That's Knowable production team directly met abductors and human trafficking organizers targeting Koreans in Cambodia.
On the night of the 16th, a specially scheduled episode of SBS's That's Knowable (abbreviated as TKK), titled "Cambodia: crime city, 88 days of pursuit," covered crimes targeting Koreans that have recently drawn social attention as the team traveled across Cambodia.
Most victims were lured by the promise of "high-paying part-time work" and were taken to remote Cambodian locations and confined in "Wench" compounds arranged like prisons, where they were exposed to various crimes such as abduction, human trafficking, assault and fraud. A victim who barely escaped, Seo Ho-jung (alias), lamented, The Koreans entice and sell other Koreans. That was so chilling and made my skin crawl.
In response, the TKK production team contacted the criminal organizer "Kkomi," who had called them to Cambodia, through Seo Ho-jung and another victim, Park Jong-ho (alias), who had been confined in a nearby "Wench" compound. To avoid being traced, they communicated only via Telegram and introduced an ID believed to be another organizer called "Nami."
A meeting between "Nami" and the TKK production team was barely arranged. The man presumed to be "Nami" met the production team and, instead of hiding or avoiding them, calmly continued the conversation. He dodged by saying, I honestly was contacted and came on behalf of someone else, and I shared the Telegram, I didn't set it up. He added an excuse: They told me to come right away if I thought it was strange because of jeans and a shirt, hiking boots and hiking clothes — a typical police outfit. However, before the rendezvous the production team noted that the voice on the call with the organizer sounded strikingly similar.
Nami, who said, The broadcast doesn't matter, brazenly said, I honestly don't like torture or abduction either. But I think they brought it on themselves. To be blunt, they could have just not gone. They came on their own feet; who can you blame. If they hadn't come it would be fine, but didn't they come to break the law to make money?
He even laughed and made a peace sign as he finished the interview, saying, I don't refuse the work that comes to me, when the production team asked whether he felt any pangs of conscience. The brutal scenes of a crime city where people are bought and sold so routinely provoked shock.
