Super Junior's Kyuhyun and KARA's Heo Young Ji opened up about their past experiences with stalking. On the July 19 episode of MBN and SBS Plus's 'I Met a Psychopath,' the panel explored real-life crimes that took place in people's homes under the theme, "Why Did You Come to My House?" The episode highlighted disturbing cases involving stalking, home invasions, voyeurism, and scams targeting elderly people living alone, leaving the cast visibly shaken. During the broadcast, Kyuhyun and Heo Young Ji shared personal stories of being stalked. Kyuhyun recalled an incident from his days living in Super Junior's dormitory, revealing that a fan once hid inside a fire hose cabinet in the apartment hallway in an attempt to gain access to the members' residence. Heo Young Ji then revealed that she and her family endured harassment from a stalker for seven years. She said the individual repeatedly visited her family's café, obtained her vehicle's license plate number as well as her family's contact information, and even sent a letter saying, "I want to kill everyone jealous." Her account left the cast stunned.
The first case featured on the program involved a home invasion scheme carried out through a random chat application. The perpetrator impersonated the victim, sending her home address and door lock passcode to strangers and tricking them into visiting her residence. The cast was especially shocked after learning that the culprit was the victim's seemingly friendly next-door neighbor, reacting with comments such as, "That's a real psychopath," and "Is this really a true story?" Following the segment, Kyuhyun and Jun Hyun Moo also shared tips on preventing similar crimes, including security features available on digital door locks and smart lock systems. Another segment, titled "Psychocast," hosted by Nucksal, covered the case of an electrician who secretly installed a miniature camera inside a smoke detector and illegally recorded a married couple's private life for five years. The perpetrator turned out to be a fellow resident in the same apartment complex and the father of the couple's child's friend. The revelation that there were multiple victims horrified the cast. The show also discussed the large-scale hacking of apartment wall-pad systems across South Korea, raising further concerns about residential privacy. The program also revisited the real-life case known as "The Leech," involving a man who abused an elderly person living alone for 10 years while stealing the victim's pension. Posing as the victim's grandson, the suspect even transferred his official residence registration to the elderly person's home and subjected the victim to years of physical abuse and confinement. The truth finally came to light after a newly moved-in neighbor alerted police. When officers arrived, the victim quietly handed them a note reading, "He's not my grandson. I don't know him." The cast condemned the case, calling the perpetrator "the most vicious psychopath we've seen so far." Kyuhyun also introduced the case of a so-called "silver hunter," a woman who targeted a wealthy senior with dementia and fraudulently obtained a massive fortune. Claiming to be a friend of the South Korean president, she allegedly registered a legal marriage and forged a will to inherit the victim's assets before abandoning the elderly individual, leaving the panel in disbelief. After the broadcast, the cast reflected on the disturbing stories, saying, "We always think our homes are the safest places, but realizing they can become the most terrifying places was frightening." They added, "The crimes targeting society's most vulnerable people were especially heartbreaking."
