"Curious Story Y" digs into the truth behind the murder of a 20-something influencer.
On the 3rd episode of SBS "Curious Story Y," the program traces the murder of a 20-something influencer.
A 20-something influencer who had 300,000 followers on social media was murdered. Her cold corpse, with severe facial injuries, was found on a mountainside in Muju, North Jeolla Province, a place with no ties to her. The estimated time of death was 3:27 p.m. on the 11th. The crime occurred within about 30 minutes after she finished her final live broadcast — what could have happened in that short time?
The perpetrator who killed Ji-a is a man in his 50s, surnamed Choi (alias). He was an SNS agent who approached her claiming he would increase her follower count and had a business partnership with her. It turned out he was a so-called "big spender" VIP on the video platform where Ji-a was active and was known among influencers as a person of considerable wealth.
The platform, which assigned different levels according to sponsorship amounts, said that reaching Choi's level 46 required spending at least 100 million won. But although he introduced himself as the CEO of an IT company, he was not actually that wealthy and was experiencing financial difficulties to the point that his house had gone to auction. The day before the incident, he was seen suddenly kneeling before Ji-a and pleading for something. Choi, a man in his 50s who was called a VIP but was tormented by debt, knelt down — what was he kneeling for?
Meanwhile, this week's SBS "Curious Story Y" will air on Friday the 3rd at 8:50 p.m.
