Korean Female Air Force Sergeant Takes Her Own Life On Her Wedding Day - Case of Lee Yeram

Overview

Yeram’s wedding day was almost perfect. It was one of the happiest days of her life in a very long time. She spent the day grabbing fast food with her new husband, unpacking their newlywed house, and calling each other “wife” and “husband.” Later that night, on their wedding night, Lee Yeram would take her own life. Why? Why would she do this after one of the happiest moments of her life? Just 81 days prior, she was sexually assaulted by her Air Force senior sergeant. This case would become one of South Korea’s most talked about cases with layers of corruption.
