South Korean League of Legends professional eSports player known as Yaharong (real name Lee Chan-ju) is reported to have attempted to suffocate a woman with a pillow in a hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam, after she rejected his advances. He then tried to escape and commit suicide by jumping off the hotel's 65th floor but was stopped by hotel staff and later arrested. Yaharong will be extradited to South Korea for trial. This incident has shocked the gaming community as Yaharong, once praised as a rising star, had a sudden downfall marked by contract termination in 2022 and a previous arrest for alleged indecent exposure in April 2021.
