Inside South Korea's Most Notorious Serial Murder: Hwaseong Murders | Catching A Killer - Part 1/2 

Exactly what I was thinking!

They disregard that because of the same blood type and thr titanium in his pubic hair. Their citizen backlash them so they need a scapegoat to finally close the case.

I know right how dumb of them

Also, perhaps because he was not an immediate witness to a crime, but rather suspicious of him being the criminal, his testimony may not have been taken into consideration.

I guess, they wanted to close the case and forget about it... It is a common problem with police forces all around the world till this day.

I'm happy Mr. Yoon was compensated ₩2.5 billion KRW ($2.1 million USD) for false imprisonment. It's the least the SK government could do.

Just shows how bad they are at judging others. Im worried for this bullying accusations of idols nowadays, they are ruining everyones lives.

@@brett8460 and there goes your 20 years time.rip

@@brett8460 a measly 2million bucks isn’t enough. 😔

@@brett8460 And somehow he still lives in a small and rather rundown apartment.

he actually only being accused for the eigthd case, the others was unsolved until 2019. police said 'his' murder was a copycat..

@@kimseonhoallin921 so did they get the killer real killer

@@Michelle-hu7fk yeah...you can see in part 2

ye

Agree..

This comment is a TOPNOTCH explanation tho. I feel so bad for him :(

Well said!

Agreed. Money can't buy happiness is meant for this situation. Hope Mr.Yoon will lead a healthy life.

no money could ever compensate his reputation and the time that was stolen from him, especially in this kind of judgemental society...

Wow such a great explaination....no one should deserve that

i could not be able to be in prison for 20 years... im 17 right now and i cant even imagine living 20 full years in prison

Trueee 😭💜

Ooh dear, that's terrible.... You're right. I hope they do it. Poor them. Yoon is so, so strong to be able to withstand all that...

Memories of Murder portrays how incompetent the police was on this case. Watching the movie I used to think it was exaggerated how they acted but after hearing more about it, it all was pretty accurate

I KNOW!!!!

Right. I was wondering about it too. Even a kid would know that a man with polio can't be a good runner. It was like, it doesn't make sense.

@@stevel9627 ikr....the movie potrayed exactly how that situation was handled

Ikr!!! I can't even believe the police arrest Yoon eventho they heard from the witness that the killer was a runner 🤨 what a shame

I guess the police were pressured into finding a killer quick and needed a scapegoat

Also what I thought of... he wont be able to run that fast if he was the suspect, a fact known by the police...

There's an explanation for this but i dont remember it clearly and the resource i have of it is not in english, so.... 🙃 Let me look it up again Update: The 8th victim was found near Yoon's work (Yoon worked in a farming machine equipment workshop).The police found strand of men's pubic hair containing metal from the victim. As a sidenote, DNA test hasn't developed in South Korea back then, so the police using that evidence to carry out the investigation. Police had asked Yoon several times for his pubic hair saying that it's for the investigation. Yoon handed the police his pubic hair willingly, cause he thought it was fine, he wasn't the killer anyway. The police found out that Yoon's pubic hair shape matched of the evidence and contained metal too as he works in the workshop. This is where it went wrong. When the police captured Yoon, Yoon already said many many times that he isn't the killer. The police argued that Yoon entered the victim's house by climbing up a wall, but when they re-create the scene, Yoon can't do it as he walks with a limp that he got when he suffered from polio as a child. The police also argued that the killing was done while squating so they had asked Yoon to squat, he still can't do it cause of the limp. (some details may be incorrect or lost in my description cause english is not my first language, i only translate it from my resource, i suggest you to read further from reliable source)

Because his blood type B and has titanium in his hair sample. So thus the others, but he has no family and very poor, that's why he can be a scapegoat. And using his polio they can make Kdrama stories that he hate women due to lack of lovelife.

back then, or even maybe now.. Police in Korea are known to choose disabled people for crimes when nothing seems to add up in their cases. As Mr Yoon had polio, it was seen to them as a threat, for no reason in my opinion. Same concept as the movie Miracle In Cell No. 7

Poor thing got wrongfully convicted. That's 20 yrs of his life he'd nvr ge back. It's scary to think he could have spend his the remainder of his life behind bars if the real killer didn't confess.

He got 2.5 mil USD from the government as compensation for his time spent in jail

@@ahm--yf4046 2M is nothing, they should've given him much more than that, 20 years of life wasted is no joke

Not just the wasted days he should enjoy living with freedom but also the mental stress it gaves him and the destruction of this incident to his name and life.

no amount of compensation can give him 20 years of his life back

Yess!!!

yes I remember I watched 4 out of 7

no wonder it seemed so familiar, I've watched flower of evil.signal and tunnel

MOUSE 2021

Flower of evil? Nahhh not similar at all

Thanks for the review mate

agree. South Korea government should pay him a hefty amount of money.

