"Burying 7 Young Younger Siblings in Secret": A Murderer's Letter Arrives at 'Tails of Tales'... Shedding Light on the Brutal History of 'Yeonghwasuk and Jaesaengwon'

SBS's 'Tails of Tales' will shed light on the atrocities of 'Yeonghwasuk and Jaesaengwon', where unprecedented human rights abuses took place even before the 'Brothers Home' incident, beginning with a letter sent from prison.

Airing at 10:20 PM on Thursday, October 22, the 'Murderer's Letter - Yeonghwasuk Jaesaengwon' episode of 'Tails of Tales' will openly reveal the shocking truth of a forced detention facility contained in a letter from an inmate who has been incarcerated for 36 years.

In the letter sent to the production team of 'Tails of Tales', the informant revealed himself as a murderer and confessed that he was sent to the vagrant protection facility 'Yeonghwasuk and Jaesaengwon' during his childhood and raised as a member of a criminal organization within it. In particular, he confessed 50 years later to horrific atrocities, stating, "To survive, I did whatever the older boys told me to do. I had to secretly bury 7 young younger siblings who died from harsh treatment on the back mountain, and secretly bury 11 sisters, brothers, and uncles in the reed field."

Yeonghwasuk and Jaesaengwon, which signed a vagrant detention consignment contract with the city of Busan and stood at the forefront of the "social purification movement," was actually a site of human rights violations where innocent children and citizens were kidnapped, confined, and subjected to routine violence. The production team of 'Tails of Tales' directly tracked down the sender of the letter and pursued the confession in the letter and the truth of the facility through a 10-minute prison visit.

Meanwhile, marking the 30th anniversary of SBS Power FM, flagship DJs and actors Joo Hyun-young and Bong Tae-gyu, along with rapper DINDIN, will appear as storytellers' friends on this broadcast.

Joo Hyun-young, stepping up as Jang Hyun-sung's storyteller friend, could not hide her utter astonishment while reading the informant's letter, while DINDIN, appearing as Jang Sung-gyu's friend, expressed unsparing anger, saying, "This is a matter so severe that you cannot even hold them accountable enough." Bong Tae-gyu, a father of two and appearing as Jang Doyoun's friend, also struggled to contain his sorrow over the violent treatment the children suffered.

The hidden brutal history of 'Yeonghwasuk and Jaesaengwon', which began with a murderer's letter, will be revealed today, October 22, at 10:20 PM on 'Tails of Tales'.
