I'm a believer in the lovely phrase "If you want to commit adult crimes and make adult choices, then you must face adult consequences." (in most cases)
You'd think there'd be a limit for getting out of jail. Sure they're young and the law is well intented but when you commit like 4 felonies in a single month there should be an actual consequence.
Hearing you talk about what Kun was saying to his mom when he got his ID had me tearing up. He sounded like such a beautiful soul, I hope he is resting peacefully. May karma unleash her fury on his killers.
People need to keep in mind that prison isn't just a punishment. It's a way to keep dangerous people away from others. If these kids were properly dealt with, this wouldn't have happened.
Korean police force only functions properly for people with high profiles. The public can't do anything since the government doesn't give af they will just issue a public apology and call it a day.
in my country, the netherlands, like a lot of other european countrys prison is treated more like a mental rehabilitation process. especially for minors. it seems to be working tho. the chances of people committing crime in europe after they go to prison is way lower then in the us for example. however i do agree some people are beyond help but in most cases theyre not. crime with children is still a problem here too tho because we have similar laws where teenagers are treated diffrent then adults and theyre doing crazy things like walking around with knifes etc
@@JustMe-vs1kj yes I agree that prison should be more like mental rehabilitation rather then like a punishment but the key is that they need to be far away from society until they get better.
As a 13 year old I think this is absolutely disgusting. Even the thought of killing somebody is horrifying to me. These people need to be punished and don’t deserve to be released.
I’m tired of people treating children as if they are stupid and don’t know better. If a 2 year old can comprehend hitting someone isn’t okay, 5, 10, 13 knows what’s wrong. No matter age actions has consequences
I don't know any 2-year-old who knows it's not okay to hit someone unless it was taught to them, but nevertheless, I don't agree with the teens killing someone either
My mom has lung cancer and this year she was taking a walk and a car speeding down the road HIT HER and left her. In the dead of winter in Connecticut. She broke every bone in her body. Had to get new hips, etc. they hit her and left her for dead. So she had to be in hospice with Covid and cancer and not able to move for over a year. She lost her job. Her apartment. The person was NEVER CAUGHT or people. The police didn’t even try to look. She has to leave hospice with no place to go and still with cancer and broken bones. She was so excited. She had just gotten a job after doing chemo for so long. Her cancer had just stopped growing. So there are people out there who left a woman with cancer for dead in the middle of the road in winter and the police did nothing. I am so angry and stressed. I just sold my house so I can’t even take my mom in. She lost the job and her ability to do anything on her own after cancer had taken so much with her and she still has to do chemo. This really hits home.
I’m so sorry for you and your mother. Absolutely horrible of the criminal who did this to her and the police. I’m sending good thoughts for both of you, I hope she can still find her strength despite it all
@@josefinxu thank you. It's just so sad how cold the world is. I once found an old man in the middle of the road in winter drunk who cracked his head open and stayed with him until The ambulance came and held his hand. I just can't believe how cold people can be to see something. And do nothing. And the police must be overwhelmed since it's low priority.
These kids are not just criminals in the making, they already are! They are not "clueless" they *know* what they are doing. They need to be hold accountable.
My heart DROPPED when I saw the motorcycle. My friend was walking home from a high school reunion when this happened, she's said she can NEVER look at motorcycles the same, all she can think about is the crushed up metal and the body just inches away
she was there?😢 side note: even the ppl there and the ppl seeing this online are feeling like this while the ppl who actually caused it arent feeling anything. are they even real ppl?
Honestly the stories of bullying that ive heard from Korea and Japan are horrible, litterally rªpe, m*urder, torture, wth is wrong in those places, unbelievable.
I didn't understand why "bullying " was such a problem in korea. But, I guess we all know why from just this one case. The LAW should be protecting victims rather than the perpetrators - not the other way around. This disgusts me and knowing this angers me. I honestly teared up at one moment because it was so heartbreaking. I've NEVER done that whilst hearing of a case. Even hearing about the 800 fee angered me. Sure it prevents rental companies from providing vehicles to minors to some degree, but that does not punish the children in any way. It just makes it inconvenient to them. Of course rental companies should be held accountable, however, the law is still protecting the children. There is NOTHING put in place to punish them.
@@kimmyjimmyfics9864 That's not it. In our country, children are criminally responsible from the age of fifteen, even for murder, and bullying is not that bad here, and in the last thirty years there have been two cases where a fourteen-year-old killed someone.
A few days ago a korean middle schooler killed her friend and called the Police after admitting to the crime. The first question she asked them was if it's true she'd be treated as a minor
I think the saddest part about this whole thing is, if you’re a murdered by a minor in Korea, you won’t gain any sort of justice. My heart goes out to the victims family who have to live in a constant reminder that her sons killers are still at large.
Not only in Korea though, probably in a lot of places. At least in Europe. There have been arguably even more violent murders and nothing and nobody can really touch these kids.
@@gogumadalpaengi well europe is not one place with one law. Many countries have different age limits for children in criminal justice system. Varies between 12-16 if im correct.
@@wdvnge I know, I live in Europe. What I meant is that it's not only an issue in Korea and Japan. These laws are outdated everywhere and should be revised. A 14 year old today isn't even comparable to a 14 year old from twenty years ago, let alone to a teen at the time when these laws were made.
Can we find a way to give to his mom 😢 or even if I can a little something. Money will never fix him being gone but it's what he was doing working to help his mom
18:15 most UA-camrs would end the video here, but the fact that Stephanie and whoever else works on these videos puts so much effort and research to get the most details and tell the story so incredibly thoroughly leaving us with NO questions is incredibly admirable 😊
I literally started sobbing when she said that Kun told his mom he would take care of her and that he would be her guardian 😭😭 Also the blatant disrespect and lack of empathy the murderers showed was disgusting. I psychically could not. I had to pause several time watching this due to pure disgust, hatred, and sadness for the immeasurable amount of loss Kun’s mother must feel.
@@TecTitan Honestly, their lives combined are still worth way less than the 18 year old's so it wouldn't even be a fair trade.... That's the worst part...
as a 13 year old myself , even when we are as young as 10 years old kids know whats wrong and whats right we are not clueless or that immature , the fact that they ran away shows they exactly knew what they were doing as a minor myself if someone commits a crime that concerns a life punish them severely, minor or not. i can vouch that us minors are not clueless its clear that they are sick in the mind.
@@kelseylandon1224little different?? how so?? i think that minors or adults should be punished the same, i mean they all commited crimes so they get what they deserve, especially if they know what they are doing.

Why aren't the parents held responsible for their crimes. If they are below the age of accountability, then their parents should be responsible for their children's actions
@@TUBESTEAKNIG But they're raising their kids with no discipline and are therefore enabling this kind of behaviour. This wasn't a one-off accident, this kind of criminal behaviour has been a reoccurring theme with these kids. The parents should AT LEAST be fined for their kids actions every time they've broken a law.
Poor baby! He just turned 18, he didn’t even get to live and achieve his dreams. These 13year olds needs to be punished properly. Even if they were just 13 their actions shouldn’t be overlooked, they choose to do this knowing damn well they were in the wrong. They took an innocent person life, absolutely no excuse. Hardest thing for a parent is when they watched their kids die first. I hope that poor boy rest easy 🕊️
As a survivor myself I haven't done much with my second chance at life and in a way I want to start working harder not just for me but for him and one day I hope to find his mom. Money will never fix it but it's what he was working for to help his mom. He didn't even get to react just like that he was gone and those demons are still alive. It's not fair. I hope to help his mom something he saw as his responsibility because it was out of love. May he rest in peace
In Wisconsin, 12 year olds tried to kill their friend and they both got tried as adults. I don’t understand how places like Korea and Japan can look at the crimes kids do and NOT make them accountable in the way they should
@@heylove582 I have to wonder if Korea has had a similar situation. We’ve heard of girls of those Ages doing unspeakable things. I would not be surprised if it did happen
If the Korean law cannot punish these kids I just hope society would never forget their names and echo them throughout so that no one would actually let them into the workforce.
i heard somewhere i can’t remember that if a minor commits a crime, the justice will wait till they get to the right age. isn’t it the same to the Korean law?
@@lyzfarthat’s just what I thought what they should do.. but not sure if it is. I watched a kdrama „Juvenile Justice“ it’s about a judge who hates juvenile criminals. It was really good (not the punishments tho) but not sure if it’s 100% reality, but like the videos i saw till now it seems so.
@@ikramrafi6481obviously not a strict country if kids are going around literally torturing other kids for the fun of it, Korean parents and elders are absolute failures.
Something similar recently happend in Germany. Two Girls met up with their friend, Luise. After they were done, had said goodbye and Luise was walking back home though a forest, her two friends followed her and stabbed her with a knife over 70 times. She was probably still breathing when they left her body in the woods. This happend earlier this year. One of the girls was about to turn 14 in a few days, which in Germany is also the age where you can get legally punished. So these two girls knew that they had to commit this crime before they turned 14. This sparked a huge discussion here as well. As far as I know the two perpetrators are doing well and are free. They got protected by the government so their families are living as happily as ever.
Literally toddlers are getting beat to the floor by their parents at home for a simple misdemeanor and their parents are most of the time not punished at all so why is it sooooo wrong to make these teenagers pay for taking a life?????
A friend once convinced me to steal make up from a store. The mall guards caught us and called the police. The police gave me a choice, call your parents yourself or we will. So I did. I called mom out of a police car, crying I stole something and am in a police car. She didn't yell at me. She didn't ground me. She didn't "punish" me. Instead, she called the store, asked them to put the make up I tried to steal aside and made me save from my weekly money (equivalent to like maybe 1 dollar) till I had enough to go up the store humiliated to ask "umm, I'm here to pay for the stuff I tried to steal" I was 12. I NEVER stole again.
I have a similar story. I stole the key to a diary at Barnes and Nobles, and I think I ended up telling on myself because I was so scared of getting caught by my mom. Well, my mom took me up to Barnes and Nobles and made me talk to security and apologize for stealing. Never touched a single thing again. 😂
That’s the same thing I have grappled with too. But you have to remember that there are people who need attorneys because the system is working against them. So even if someone is guilty. You have to be there to make sure their punishment fits the crime. You also need to be the one there to make sure innocent people don’t go to prison. That’s a very important job that you shouldn’t feel bad about. As long as you keep your morals & you don’t lose sight of your compassion & empathy for others. You’ll be a great lawyer.
This is not as easy as you think.A lawyer does not controls everything.You have to be enough powerful to take justice in your hands.I hope you will become that one day.
"justice" stand for the idea not reality and not all the laws are perfect unfortunatly , for me your job is essential tho you dont have to be ashame for that , the fact that it mather for you and other may make the things changes in the futur hopfully (atleast when money or powerfull people are not involve in the changes require).
In Poland we have a really similar case where a 13 year old boy killed his girlfriend who was pregnant because he didn't want to have a baby. And he killed her ONE DAY before his 14 birthday when he would face a more serious consequences
@@lystheshaman then that's on their parents, they failed the child and should also be punished. at the same time since this kid doesn't know right from wrong he is dangerous to society so its just common sense not to let this kid out to do more harm. i don't know what is the right thing to here but you definitely cant just let the kid out into society like nothing ever happened
as a 13 year old who never cries at death or movies, i actually teared up at the bit where the mum blew on his wounds for a whole hour. this is absolutely horrific and it baffles me how they didn’t even stop
Actually same, death doesn't really affect me the way it does to the people around me, I don't think I process it right, but when she said that the mother kept trying to close his eyes "it's ok you can close your eyes.." I was tearing up
@@MillyMilly21 no of course not! some people don’t feel strong emotions as much as others, especially if it’s over a screen and not something personal to you. don’t worry about it!

