Three minor sisters in Ghaziabad died after jumping from the 9th floor of their apartment building. Investigators believe the incident is linked to an online task-based game known as the ‘Korean Love Game’. The eldest of the three girls was only 16 years old.

What is the ‘Korean Love Game’?

The Korean Love Game is an online, interactive game built around emotional storytelling and virtual relationships. Players communicate with unknown people online and are asked to complete tasks to continue the story. Unlike casual mobile games, this game creates a strong emotional attachment, especially among children and teenagers, keeping them engaged for long hours every day.

How the game starts?

According to sources, the game usually begins when an unknown person contacts a child through social media or messaging apps. The person claims to be Korean or a foreign national and starts conversations about friendship and love. Over time, the child begins to trust the person.

Tasks become more dangerous over time

After gaining trust, the person assigns tasks. These tasks start small, such as staying awake late at night or following simple instructions. Gradually, the tasks become more difficult and mentally stressful. The children are allegedly threatened or pressured if they refuse to follow instructions. Reports say the game runs for 50 consecutive days.

Final task and suicide claims

Sources close to the investigation claim that the 50th task in the game is to commit suicide.

The Ghaziabad sisters were reportedly addicted to the game and had even stopped attending school two years ago. It is important to note that the exact app or platform involved has not been officially confirmed.

Similarities with past online challenges

The incident has revived memories of other dangerous online challenges:

Blue Whale Challenge (2017)

  • First reported in India after a 14-year-old boy’s death in Mumbai

Momo Challenge (2018)

Growing concern over online safety

The Ghaziabad case has raised serious concerns about online safety for children and teenagers, especially regarding unmonitored social media use and emotionally manipulative online interactions.

Police authorities continue to investigate the case to verify details and identify those responsible.
