On June 25, the victim, referred to as Ms. A, posted on social media, "If there are any experts on stalking or other victims, could you help me?" She added, "The perpetrator who stalked me received a one-year prison sentence and sent me a letter while serving his sentence."


The letter, which Ms. A disclosed along with her post, featured drawings that appeared to be created by the perpetrator, Mr. B—a dandelion flower and a magpie feather. On the back of these images, which had unclear meanings, was a message that read, "Gift for Ms. OO (the victim's name). See you soon^^ I'll come to find you."


In the letter, Mr. B mentioned Ms. A's name and wrote, "I don't know what to say, so I'm leaving this message," and continued, "I have always treated women around me kindly, wanting only good things for them. But when someone is precious and I care too much, they fall ill; when I try to hold on, it hurts, so I let them go."


He went on to say, "This is my first and last letter," and added, "I had no intention to pursue romantic feelings. I just went because you were there."


He also wrote, "I hope you'll think about it. Since I've never tried to hold on to you, letting go isn't that difficult," and concluded, "I hope you were safe and happy today, and that you will be in the future as well."

On the inside of the envelope, he also wrote, "Apologies are for when you can't do anything at all."


Ms. A pleaded, "The stalker knows the locations of both my parents' store and my sibling's store, so not only my safety but also my family's safety is at risk. Since I received the letter, I haven't been able to sleep well and am suffering greatly, mentally."


Upon hearing the story, online users expressed outrage, saying, "It's absurd that a stalking perpetrator can send a letter to the victim." They further advised, "The phrases 'See you soon' and 'I'll come to find you' could serve as evidence of threats or ongoing intent to stalk. Take photos of the letter as evidence and file a new complaint."


Subsequently, Ms. A filed another police complaint against Mr. B. When she asked, "Why wasn’t the letter to the victim from the prison inspected?" the investigating officer reportedly responded, "We will contact the prison and take measures to prevent it from happening again."



Ms. A added, "Currently, the stalker is incarcerated and cannot stalk me directly, but I am told that various preventive measures are being taken for after his release. I hope he receives an aggravated sentence for this incident and that I never have to face him again."
