'Kkokkomu' Revisits 1994 Busan Child Abduction and Murder Case: Who Is the Real Culprit Behind the Claim of Three Accomplices?

SBS's "Story of the Day Biting the Tail" (hereinafter "Kkokkomu") delves into the hidden side of a brutal kidnapping case that shocked South Korea in 1994.

The episode of "Kkokkomu" airing tonight, July 2, is titled "Four Kidnappers – Who Is Lying?" The guests joining the storytelling session are Zhang Hao of the group &TEAM, singer Soyou, and actress Park Tam-hee.

The broadcast will cover the "10-year-old girl abduction and murder case" that gripped all of Busan in fear at the time, aiming to track the harrowing truth of that day that was not fully captured in the court verdict.

The incident began in Busan in 1994. A 10-year-old girl vanished without a trace from a peaceful neighborhood, and the prime suspect identified was, shockingly, the victim's cousin, Na Kyung-ae (pseudonym). The nation was sent into a state of shock when the missing child's body was discovered inside Na's home.

Following her arrest, Na claimed during police questioning, "I didn't do this alone. There are three more accomplices," leading the case into a new phase. However, the reactions of the three friends she named were completely different. They asserted clear alibis for the day of the crime and pleaded their innocence, with one even completely denying knowing Na Kyung-ae, causing confusion in the investigation. Among the four suspects whose claims were in sharp conflict, who was the real culprit?

The anger and shock expressed by the guests listening to the story are also key points to watch. Zhang Hao of &TEAM, visiting "Kkokkomu" for the first time, expressed uncontrollable rage after learning the details of the cruel incident, saying, "She is like a devil." Singer Soyou, a returning guest, could not recover from the shock, repeatedly saying "This is insane" at the cousin's brazen claims. Actress Park Tam-hee also let out deep sighs in the face of the truth, which continued to take unexpected turns.

The tragedy brought about by the "wrong encounter" between the cousin and her friends, and the identity of the real culprit hidden within the conflicting testimonies, will be revealed on "Kkokkomu," airing tonight, July 2, at 10:20 PM.
