He Spin Kicked A Woman Nearly Killing Her - All Because She Gave Him A “Dirty Look” 

UPDATE ON THIS CASE: The victim requested that DNA testing be REDONE on her pants instead of underwear and it matched! He will now be in jail for 20 years instead of just 7 !!! (The court tried for 35 and got 20)

Misogyny. That's why he did it, he expected her to smile and kiss the ground he walks on and of course she chose wrong by minding her own business.

Being a women is so scary. I was followed by a man for like a good 30-40 minutes and when I asked an older man with his wife for help he said “Just tell him to stop.” I was taken aback. Thankfully his wife was kind enough to tell me to stay with them until the police arrived.

I can understand keeping the criminal's name out of the media because innocent until proven guilty, but once found guilty, the name should be released.

In Seoul South Korea 18 years ago I was walking home from the subway station when an American man caught up to me and started walking at pace with me. He said...don’t look back but there is a man (Korean) following you. I think you should join me for a coffee at the next place and once he is gone then you can safely go to your home...I will never forget his act of protecting me and for the fact of his situational awareness which most likely saved my life.

“Without the victim’s testimony” Welp, there you have it guys! Murderers can’t be convicted because the victim can’t be there to testify. RELEASE THE MURDERS ON TO THE MASSES

You know it's not really an "I couldn't tell you" case when the motive is obviously sexual assault and misogyny. Also, it's obvious what happened in the 7 minutes, he attacked her and knocked her out so that he could easily SA her without her fighting back. She was just a convenient vulnerable target. He was obviously playing out a fantasy.

This literally happened to me in Seoul getting off the subway, I felt him from going up the stairs from the station. When I realized I was getting closer to my friend’s place. I turned into a shop and called my friend’s husband to meet me (she was at work and I went out for the day to sightsee until she was off work). The guy stayed out there as I waited and I only turn to look at him when my friend’s spouse met me, that’s when I met his eyes and he stood there for a while before turning away. He looked confused and surprised at the same time. After, I told my friend about it and they said they won’t say it’s common, but it happened enough to not be shocked. It was the weirdest experience, especially since I am a dark skin black American woman. Im kind of invisible during the day in Korea, definitely never thought to get that type of attention in Korea. I’m glad my spidey senses were still on alert then to notice and my friend’s husband was home playing LOL

Classic cases of "men are afraid women will damage their ego, women are afraid men will kill them."

Attempted murder should have the same sentencing as murder. Ok, they didn't die, but you still had the intention of killing them! This should count too

Look, this is not a Korean issue, this is a worldly issue. Point blank period. An African American woman in America was recently attacked for turning down a man's advances. I heard one woman commented and said she just goes ahead and gives the guy her number so she won't be attacked. But why should I have to give a man my number if I don't want to?

when she said “zipping up his pants” i literally gasped.

The way he used the “I’m drunk excuse” is so ridiculous because he literally did a perfectly coordinated spinkink that knocked her unconscious, yet somehow he “didn’t know what he was doing”? It’s obvious he knew exactly what he did and felt no remorse. He even bragged about it to his friends. Horrible. *edited to fix a small typo

South korea seems like a country that has more sympathy for the culprit rather than the victim. I hope someone does justice with him behind the bars 💀

If the victim doesn't get privacy neither should the perp.

If a man feels the need to tell me that its "not all men" I immediately consider him one of the men i need to avoid. If you're that offended over it then it's because you see something in it that matches to your own thoughts and behaviors.

He seemed to walk very well for someone that claimed to be so drunk.

