In the first chapter of Killing Stalking, we are introduced to the two main characters, Oh Il-han and Jang Mi-hwa, who appear to lead ordinary lives. However, as the chapter progresses, it becomes clear that Il-han has an unhealthy obsession with Mi-hwa, his beautiful and seemingly kind neighbor.
Killing Stalking does not ease the reader into its world; it drops you straight into the deep end. Chapter 1 introduces us to Yoon Bum, a young man with a tragic past and a fragile mental state. We quickly learn that Bum has been obsessively stalking a handsome, enigmatic man named Oh Sangwoo.
Bum breaks into Sangwoo’s house, driven by a mix of infatuation and delusion. He hides in the closet, inhaling Sangwoo’s scent from his clothes. While hiding, Bum overhears Sangwoo arriving home. Sangwoo enters the bedroom with a woman. Their interaction shifts from sexual to violent: Sangwoo begins to strangle her. Bum, terrified and aroused, remains hidden. The woman is killed. Sangwoo then discovers Bum in the closet. Instead of killing him immediately, Sangwoo smiles and offers him a knife, saying, “You’re just in time for dinner.” The chapter ends with Bum in shock, unable to escape.
