(I'm not displaying the image here because even though it's mosaic'd you may find it disturbing. I certainly do.) The Chosun Ilbo reported on Nov 10 that a fan of boy band MBLAQ member Lee Jun sliced his wrist open with a knife in order to write Mr. Lee a love letter... with his own arterial blood. He also apparently created a video recording the entire act, still shots from which have been making the rounds of Korean blogs. One netizen wrote "that isn't a lover, that's a stalker". Others wondered what kind of person could do such a thing. At least from this story I got to learn the word 혈서, meaning "something written in blood". I've heard stories of Japanese and Korean teachers a century ago forcing badly-behaved students to write letters of apology to their parents in blood squeezed from their fingertips. Never knew there was a specific word for it, though. Yuck.

Don't forget this girl who wrote a fan letter to 2PM using her menstruation blood.
I love that in the mosaic they blurred the blood on his wrist, but show the letters written in blood with no pixels. Why is one grosser than the other?
It looks like a girl from the pictures. And arterial blood? I don't think so...
Yah I agree Sigh, Clearly a girl in the pictures.
I think there's some sort of law where you're not allowed to show open wounds (?) which is why when they had that protest where they tore a live pig apart they blurred out every part of the pig except its squealing face. SO. GODDAMN. CREEPY.
You guys are so critical, but how else is she going to get his attention?
Boy or Girl fan it doesn't really matter. Who ever this level headed, calm and stable person is they obviously wanted the blog-buzz associated with the act. But when you grow up surrounded by acts of extreme protest such as cutting your pinkie finger off, or cutting yourself with a box cutter..... some of the madness will rug off on impressionable youth. Bravo
haha I meant rub off^^
Sorry, guys, but I'm not convinced it's a girl. Look around sometimes on the subway and you'll notice that hair-less feminine hands with long nails do not necessarily a girl make. This IS Korea.
I had a girl once obsessed with me, she used to put her menstruation blood soaked penties on my bag, and my mum discovered the blood soaked penties when she tried to clean my bag at laundry she thought I was sick boy who lurks at girl's puberty stuffs.
But when you grow up surrounded by acts of extreme protest such as cutting your pinkie finger off, or cutting yourself with a box cutter..... some of the madness will rug off on impressionable youth. Bravo I doubt it. Years after the fact, the finger-chopping incidents of the past get far more play in the K-blogs than they do among the average South Korean. Burning his house down, on the other hand, that's a way too common motif of disgruntled expression these days in the ROK.
I saw the picture. It's simply unbelievable the lengths that some people go for their celebrity (I guess "idol" is more appropriate here) obsessions.
What the heck is "MBLAQ"? Man-Boy-Love-Association from Queens? They have that here too? Sick... LOL |
