| Education | Singapore Management University |
Genie Yamaguchi is a 30-year-old Singaporean influencer with approximately 14,800 followers on Instagram (as of 2025). Her social media profile describes her as a gamer who also operates a preserved-flower business and a beauty aesthetics clinic.[1] Her Instagram account has been deactivated since the incident.
Background
Genie attended CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School, a well-known all-girls primary and secondary school.[1] She graduated with a degree from Singapore Management University (SMU) in 2020.[2]
Professional and employment history
According to her public profiles, Genie Yamaguchi began her professional career as an Account Manager in 2021, subsequently held the position of Head of Marketing at two separate companies (circa 2019), and was the co-founder of an aesthetics clinic. She also founded a floral company. As of 2025, she serves as the Marketing Head at a dental clinic in Orchard Road, Singapore.[1][2]
Shoplifting at Don Don Donki
On 26 August 2025, Genie Yamaguchi pleaded guilty in court to shoplifting 27 items, mainly makeup, skincare, and food items, from the Don Don Donki supermarket at the Orchard Central outlet.[3]
The theft occurred in the early hours of 25 August 2024, between approximately 2:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., when Yamaguchi and a friend—named Lee Suet Keay (Cheryl)—placed the items in a shopping cart and left without paying.[3][4]
CCTV footage recorded the incident; a staff member recognized the duo later and alerted the manager, who then reported the incident to the police.[3][4]
Details of stolen items and restitution
The total value of the stolen items was S$628.90. Among them were:
- A Sanrio tote bag (Cinnamoroll design) valued at S$67.90[3]
- A Colorrose blush (Queen’s Cameo Blush 02 Elegant Moon) at S$30.90[3]
- Two Melano CC Vitamin C serums at S$25 each[3]
- Food snacks and other beauty items
Only nine of the stolen items were returned upon arrest; Yamaguchi compensated Don Don Donki for the remaining items later.[3][4]
Legal proceedings and charges
At the time of the court proceedings, Yamaguchi had no prior criminal record.[3] The prosecution requested an assessment of her suitability for a Day Reporting Order (DRO)—a community-based sentence involving regular reporting for counselling, monitoring, and rehabilitation.[3][4]
On the 23 of September 2025, Yamaguchi was sentenced for shoplifting for $600 worth of items from the Don Don Donki store at Orchard Central. As part of her sentence, she was issued a three-month Day Reporting Order (DRO). Additionally, she was ordered to wear an electronic tag and observe a nightly curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. This curfew mandates that she remain indoors during these hours.[5]
Co-accused and additional charges
Yamaguchi’s friend, Lee Suet Keay (aged 29), faces additional charges beyond the Don Don Donki incident:
- Allegedly stole a pair of Crocs slippers (≈ S$90.97) from Watsons at Suntec City (23 August 2024)[3]
- Allegedly stole a Starbucks tumbler (≈ S$44.90) from Jurong Point (27 August 2024)[3]
- Allegedly stole goods valued at over S$3,296.50 from Mustafa Centre (28 April 2025)[3]
Her case was scheduled to be heard on 1 September 2025.[3]
