On June 19th, girl trot group Iris�s Lee Eun Mi (24) was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. The Kyeonggi Shi Heung Police stated that the singer was stabbed several times around her neck by ex-boyfriend Mr. Cho (28) near 2:15AM KST on her way home. Reportedly, Lee Eun Mi recently broke up with Mr. Cho. According to Mr. Cho, the two were in a serious relationship and were even considering marriage. He lost his ability to act rationally and committed murder.

Mr. Cho is currently in police custody. On Sunday, Lee�s sister wrote, �Today (June 19th) my sister went to heaven. I still can�t believe it. Please pray for her as she rests in peace� on Lee Eun Mi�s Cyworld mini homepage.

Lee Eun Mi debuted in 2005 with the single �Message Of Love� and was part of Iris as their main vocalist.

Sounds a lot like the "too drunk to know" defense- a get out of jail free card.

So they're reprinting the suspect's reason. That doesn't make it sound like they're making him the victim.

Just because Hinckley says he's doing it for love and whatever, doesn't mean the press is sympathetic to him or making seem like he's a victim. They're printing it because that's what he said.

Why are they not supposed to print the suspect's reason for killing her?

To say nothing of the fact that things might be lost in translation.

Look the KPress can be bad, but this seems like a bit of a gun jump.

Ohh please! the guy is a psycho plain and simple.
he was probably the kind of Korean guy who wouldn't accept she break up with him, she wanted out because she knew he was crazy, and finally she felt his psychotic wrath!

why oh why she didn't ask her parents for help is beyond me..
very sad indeed when a crazy person will kill you rather than let you be free.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly as I read this. "He lost his ability to act rationally"?? Also, quoting the crazy cold-blooded killer's view of the relationship?