There is no such thing as "random" "inexplicable " crime. There is a reason. Its hate crimes against women. Its femicide. "This incident is being regarded not as a specific episode of a mentally disturbed man attacking a specific woman, but as a symbolic example of what happens in a misogynistic society."- Lee Na-young, professor of sociology at Chung-Ang University. (about the Gangnam/sashimi murder)

As a man, I don't see how any decent man could see this as women vs. men cases Honestly, these (and so many of the cases covered by this channel) are very clearly men vs. women cases. So many of these would never had happened if the victims were not women and it's absolutely infuriating to see how little women are regarded around the world (including where I live). The amount of victim blaming, direct targeting, and the lack of support from authorities and the so-called justice system are nauseating. I don't know how to help. I wish I did. But it's difficult to know what to do when your very presence could be enough to trigger someone who has been a victim of a man. I feel tremendously for the suffering women have to endure. At best, I can empathize but (even as a man who has been the victim of SA) my own position of privilege is such that I can never truly understand the atmosphere of fear that women have to live in.

My mom was a paranoid schizophrenic. She was the most kind and unjudgmental person you’d ever meet. We lost her to cancer in 2017. I miss her so much.

it’s exhausting being a woman, i’m just shocked that this is still happening in 2023

My friend was killed in 2015 at 22 y/o by her husband because she "Was caught getting out of the house when he was out partying". Stabbed over a dozen times (she was approximately 100 pounds). He got 9 years because "He showed remorse"...got out on weekends after 3 years, got out on probation after 6 years - attempted on doing the same with his new girlfriend. A guy (only a few weeks ago) live streamed the murder of his wife because she dared applying for a restraining order because of "a few slaps". Her last words before she got shot in the head on camera were "I was scared of you". Only a few days ago a woman got bitten on her face by her ex husband in broad daylight. While a stranger defended her, the ex said "That's my woman. I can do as I please". I myself woke up one too many times in the middle of the night with my pants suddenly down or fingers in where they do not belong while I was sleeping and unable to consent. His excuse "It has been days - I couldn't help it". Not all men...but oh boy - there are enough of them. And the damage the wrong ones do, the right ones spend a life time and then some, to put together...if we even live to tell the tale.

As a foreign woman who has lived in Korea for the past decade, I am without words. I just finished watching your episodes about the airforce case, two sisters case, and now this case, and I've always considered South Korea to be an extremely safe place in terms of violent crime, but you've kind of opened my eyes to the fact that this country isn't necessarily safer for women - it is likely just full of silent victims who don't report their assaults due to Korea being ruled by authority figures who not only laugh in the face of sexual assault victims, but who literally see it as an inconvenience to them. In all three of these cases you discussed, the CORE issue is not actually the perpetrators - it is the AUTHORITY that protects the perpetrators. I can guarantee you that the amount of sexual assault occurring in Korea would plummet if hypothetical perpetrators had any reason to believe that their crimes will be taken seriously by the powers that be. Every time a case like this happens, every time the news reveals a rapist getting slapped on the wrist, a slew of new perpetrators will be emboldened. Shame on the police. Shame on the military. Shame on the entertainment industry. Shame on the executive branch. Shame on any office of authority who gives paychecks and power to men who see women as objects who dare not inconvenience a man. Shame on any person in a position of power who BLATANTLY denies or minimizes clear evidence of a horrific crime. I love living here but my heart is truly breaking for the countless women (and men) who have buried their trauma inside because the alternative is having society mock them and torment them until the point of suicide while the authority figures let them off because an "important" man's reputation needs to have priority over a victim's dignity. I love Korea with all of my heart. I am married to a Korean man and he is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. This country can do better for its people. This country needs to do better.

The fact that people with "alcohol intoxication" are given less sentence and people with medical condition are sentenced to longer jail time. The alcohol intoxication clause is just unbelievable. I hope that changes

Thank you for bringing attention to hate crimes against women

Digusting...a man faces charges for attempting to PROTECT the public from a monster smh

There was a case I heard about where a guy stalked a 14 or15 year old girl completely without her knowledge and then shot her 14 times. Her friend with her was also shot but survived. She never knew him but he said she looked at him one time a year ago and he just started stalking her. So tragic. Her family can't make sense of it either. He did not have a mental illness but he did say she had such incredible eyes that she should not be on earth but with the angels. He was 20 yrs old. .

that boyfriend waiting for 30 minutes only to find his girlfriend basically stabbed to death... the guilt he must have felt. the hundreds of times he must have thought to himself "if only I had checked on her sooner". some men don't really understand how scary it can be to be a woman. you literally may have just gone away for a few minutes to pee and end up finding yourself a victim of a horrible crime. we're not even safe in our own homes...

