SBS 'I want to know about it' aired on the 15th' deals with the murder of Lee's girlfriend in Hanoi, Vietnam, last year. The father said "My son has bipolar disorder (bipolar disorder) and acted like a person who took drugs because of the excessive release of dopamine" It is likely the influence of mental illness drugs. It could be a reason for the commutation."
In fact, Lee was exempted from military service due to bipolar disorder type 1, and he was hospitalized and treated for symptoms of mania and depression in 2023 and took medicine. My father said there was an earthquake, but if the Earth's rotation axis is set straight, the earthquake will stop, so I left home in shorts and headed to Vietnam," he said of the situation at the time.
Lee is a professional gamer who made his name known by the nickname `Yaharong' while working as a professional gamer of 'League of Legends'. However, on May 29 last year, he was arrested for killing his girlfriend Park Hyun-ah (33, pseudonym) at a hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam. Immediately after the crime, he left the room alone and went to the rooftop to make a suicide fuss, and confessed to the crime after being arrested by the police.
In his initial statement, Lee killed Park for refusing to have sex", but later reversed his statement that he accidentally committed the crime after a quarrel after learning about Park's prostitution in the past.
Lee's acquaintance said "He is the protagonist of the 2023 rampage at a nail shop in his naked body. The drug test was negative at the time, but the Vietnamese investigation detected drug components." Lee is said to have been violent by treating Park recklessly, such as swearing at him. There was also a possibility that Park decided to part ways for this reason.
Currently, Lee is in a Vietnamese prison, and it is impossible to visit because no formal indictment has been made yet. The lawyer is `psychologically evaluated and waiting for the results"It's not clear exactly what kind of drugs he was taking" he said.
The psychiatrist analyzed that "it is certain that marijuana has been administered" but that "it is necessary to closely investigate whether marijuana and other drugs have promoted the rapid recurrence of manic illustrations.'
