Shocking True Crime: 'Detectives' Talk' Season 2 Revisits Disturbing Case of Teacher's Gaslighting Murder
The E Channel web variety show 'Detectives' Talk Season 2' (Hyungsuda2) has once again left viewers stunned with its latest episode, which delved into a chilling true crime case.
The 11th episode, released on the 3rd, was a special titled 'Death Row Talk,' focusing on the murder case of Joo Young-hyung, for whom the death penalty was carried out.
This notorious case, which shook South Korea in the 1980s, involved a kidnapping and murder where the perpetrator manipulated his own student into participating in the heinous crime, a detail that was re-examined in the episode.
The victim, Lee Yoon-sang, was a model student who disappeared after being sent on an errand just outside his home. His family soon received a ransom demand of 40 million won.
After an intensive investigation, the culprit was revealed to be Joo Young-hyung, a middle school physical education teacher, a revelation that left the show's cast in disbelief.
Lawyer Jung Jae-min expressed his outrage, stating, 'He seems like the most demonic criminal I've ever seen.' Profiler Kwon Il-yong analyzed the case as a 'typical psychopath's crime.' Jeon Hyo-seong teared up, lamenting, 'How could he do such a thing to his student? It's too cruel.'
What particularly shocked viewers was Joo Young-hyung's brazen attitude; he continued to attend school and even gave media interviews while the investigation was ongoing, deceiving those around him.
The broadcast vividly recreated the horrific true story and the intense investigation process, eliciting strong reactions from viewers such as, 'The immersion was top-notch,' and 'It was even more chilling because it's a real case.'
'Detectives' Talk Season 2' is released every Friday at 7 PM on YouTube.
Korean netizens expressed shock and disgust, commenting, 'It's even more horrifying because it's a true story,' 'Joo Young-hyung, I can't believe he was human,' and 'Using a student for such a cruel act is unforgivable.'
