Chipchan

"Chip-chan" is a Korean woman of indeterminate age who claims to have been implanted with a mind-control weapon and also alleges that she is being held hostage by a corrupt police officer, known as "P". Using various sites, she has been live-streaming her apartment on a daily basis for more than a decade.

Chip-chan was first discovered in a 4chan webcam thread in 2008. In these threads, users explore various opensource webcams and post interesting finds. Chip-Chan was discovered sleeping in an unusual position and was initially thought to be dead, which sparked attention on the site. It soon became clear that she was sleeping, though for abnormally long periods of time, at unusual times of day. She sleeps in extremely uncomfortable positions, sitting in a chair or lying on the floor. An anonymous user eventually found her WordPress blog, in turn leading to dozens of other blogs, in which she claimed to have been implanted with a mind control weapon "at a cartilage bone 3cm off the anklebone." She also believes to have a chip implanted under her left eyebrow. There are webcams set up throughout her apartment which she is aware of, likely set up by herself. All her rooms are filled with signs written in Korean. The streams are accompanied by an audio-clip where she in her own voice informs the viewer about "P", the mind control weapon and her situation. She spends her time surfing the web and sleeping (often for 12+ hours at a time). She appears rather unkempt, in poor health and extremely lethargic. She has outbreaks of skin rashes and wounds of unknown cause which she upload pictures and videos of. She has been living this way since at least 1996. She claims that she cannot leave the apartment due to the chip, which has the ability to make her fall unconscious at will of the operator. However she is known to leave her apartment at times, and has changed residence several times. She does not try to contact the police, for fear that the corrupt police officer "P" will find out. She has expressed that she needs viewers to help her deal with "P", by spreading the word and contacting a man named Park Sang-Man, her former landlord, among other things. She is known to have responded to viewers via mail and comments on her blogs, but not in the chat of her streams.

Several theories about Chip-Chan has evolved over the years, ideas ranging between the whole thing being an art project, to her being ill, to her own story being true. People have tried to interact with her in several ways, contacting local police and even visiting her in her home