Given how quick men are to condemn women who say "yes" to men's advances, you'd think they'd stop killing us when we say "no."

This is ACTUALLY a gender-based crime. * - This is a woman not wanting to smile 24/7, and a man getting mad becos of itー to the point of almost killing the woman. - This is rape.

This story really angers me. I've been followed before and its one of the scariest feelings in the world. The entitlement that this person feels in order to do this to someone is on another level. Ladies if you feel like your being follow do not continue to head home. Get to the nearest public area and ask for help. Even if your unsure it's better to report it in case that person trys to do it again.

As another Korean, I give the utmost sympathy and respect to the victim that chose to exit recently under tremendous pain and trauma caused by this horrendous event. She fought hard to serve justice to this piece of shit until the very last moment, when she broke down completely with helplessness she felt how the justice system only cared about protecting this fucker. RIP, my prayer goes to you.

To be a woman anywhere on this planet is exhausting..WE ARE TIRED OF EVERYTHING

As a SA survivor I just burst into tears listening to the introduction and the talk about the 7 unaccounted minutes. So much cruelty, so much violence, so much evil was done. I've experienced this type of violence first hand and my heart just ACHES for this victim. We can't even walk home without fear of someone committing potential violence against us. Edit- I just want to say thank you to those who commented their empathy, sympathy and absolutely kind words. I've been going to therapy the last 3 years for my SA and I've worked through a lot of things and am in a considerably more healthy and happy place.

I love how passionate and outspoken Stephanie gets when it comes to women’s rights and just overall fights that women can live a normal life not constantly being in fear of what could happen to them!!! Thank you for voicing your opinions loud and proud to your huge following online!! We love you 🤍

It's 2024 and the discussion of "would you rather be stuck in a forest with a man or a bear?" became viral. This story adds to the point of choosing bear. People would rather die than have the physical, emotional, and mental trauma of being SA'd. It's exhausting to be a woman and life's more terrifying for victims.

No rape kit? Not even a couple of swabs? 😡 This case is infuriating!

This one example of why we say being a woman is hard. If we are friendly, it means we are asking for it, but if we refuse we offend men 🤷🏻‍♀️ we can’t never win 😔

My heart breaks for this woman

And ppl wonder why women go to the bathroom together....

It makes me sad that you have to make sure men's feelings aren't hurt by pointing out a few examples of what regularly happens to women. We, as a society, worry more about men's comfort than women's safety.

girl, if you're with someone that defends this kind of BS or has the "but what she did to deserve tho" mentality... RUN

Regardless if he was drunk or not he completely changed the direction of this poor girls life. She will never live a normal life again and she may never live the life she wouldve wanted for herself. And he doesnt want to take responsibility after lying about being drunk. Insane

I’m positive Korean system and USA system are both in on it 🤷🏾‍♂️ just dang horrible no where is safe with these horrible judicial systems 🤦🏾‍♂️😭😭

As a woman you can smile, not smile, not even look at someone and still be seen by these gross men as "stuck up'. I remember just minding my own business at 711 and this random man just told me to stop mugging anf smile and mind you he didn't say it in a nice tone he practically yelled at me. Just because I walked by and didn't smile. Wasn't in a bad mood at all.

The first case: did the man live in the same apartment building as the victim? If not, I don't understand how you can argue that this wasn't a premeditated crime, when he knew the exact location of the blind spot with no CCTV cameras.

