In the episode airing on the 21st, Curious Stories Y will delve into the horrific murder that took place within a South Korean elementary school.
What could have been an ordinary day turned into a nightmare for the Kim family after a phone call changed everything. The call came from a staff member at the academy, informing them that their first-grade daughter, Haneul, had not boarded the shuttle bus. Immediately, Mr. Kim activated a location tracking app on his phone to find his daughter while also listening intently to the sounds on the other end of the line.
Mr. Kim recalled hearing "the heavy breathing of an older woman. It sounded like someone had sprinted about 100 meters, gasping for air. I could hear the sound of drawers being opened and closed repeatedly."
Haneul was in the school's audiovisual room, but tragically, after being stabbed, she did not survive. The most shocking aspect of the case was the identity of the perpetrator. The person responsible for this horrific act was a teacher in her 40s, Ms. Myung, who worked at the same school. This unprecedented incident of a teacher murdering a first-grade student occurred in what should have been the safest place for children.
Prior to the incident, Ms. Myung had a history of violent behavior towards fellow teachers and was known to carry a utility knife, raising concerns about her conduct. After the incident, she claimed her motive was due to depression and that she intended to die alongside the last child to leave. However, evidence emerged that she had searched for murder weapons prior to the incident, and footage showed her purchasing a weapon, suggesting a premeditated plan.
Curious Stories Y will explore the Daejeon elementary school murder case that has left the entire nation in mourning, airing on Friday, the 21st, at 9 PM.