Eight middle school students from 목일중학교 stole a car and drove to Daejeon in the middle of the night. At some point they hit a food delivery driver on a motorcycle and were pursued by police. The motorcyclist, a university student in his twenties, ended up succumbing to his wounds. Since none of the students are over 14, they cannot be punished under Korean law. Originally no one knew who the students were, but the victim’s girlfriend was able to track down their social media accounts and got in touch with their friends who shared their photographs and KakaoTalk conversations with her. Apparently these students are notorious in their neighborhood for breaking into stores at night, stealing from convenience stores, and taking pictures of themselves smoking outside of police stations. The victim’s girlfriend has started a petition to change the law regarding juvenile delinquency. It already has over 500,000 signatures.
The moment that the delivery driver's mom had with her son at the hospital was absolutely heartbreaking... the fact that she told him it's okay... and she blew on his wounds and tried to put him to rest one last time. I can't imagine the pain...
This tore me up 😢 I watch a lot of these and that tore me to pieces. I cannot imagine that pain..telling your baby it’s okay knowing it’s never going to be okay
That part wrecked me, my grandma whom I grew up with for majority of my childhood recently passed away peacefully and we were devastated even though we were it was coming and she didn’t suffer during her passing. So I can’t imagine my own child whom you never expect to pass before you, in the horrible state he was in… how do you ever recover from that.
@@xoxoAL1I always think about this, especially with someone so young. I lost my dad at 18, we’re a strong multigenerational family and I was terrified to see how my grandmother would cope: He was openly her favorite and her baby. The only relief, she tells us, is that he left her three granddaughters who immediately began to take care of her like he did. I don’t want to even imagine what the grief would be like if we didn’t exist and if my dad had been 18 and not 55. Crushing.
Not even in the making. They're like full on fully made products (defective) and are out in the market for the pain of innocent people who had the misfortune to come across them.
I believe it was last year or so. In a town near me, two 12 year old girls stabbed their classmate to death and left her to bleed out in the woods. No, they weren´t punished and the two familys moved away. This also sparked a heated debate about the age of "Strafmündigkeit", when can you be legaly held responsible for your actions. As someone who works with children, this is very hard to answer, and I believe a case by case approach would maybe work. Since in that age, their emotional developement is so different. Still, to commit hard crimes like SA, murder and general assault, you have to be a certain type of person to step over that treshold of violence. That shouldn´t be ignored, no matter the age of the culprit.
I was also going to say it's quite similar in Germany. In general I believe in the ability to correct a child's or teenager's path and their own ability to develop but in extreme cases it does leave you questioning the system...
@@suann9790 Yeah. It's also important for the victims that there is at least the semblance of justice. Accidents happen of course, but deliberatly harming someone and then getting off scott free because of your age, does leave a bad taste in my mouth. One can only hope that the horror about what they did will come when they are older, and will make them better people...
Ich kann mich an den schrecklichen Fall erinnern und bin der Meinung, dass die Strafmündigkeit unbedingt nach unten gesetzt werden muss. Dieses "mir kann nichts passieren, weil ich noch keine 14 bin" bringt eine gefährliche Sicherheit für Kinder/Jugendliche mit sich. Wir haben so jetzt schon ein größeres Problem mit Kindern, die aufgrund von den ständigen Lockdowns schlecht bis gar nicht sozialisiert wurden, so dass wir eingreifen müssen.
@@Andre-c6z There is this „Eltern haften für ihre Kinder“ thing, which basically means parents are liable for their children, but I think it only really applies to property damage and the like. But don’t quote me on that, I‘m not a lawyer. Hm, just looked it up. Nope, it’s not a legal thing, just a sign on construction sites and what not. Parents are only liable when they did a „Aufsichtspflichtverletzung“. A breach of supervisor duty. But judges take the autonomy of a child also into account. Again, I‘m not a legal expert…
Well I am living in Korea Suji. A high school student on a scooter crashed into my dog while I was trying to cross the street last year. Luckily there were witnesses and cameras. When the police came, we went to testify together. that child's mother tried to use violence against me and made racist statements. I was not going to complain at first and I was going to tell him to be more careful next time, but I applied to the court in the face of the psychological and physical violence they put to me. the scooter hit me too, but my dog suffered the most damage. I requested a translator even though I know advanced Korean, but they made me wait for months. The boy's father offered me money first, but I refused, then threatened to kill me. People in court were more interested in why I lived in Korea than the accident. I work and I pay taxes for this country! no one can make racist remarks to me in a place where I legally reside. though the vast majority of korea is racist and ignorant 😏😅 The court was canceled because there was no 'concrete evidence'. I spent over $6,000 on my dog's surgery and my own treatment, and no one even apologized to me in return… I applied again for a second court with camera records and eyewitness statements. I hope that spoiled little punk gets the justice he deserves this time.
Living in Korea is not like what we see on the Kdrama. In reality people's here in korea are judgemental and racist. I'm half korean and half Australian, people's still considered me as outsiders. Most people here are really arrogant, they always looking down on other people's mostly people from other asian countries especially the South East Asia countries.
I live in Japan and was a victim, I was injured to the point i have to wear a sling in my dominant arm for a month, tried to find justice, nothing happened after 3 years, i think they didn’t even process it after I gave my statement and all the proofs, i have to pay for all my medical bills and the SOAB is free
@@jacqychan I was born and lived in Japan until I was 5 years old. My parents moved to Canada for a better life because they realized how fucked up our society was there. Of course everywhere has its bad sides.. but it's VERY better.
These stories are all so infuriating. I know its bad to wish for something bad to happen to someone but people like this, people like the 8 kids mentioned in the video, with the way they acted, it made me feel like I hope there is someone out there outside the law who can do something horrible to this people because they deserve it.
i feel like the law is just there to protect those criminals and murderers and not the actual victims. like why do we need to think about their “bright future” when they were the ones that had taken the bright future from someone innocent….
In my experience of middle school it contains the biggest sociopaths Ive ever seen. Just complete lack of understanding mix with lack of caring just leads kids to do the most fcked up things. By high school end they start having a goal of getting into uni but before that it's a bunch of kids stuck bored influencing each other and trying to outdo each other.
Someone should be held accountable! A 13 year old is old enough to be held accountable. But if it's a child that is too young to be held accountable, then it's parents should be held accountable; especially if that child has committed multiple offenses in the past.
They clearly have a serious problem just letting kids get away with crimes to the point some of them are clearly aware they won't be held legally responsible in anyway
I saw a documentary on gangs in Japan that purposely recruit young kids because even if they kill, their punishment would be very minimal. They interviewed the kids (blurred faces) and they would say they know they won’t get in trouble so it’s a perfect time to try doing all these crimes. They are not scared. It was terribly disturbing to hear.

PSA FOR THOSE VISITING SOUTH KOREA: In case you are visiting or plan to move there, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't get involved or try to be brave in a fight or help someone who is being attacked! I know this is infuriating for all the people watching, I know you're wondering where the adults are and why nobody is helping! AS MUCH AS IT'S COMMON SENSE FOR YOU TO DO SO, Korean laws are not kind to foreigners in this way. Cultural difference and language barrier can get you in serious trouble, especially if you do not have Korean friends. If you don't have anyone to defend you, they will most likely accuse you of being the attacker. As much as the country is said to be safe, there are many lacking laws and protection, especially for foreigners! Don't take this as me hating South Korea. I love the country and the culture, it's beautiful and challenging. But like any other country, you have to take the good with the bad. So please, be mindful and responsible of all the things you decide to do there.
I wanna add that as much as people love saying the crime rate in South Korea is low and statistics show that too, the only reason it's low is because of how underreported crimes especially against women and foreigners are. Please be careful when travelling and take advice from people that lived in SK
Nah don't worry, I already hate the people, country and their ridiculous horrendous laws after watching this video. Your comment is only an add on to my already existing dislike towards them. Such hypocrites they are. Ewww, it sounds so so soooooo scary to live there. They are so pretentious and that's so disgusting and scary to me. Glad I wasn't born into that evil society.
Living in SK for years and your advice is 100% real. I would add that never expect an apology for being pushed in public (example: subway), even if you get punched nobody will apologize to you.
Also 3rd video I've watched of yours and for the 3rd time got teary eyed. You have a gift for storytelling. Even tho the topics are very dark and sometimes horrible, you tell it in a very elegant yet educational way and I commend you for it. 🙇🏼🙇🏼
When she talked about his mom being the great mom she is, I thought to myself as a new mom "that could be my son". I cried. This hit different, I hope his family is healing and I wish them all a wonderful life.
This discussion is also happening in Germany at the moment where the laws are similar. A 12 and 13 year old school girl went to the woods with their 12 year old classmate Luise and stabbed her multiple times . They couldn’t be charged with anything and just moved with their family. Many people were shocked and their personal info and TikToks were leaked shortly after. This might be good case you could cover sometime.
I think in Germany, even if they don’t get sent to prison, they are not just send home. They get checked on, there is the possibility for psychological treatments and so on
Luise was being mobbed by the two girls and because she told her parents and teachers the two girls were so angry that they lured Luise to the woods and stabbed her ( i believe it was 74 times) and they still just go fee This law is insane.
In America, 8 13 year old repeat offenders would already be in juvenile detention until 18, after the murder, the 13 year olds responsible will be held in juvenile detention until they are 17 or 18 to receive a murder charge. The point of the Law is Order, and you can't maintain Order without punishing people, of any age, for breaking the Law.
I started to cry when Stephanie said that the mom tried closing his eyes and that the mom tried many times to put him to rest, i know it was really losing her son. I hope she gets justice, may he rest in peace ♥
The only small reassurance in all fo this is seeing how much even their classmates turned on them. Real nice to hear all these other kids not only acknowledging how fucked up the whole thing was, but actively going out of their way to name and shame.
yea true. it only made me stop losing hope in humanity rlly but seriously, imagine some of ur classmates or friends doing this kind of horrendous act... gosh my head spins just thinking about it let's all hope that all of us learn from this case and try to raise awareness to parents to raise and take care of their children well and not let them take part in delinquent activities and events and punish them for their wrongdoings
I just hope in the years to come Korean people won’t forget this happened and they will still be turning their backs on them. Life won’t be easy for them.
I can’t imagine being the mother and how infuriating it is to have these immature kids not caring at all. Worst part, the law does NOTHING about it. A sad well-behaved boy who had a life to live gets killed by boys and laughing about this situation. Gosh their parents should re-think how they raised these monsters who show no remorse

My neighbours kids are racist and their parents don’t care, in fact they defend their kid even if they’re wrong and may even be racist themselves, it’s obviously not the same but both fail to teacher their kids out of ignorance or something, then this kids find these friends with encourage the same bad behaviour.
I always found the bullying in kdramas a little too unrealistic as me being a kid that age would have been sent to the principal's office for saying a curse word... but now I know that those bullies in those Kdramas are just a small glimpse of the whole reality there and the reason why they always get away with it is because of this law I felt so emotional for Kun's mother and friend like how devastated they are feeling and it just breaks my heart that he was just starting his adult life but never got to live it...

