Korean suspect in child pornography investigation falls from balcony and dies

A man in his 30s, suspected of child sexual exploitation, fell from the balcony of an 8th-floor apartment building in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.

According to reports from Gyeonggi Nambu Province police, the incident occurred late at night, around 11:00 p.m. on August 31.

The man (identified as Mr. A) was found by emergency services in a state of cardiac arrest when they arrived at the scene. Despite being rushed to hospital, he was later pronounced dead.

Mr. A was investigated for allegedly threatening to upload illegal sexual content involving minors on social media platforms. He allegedly posted such content before quickly deleting it.

Police were immediately called to the scene, but Mr A spent approximately 10 minutes on the balcony – at one point attempting to move to the balcony of a neighbouring apartment – ​​before eventually collapsing to his death just before rescue crews could reach him.

Internet users reacted strongly to the news online.

• “He caused immense suffering to innocent children, yet he couldn’t even be questioned a little? This is typical behavior of Korean men — strong only when they prey on the weak.”
• “Suicide is too easy for someone like him. They should have caught him and punished him properly.”
• “What a coward.”
• “Is this the same man as earlier today? I hope not.”
• “He knew he was guilty, so it’s fitting that he’s gone.”
• “Nice to hear this news.”
• “He got what he deserved.”
• “Died shamefully, tsk tsk.”
