Ceiling bangs and intercom calls now legally stalking in South Korea
A 55-year-old South Korean woman was fined 2 million won (US$1,400) and ordered to complete 40 hours of a stalking treatment program for repeatedly banging on her ceiling with a backscratcher and calling her upstairs neighbor via intercom nine times over two months. The Chuncheon District Court ruled the actions violated South Korea's stalking law, setting a precedent for noise-dispute escalation.
