The Persecution of Daniel Lee

A story appearing in July’s Stanford Magazine begins with the caption: “An Internet smear campaign nearly destroyed the South Korean star, but he fought back with the only weapon he had: the truth.” And, from there, you’re launched into one of the more flabbergasting stories you’ve read in some time. Give The Persecution of Daniel Lee a read, and you’ll see that we’re not being the least bit hyperbolic.

The internet can be a wonderful place. We all know that. But, as with any other place humans inhabit, it has a dark side, and that’s what we encounter here

    The story is unbelievable. I am like speechless reading the whole article. I listened to his music few times and liked it. It is so true that people believe what they want to believe. And the dark side of internet is just horrifying!
