Story out of Bundang-gu, South Korea:
The Korean games company Nexon is well-known for its very popular free-to-play games on both mobile platforms and PC. Their most well known titles being MapleStory, Dungeon Fighter Online, and most recently Dragon Nest. Its games haven’t kept all players happy, though.
Last Sunday, July 24, a car was driven into Nexon’s offices in South Korea at roughly 7am. The car smashed through the glass and ended up in the foyer. As it was a Sunday morning there was luckily nobody present to be hurt. The driver is a 33-year-old Chinese man who is in South Korea on a 3-month visitor permit. His blood alcohol was over the legal limit and the car had been borrowed from his brother who lives in South Korea. It’s not clear if he had permission to take the car or not, but either way he does not hold a driving license.
As to why the man, who’s surname is Lee, decided to drive a car into the building, he blames Nexon. Apparently he has become addicted to one or more of their free-to-play titles and believes they have ruined his life. He told police his decision to ram the building was done on impulse with the alcohol surely playing a big part in his decision to go for it.
Lee will now face multiple charges covering the damage to the building, dangerous driving, driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving without a license. He’ll also need to pay to have the damage repaired, and will likely be deported back to China once this is over and possibly even after some jail time has been served. He’s very lucky no one was injured or even killed. Cont.