@@Kunfucious577 ''ass wooping'' is still VERY common in literally ALL of Asia, including the west, south, central, east, south east. So no, this has nothing to do with not abusing your damn child. Its about laws being ridiculous, and completely dismissing EVERY crime someone commits just because of their age, and also making it 14 which is ridiculously high. Plenty of other countries are doing fine in Europe, with the crime age being set lower, and abusing your child not being normalized. If the law punishes them, its all good, the issue is the LAW. Y'all are the exact people Stephanie mentioned, the weird political people who are trying to blame it on ANYTHING other then the LAW, which helps nobody and nothing in reality other then fuel your own delusions. Beating someone up or physically hitting them is a LITERAL crime when you're an adult, so there is 0 justification for doing it to your own child, y'all are ridiculously desperate to try and find ways to justify abuse. Not a single research has proven abusing a child helps at all, all of them show it causes trauma, and often sends them towards a wrong path. Most criminals also has abusive parents who DID beat them up, or emotionally abused them. So have fun creating more criminals with your backwards mindset. Just like this dumb law in Korea is old fashioned and backwards, so is your ridiculous conclusion and idea.
Exactly. It's like I'm getting traumatized over and over with each new video. In all honesty I feel very stupid to have been so naive thinking it was a relatively peaceful place.
it’s so strange. the country has a low crime rate on paper but there are so many horrific crimes. it’s almost like the reason their laws are so lenient is to appear better and safer to be able to claim that they have a low crime rate.

There's a growing number of Korean kids who go to school here in the Philippines. I thought it was just for English. Now I realize the parents are probably hoping to get them away from this kind of thing in Korean schools. This complete lack of culpability literally turns schools into death traps.
i have no idea, so that's how they skirt around to save their children, how can they get in though? some sort of student exchange, or they move there completely from the start?
@@NeroZeroes Student visas are easy to acquire. They either go to specialized schools teaching Korean students English for couple of years or so. Or in some cases, the family moves to the Philippines as long-term residents for like 5 to 10 years (some establish businesses here as well). Traditionally though, the adult students study alone in the more prestigious universities like De La Salle or Santo Tomas, since those schools teach courses in English, are comparatively cheaper, and have a good reputation in Korea for the quality of the education. This phenomenon is older, and dates back to when Korea was poorer and the Philippines was richer (shortly after WW2). Koreans still have the highest population of foreign students in the Philippines. Roughly twice the number of the next highest foreign student nationality. Several famous TV/movie celebrities and UA-camrs in the Philippines are of full Korean descent, but grew up in the Philippines. Sandara Park of the K-Pop band 2NE1 came from the same background. Which is why she can still speak Filipino and English, and she still comes back to the Philippines for vacations.
I've heard of this. I think I was searching if SK has any close relationships with any of the ASEAN countries and this popped up. On another note, if the parents are aware beforehand, they might have seen this kind of thing even from their era but probably smaller scale.
My dad died instantly in an intersection car crash. The people who did it walked away with minor cuts and bruises. They never even acknowledged us, let alone apologized. There was zero contact of any sort and zero consequences. I don't know if that's how it usually goes in cases that are ruled 'no fault' but it definitely suspends a certain amount of closure for the victims family.
My neighbor had a friend who was hit by a woman who couldn't see over the steering wheel, an elderly short woman and she hit someone, she died. The woman who hit her showed up at her funeral. And I couldn't imagine, I would have gave my all to the family. Cried on my knees. I wouldn't forgive myself.
If there is no human justice, God will give justice to your father. I am sure that those people have gone through horrible things or will go through horrible things because we all pay for the bad things we do and we pay triple.
i’m so glad i discovered this wonderful woman now while im young ❤️ she has taught me so much and humbled me and made me look at life in a different perspective. I thank her so much for her teaching and story telling
There was a similar case like this happened in Thailand. An engineer who’d just graduated, got hit by 16 year old RICH boy who is (still is) a national badminton player (even though he should be removed from the team after this hideous incident) The engineer’s parents are a farmer, working so hard to support the son and once the son got a job, he sent his 1/3 of salary back to his parents. The rest of the money was going to fund for his further study. The 16 year old rich kid didn’t have license. He drove BMW past through red light hit on the motorbike who came from the other direction of 4 junctions while he had a right to go since it was his green light. The father of this nasty kid said I DONT HAVE MONEY TO COMPENSATE TO YOU. And since then till now the nasty kid still got his bright future ahead with his career and have not paid for his crime.
Yea, just like the grandson of Redbull's founder. He got away with Hit and Run of a policeman and in Thailand, there is a time limit for crimes. So he fled to another country and is waiting out the time limit.
@@donnie022 right. Thai police department reported to public that they have no idea where the redbull heir is… while BBC managed to knock on the door of his hideout in England.
The fact that these "TEENAGERS" more like miscreant a**holes, didn't even thought of apologizing and plus the parents who raised their kids like this are just so despicable.
I can’t listen anymore, to heart breaking. It makes me sick ! How can society let these criminals go ? Their parents should be arrested ! Such a sad story. To much of this is going on today . Terrible !
I think most infuriating thing is how senseless Kun’s murder was. If they already felt comfortable committing such blatant crimes because they knew they were gonna be released anyways then there was no reason for them to run the red light to get away from the cops to begin with.
This story brought me to tears, I was in a motorcycle accident with my boyfriend about 4 months ago I lived but he unfortunately passed away. His mom and I are so close now, prayers to his family ❤❤
Committing multiple crimes should at least make them minors not protected by their law. It is no longer a minor’s “mistake” if they commit crimes over and over again.
IKR I think there should be a limit to this law, three times sounds enough...and for murderers that are minors with no remorse, they deserve to spend the rest of the life as minors, in the juvie, getting their youth to be lost
The friend feeling guilt just wrecked my heart. I just can’t imagine how devastated she must’ve felt. This whole case just made me think about these parents and how their kids turn out this way. I’m so grateful for my parents and all those parents who teach their children whatsoever right what’s wrong in a basic sense and help them correct themselves even when making anyone slightly upset
originally people were born with good voices, raised with singing their entire childhood, or trained their voice in general :) u can def be good w singing u just have to train ur vocals
That poor kid! He’s 18, but that’s a child to me. Even if it was a 40 year old man…. That is devastating to witness, I can’t imagine knowing that’s my loved one who was just so disregarded. Thank you Stephanie for once again bringing attention to these cases that I otherwise might have never known about.
I'm the same age as him and I just completed my first year of college, he had his whole life ahead of him, and it was taken away just like that. It's devastating
If they are going to behave like this at this young of an age, what are they capable of when they get older? This is beyond awful, scary, horrific! Thank you for all the research that you do and how you try to bring this to light for the victims.
i had this question the back of my head too throughout the video, the lack of remorse makes me think they are psychos in the making, a innocent human murdered and not a single responsibility is so saddd
Yea me too but sometimes I feel like she’s doing too much. You know? Just like come on you can’t possibly know that but I appreciate the storytelling either way
@@JamesBrown-oe7zd hm? i dont really agree with your opinion unfortunately, but i like hearing the stories behind the people involved in cases, it allows us to sympathize more with the victims. sometimes a name and a face isnt enough to really feel that sympathy for another person
@@ray-ze8vfexactly. I genuinely started to tear up after hearing about how the victim wanted to provide for his mom when he's older, Stephanie does an amazing job at making the viewers feel raw emotions
@@ray-ze8vf right, it actually makes me cry with how you can actually imagine and put yourself in these people's shoes and understand their emotions and grief and past
i’m pretty new to your channel still, but this is 1 of about 7 of your videos i’ve watched so far that has brought me to tears. hearing you describe the mothers pain was just so horrifying to imagine. may he rest in peace, may his family heal peacefully and may those awful damn kids be held accountable for their actions.
im 18 right now and you are so right, we are still kids. I’m in college and I’m working to take my mom out of poverty. They way he said “mom I’m an adult I have my id I will be your guardian” is so painful. I sit back and think, im only 18 and I’m putting this on my back that I will take my mom out of poverty and work extremely hard. He is a child just like me, he was so young yet so mature and beautiful. My heart aches for him and his family. This is so heartbreaking.
Please remember to take care of yourself in the process 🙏🏾 you can’t do much when you get sick from neglecting yourself. Good luck for the rest of your time on college!
That law is beyond stupid. If they're going to make a law like that, don't pick age 14. I would protect ages under 12 but not 14. At the age of 12, many humans start having adult thoughts and those adult thoughts could very well be filled with criminal intent.
I believe that if they did something serious (under the age of 14) like murder,robbery, assault, torture etc they deserve to be tried like an adult but if it’s small like stealing a nail polish,pickpocketing etc. Us minors know what we are doing, we deserve to be punished if we do something horribly wrong
Like fr idk why they are acting like these children don't know what they are doing. The same way some of us choose not to get in trouble is the same way some choose to get in trouble
At 13 I remember I was playing with paper dolls. I was that innocent n naive. Looking at these teens, I am so shocked. I mean let's forget about the age for once, it's murder! I'm sure if I bymistake shove somebody, I'd be so ashamed of my behaviour, even though it's just by mistake. A murder is I'm sure ..the worst crime. How can they not be shaking? N what TF the parents did? My parents might have just probably disown me or worse refuse to acknowledge if I was ever born in their family or I'd be put 6 ft under by them . OMG .. it's so weird, creepy. So fckn evil
There's a webtoon comic called "Get Schooled" that's set in Korea. The topic of crimes being done by children under the age of 14 is heavily represented there. I didn't think anyone actually did the crazy things that I saw in the webtoon. THIS??? Way worse. I hope this leads to the law being changed because this is horrific on so many levels. My heart goes out to Kun's mom. The only silver lining is that it happened so fast, hopefully he didn't feel much of anything. May Kun rest in peace.
pretty sure a lot of actual cases were referred by the author including this one in the storyline, it's scary to think about how all those things are actual real life events happening to other people.
This case is infuriating. I can't believe that the law just lets them be and it's so sad and mind blowing to think that it's not even gonna be on their records. Edit: I agree that the parents should've been punished and held accountable for the crimes that their children did. Maybe then, they'll stop being so shameless.
It's the parents fault. The 13! year olds had committed crimes before and were gone from home for over 24 hours! The second my kid committed ANY crime I'm pulling them out of that school, getting them away from the trouble maker friends and they are being homeschooled or transferred far away. Idc I'll move cities if I have to. I can't imagine not caring my 13 year old is out all night. The parents are at fault. 13 year olds don't become so heartless out of nowhere. The parents failed them.
@@AlexKaneROTN yeah I completely agree with you! If they're going to refuse to charge children the parents need to be charged. Maybe then the parents would take their childrens behavior more seriously if they were going to have to answer for every crime their child commits
It'll be on their records alright. Thanks to netizens who are doing a serious public service for the rest of us, all of those boys and their families have been doxxed publicly. Their names are forever attached to this incident as a result. They won't ever be able to move on even if they never get actual punishment. I think even though that should be a given, it is kind of justice in this case. They won't be able to get employment at a good job anywhere, those kids won't be able to go to a good school and get good education, they and their families will be outcast from the rest of society. When these kids mature a little in a few years time maybe they'll realise that laughing about it on social media wasn't a smart decision after all. Their quality of life will be worse than that of prisoners and they'll be left wishing the courts had thrown them into damp prison cells.
I used to live in a super suburban area in korea and whenever I walked by a group of teenagers I would be so afraid I’d walk on the opposite side of the street if I could. They’d give off a dangerous vibe so I’d try not to make eye contact and just try to avoid getting their attention.
How old were you and how old were they? Were they all male or a mixed group? I never feel threatened when I am in Korea. Only time I vaguely felt my safety was at risk was at a club, when some drunk thug wannabes wanted me to apologize for bumping into them accidently.
@@JohnLeon203 I was like 28 and they were definitely in high school though I’m not sure specifically how old they were. I’m a short woman so I think I felt more vulnerable as well. And it didn’t help that they would be cussing super loud and smoking while grouped together. Most of the time they were guys but sometimes mixed. Definitely felt like I had to be careful in clubs too, though for me it was foreign men that would get too handsy vs Korean guys would ignore me (I don’t fit the Korean beauty stereotype lol)
@@beckyboo6166 Ah I see that's unfortunate, usually HS students are USUALLY relaxed. Yea thats club life for you, but in my experience its not as bad as the US.
@@JohnLeon203 does it matter the ages? these kids know they won't get punishment. even tho I'm a grown adult,, I'd be scared as shit of a group of kids who know they can get away with literal murder, robbery, assault, apparently. Especially since many kids just don't care they want to be cool and act bad
These kids are a threat to society. If they aren't punished, you can expect mass murderers in the very near future. Very scary! My deepest sympathies go to the poor victim's family. My heart breaks for them. :(
They already are major criminals, they caused a man's death. Even if they never committed another crime, they should still be punished severely just for this one
I literally cried hearing how heartbroken the mom was. I can't imagine having to see your son lay there knowing he died almost instantly and that he didn't have time to close his eyes. It infuriates me how these evil monsters had no sympathy, and how the government did nothing to punish them!!
This story broke my heart YALL, I’m balling my eyes out, my 15 year old son been saying the exact same things to me. “Mom don’t worry I will be sure to be successful one day so I can take care of you” this hits home for me. 💔 rest in heaven to that young man. 🙏🏼❤️
3 claps for korea and japan for excusing minors doing heinous crimes from bullying to literal murder and also never taking sexual assault cases seriously. amazing work as always 👏👏👏
hearing how his mother comforted him for hours, even after death absolutely shattered my heart. to a mother, no matter how old their kids get, they will always be their babies. i cant imagine the thoughts that were going through her head or the pain she was feeling.
Around 00:11:20: Yes, Stephanie! Rubbing a wound or blowing on it does actually help. Our somatosensory nerves are divided up into 4 categories, based on diameter of the nerve and types of receptors. Pain nerves with nociceptors are smaller than touch sensory nerves, so in a way, it distracts your brain from the pain. Even blowing on it helps, although temperature sensing nerves are smaller than pain nerves.
I knew Korean laws were seriously effed up and misogynistic when they get more jail time for using drugs than sexually assaulting women. But this really just strengthens that cycle because a new generation is allowed to commit these crimes with zero remorse. Seems like the previous generation, the parents, don’t care either. This is so sad.
@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii2458 theres literally an entire wikipedia page about gender inequalities in south korea. imagine getting so incorrectly upset about widely known info whilst trying to claim the other person is being emotional 😂
@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii2458 definitely did not say that lol. as someone who has completed a degree i am well aware that Wikipedia can't be used to cite academic research. however we would be lying if we said people didn't use it as a modern day encyclopedia to find things out about world. be real
“First’s time a mistake second is a choice.” They did it multiple times and they deserved to be punish. Like what is going is through their minds is disgustingly disturbing.
I thought I was already desensitized from watching too much true crimes but the mom comforting her child and the friend blaming herself made me ugly cry. What a cruel world we live in.
As a 15 yr old O my lord, When I was 13 I wasn’t doing any of this or thinking about it. They know what they did and don’t care. I literally cried when I heard how the mom felt.
When i was 13 I watch Mr. Bean and still play toys and stuff but I'm aware that doing these things are bad. When you are 13, they think you know nothing. They should be held accountable because they are aware. When you are 13 or even younger than 13, you know what's bad or good, you know what's ethical and unethical. AND the fact that they also had crime records even before the m*rder says a lot about their awareness, they just don't care. It's infuriating that they were arrested only to be released an hour or two or three later. I also think that the parents are also at fault for letting their kids go on this life path. Like what tf are they doing?
@@wonyoung_it_girli they were trying to say "i dont necessarily think its the 13 yr olds faults, but yes i do think the 13 yr olds deserve to go to prison, but i think its the (parents?) faults" it made me lose some braincells reading it but i kind of made out what they said
@laylaahmed5508 I don't think it's the 13 Yr old fault I do think its they deserve to go to prison but I think it's the parents fault ( not my opinion)
As a 13 y/o this blows my mind. The kids at my school may underage smoke but it’s very rare. Others get piercings but this- This is disgusting utterly disgusting. My take on this is that they should be arrested as soon as they turn 14 and the parents should help pay for the funeral and help support the victims mom. Bizarre, my biggest condolences to the victim and his family. I hate how they are so monotone and show no remorse or guilt, disgusting. Have a good day and be safe. ❤ Update: I have seen people talk about changing the Korean law and I agree, if children do adult crimes then children should get adult punishments and the law in Korea is showing that these children have no respect and know that it doesn’t matter. Yet we know that we can’t change the law with only one comment, they know what they’re doing. They know what they’re doing, Justice.
your grammar is amazing for a 13 y/o! and yes i totally agree with you, the parents of the m*rderers should pay for the funeral, or at least 75% of it.

