"The Police Committed Perjury": Uncovering the Truth Behind a 23-Year-Old Pocheon Traffic Accident on "Unanswered Questions"

SBS's "Unanswered Questions" is set to investigate the truth behind a mysterious traffic accident that occurred 23 years ago, involving reversed destinies and hidden perjury.

Airing on July 25, the upcoming episode of SBS "Unanswered Questions" is titled "Perjury vs. Perjury - Reversed Destinies and a Final Dying Wish." It will spotlight the secrets hidden behind a tragic traffic accident that took place around 3:30 PM on September 28, 2003, at a three-way intersection in Yeongbuk-myeon, Pocheon.

At the time, a car crashed into a utility pole, resulting in the driver's death the following day. Lee Su-jae, who was in the passenger seat, suffered severe injuries, including a skull fracture, and fell into a coma. After miraculously regaining consciousness four months later and barely managing to leave the hospital with permanent disabilities, Lee received the shocking notice from the police that he was the driver.

The emergency crew and traffic accident investigators dispatched to the scene at the time stated that the passenger in the front seat was a person named Choi. Based on this, the police forwarded Lee Su-jae to the prosecution as a suspect in a fatal accident, leading to a guilty verdict.

However, the 119 emergency response log clearly specified that the passenger was Lee Su-jae, and suspicious discrepancies were also found in the medical records of the two individuals, who were transported at five-minute intervals. The testimonies of eyewitnesses Jeon Young-do and Sung Gi-su, who witnessed the scene and testified that Lee was the passenger, were rejected by the court. Instead, they faced the tragic fate of being punished for perjury.

The son of the late Jeon Young-do appealed for justice, stating, "My father asked me to prove that he didn't lie. I believe the ones who truly committed perjury were the police."

Claiming they were wrongfully punished due to the perjury of the accident investigation police, three individuals have filed for a retrial using evidence they spent 23 years gathering themselves. Who was the real driver that day, and what is the truth hidden behind the wrongful dying wish? The answers will be revealed on "Unanswered Questions," airing on Saturday, July 25, at 11:10 PM.