Love how you tell your stories. You tell them with so much love n compassion 😢❤

I love the way she narrates these cases! She leaves my mind open to take in every single word! I'm usually right on the edge of my seat waiting for more.....😅😮😊

So... They found her completely disheveled with her underwear half on and she was bleeding from her rectum for a month, but she seemed totally fine and walked normally throughout ALL the CCTV footage PLUS the doctors couldn't get good DNA samples because they were trying to save her life. So like... Do they (the court/judges) think she somehow unzipped her own pants and took a single leg out of her panties just to put her pants back on before or after she was assaulted? Like... If she was fighting for her life, at what point do they think she had the time to put her clothes back on like that??? Idk. I get that some of it is "circumstantial evidence" but look at the portfolio of concrete evidence around all the other things. Like, I'm not a zoologist but if an animal quacks, can fly, can swim, lays eggs, has a bill for a mouth, has short legs, orange webbed feet and waddles, I'm PRETTY inclined to assume the animal is a fucking duck. As humans, we're intelligent enough to deduce what happened without having to always SEE the crime happen. I cannot believe people want to "debate" about what happened because there's no video evidence. How disgusting.

I don't believe for 1 second that the first guy was drunk. He knew what he was doing, he planned it. He sat on that street waiting for someone to harm, very likely he chose the first one that looked at him but didn't care to keep looking. Imagine being so stuck on yourself that you attack an innocent woman because she doesn't look at you like you're special. She became his target simply because she was tired and just wanted to get home. She deserves so much better and this judge needs to reevaluate how they are treating victims verses perpetrators. Getting molested or raped is very traumatic it never goes away no matter how long ago it was or happened.

You are amazing and speak straight from the heart. I am in awe of the stories that you share from other countries that we are not aware of. Keep up the good work.

A case like this happened in Brazil (?) too. A guy followed this woman until the apartment hall and waited for her to call the elevator and then punched her head from the back. She falls unconscious on the floor and he takes...her phone. She had cranial traumatisms and was in bad shape because she hit the concrete floor with her head.

It's probably a blessing she can't remember the attack, but the doctors who checked her and treated her in the hospital can tell exactly what he did to this poor woman with simple a rape kit.

I literally can't, he had the audacity to say that he was too drunk to commit a crime? My blood is boiling right now, I'm sick and tired of these monsters.

I just want to comment on your point that the schizophrenia person's delusions stem from some sort of reality or "that they don't come out of thin air". My Dad was diagnosed schizophrenia in the 90's. Some of his delusional thoughts were normal fears, but on steroids. Then there were delusional thoughts that had no reality. My Dad would not eat any food in the town where my parents lived in because he believed they were poisoning him. At one point he thought my Mom was poisoning him. I do appreciate your compassion in the beginning when you were talking about his diagnosis. Taking care of someone diagnosed schizophrenia, and loving them is the hardest thing our family ever went through. Thank you for all the research and compassion you put into all your videos.

Wait so if you don’t smile at someone there’s a chance you might get hurt but when you do smiles there’s ALSO a chance you could get hurt? I’ve heard many cases where sometimes the victim would smile at someone and they would get kidnapped or hurt. This world is so missed up☹️

That youtuber is a brave man. I’m so sad he’s being charged for protecting people.

"women do not exist for men and men wouldnt exist without women" a beautiful quote that really sums it up nicely

Being drunk while committing crime, makes you get lesser sentences is wierd. In my country being under the influence of a alcohol or drugs makes you get harsher sentences.

Now people understand why in this country women want to be single.

Here at my country we just had a case last month about a girl that went partying with some friends and drank too much. A "friend" of hers called her an uber and let her brother know she was going home, but the brother didnt see the message because he fell asleep. The girl passed out in the car and after they arrived, the driver tried to get her inside but wasnt able to, so he left her sitting against something at the sidewalk. The girl didnt last 6 minutes passed out at the street, some guy immediately grabbed her and brought her to an abandoned field, and raped her. When Steph said about the drinking culture at South Korea, but then complemented saying typically women dont pass out from drinking at the streets, all I could think about was that the victim of that case wasnt even able to be left alone for 10 whole minutes, the moment someone laid eyes on her, all they could think about was abusing her.

