Body of glamorous South Korean influencer BJ Ahyeong, 33, is found dumped in a pit weeks after she quit her social media career – as Chinese couple are charged with murder and torture

A glamorous South Korean influencer has been found dead and dumped in a pit in Cambodia weeks after she quit her social media career. 

The body of BJ Ahyeong – a K-pop DJ with 500,000 followers – was discovered covered in bruises and wrapped in a red rug in a ditch in the country’s Kandal province on June 6. Police say her neck appears to have been broken.

Cambodian police have since arrested and charged a Chinese couple with ‘murder accompanied by torture’ after the 33-year-old was last seen alive at the medical clinic they run. 

Lai Wenshao, 30, and his girlfriend Cai Huijuan, 39, testified to police that they abandoned the woman’s body after she had seizures and died while receiving treatment at their clinic on June 4, reports said. They face life imprisonment if convicted of the charge.

BJ Ahyeong was an influencer for AfreecaTV, a South Korean video-streaming service, with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram.
