Lee Choon-Jae actually did see "Memories of Murder" in theaters. He said he had no particular reactions or feelings about it. One of the reasons Director Bong Joon-ho specifically chose this ending because he was confident the killer would watch it. He was right, but apparently Lee had such little or no conscience that he couldnt connect a based-on-his-reality drama emotionally to his actual reality and the shame it should/would cause in most human beings. Just another chilling example of how psychologically messed up Lee really is.

Yeah, while I cannot find any information about how prisoners can watch films in South Korea, it would make sense that prisoners would be forced to watch "Memories of Murder". As Director Bong Joon-ho made this movie hoping the killer would watch it, it would make sense for jails to make inmates watch it in the hopes it would drive the killer to confess to what they've done if they were already imprisoned. Given the murders did stop and what we already know about serial killers in general, the police probably figured the killer was in jail or dead.

@sadistik_re

Жыл бұрын

he did not.

What's chilling is that, roughly seventeen years ago, the police consulted Yoo Young-chul for this case, who is basically the Ted Bundy of South Korea (killed 20 people in little less than an year), during Lee Choon-jae's killing hiatus after he stuck in jail for murduring his sister in law. Young-chul, after observing the case, stated: "The killer is either dead already or in jail. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stop himself. He's addicted to murder." He was on point.

While punishment may be lonesome and damage your reputation, you can be financially reimbursed, you cannot be unkilled.

Sex crime justice is repulsive in S.Korea. Just last year, two singers were charged for drugging and gang raping multiple women on multiple occasions, taping the assaults and sharing it in group chats. They have the messages and videos as evidence. They got five or six years only to have their sentences REDUCED. They have filed multiple appeals. Their justice system is a joke.

I’m from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I’m so glad you covered this case! I love your videos!

Excellent story, told well. I’m glad you pointed out the movie “Memories of Murder”, which I saw some months ago. It was great to see your vid about the actual capture of this man, after seeing the movie with no resolution of the case yet. My movie night group has been watching South Korea movies for almost a year. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The film inspired by this case, Memories of Murder is one of the first films that hipped me to the excellence of Korean thrillers. The director Bong Joon-ho won an Oscar last year for the biting social class satire Parasite. He also directed Snowpiercer. His entire film catalogue is genius.

I have so much respect for the director for making the movie when the police are basically useless and misconducting all of the investigations and numerous people were blindly investigated and charged, still women just kept disappearing. He was like “That’s enough, let me just tell the whole country the truth” and the movie shows how incompetent the polices are and with the movie being a huge hit, the police finally got their act together. Huge respect.

You’re such a great storyteller I love all the stories that you put out but I can’t believe they have a statue of limitation of murder

A murder victim & their loved ones suffer permanent consequences- but the murderer won't have to if they aren't caught before the statute of limitations has passed. So unfair.

Kim Huang-Jang(I know I totally messed that up) the little 7 year old girl is THE MOST HEARTBREAKING part of this story for me. Her for parents looking for her all those years, only to to find out, not only is she dead, but she died at the hands of a cowardly sociopath. AND THE COPS KNEW!!! For 20 f'n YEARS, they knew!!!! And PURPOSLY HID the information about finding the dead girl!! Which actually makes me more disgusted than the sociopath! Cause at least he has an excuse, he's a sack of hammers. Just nuts as they come. What's their excuse? Just because she was a girl is ALL IT WAS. I usually don't play the gender card, but I believe had it been a boy found, they might have done more. But, who knows, if your to lazy and unfeeling to do anything for a little girl who's been obviously brutalized and murdered in the most horrific way imaginable, your probably not doing it for anyone. Anyways, I hope her parents and family have somehow found SOME kind of piece. And I hope this pos gets what he deserves in his Korean prison cell, DAILY.
