Overview
- Reports say Mina Chan, a 26-year-old Japanese influencer, died during a livestream on August 5 though the moment of death does not appear in the broadcast.
- Coverage links the harassment to organized doxxing and coordinated attacks on anonymous forums and chat platforms such as Reddit and Discord that escalated after an ENHYPEN autograph-event interaction.
- BELIFT LAB and ENHYPEN member Ni‑Ki have said his later comment was not directed at Chan and that the wave of hate grew from cyberbullying rather than from a band statement.
- Yongsan police in Seoul have opened an investigation and are tracing IPs and online profiles; legal experts say forum admins or users who incited attacks could face charges such as aggravated harassment or inducing suicide if evidence supports it.
- A short clip of Chan pleading with viewers to stop the attacks circulated widely on social platforms and has driven public calls for platform accountability and justice for those targeted by coordinated abuse.
