Singer Oh Yu Jin, who is 14 years old, revealed that she is being stalked and harassed.
On October 30, Xsports News reported that Oh Yu Jin had sued a 60-year-old man for stalking and defamation.
According to the report, the man is said to have persistently tried to raise controversy over Oh Yu Jin’s family and had even gone as far as to claim he was the father of the singer.
Spring is the best. But, you know what? We only see Oh Yu Jin’s grandmother and never her father and mother. Is there something they are hiding? I want to know why her father and mother are never seen.

It is also reported that the man contacted Oh Yu Jin’s grandmother, who she lives with, asking to meet.
I analyzed her singing and even how she coughs. I am an expert analyzer. If she takes after me, first of all, she would sing well and speak and write well. If she doesn’t do these things, she isn’t my child.
People around me tell me that she looks a lot like me. Ever since then, I have been watching her. Her teeth and curly hair are similar to mine… I felt I needed to find out. It has now come to a point that I can’t work (without thinking about her).

The report also reveals that the man had gone to Oh Yu Jin’s school and to her performances. According to the representatives of the singer, the police haven’t been able to do much and revealed the singer and her family are living in fear.
Because (the stalker) hasn’t acted in a threatening matter at (Oh Yu Jin’s) school and performances, the police stated they couldn’t arrest him. We did receive a smartwatch for her protection, but we are always careful as we don’t know what he is capable of.
Even after being investigated by the police, the stalker is leaving comments and causing harm to the family. We would like for him to stop. We ask that the law appropriately handles stalkers on behalf of Oh Yu Jin and all victims. We are looking for ways for him to receive the maximum punishment by law.