Reminds me of this recent story in Germany were a American male threw a American women off a 150+ foot bridge because she didn’t want to sleep with him….these crimes against innocent women make me scared to leave my house

The person with schizophrenia can’t be grouped in with others imo, bc it has been shown that different type of schizophrenia has different types of symptoms and some of them aren’t hallucinations, but extremely distorted and paranoid thinking. To him it could actually be very real that female species are out to get him. So I really think this kinda shows how much people also don’t understand mental illness.

A 30 year old 6'3 man attacked me since july 18th but finally he attacked me because of my eyes he said i looked at him i told him i was blinded at 17 he attacked me with trash cans . Im 5' 60 year old woman . Im reborn and tollally christian i give my ladt dollar to anyone

I just wanna know how hateful do you have to be to spin kick someone in the head like??

It's so scary how men can become so conditioned to believe woman are not human to them and to act so evil against them. Society needs to change and it feels so helpless everytime these crimes happen.

The folly boat tribute made me tear up so much. Yes, please give updates. Thanks Stephanie!

Keep doing what you're doing, you have a good voice for story telling and a lot of good information. Cheers

1:16:42 I love the last quote: "Women do not exist for men and men would not exist without women. So let's just all be nicer to one another." AMEN.

i’ve heard of this case and i am of the firm belief he assaulted her after he dragged her off camera and sodomized her. this poor woman, he was following her and targeted her because she was alone and most likely drunk after a long night out. i disagree with the laws that protect drunk individuals who commit crimes and lighten their sentences. a person makes the choice to drink, they should be held accountable for any acts they commit after that. for example, assault or drunk driving.

The entire part about collecting dna evidence was infuriating. The levels of incompetence. Are these cops even capable of wiping their own asses?

i love how you talk so carful and loving about this poor woman

A man assaulting people starting before he even reached adulthood, and this is considered an inexplicable crime no one saw coming?... He had learned over the years, over and over, how little consequences he gets for his violent actions. This isn't inexplicable, this is what we ask for with lenient laws for violent offences, this is what we get when we have lenient and zero laws against pimps and punters.

The disgust you can hear in Mr. MangoButt's voice is such a huge comfort to me with cases like this. I was SA'd by my ex-fiance, so listening to these types of cases is always hard. But his disembodied voice randomly cutting in with an enraged "are you *kidding* me?!" is oddly soothing.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication 🙃

SO MUCH RESPECT & LOVE ALWAYS! SO MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP IN ADVOCASY AS WELL!!! BLESSINGS!

Sounds like the Korean justice system is deeply flawed. Thanks for sharing and let us know.

I’m so sick to my stomach… why is being a woman so depressing…?

What a privilege to say that this case dont have to do nothing with the differences of women and men in society. I love Stephanie but sometimes is hard to pass her soft views to something so obvious.

Hope you will be safe too. Don't know the world anymore. Thanks for keeping these stories alive!

That is absurd that you get punished for revealing a perpetrator’s identity. Unreal.

Hi Stephanie. Please read this. I'm from a small town in South Africa. A few years ago my cousin Percy was dating a girl who was cheating on him with a police officer. One day, Percy found out about the cheating. He ended things with the girl. The same day, he went fishing with his friends when the cop stopped him and put him into the police van. The cop and his friends beat my cousin to the point of Him almost dying before throwing him in a jail cell. There was another guy in the jail cell that tried to help him. Percys mother tried to see him in jail and they didn't allow her to. The guy in the jail cell sent a message to percys mother that he needed to talk to her and that he has something he needs to tell her about Percy urgently. A few hours later, my cousin was found hanging in the cell. The cops told my aunty that he committed suicide but both his legs and arms were broken. How could he have tied the rope? The entire thing was a cover up. Both the guy in the cell and the cop disappeared and his death was ruled as a suicide. My aunt tried to get a lawyer to fight the case but they didn't have enough money to proceed. We know he was murdered and that's what the guy in the cell wanted to tell my aunt. But the cop got to him before he could say anything. That guy is missing till today. Even his family hasnt heard from him. Please could you cover this case Steph? I want people to know about my cousin. Thank you so much. 😢❤

Reminds me of certain cases in America too. And everywhere. Everywhere. Every. Where.

