Unanswered Questions covered the Gangbuk motel serial murder case and revealed the combination of drugs believed to have been used by suspect Kim Soyeong, prompting an outpouring of concern.
On the 21st, SBS current affairs program Unanswered Questions aired an episode titled "Lady, killer — Gangbuk motel serial murder case," examining suspect Kim Soyeong's method of operation.
Previously, Kim Soyeong was indicted and detained on charges of giving beverages containing benzodiazepine-class drugs to three men in their 20s from mid-December last year until the 9th of last month, causing them to lose consciousness or die. In addition, the police confirmed that she committed drugged beverage crimes against three other men.
Suspect Kim Soyeong is reported to have combined several types of drugs and given them to the victims, and in this instance Unanswered Questions disclosed the types of drugs believed to have been used by Kim Soyeong exactly as they were.
This spread across social media and online communities, with specific pharmaceutical companies, drug names and combinations being exposed, and some questioned, "Is it appropriate to disclose this as is?", "The risk of copycat crimes is high", and "It wasn't necessary to reveal photos or specific kinds of the drugs."
Meanwhile, the Unanswered Questions production team also exposed the drug information without redaction in a summary video posted on its official YouTube channel on the 24th. Comments on the video included, "I'm worried that if the drugs are described too specifically, copycat criminals will emerge."