El-Elyon (Most High), Ahura Mazda "Wise Lord" (Persia) Zoroastrianism, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Ancient China Temple of Heaven (Shang-Di), Xiongnu Mongols (Tengri), (Egypt) Ancient of Days, all prime cultures prove the only first religion and priesthood of humanity the Melchizedek Priesthood Jesus Christ (completed) fulfilled forever as the living High Priest of the Promised Virgin Birth Covenant: Christianity is the fulfilled Melchizedek Priesthood through Jesus Christ the only promised savior redeemer who fulfilled the law and prophets and his Orthodox Church (All Holy Trinity Church Branches of correct doctrine is counted as Orthodox) is the only Functioning prophetic Holy Spirit Lead Priesthood of the 12 Tribes of Israel. Children, Free Will, & The Tower of Babel cultural language divide delays Jesus Christ's reign as when he claims throne he is immediately responsible for judging all both living and dead. All ancients knew of the promised resurrection of the Dead (Reincarnation), virgin birth, and Judgement Day of the Righteous and Wicked souls; To be perfect is to be complete according to set standard, mathematical law of absolutes good vs evil. The true opposite of love is unholy selfishness, the epitome of pride is self-righteousness (unmerited value/unlawfully agreed). People confuse pride with its righteous opposite which is Glory/Honor all ancients sought. Good is that of Truth/Holy Lawful Order, & Justice. Evil is that of Lies, unlawful disorder, chaos.

Jesus Christ is the Law and the Test of Faith & Heart concerning righteousness and ritual purity (Ritual Purification) "Sanctification" that which is Holy; whereby Jesus Christ (The Lamb of God) the word of God in the flesh is the standard of measure how a person is judged as good or evil based on their choice to receive God's payment blood covering sacrifice through Jesus Christ's Perfect Lawful Life.

As with the Israelites the Living God sent Holy Angels to cultures such as the Native Americans giving them a form of the Gift of Tongues (prayer language whereby the Blood of Jesus Christ by word law promise of God virgin birth covenant was invoked for healing etc. binding and sealing evil spirits). Many Native Americans are mixed with Israelite Tribes of Asher, Gad, and Nephtali. There were pure hearted people and evil "witch" magicians and false prophets using evil spirits (all ghosts are demons unlawful spirit creatures from Fallen Angels/humans having unnatural sex with animals) among the Native Americans as with all groups that were sent the law and real prophets of God. Zoroastrianism is named after Zarathustra/Zoroaster a Prophet of the Living God whereby that "religion" is actually fully tied too thus derived from the Melchizedek Covenant.

