Korean Female Streamer Found Dead In Cambodia, Chinese Couple Arrested For Abandoning Her Body
According to news reports on June 11, KST, a Korean woman in her 30s was found dead in Cambodia on June 6. Shockingly, her body was discovered by locals, wrapped in a blanket, and dumped in a pond of a village near Phnom Penh, the country’s capital.
The Cambodian police started investigating the incident and identified the victim, “A,” as a Korean tourist. It was later confirmed that she is a famous BJ (broadcasting jockey) in South Korea, with more than 250,000 followers on social media.
The cause of death still remains undetermined. The Cambodian police told the media that they are investigating the possibility of murder and are waiting for autopsy reports to determine the exact cause of death.
The Korean police have confirmed that the victim had gone to Cambodia on a trip with an acquaintance and was treated at a local hospital. According to reports from Cambodia, the police there have arrested a Chinese couple who own the hospital where “A” was treated. Based on witness statements, it appears that the two abandoned the victim’s body at the pond after she died at their hospital.
Though the specifics of the victim’s identity are not confirmed, based on a blurred photo of her Instagram page that was displayed on the news, it is being presumed that “A” is BJ Ah Yeong.
Despite being a popular live streamer in South Korea, Ah Yeong recently announced her departure from the job through an Instagram post.

I’m done with my BJ life. I’m going to live away from the spotlight for a while. Once I return to Korea, I’m going to upload a video that shares some of my honest thoughts. I’ve seen and heard a lot of things, and it has given me a lot of insight. I hope you can take it simply as ‘Ahyeong’s Opinions.’ And, as i always say, I love communicating. Please be brave and send me your DM. I won’t ignore it. But I will ignore weird comments, hehe. Ah Yeong’s new life as a normal person❤️. I must live zealously.