The Korean government paid him quite a lot of compensation. Of course, that is not enough compensation.

@@user-uw7ly5hr8j That's good to know. But, why's he still live in his small unkempt house if he has the money from SK government?

@@0111mango i heard houses are really expensive in SK even many celebrities live in small apartments. Or maybe he's not one who lives in extravagance

@@rowzeeistyra that's possible but does anyone really want to live in a house like that.. that's just me

Its totally the failure of the police at that time. Like seriously, they just need a cover up.. Exactly like in movie called as Miracle in cell number 7

flower of evil and partners for justice S2

MOUSE current korean drama also about the psychopath

Memorist.

I think come and hug me was also a bit similar

Life on Mars!

Honestly 🙄 I feel like they just wanted to arrest anyone to close the case fast

I think that it's because DNA testing was not available in Korea until 1991. So before then they could only test to see whether the blood types matched (if I'm not mistaken).

Not available? It was such a serious case ..for that they sentenced an innocent for 20years..I can't believe it , dna fingerprinting technology was available in the world no? So couldn't they have send samples to test whether it's a match or not or could have introduced the technology itself for the first time?..Idk get it .,it was like they were just trying to close the case by any means.

Yes he got compensation from the gov about $1.6 Million ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tttUSD3xArw.html

@@____onebae I don't think that money can bring back his wife, children etc etc if he was married. Or his family might die from depression or anxiety etc etc. I mean how can u cannot identify a blood group? It's so funny to hear that from forensic team of Korea. Just redicolous OMG imagine that😔 if that happen to me. I swear m gonna sue the whole police department of Korea.

@@vikahoachumi9421 honestly

Most democratic have such kind of ineffective or un willing police.

@@pikachuthunderbolt3919 Such things must be intercepted and interrogated inside the system.

no

Yaa, me too

Atleast those prob have a decent ending. Reality isn't ,Hope the killer would get what he deserves.

Signal, Tunnel, Memoirs of Murder,

that has been on my list for a year now i guess its time to finally watch it after this

Yep! Love that movie! So good!!

is it connected to the movie or it is really the event then they make it into a movie?

The case of Mr. Yoon somehow been added to the movie but the movie was all about Hweoseong Murder case where the police never catch the real murderer

Love that movie.

Many k dramas are based on it Gap Dong for instance and other movies

Thank you for sharing that. Would check the movie.

@@RezaPutra2504 Yes, you should :) Like 'Parasite', it has wonderful long takes, and the director made the ending scene for the killer to see. (The killer was finally caught in 2019)

Yes and the movies’s deduction about the murderer was quite spot-on

no

Please name the dramas

same

Not much documentary on it.

But i am still confused ..was hoon the real killer or was he innocent like he says???

i0

@@ZH-Rocks Chun-jae Lee is the true criminal of this case. He confessed for his crimes last 2019 when faced if DNA evidence. Yoon was imprisoned for 20 years for a crime he didn't commit because of incompetent police, they also tortured him until he confessed just to solved the case. But he was proven innocent after the real killer is caught (he is also in prison that time for killing his sister in law).

@@thefourcorners6306 thank you so much for detailed information😘.i feel so sad for poor yoon..he lost his 20years because of all this😢😭.

@@ZH-Rocks you're welcome :) i really do love watching this kind of documentaries. Definitely! he serves and live in prison whole of his youth, thats kinda depressing to think especially you were convicted to a crime you didn't commit. He won the case though and compensated with money but time in prison will never bought by money. jeez -_-

Terrible. During that time Korea was very politically unstable, and although economically growing by leaps and bounds, in other areas it was still at an underdeveloped country's level. Law and government procedures being two of them. A good glimpse of how incompetent some police investigations were during this time, you could look into the case of The Frog Boys, the murder of several boys in Korea during the early 90's I believe. It was handled horribly and remains unsolved to this day.

There is no clock in Korean prison. So obviously the prisoner not allow to own clock either.

One of my favourite series 😉

I like that show too!

That happens to people over here too. Cops want the case wrapped up because of pressure from superiors, so they'll blame the first one they can find!

They still suck after 2000: the Burning Sun scandal

It was based on thesw murders

Mouse is such a good thriller!

actually a lot of kdrama inspired with this case

Tunnel also inspired by hwaseong murder

u should watch memories of murder

Signal

Right !!!