in my country macedonia, my mom told me and my brother a story of a 13 and 10 year old recording and raping an 8 year old boy and then sending the video to their friends. how evil is this world? no matter what age u are you can be cruel, disgusting, manipulative, and just humiliating.
damn talk about macedonia (i was born there and lived for 15 years) ... the crimes there are almost crazy. how teenagers get away with murder,rape and a lot more disgusting stuff. recently it occurred that in Banja a guy was burned alive beat up and thrown in the water by a 17 y/o girl and 18 y/o guy ... disgusting
i remember in russia here was a similar case (tbf, multiple with victims of different ages) and afaik most of them went on unpunished i hope both our countries will get better
something similar happened on my country kosovo too. 2 eight graders rap3d a six year old girl and the principle said that they were just playing it didn't mean anything! Truly disgusting and horrible.
I listen to so much true crime that it really takes a lot to get me emotional, but that part about the mom saying "i won't leave until his eyes are closed" hit me so hard. Got me tearing up at the office
This is so random but I honestly love that she doesn’t play random scary music while she tells these stories. I’m a maintenance worker and you work alone at night in buildings and I can never listen to podcast or UA-cam channels that talk about certain things without them playing scary music in the background and freaking me out( I’m a big baby).
I always feel like scary music added to these kind of videos makes them feel more fictional and like the news is purely for our entertainment, if that makes sense? It's hard to explain
@@honeymelonade I totally get what you mean! It can add so much for the video but honestly when I’m at work by myself I rather have no music just cause I get scared easily. I also think because these cases are real it’s possible she doesn’t add scary over the top music out of respect for those she’s talking about?
South Korea seriously needs to change their laws. These criminals cant keep getting away unpunished just cuz theyre minors. No wonder bullying is so extreme in Korea. None of the bullies get any consequences
Hearing those parents' responses makes it abundantly clear why their children turned out to be such criminal assholes.
It always starts at home
fr like what kind of bloodline did they have
Some people should never be allowed to have kids...
Their literally the reason why some people say not every person should be a parent
Moral of this WHOLE STORY *use protection* 👍
I'm a believer in the lovely phrase "If you want to commit adult crimes and make adult choices, then you must face adult consequences." (in most cases)
exactly
i agree with this
me too
me too
I agree with this and i think it should be a worse consenquen because of them not even being sorry for the mother and not even caring for anyone
This law should not apply to violent crimes. Stealing some nail polish from a store is one thing, but this is full on criminal
You'd think there'd be a limit for getting out of jail. Sure they're young and the law is well intented but when you commit like 4 felonies in a single month there should be an actual consequence.
@@katrinascarlet5637Honestly though.
couldnt agree more
Even adults seem to get away or get less punishment than deserved what do you expect to happen with kids when it's no different with adults
Imagine a kid full on committing arson and burn a building killing up to 100 people and then see whether they consider letting them go or not 🤷♂️
Hearing you talk about what Kun was saying to his mom when he got his ID had me tearing up. He sounded like such a beautiful soul, I hope he is resting peacefully. May karma unleash her fury on his killers.
I was bawling 😭😭😭
Me too girl😭@@judeisthatdude
People need to keep in mind that prison isn't just a punishment. It's a way to keep dangerous people away from others. If these kids were properly dealt with, this wouldn't have happened.
agreed
Korean police force only functions properly for people with high profiles. The public can't do anything since the government doesn't give af they will just issue a public apology and call it a day.
in my country, the netherlands, like a lot of other european countrys prison is treated more like a mental rehabilitation process. especially for minors. it seems to be working tho. the chances of people committing crime in europe after they go to prison is way lower then in the us for example.
however i do agree some people are beyond help but in most cases theyre not.
crime with children is still a problem here too tho because we have similar laws where teenagers are treated diffrent then adults and theyre doing crazy things like walking around with knifes etc
Exactly!!
@@JustMe-vs1kj yes I agree that prison should be more like mental rehabilitation rather then like a punishment but the key is that they need to be far away from society until they get better.

And the fact that they have no shame and guilt.
I’m tired of people treating children as if they are stupid and don’t know better. If a 2 year old can comprehend hitting someone isn’t okay, 5, 10, 13 knows what’s wrong. No matter age actions has consequences
I don't know any 2-year-old who knows it's not okay to hit someone unless it was taught to them, but nevertheless, I don't agree with the teens killing someone either

My mom has lung cancer and this year she was taking a walk and a car speeding down the road HIT HER and left her. In the dead of winter in Connecticut. She broke every bone in her body. Had to get new hips, etc. they hit her and left her for dead. So she had to be in hospice with Covid and cancer and not able to move for over a year. She lost her job. Her apartment. The person was NEVER CAUGHT or people. The police didn’t even try to look. She has to leave hospice with no place to go and still with cancer and broken bones.
She was so excited. She had just gotten a job after doing chemo for so long. Her cancer had just stopped growing.
So there are people out there who left a woman with cancer for dead in the middle of the road in winter and the police did nothing.
I am so angry and stressed. I just sold my house so I can’t even take my mom in. She lost the job and her ability to do anything on her own after cancer had taken so much with her and she still has to do chemo.
This really hits home.
I’m so sorry for you and your mother. Absolutely horrible of the criminal who did this to her and the police. I’m sending good thoughts for both of you, I hope she can still find her strength despite it all
That's heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. Sending love and prayers for you both.
Prayers for you mother and that God will handle the person that created this turmoil for yall🙏
Im so sorry I hope everything goes well
@@josefinxu thank you. It's just so sad how cold the world is. I once found an old man in the middle of the road in winter drunk who cracked his head open and stayed with him until
The ambulance came and held his hand. I just can't believe how cold people can be to see something. And do nothing. And the police must be overwhelmed since it's low priority.
These kids are not just criminals in the making, they already are! They are not "clueless" they *know* what they are doing. They need to be hold accountable.
right? if they said that they passed the red lights because they saw a police car, it means they knew exactly what they were committing!
@@melqnyz They wouldn't survive a DAY in America. Korea needs to seriously change this law.
@@yourlocalgrande fr.. this is such a sad story to hear and the injustice
My heart DROPPED when I saw the motorcycle. My friend was walking home from a high school reunion when this happened, she's said she can NEVER look at motorcycles the same, all she can think about is the crushed up metal and the body just inches away
😮😢
thes isjast
she was there?😢
side note: even the ppl there and the ppl seeing this online are feeling like this while the ppl who actually caused it arent feeling anything. are they even real ppl?
I feel so bad for her, your friend must be traumatised.
@@greeniscoollol she's been to therapy sessions and she currently lives with me because she's scared of having nightmares of that night again
I think we just found out why "bullying" is such a massive problem. Kids are out here torturing people and the law is encouraging it.
Honestly the stories of bullying that ive heard from Korea and Japan are horrible, litterally rªpe, m*urder, torture, wth is wrong in those places, unbelievable.
@@AnneaWasHere apparently they don't believe in punishing children
Ignore that comment I didn't mean to type that
I didn't understand why "bullying " was such a problem in korea. But, I guess we all know why from just this one case. The LAW should be protecting victims rather than the perpetrators - not the other way around. This disgusts me and knowing this angers me. I honestly teared up at one moment because it was so heartbreaking. I've NEVER done that whilst hearing of a case.
Even hearing about the 800 fee angered me. Sure it prevents rental companies from providing vehicles to minors to some degree, but that does not punish the children in any way. It just makes it inconvenient to them. Of course rental companies should be held accountable, however, the law is still protecting the children. There is NOTHING put in place to punish them.
@@kimmyjimmyfics9864 That's not it. In our country, children are criminally responsible from the age of fifteen, even for murder, and bullying is not that bad here, and in the last thirty years there have been two cases where a fourteen-year-old killed someone.
A few days ago a korean middle schooler killed her friend and called the Police after admitting to the crime. The first question she asked them was if it's true she'd be treated as a minor
That's wild
What the f
Kids these days are not kids...some are straight up demons...i don't know how or why....but i saw them irl...still its really hard to take in😢
That’s crazy
Any normal person could see that these stupid laws are just condoning murder and these so-called "minors" know what they are doing very well.
I think the saddest part about this whole thing is, if you’re a murdered by a minor in Korea, you won’t gain any sort of justice. My heart goes out to the victims family who have to live in a constant reminder that her sons killers are still at large.
Not only in Korea though, probably in a lot of places. At least in Europe. There have been arguably even more violent murders and nothing and nobody can really touch these kids.
@@gogumadalpaengi well europe is not one place with one law. Many countries have different age limits for children in criminal justice system. Varies between 12-16 if im correct.
@@wdvnge I know, I live in Europe. What I meant is that it's not only an issue in Korea and Japan. These laws are outdated everywhere and should be revised. A 14 year old today isn't even comparable to a 14 year old from twenty years ago, let alone to a teen at the time when these laws were made.
@@gogumadalpaengi yeah your absolutely right. Its unfortunate but in this world it should be lower
@@gogumadalpaengiI’ve seen reasons to know that it’s way worse in Korea
When kids start saying "I can do what I want, because I won't get prosecuted anyway". You know this has to change.

Can we find a way to give to his mom 😢 or even if I can a little something. Money will never fix him being gone but it's what he was doing working to help his mom
18:15 most UA-camrs would end the video here, but the fact that Stephanie and whoever else works on these videos puts so much effort and research to get the most details and tell the story so incredibly thoroughly leaving us with NO questions is incredibly admirable 😊
They certainly do a wonderful job giving the victims a voice.
I literally started sobbing when she said that Kun told his mom he would take care of her and that he would be her guardian 😭😭 Also the blatant disrespect and lack of empathy the murderers showed was disgusting. I psychically could not. I had to pause several time watching this due to pure disgust, hatred, and sadness for the immeasurable amount of loss Kun’s mother must feel.
They are psychopaths, they have no feelings, they are monsters among us.

