Today (the 13th, Monday) at 10:10 a.m., tvN's Naked World History (directed by Kim Hyung-o, Lee Yun-ho, Kim Gi-jun, Choi Jun-hyuk) airs its 250th episode, which looks into the armed robber couple who became pop culture icons, Bonnie and Clyde.
For this, Konkuk University professor of police science Lee Ung-hyeok appears as the lecturer. He served as a professor in the department of criminal justice at the University of Toledo in the United States and currently serves as an advisory member on forensic investigation for the Korean National Police Agency. In his lecture that day, the professor plans to strip bare the true nature of Bonnie and Clyde, the crime couple of the century who thrilled not only the United States but the entire world.
Professor Lee Ung-hyeok introduces Bonnie and Clyde as a notorious runaway couple who, during the 1930s U.S. Great Depression, engaged in cat-and-mouse chases with police and carried out elusive escape dramas. They committed bank robbery, kidnapping, and indiscriminate shootings and brutally murdered as many as 13 people, so much so that U.S. investigative authorities formed elite pursuit squads to catch the two who were skilled at escaping.
Although Bonnie and Clyde were a brutal killer couple, the professor explains, they nevertheless received enthusiastic public support. Their attractive looks and sophisticated fashion made them famous and turned them into century stars, even leading to the absurd situation of them being called folk heroes. The criminal acts and final moments of Bonnie and Clyde, who were reborn several times in films and musicals and became icons of popular culture, can be seen in today's broadcast.
Meanwhile, today's travel mates include Seo Dong-joo, who worked as an attorney in the United States, and Dr. Kim Bo-kyung, who has studied criminal psychology for 10 years. Attorney Seo Dong-joo shared knowledge about the U.S. criminal investigation system, and Dr. Kim Bo-kyung enriched the lecture by analyzing not only Bonnie and Clyde's criminal psychology but also the psychology of the public that idolized them.<
