‘We Love Korean More Than Our Family’: Ghaziabad Sisters’ Diary Reveals Obsession With K-Pop

Three sisters — aged 16, 14 and 11 —who allegedly died by suicide after jumping from their ninth-floor apartment in a Ghaziabad high-rise early on Wednesday reportedly left behind a handwritten note indicating a deep obsession with Korean culture.

According to police officials, the girls, who were half-sisters, had written an eight-page diary entry that was recovered from their flat. The contents of the note have been verified by investigators and reviewed by Hindustan Times.

In the note, the girls wrote, “We are Korean and K-Pop and you are India and Bollywood. We love Korean more than our family,” suggesting a strong emotional attachment to foreign entertainment and pop culture.

Details Mentioned in the Note

The diary reportedly listed 19 things the girls said they “loved”, including actors and shows from Korea, Thailand, the US, London and Japan. It also mentioned mobile games and online content such as “Dobby Studio Game,” “Evil Nun Game,” and “Ice Scream Man.”

The note stated that “Korean and K-pop are our life” and described how the sisters tried to involve their younger brother in their interests. They wrote that they introduced him to fictional Korean characters and encouraged him to share their fascination.

However, they claimed their mother discouraged this behaviour, which left them feeling hurt and isolated. “We used to feel bad,” the note said, adding that they eventually began distancing themselves emotionally.

Emotional Distress and Fear

The diary also suggested that the girls were distressed over frequent scolding at home and anxious about their future. They reportedly expressed fear of marriage, particularly to an Indian man, and wrote that they felt unable to cope with their situation.

Investigators said the note indicated feelings of emotional isolation and frustration, which may have contributed to their extreme decision.

Police Investigation Ongoing

A senior Ghaziabad police officer confirmed that the contents of the note are being examined as part of the investigation. Officials are also speaking to family members, neighbours and school authorities to understand the circumstances leading up to the incident.

“No foul play has been detected so far, but we are looking into all aspects,” an officer said.