It just so sad knowing that a hardworking 18 yr old is killed by some nasty 13 yr olds .
If only it were possible to trade them for the young man's life
This video shook me up bad
Some worthless 13 year olds. That victim’s life is more valuable than all of their’s PUT TOGETHER
I think about that after every true crime episode. It’s some garbage person who kills someone who would’ve benefited the world.
@@TecTitan Really...
@@TecTitan Honestly, their lives combined are still worth way less than the 18 year old's so it wouldn't even be a fair trade.... That's the worst part...
as a 13 year old myself , even when we are as young as 10 years old kids know whats wrong and whats right we are not clueless or that immature , the fact that they ran away shows they exactly knew what they were doing as a minor myself if someone commits a crime that concerns a life punish them severely, minor or not. i can vouch that us minors are not clueless its clear that they are sick in the mind.
the punishment maybe should be a little different for a 13 year old versus an adult, but they should still get punishment
@@kelseylandon1224little different?? how so?? i think that minors or adults should be punished the same, i mean they all commited crimes so they get what they deserve, especially if they know what they are doing.
@@beingamultifanisnotacrime2508If they got punished the same as adults in my country, they would get whipped to death by accident and istg one whip will literally rip out your skin
@@shegottaeat good, its like and eye for an eye except its more like a life for a life
@@5T4RL1GHT I feel like the severe pain with it is just unnecessary and taking a life for a life doesn't make you any better. They should redeem themselves instead of letting the rest of their lives go to waste and benefit the world
Why aren't the parents held responsible for their crimes. If they are below the age of accountability, then their parents should be responsible for their children's actions
Exactly..the parents should be the one accountable ..since they are all tolerating such actions..it's really disturbing..
Just saw this after posting my 2 cents.
No
...Because they didn't do the crime? Come on.
@@TUBESTEAKNIG But they're raising their kids with no discipline and are therefore enabling this kind of behaviour. This wasn't a one-off accident, this kind of criminal behaviour has been a reoccurring theme with these kids. The parents should AT LEAST be fined for their kids actions every time they've broken a law.
Poor baby! He just turned 18, he didn’t even get to live and achieve his dreams. These 13year olds needs to be punished properly. Even if they were just 13 their actions shouldn’t be overlooked, they choose to do this knowing damn well they were in the wrong. They took an innocent person life, absolutely no excuse. Hardest thing for a parent is when they watched their kids die first. I hope that poor boy rest easy 🕊️
As a survivor myself I haven't done much with my second chance at life and in a way I want to start working harder not just for me but for him and one day I hope to find his mom. Money will never fix it but it's what he was working for to help his mom. He didn't even get to react just like that he was gone and those demons are still alive. It's not fair. I hope to help his mom something he saw as his responsibility because it was out of love. May he rest in peace
cant believe a child killed somebody disgusting
i hope he finally gets rest in the afterlife where he wont have to worry abt working himself to skin and bones anymore
they even know what they did they don’t feel any guilt!!
In Wisconsin, 12 year olds tried to kill their friend and they both got tried as adults. I don’t understand how places like Korea and Japan can look at the crimes kids do and NOT make them accountable in the way they should
Yeah I remember that case, and the their victim luckily survived but I think they should still do life in prison. They left her for dead.
@@heylove582 I have to wonder if Korea has had a similar situation. We’ve heard of girls of those Ages doing unspeakable things. I would not be surprised if it did happen
@@michellecrocker2485 right :( it’s so sad that they get to get away with it…
oh yeahh ur talking about the slenderman stabbing, i watched the entire 2 hour interrogation video. its really messed up but atleast bella survived
Is that the slender man stabbing case?
If the Korean law cannot punish these kids I just hope society would never forget their names and echo them throughout so that no one would actually let them into the workforce.
i heard somewhere i can’t remember that if a minor commits a crime, the justice will wait till they get to the right age. isn’t it the same to the Korean law?
Korea is a pretty strict country, they will definitely get what they deserve when they're adults.
@@lyzfarthat’s just what I thought what they should do.. but not sure if it is.
I watched a kdrama „Juvenile Justice“ it’s about a judge who hates juvenile criminals. It was really good (not the punishments tho) but not sure if it’s 100% reality, but like the videos i saw till now it seems so.
@@ikramrafi6481obviously not a strict country if kids are going around literally torturing other kids for the fun of it, Korean parents and elders are absolute failures.
this is just one case out of 28.000 cases in just 2 years. there are wayyy more teenagers whose names never even heard of by public
Something similar recently happend in Germany.
Two Girls met up with their friend, Luise. After they were done, had said goodbye and Luise was walking back home though a forest, her two friends followed her and stabbed her with a knife over 70 times. She was probably still breathing when they left her body in the woods.
This happend earlier this year. One of the girls was about to turn 14 in a few days, which in Germany is also the age where you can get legally punished. So these two girls knew that they had to commit this crime before they turned 14. This sparked a huge discussion here as well. As far as I know the two perpetrators are doing well and are free. They got protected by the government so their families are living as happily as ever.
Even if they’re kids they should still be held accountable for their actions
ikr, theyre old enough to know what their doing is wrong and evil yet they still did it they need to face the consequences
No matter your age, you have a brain, you should know BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. These laws are disgusting and unfair. I hate this world.
Petition for the children to pay for his funeral
Literally toddlers are getting beat to the floor by their parents at home for a simple misdemeanor and their parents are most of the time not punished at all so why is it sooooo wrong to make these teenagers pay for taking a life?????

A friend once convinced me to steal make up from a store. The mall guards caught us and called the police. The police gave me a choice, call your parents yourself or we will. So I did. I called mom out of a police car, crying I stole something and am in a police car.
She didn't yell at me. She didn't ground me. She didn't "punish" me. Instead, she called the store, asked them to put the make up I tried to steal aside and made me save from my weekly money (equivalent to like maybe 1 dollar) till I had enough to go up the store humiliated to ask "umm, I'm here to pay for the stuff I tried to steal" I was 12. I NEVER stole again.
did you break off your friendship with your friend?
@@Eldaiea_Shorts Not right after that, but I did when she stole again alone and told the police she was me. They called my mom, luckily I was home
@@nene2969 ah good thing you dont still continue being friends with her
Kudos to your mother! 👏👏👏 And thank you for learning your lesson.
I have a similar story. I stole the key to a diary at Barnes and Nobles, and I think I ended up telling on myself because I was so scared of getting caught by my mom. Well, my mom took me up to Barnes and Nobles and made me talk to security and apologize for stealing. Never touched a single thing again. 😂
i feel ashamed wanting to become a lawyer because hearing cases like this makes me lose hope in "justice" if it even exists
That’s the same thing I have grappled with too. But you have to remember that there are people who need attorneys because the system is working against them. So even if someone is guilty. You have to be there to make sure their punishment fits the crime. You also need to be the one there to make sure innocent people don’t go to prison. That’s a very important job that you shouldn’t feel bad about. As long as you keep your morals & you don’t lose sight of your compassion & empathy for others. You’ll be a great lawyer.
This is not as easy as you think.A lawyer does not controls everything.You have to be enough powerful to take justice in your hands.I hope you will become that one day.
"justice" stand for the idea not reality and not all the laws are perfect unfortunatly , for me your job is essential tho you dont have to be ashame for that , the fact that it mather for you and other may make the things changes in the futur hopfully (atleast when money or powerfull people are not involve in the changes require).
Same, not a lawyer but still working in prison sector, it makes you lose so much hope
Same, but just as being a human being.
In Poland we have a really similar case where a 13 year old boy killed his girlfriend who was pregnant because he didn't want to have a baby. And he killed her ONE DAY before his 14 birthday when he would face a more serious consequences
this infuriates me
Laws protecting minors SHOULD NOT include felonies
And murder

I support reduced sentences for minors but not no punishment--especially in a case like this
@@BOOcketMan yea I kinda..am dumb sorry
In the UK the criminal age of responsibility is 10 years old. If a 10 year old knows right from wrong why would 13 year olds not
They’re not taught right from wrong.
@@lystheshaman then that's on their parents, they failed the child and should also be punished. at the same time since this kid doesn't know right from wrong he is dangerous to society so its just common sense not to let this kid out to do more harm. i don't know what is the right thing to here but you definitely cant just let the kid out into society like nothing ever happened

Eight middle school students from 목일중학교 stole a car and drove to Daejeon in the middle of the night. At some point they hit a food delivery driver on a motorcycle and were pursued by police. The motorcyclist, a university student in his twenties, ended up succumbing to his wounds.
Since none of the students are over 14, they cannot be punished under Korean law. Originally no one knew who the students were, but the victim’s girlfriend was able to track down their social media accounts and got in touch with their friends who shared their photographs and KakaoTalk conversations with her.
Apparently these students are notorious in their neighborhood for breaking into stores at night, stealing from convenience stores, and taking pictures of themselves smoking outside of police stations.
The victim’s girlfriend has started a petition to change the law regarding juvenile delinquency. It already has over 500,000 signatures.
That’s great! Glad their is a petition. Rid this world of evil.
I hope they get the law changed.
Are you able to share the petition so we here can sign it too
Hoping everyone would be actively in support to Kun's mother and girlfriend ❤
@@dodioxoopey8843 maybe we can try to google it
The moment that the delivery driver's mom had with her son at the hospital was absolutely heartbreaking... the fact that she told him it's okay... and she blew on his wounds and tried to put him to rest one last time. I can't imagine the pain...
This tore me up 😢 I watch a lot of these and that tore me to pieces. I cannot imagine that pain..telling your baby it’s okay knowing it’s never going to be okay
😢😢😢❤
That part wrecked me, my grandma whom I grew up with for majority of my childhood recently passed away peacefully and we were devastated even though we were it was coming and she didn’t suffer during her passing. So I can’t imagine my own child whom you never expect to pass before you, in the horrible state he was in… how do you ever recover from that.
@@xoxoAL1I always think about this, especially with someone so young. I lost my dad at 18, we’re a strong multigenerational family and I was terrified to see how my grandmother would cope: He was openly her favorite and her baby. The only relief, she tells us, is that he left her three granddaughters who immediately began to take care of her like he did.
I don’t want to even imagine what the grief would be like if we didn’t exist and if my dad had been 18 and not 55. Crushing.
The names and faces for these kids should be disclosed to the public. With 21 crimes under 14 years old, they are clearly criminals in the making.
Not even in the making. They're like full on fully made products (defective) and are out in the market for the pain of innocent people who had the misfortune to come across them.
in the making? they are not only thieves but already MURDERED someone. they are not just criminals but killers.
Name of these criminals please I wanna know more
they already are criminals
@@yubirashi search in google you will see them a selfie in police station
I believe it was last year or so. In a town near me, two 12 year old girls stabbed their classmate to death and left her to bleed out in the woods. No, they weren´t punished and the two familys moved away. This also sparked a heated debate about the age of "Strafmündigkeit", when can you be legaly held responsible for your actions.
As someone who works with children, this is very hard to answer, and I believe a case by case approach would maybe work. Since in that age, their emotional developement is so different.
Still, to commit hard crimes like SA, murder and general assault, you have to be a certain type of person to step over that treshold of violence. That shouldn´t be ignored, no matter the age of the culprit.
I was also going to say it's quite similar in Germany. In general I believe in the ability to correct a child's or teenager's path and their own ability to develop but in extreme cases it does leave you questioning the system...
@@suann9790 Yeah. It's also important for the victims that there is at least the semblance of justice. Accidents happen of course, but deliberatly harming someone and then getting off scott free because of your age, does leave a bad taste in my mouth. One can only hope that the horror about what they did will come when they are older, and will make them better people...
Ich kann mich an den schrecklichen Fall erinnern und bin der Meinung, dass die Strafmündigkeit unbedingt nach unten gesetzt werden muss. Dieses "mir kann nichts passieren, weil ich noch keine 14 bin" bringt eine gefährliche Sicherheit für Kinder/Jugendliche mit sich. Wir haben so jetzt schon ein größeres Problem mit Kindern, die aufgrund von den ständigen Lockdowns schlecht bis gar nicht sozialisiert wurden, so dass wir eingreifen müssen.
Dont parents get the legal punishment for the crimes that their children did in Germany.
@@Andre-c6z There is this „Eltern haften für ihre Kinder“ thing, which basically means parents are liable for their children, but I think it only really applies to property damage and the like. But don’t quote me on that, I‘m not a lawyer.
Hm, just looked it up. Nope, it’s not a legal thing, just a sign on construction sites and what not. Parents are only liable when they did a „Aufsichtspflichtverletzung“. A breach of supervisor duty. But judges take the autonomy of a child also into account. Again, I‘m not a legal expert…
Well I am living in Korea Suji. A high school student on a scooter crashed into my dog while I was trying to cross the street last year. Luckily there were witnesses and cameras. When the police came, we went to testify together. that child's mother tried to use violence against me and made racist statements. I was not going to complain at first and I was going to tell him to be more careful next time, but I applied to the court in the face of the psychological and physical violence they put to me. the scooter hit me too, but my dog suffered the most damage. I requested a translator even though I know advanced Korean, but they made me wait for months. The boy's father offered me money first, but I refused, then threatened to kill me. People in court were more interested in why I lived in Korea than the accident. I work and I pay taxes for this country! no one can make racist remarks to me in a place where I legally reside. though the vast majority of korea is racist and ignorant 😏😅 The court was canceled because there was no 'concrete evidence'. I spent over $6,000 on my dog's surgery and my own treatment, and no one even apologized to me in return… I applied again for a second court with camera records and eyewitness statements. I hope that spoiled little punk gets the justice he deserves this time.
Living in Korea is not like what we see on the Kdrama. In reality people's here in korea are judgemental and racist. I'm half korean and half Australian, people's still considered me as outsiders. Most people here are really arrogant, they always looking down on other people's mostly people from other asian countries especially the South East Asia countries.
I live in Japan and was a victim, I was injured to the point i have to wear a sling in my dominant arm for a month, tried to find justice, nothing happened after 3 years, i think they didn’t even process it after I gave my statement and all the proofs, i have to pay for all my medical bills and the SOAB is free
@@jacqychan I was born and lived in Japan until I was 5 years old. My parents moved to Canada for a better life because they realized how fucked up our society was there. Of course everywhere has its bad sides.. but it's VERY better.
These stories are all so infuriating. I know its bad to wish for something bad to happen to someone but people like this, people like the 8 kids mentioned in the video, with the way they acted, it made me feel like I hope there is someone out there outside the law who can do something horrible to this people because they deserve it.
If you can, keep us updated, I wanna know if you get justice!
So sad that so many young people out there doing things like this! Sometimes the punishment for minors is not good enough
No matter their age, they should be held accountable for what they've done!!!
I think it is all the time not just sometime. The law also doesn't protect women much especially if the rape case was done by a drunk person.
@@siewcindy depends on the crime like rape, murder yess I agree
i feel like the law is just there to protect those criminals and murderers and not the actual victims. like why do we need to think about their “bright future” when they were the ones that had taken the bright future from someone innocent….
In my experience of middle school it contains the biggest sociopaths Ive ever seen. Just complete lack of understanding mix with lack of caring just leads kids to do the most fcked up things. By high school end they start having a goal of getting into uni but before that it's a bunch of kids stuck bored influencing each other and trying to outdo each other.
Someone should be held accountable!
A 13 year old is old enough to be held accountable. But if it's a child that is too young to be held accountable, then it's parents should be held accountable; especially if that child has committed multiple offenses in the past.
They clearly have a serious problem just letting kids get away with crimes
to the point some of them are clearly aware they won't be held legally responsible in anyway
Exactly!! Finally a comment talking about this.

