Shocking Brutal Murder in the Heart of Gangnam: The Fugitive Who Has Evaded Capture for 18 Years [Subtitled News]

[Cheon Hyeon-gil / Former Lead Investigator: (Hwang Ju-yeon told an acquaintance) "I don't understand how criminals get caught. I am confident I won't be caught by the police."]
June 17, 2008.
A brutal murder took place in the middle of the Seoul Gangnam Express Bus Terminal.
The suspect is Hwang Ju-yeon, a murderer on the "Most Wanted" list who has been on the run for 18 years.
In 2008, Hwang used his own daughter to lure his ex-wife, Sun-young, and then stabbed her dozens of times with a weapon in a public place, killing her.
A man who was with Sun-young at the scene was also seriously injured but survived.
[Park Sung-woo (pseudonym) / Victim: The doctor said the first stab wound to my chest missed my heart by only 3mm. My lungs were completely pierced. And my lower abdomen—my large and small intestines were completely shredded.]
Evidence of a premeditated crime was found in the truck Hwang drove on the day of the incident.
[Cheon Hyeon-gil / Former Lead Investigator: He arrived in this truck, and when we opened the cover, we found a wardrobe, burlap sacks, and more...]
Immediately after the crime, Hwang avoided using mobile phones and credit cards entirely, evading police pursuit by using public phones and public transportation to create a complex trail.
During the investigation, it was confirmed that Hwang had used a false name at a PC cafe in Bangbae-dong to access a farm machinery trading website.
Police and television producers distributed wanted posters to labor agencies and taxi companies nationwide and received tips based on age-progression images, but Hwang's whereabouts remain unknown.
This case is rooted in a complex family history involving domestic violence, morbid jealousy, divorce, and attempts at reconciliation.
While advanced technologies such as facial recognition have been introduced recently, experts point out that there are limitations in solving long-term cold cases due to personal information protection issues and a lack of data.
The family of the victim, Sun-young, who was unjustly killed, desperately hopes for Hwang Ju-yeon's arrest.
