An unidentified woman was found dead at a motel in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, after drinking soju for 10 straight days with a male acquaintance, according to Jeongseon Police Station on Thursday.

The two reportedly met at an alcohol treatment center and left for the city on Mar. 19 with one agenda: “Drink until death.”

When the man, 44, told his mother the woman might be dead, the mother called the police.

Police found 60 empty soju bottles at the scene.

The body was sent to the National Forensic Services for autopsy.