I saw a documentary on gangs in Japan that purposely recruit young kids because even if they kill, their punishment would be very minimal.

PSA FOR THOSE VISITING SOUTH KOREA:
In case you are visiting or plan to move there, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't get involved or try to be brave in a fight or help someone who is being attacked!
I know this is infuriating for all the people watching, I know you're wondering where the adults are and why nobody is helping! AS MUCH AS IT'S COMMON SENSE FOR YOU TO DO SO, Korean laws are not kind to foreigners in this way. Cultural difference and language barrier can get you in serious trouble, especially if you do not have Korean friends. If you don't have anyone to defend you, they will most likely accuse you of being the attacker. As much as the country is said to be safe, there are many lacking laws and protection, especially for foreigners!
Don't take this as me hating South Korea. I love the country and the culture, it's beautiful and challenging. But like any other country, you have to take the good with the bad.
So please, be mindful and responsible of all the things you decide to do there.
This is good advice
Thank you
I wanna add that as much as people love saying the crime rate in South Korea is low and statistics show that too, the only reason it's low is because of how underreported crimes especially against women and foreigners are. Please be careful when travelling and take advice from people that lived in SK
Nah don't worry, I already hate the people, country and their ridiculous horrendous laws after watching this video. Your comment is only an add on to my already existing dislike towards them. Such hypocrites they are. Ewww, it sounds so so soooooo scary to live there. They are so pretentious and that's so disgusting and scary to me. Glad I wasn't born into that evil society.
Living in SK for years and your advice is 100% real. I would add that never expect an apology for being pushed in public (example: subway), even if you get punched nobody will apologize to you.
Also 3rd video I've watched of yours and for the 3rd time got teary eyed. You have a gift for storytelling. Even tho the topics are very dark and sometimes horrible, you tell it in a very elegant yet educational way and I commend you for it. 🙇🏼🙇🏼
If you commit an adult crime, you get punished as an adult. Plain and simple.
Yes
I agree with this. Because by not trialing these teenagers properly and punishing them, these kinds of things will keep happening.
Disagree, depends on tons of other factors and nuances. But you certainly don’t get to get off Scott free like these “children” do
When she talked about his mom being the great mom she is, I thought to myself as a new mom "that could be my son". I cried. This hit different, I hope his family is healing and I wish them all a wonderful life.
This discussion is also happening in Germany at the moment where the laws are similar. A 12 and 13 year old school girl went to the woods with their 12 year old classmate Luise and stabbed her multiple times . They couldn’t be charged with anything and just moved with their family. Many people were shocked and their personal info and TikToks were leaked shortly after. This might be good case you could cover sometime.
I also wrote Stephanie about it, but sadly I think the information currently available is not enough to speak about it for a full episode..
I think in Germany, even if they don’t get sent to prison, they are not just send home. They get checked on, there is the possibility for psychological treatments and so on
That reads like an almost exact copycat of the Slenderman stabbing that happened in America.
Luise was being mobbed by the two girls and because she told her parents and teachers the two girls were so angry that they lured Luise to the woods and stabbed her ( i believe it was 74 times) and they still just go fee
This law is insane.
This is a case we’re they need to serve time. This is deliberate intent to harm another.
In America, 8 13 year old repeat offenders would already be in juvenile detention until 18, after the murder, the 13 year olds responsible will be held in juvenile detention until they are 17 or 18 to receive a murder charge. The point of the Law is Order, and you can't maintain Order without punishing people, of any age, for breaking the Law.
I started to cry when Stephanie said that the mom tried closing his eyes and that the mom tried many times to put him to rest, i know it was really losing her son. I hope she gets justice, may he rest in peace ♥

The only small reassurance in all fo this is seeing how much even their classmates turned on them. Real nice to hear all these other kids not only acknowledging how fucked up the whole thing was, but actively going out of their way to name and shame.
Agreed 👏👏👏
yea true. it only made me stop losing hope in humanity rlly
but seriously, imagine some of ur classmates or friends doing this kind of horrendous act...
gosh my head spins just thinking about it
let's all hope that all of us learn from this case and try to raise awareness to parents to raise and take care of their children well and not let them take part in delinquent activities and events and punish them for their wrongdoings
I just hope in the years to come Korean people won’t forget this happened and they will still be turning their backs on them. Life won’t be easy for them.
I can’t imagine being the mother and how infuriating it is to have these immature kids not caring at all. Worst part, the law does NOTHING about it. A sad well-behaved boy who had a life to live gets killed by boys and laughing about this situation. Gosh their parents should re-think how they raised these monsters who show no remorse
@@anunknownperson4018 Mhm!
@@anunknownperson4018 Its the parents fault. If you raise your child to "fit w a group" that is clearly doing sometime rlly bad...then you did something wrong.
@@aguacate8187 in some cases there can be times where a kid is raised in a strict but caring household AND STILL try to commit crimes. Why? Because they can. Maybe they want to taste freedom for once without being disturbed by their parents OR they could've just been influenced to do something as stupid as that
They're probably happy the law is the way it is and blame the motorcyclist.
Parents of bad kids are deluded sociopaths
@@anunknownperson4018 It is absolutely the parents fault but also not completely, of course kids will be themselves but these kids were the same as every other as a child, they are raised to be like this, it’s clear their parents don’t care and that’s why they are like this, no one corrected them when it was small and petty and now it’s really big and serious they still don’t care. My neighbours kids are racist and their parents don’t care, in fact they defend their kid even if they’re wrong and may even be racist themselves, it’s obviously not the same but both fail to teacher their kids out of ignorance or something, then this kids find these friends with encourage the same bad behaviour.

Adult crimes, judged as an adult, punished as an adult. Also, NEVER erase this from their records.
The sad thing is that it will be erased from their record and they will continue living their life like normal people.
I always found the bullying in kdramas a little too unrealistic as me being a kid that age would have been sent to the principal's office for saying a curse word... but now I know that those bullies in those Kdramas are just a small glimpse of the whole reality there and the reason why they always get away with it is because of this law
I felt so emotional for Kun's mother and friend like how devastated they are feeling and it just breaks my heart that he was just starting his adult life but never got to live it... RIP
I feel the same way!!
The problem is that no one gets an ass whoopin at home for doing dumb shit like this anymore. They have no fear of consequences.
@@Kunfucious577 ''ass wooping'' is still VERY common in literally ALL of Asia, including the west, south, central, east, south east. So no, this has nothing to do with not abusing your damn child. Its about laws being ridiculous, and completely dismissing EVERY crime someone commits just because of their age, and also making it 14 which is ridiculously high. Plenty of other countries are doing fine in Europe, with the crime age being set lower, and abusing your child not being normalized. If the law punishes them, its all good, the issue is the LAW. Y'all are the exact people Stephanie mentioned, the weird political people who are trying to blame it on ANYTHING other then the LAW, which helps nobody and nothing in reality other then fuel your own delusions.
Beating someone up or physically hitting them is a LITERAL crime when you're an adult, so there is 0 justification for doing it to your own child, y'all are ridiculously desperate to try and find ways to justify abuse. Not a single research has proven abusing a child helps at all, all of them show it causes trauma, and often sends them towards a wrong path. Most criminals also has abusive parents who DID beat them up, or emotionally abused them. So have fun creating more criminals with your backwards mindset.
Just like this dumb law in Korea is old fashioned and backwards, so is your ridiculous conclusion and idea.
I used to plan to visit S. Korea, but now the more I learn, the more I understand that it's the last destination on my list of places to visit.
Exactly. It's like I'm getting traumatized over and over with each new video. In all honesty I feel very stupid to have been so naive thinking it was a relatively peaceful place.
it’s so strange. the country has a low crime rate on paper but there are so many horrific crimes. it’s almost like the reason their laws are so lenient is to appear better and safer to be able to claim that they have a low crime rate.
Yeah stuff like this is why I've decided against visiting Japan if I ever had the chance to leave the states for a vacation

