She was also the target of harassment on social networks since 2019. The cause of his death would be suicide according to his family. Note that this young woman mainly used the Twitch platform to exchange with its 169,000 subscribers. However, behind this popularity were hidden many hate messages.

Indeed, Cho Jang-mi was accused of misandry and been bullied for years. In 2019, this influencer would have done a gesture letting it be known that she hated men. This while she was shooting a live video on Twitch. At the time, it was his mother who managed and moderate hate commentsaccording to The Guardian. Sadly, Cho Jang-mi’s nerves didn’t hold up. She is dead by committing suicide a year after mass harassment.
