so that no one else suffers as I have."
She added, "I request those who wish to share my sentiments to do so. If you write a petition for severe punishment, it will be a great help to me and to others who may find themselves in the same position as I have. I believe that each of your petitions can come together to create a society where victims no longer have to fight alone. I earnestly ask for your help."

Hello, this is broadcaster Seo Yu-ri.
I have suffered great pain due to years of persistent stalking, insults, and defamation by a specific individual since 2020. The perpetrator posted thousands of malicious messages on internet communities like DC Inside, saying extreme curses such as 'hurry up and commit suicide' and 'get hit by a truck.'
As a result, I had to increase my psychiatric treatment and medication, and I suffered serious mental damage.
In addition, I faced significant economic losses due to severe impacts on my activities as a broadcaster and advertising contracts.
However, even after being apprehended, the perpetrator denies his crimes and remains consistent in his falsehoods. I believe that the attitude showing no sign of remorse signals that such crimes could be repeated in the future.
I believe this incident is not merely a personal problem, but a representative case demonstrating how serious the consequences of stalking and defamation through the internet can be.
I sincerely hope that the perpetrator will be punished severely so that no one else suffers as I have. Therefore, I request those who wish to share my sentiments to do so.
If you write a petition for severe punishment, it will be a great help to me and to others who may find themselves in the same position as I have.
I believe that each of your petitions can come together to create a society where victims no longer have to fight alone.
I earnestly ask for your help.
Additionally, I am receiving reports of malicious comments or posts that defame my honor.
