A 20-year-old female influencer, Gigi, and her air force cadet boyfriend Ikkyu were recently found dead in her condominium. A pistol, belonging to Ikkyu's father who is a military general, was discovered next to their bodies. Since only two individuals were present at the crime scene, police believe that Gigi's 19-year-old boyfriend may have shot her and then taken his own life.
Gigi's case is not an isolated incident since many women are involved in abusive relationships and domestic violence which frequently makes headlines. The Women and Men Progressive Movement Foundation (WMP) monitored and collected data on domestic violence cases from 11 electronic newspapers in 2021.
