Korean 'Love Game' Under Lens After Ghaziabad Sisters Suicide Raises Alarm On Digital Addiction

As India mourns the loss of three young lives in Ghaziabad, attention has shifted to a Korean task-based “love game” suspected to have influenced the sisters’ emotional world. Police say these platforms function through interactive challenges that create strong emotional attachment rather than competition. Experts warn that such games can blur the line between virtual and real life, especially for children facing isolation. Investigators found the sisters had withdrawn from school since the pandemic and spent most of their time together online. Family members had objected to their excessive gaming, but officials stress that no single app has been officially named yet. The tragedy has sparked a nationwide conversation on digital supervision, mental health and the impact of foreign online cultures on Indian children. Authorities are now analysing devices and digital activity patterns as India grapples with the darker consequences of unchecked screen exposure.
