MBN·SBS Plus's 'Psychopaths I've Met' is attracting hot topics by sweeping the top positions of major OTT charts right after its first broadcast.
'Psychopaths I've Met' is a real-story-based thriller talk program that deals with actual experiences of encountering antisocial personalities around them. Since its first broadcast on the 12th, it has consistently ranked 1st in Netflix's entertainment section, and has appeared in the top rankings of Coupang Play and Wave. The program is receiving positive reviews as it gains word-of-mouth through overwhelming immersion based on true stories and realistic fear.
In the second episode airing on the 19th, Gyuhyun and Heo Young-ji open up about shocking stalking experiences they directly faced during their idol activities. Gyuhyun publicly shares an anecdote about a fan who hid inside a fire extinguisher in a corridor-style dormitory to try to spy on the entrance door's password, shocking the cast members.
Heo Young-ji also confesses to stalking damage that lasted approximately 7 years from 2016. The explanation states that the stalker found her parents' cafe and even collected her family's vehicle numbers to make contact. In particular, the shock intensifies as the stalker misunderstood that the food her parents kindly provided meant their relationship was acknowledged, and it is revealed that the stalker sent threatening letters to others. The limitations of the punishment laws at the time that Heo Young-ji had to face during lawyer consultations in 2020 will also be disclosed.
The production team conveyed a sense of caution, stating, "We vividly captured the reality and pain of stalking crimes that even celebrities could not escape from." 'Psychopaths I've Met' airs every Sunday at 10 p.m.