North Korea: 15years jail for taking down a painting SOUTH KOREA: 12years for kicking someone in the head(6 times) and SA

My question is: how high on the psychopathy scale would the judge score? This is outrageous. What kind of a system defends perpetrators and not victims? Insane.

Stephanie’s storytelling is beyond this world!

I remember listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, and he was talking about how some medical literature says schizophrenic people genetically have a stinky smell that makes people respond to them weird their whole lives. I have no idea if that's true, and I haven't noticed it with the psychotic people I've been around. But imagine being schizophrenic and listening to that podcast episode. "Hey paranoid guy, have you noticed all the people look at you funny? They can smell the crazy on you. Hey, paranoid guy..." Like, imagine being paranoid and then hearing that. Wouldn't that make you more paranoid?

I had been in Korea for less than 2 months when a man began stalking me. He was a client at the language school I worked at and the manager GAVE HIM MY PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER (???) and the first time he figured out what building I lived in he called all the units trying to figure out which one I lived in. My male coworker also lived in the building, was called, and then quite literally walked me door to door every time I left my apartment after that for another two months. I changed jobs and moved cities and he even helped me move to make sure nobody was watching where I ended up. He saw how bad things could go and stepped in and I can never thank my dear friend enough for it. I was really young (21) and he was not going to let anything happen to me.

It seems pretty clear to me that he followed her with the intent of raping her. So he attacked her, left her unconscious, and raped her during those 7 minutes away from the cameras. Maybe that’s not common in Korea, but here in Brazil it happens all the time! 😢

"I want to be alive at the end of my work day" "Im alive because i didnt use the bathroom that day" "Women do not exist for men and men would not exist without women" Such powerful and depressings sentences :(

If he was that drunk he could've not kicked her the way he did without falling off! So in Korea anyone can commit a heinous crime and write a letter of apology and get a lesser sentence ?? The criminals identity is protected so the general public won't be able to protect themselves from the perpetrators........ That's outrageous that a justice system allows that to happen cause shows a massive disregard for the victim

i find it so interesting how almost every "inexplicable" crime is a hate crime

I’m schizophrenic and the thought of harming someone makes me feel sick. Thank you for clearing up the misconceptions about schizophrenics (& other mental illnesses) for “being violent” & preventing the spread of stigma. :)

Thank you for bringing attention to this AND for pointing out that these aren't random crimes, they're crimes stemming from either hatred or dehumanization of women

There is no proof he was drunk. So why should he be given the benefit of that?

Hold up. Dissociative amnesia seems like an overkill explanation her not remembering anything. The whole thing started with her getting clobbered in the back of the head. She was still semi-conscious before getting kicked again before going fully out, but it's extremely normal with something like that to have no memory after the initial hit even if you're not out after the first hit... It's not a psychological phenomenon, it's just what happens when your brain gets clocked. It doesn't really matter, I'm just confused as to why anybody felt like that needed an explanation beyond the obvious.

And if I hear “what did she did to make him do that” I will scream because don’t matter he could of killed her

As a woman, bad things started before I could even remember. “Family”, “friends”.. Really there was no one to trust.

It's so sad that you should mention that pls don't fight under comments bc MEN can't take the truth of how savage they are. Ok mama's boy now you can go and cry in the corner.

I’ve been violently assaulted and had the nurses at the hospital-female nurses no doubt- dissuade me from getting a rape kit and Literally said, “you know that backlog of rape kits in this state is over 2500, right?” Misogyny is engrained in our human experience. I hope the tides turn to the higher side of humanity; not saying it’s only feminine, but one that recognizes the value in both or all experiences in this Mystery if ours; # nothing new
