The episode of SBS's 'Tails of Tales' airing on the 5th is titled 'Catch the Worst Serial Rapist 'Barbari', discussing the case of Lee Jung-gu, a serial rapist responsible for victimizing 184 individuals over approximately 8 years. This episode features singer Kang Daniel, Narsha, and MeloMance's Jung Dong-hwan as listeners, delving into the story of the notorious rapist 'Barbari'.
The series of rapes committed by Barbari in the Daejeon area from 1999 spanned about 8 years, shocking South Korea with the sheer number of victims, ranging from teenagers to individuals in their 40s, totaling 184. The unimaginable scale and frequency of these crimes have left the nation in shock.
As the horrifying details of the case were revealed, Narsha expressed deep empathy for the victims, saying, "If it had happened to me, I feel like I wouldn't have been able to do anything." Jung Dong-hwan expressed his fury, stating, "We absolutely need to catch this madman."
Particularly distressing was the fact that among the victims were friends who had been coerced into becoming victims themselves, leaving them with lifelong scars and guilt. The police were unanimous in their desire to catch him, saying, "We desperately want to catch him." 'Tails of Tales' will reveal the true face of Barbari Lee Jung-gu and the story of how he was finally apprehended.
However, the true identity of Barbari was that of a seemingly ordinary father with children. His crimes, which started in Daejeon and expanded through Cheongju to the rest of the country, were so bold that Kang Daniel expressed his disgust, saying, "I feel like I'm going to throw up," and "He doesn't even seem human."
The episode will explore how the police and victims so eagerly wanted to catch Lee Jung-gu, whether he received the punishment he deserved in court, and unveil the shocking details of this beyond-belief rape case through 'Tails of Tales'.
