out of love

The court heard that the stalking began in December of the previous year. The woman not only loitered around the property and threw items over the wall but also attempted to leave letters and photographs, claiming her actions were "out of love." Her persistence led to her arrest on December 13th when she followed a food delivery worker to gain entry through a side gate.

extreme level of obsession

Despite being warned and later issued an emergency order prohibiting her from approaching within 100 meters of the property, her visits continued. Police referred her to prosecutors in February after she had visited the property approximately 22 times in total. The court acknowledged mitigating factors, including a low risk of re-offending, before issuing a one-year prison sentence, suspended for two years. She is also expected to be deported from South Korea, pending any appeal.
