[Actual 119 Emergency Call (June 20, 2026): What do I do? I think she's dead. Please live, please live. What do I do? Pull yourself together.]
The true nature of a man who beat his cohabitating girlfriend more than 500 times and caused her death has been revealed, causing shock.
In June, a report came in that a woman in her 20s had lost consciousness at a semi-basement home in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
Paramedics and police rushed to the scene, but the woman was already in cardiac arrest. The man who made the report confessed to the crime himself, stating that he had beaten his girlfriend and showing the weapon he used.
[Police: What? You hit her with a hammer? Where was this from? What kind of hammer is this?]
[Perpetrator: It was over there, something we had. I hit her countless times here with the handle, and also hit her with my legs and fists.]
An autopsy revealed that 21 of the woman's ribs were fractured and her major organs had ruptured. A home camera installed inside the house captured the shocking scenes of the victim being assaulted for over three hours.
[(I'm sorry) Lie down. (I'm sorry) Lie down. Do you want your hands broken? Lie down. (Ah, I'm sorry)]
The man subjected her to indiscriminate assaults even for absurd reasons, such as failing to fold up a sunshade.
[You didn't fold this all the way up? (I was trying to fold it) You didn't fold it all the way up? (Ah...) You didn't fold it all the way up? (I'm sorry) You didn't fold it all the way up? I told you not to put on a show, and you're doing it again? You son of a bitch! Putting on a show again?]
While admitting to the assault, the perpetrator claimed he had no intent to kill and that he committed the act impulsively out of frustration over the victim's lies. However, an expert who reviewed the footage analyzed that "he assaulted the other person with chilling calmness without much emotional agitation," suggesting that he had been gaslighting the victim for a long period.
[What are you going to do? Are you going to fix your lies or not? That's the only thing I'm curious about. Will you fix your lies or not? Not 'I will fix it,' but can you fix it or not? Tell me that. If you can't, you just die. If you can't fix it, stay like that. I'm coming back out in two hours. No, just stay like that until you die. (Please give me a chance, I'm sorry)]
While analyzing the perpetrator's mobile phone, the production team of SBS's "Unanswered Questions" found that the word "Guk-peu" appeared repeatedly. The perpetrator explained this as "a rule made to fight less with his girlfriend."
However, these communication guidelines contained phrases that were difficult to view as rules for conflict resolution, revealing that the perpetrator had exerted psychological pressure by controlling the victim's actions and words.
[Bow down. If you can't bow down, I will kill you. I will beat you until you really die. If you want to die, die while bowing down. I'll kill you, lie down. It's the last time. You're going to die now.]
[Professor Choi Lee-moon / Department of Police Science, National Police University: In reality, he often feels deeply unrespected or experiences failure every time he does something. Despite that, he likely wants to feel like an extraordinary person by implementing control over at least this woman.]
The perpetrator is currently in custody, having reportedly written multiple letters of reflection and appealing to the court for leniency by citing reasons such as childhood domestic violence trauma.
Netizens who came across the case reacted with anger, leaving comments such as "Disclose his identity immediately and sentence him to death" and "This is the most shocking case I have ever seen."
