He is not rich, so it is shocking that he was found to have raised money through theft and made a living on bread.
The reason I spent so much money was just because I wanted to hear 'oppa'.
According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Hong, who lives in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China, has grown obsessed with online live streaming since the beginning of this year.
He began pouring money into supporting a female host who was not identified.
At first, he wasted his family's savings, which caused him to feud with his family.
He later dabbled in theft.
While working in the hardware industry, he began stealing copper materials during delivery for his family's business.
Since May, copper has been regularly stolen during the delivery process and sold to waste recycling companies to earn money.
The theft continued until October 15, when the factory reported to the police station that a significant amount of copper had been stolen.
Hong, who was investigated by the police, turned himself in with his family.
At first, he confessed to only two recent thefts, but when police questioned him, who were suspicious of the significant amount of money coming and going, he finally confessed all the thefts.
He admitted that he has collected about 2.3 million yuan (about 440 million won) for more than 40 thefts since May, and spent all of his money on sending it to a live-streaming female host to raise her ranking.
As for the motive of the crime, he "I didn't want to meet her. I just wanted to hear her call me 'oppa'" he insisted.
He also said that he lived on only steamed bread because he had no living expenses.
Eventually, he was arrested for theft, and more than 1 million yuan has been recovered and returned to the factory so far.
Netizens who heard the news said, "'If you just wanted to hear 'oppa', record it and listen to it over and over again', 'you should go see a psychiatrist", "A policy is needed to restrict large amounts of live streaming support." posted comments such as.