There's a growing number of Korean kids who go to school here in the Philippines. I thought it was just for English. Now I realize the parents are probably hoping to get them away from this kind of thing in Korean schools. This complete lack of culpability literally turns schools into death traps.
i have no idea, so that's how they skirt around to save their children, how can they get in though? some sort of student exchange, or they move there completely from the start?
@@NeroZeroes Student visas are easy to acquire. They either go to specialized schools teaching Korean students English for couple of years or so. Or in some cases, the family moves to the Philippines as long-term residents for like 5 to 10 years (some establish businesses here as well).
Traditionally though, the adult students study alone in the more prestigious universities like De La Salle or Santo Tomas, since those schools teach courses in English, are comparatively cheaper, and have a good reputation in Korea for the quality of the education. This phenomenon is older, and dates back to when Korea was poorer and the Philippines was richer (shortly after WW2).
Koreans still have the highest population of foreign students in the Philippines. Roughly twice the number of the next highest foreign student nationality.
Several famous TV/movie celebrities and UA-camrs in the Philippines are of full Korean descent, but grew up in the Philippines.
Sandara Park of the K-Pop band 2NE1 came from the same background. Which is why she can still speak Filipino and English, and she still comes back to the Philippines for vacations.
@@AngryKittens this is the first time i heard this filipino-S.korea connection wow
I've heard of this. I think I was searching if SK has any close relationships with any of the ASEAN countries and this popped up. On another note, if the parents are aware beforehand, they might have seen this kind of thing even from their era but probably smaller scale.
@NeroZeroes SK and NK have always sent their kids to Philippines and Switzerland for studying and better learning abilities.
My dad died instantly in an intersection car crash. The people who did it walked away with minor cuts and bruises. They never even acknowledged us, let alone apologized. There was zero contact of any sort and zero consequences. I don't know if that's how it usually goes in cases that are ruled 'no fault' but it definitely suspends a certain amount of closure for the victims family.
Im so sorry
were they criminally at fault?
My neighbor had a friend who was hit by a woman who couldn't see over the steering wheel, an elderly short woman and she hit someone, she died. The woman who hit her showed up at her funeral. And I couldn't imagine, I would have gave my all to the family. Cried on my knees. I wouldn't forgive myself.
I'm so sorry u had to go through that...
hope you and your family are doing well
If there is no human justice, God will give justice to your father. I am sure that those people have gone through horrible things or will go through horrible things because we all pay for the bad things we do and we pay triple.
i’m so glad i discovered this wonderful woman now while im young ❤️ she has taught me so much and humbled me and made me look at life in a different perspective. I thank her so much for her teaching and story telling
There was a similar case like this happened in Thailand.
An engineer who’d just graduated, got hit by 16 year old RICH boy who is (still is) a national badminton player (even though he should be removed from the team after this hideous incident)
The engineer’s parents are a farmer, working so hard to support the son and once the son got a job, he sent his 1/3 of salary back to his parents. The rest of the money was going to fund for his further study.
The 16 year old rich kid didn’t have license. He drove BMW past through red light hit on the motorbike who came from the other direction of 4 junctions while he had a right to go since it was his green light.
The father of this nasty kid said I DONT HAVE MONEY TO COMPENSATE TO YOU. And since then till now the nasty kid still got his bright future ahead with his career and have not paid for his crime.
Yea, just like the grandson of Redbull's founder. He got away with Hit and Run of a policeman and in Thailand, there is a time limit for crimes. So he fled to another country and is waiting out the time limit.
Wow…
@@donnie022 right. Thai police department reported to public that they have no idea where the redbull heir is… while BBC managed to knock on the door of his hideout in England.
The fact that these "TEENAGERS" more like miscreant a**holes, didn't even thought of apologizing and plus the parents who raised their kids like this are just so despicable.
I can’t listen anymore, to heart breaking. It makes me sick ! How can society let these criminals go ? Their parents should be arrested ! Such a sad story. To much of this is going on today . Terrible !
I think most infuriating thing is how senseless Kun’s murder was. If they already felt comfortable committing such blatant crimes because they knew they were gonna be released anyways then there was no reason for them to run the red light to get away from the cops to begin with.
This story brought me to tears, I was in a motorcycle accident with my boyfriend about 4 months ago I lived but he unfortunately passed away. His mom and I are so close now, prayers to his family ❤❤

Yes Juvenile Justice was an eye opener especially that first episode
Same!
Most of the cases in the series are based on true cases too right?
You should be wayyyy more scared of adults realistically
Yes! I watched that as well!!
Committing multiple crimes should at least make them minors not protected by their law. It is no longer a minor’s “mistake” if they commit crimes over and over again.
IKR I think there should be a limit to this law, three times sounds enough...and for murderers that are minors with no remorse, they deserve to spend the rest of the life as minors, in the juvie, getting their youth to be lost
@@panchoelgatodeshonrado1799 I'm just going to say, I love your pfp.

That law is beyond stupid. If they're going to make a law like that, don't pick age 14. I would protect ages under 12 but not 14. At the age of 12, many humans start having adult thoughts and those adult thoughts could very well be filled with criminal intent.
Actually in international age it is under 12 but I agree with you

I believe that if they did something serious (under the age of 14) like murder,robbery, assault, torture etc they deserve to be tried like an adult but if it’s small like stealing a nail polish,pickpocketing etc. Us minors know what we are doing, we deserve to be punished if we do something horribly wrong

I'm sure if I bymistake shove somebody, I'd be so ashamed of my behaviour, even though it's just by mistake. A murder is I'm sure ..the worst crime. How can they not be shaking?

There's a webtoon comic called "Get Schooled" that's set in Korea. The topic of crimes being done by children under the age of 14 is heavily represented there. I didn't think anyone actually did the crazy things that I saw in the webtoon. THIS??? Way worse. I hope this leads to the law being changed because this is horrific on so many levels. My heart goes out to Kun's mom. The only silver lining is that it happened so fast, hopefully he didn't feel much of anything. May Kun rest in peace.
pretty sure a lot of actual cases were referred by the author including this one in the storyline, it's scary to think about how all those things are actual real life events happening to other people.
@mewtsuki that's crazy, and definitely something I have to look into now! Thanks for the info.
I was thinking of that webtoon and i hope it actually comes true. They need to punish the kids of their crimes
I think the author even said that there were even worse cases that they couldn't put in the webtoon.
yess, i've read that episode and when i watch this i was like "damn it's really happening in real life"
This case is infuriating. I can't believe that the law just lets them be and it's so sad and mind blowing to think that it's not even gonna be on their records.
Edit: I agree that the parents should've been punished and held accountable for the crimes that their children did. Maybe then, they'll stop being so shameless.
It's the parents fault. The 13! year olds had committed crimes before and were gone from home for over 24 hours! The second my kid committed ANY crime I'm pulling them out of that school, getting them away from the trouble maker friends and they are being homeschooled or transferred far away. Idc I'll move cities if I have to. I can't imagine not caring my 13 year old is out all night. The parents are at fault. 13 year olds don't become so heartless out of nowhere. The parents failed them.
@@WhitneyDahlin that, too. I agree, because the parents tolerate their kids' behaviour, they should've nipped them in the bud.
@@WhitneyDahlin honestly, I actually don't disagree with that. The parents really should be just as held accountable as their evil spawns!
@@AlexKaneROTN yeah I completely agree with you! If they're going to refuse to charge children the parents need to be charged. Maybe then the parents would take their childrens behavior more seriously if they were going to have to answer for every crime their child commits
It'll be on their records alright. Thanks to netizens who are doing a serious public service for the rest of us, all of those boys and their families have been doxxed publicly. Their names are forever attached to this incident as a result.
They won't ever be able to move on even if they never get actual punishment. I think even though that should be a given, it is kind of justice in this case. They won't be able to get employment at a good job anywhere, those kids won't be able to go to a good school and get good education, they and their families will be outcast from the rest of society.
When these kids mature a little in a few years time maybe they'll realise that laughing about it on social media wasn't a smart decision after all. Their quality of life will be worse than that of prisoners and they'll be left wishing the courts had thrown them into damp prison cells.
I used to live in a super suburban area in korea and whenever I walked by a group of teenagers I would be so afraid I’d walk on the opposite side of the street if I could. They’d give off a dangerous vibe so I’d try not to make eye contact and just try to avoid getting their attention.
How old were you and how old were they? Were they all male or a mixed group? I never feel threatened when I am in Korea. Only time I vaguely felt my safety was at risk was at a club, when some drunk thug wannabes wanted me to apologize for bumping into them accidently.
@@JohnLeon203 I was like 28 and they were definitely in high school though I’m not sure specifically how old they were. I’m a short woman so I think I felt more vulnerable as well. And it didn’t help that they would be cussing super loud and smoking while grouped together. Most of the time they were guys but sometimes mixed. Definitely felt like I had to be careful in clubs too, though for me it was foreign men that would get too handsy vs Korean guys would ignore me (I don’t fit the Korean beauty stereotype lol)

“As mundane as crocheting” I instantly put down the crochet project I’m currently working on like you’re in my walls 😂
These kids are a threat to society. If they aren't punished, you can expect mass murderers in the very near future. Very scary! My deepest sympathies go to the poor victim's family. My heart breaks for them. :(
It's already happening in the US and many countries in Eroupe where kids go to school and shoot up other children.
Not prosecuting them if they are under a certain age is just going to turn them into major criminals later in life
This is a really dumb law
They already are major criminals, they caused a man's death. Even if they never committed another crime, they should still be punished severely just for this one
Yep south korean law is dumb. Dumb.

Around 00:11:20: Yes, Stephanie! Rubbing a wound or blowing on it does actually help. Our somatosensory nerves are divided up into 4 categories, based on diameter of the nerve and types of receptors. Pain nerves with nociceptors are smaller than touch sensory nerves, so in a way, it distracts your brain from the pain. Even blowing on it helps, although temperature sensing nerves are smaller than pain nerves.
I knew Korean laws were seriously effed up and misogynistic when they get more jail time for using drugs than sexually assaulting women. But this really just strengthens that cycle because a new generation is allowed to commit these crimes with zero remorse. Seems like the previous generation, the parents, don’t care either. This is so sad.
Exactly, and theres other guys in that country saying that they're opressed like bro 💀...

“First’s time a mistake second is a choice.” They did it multiple times and they deserved to be punish. Like what is going is through their minds is disgustingly disturbing.

AND the fact that they also had crime records even before the m*rder says a lot about their awareness, they just don't care.

As a 13 y/o this blows my mind. The kids at my school may underage smoke but it’s very rare. Others get piercings but this- This is disgusting utterly disgusting. My take on this is that they should be arrested as soon as they turn 14 and the parents should help pay for the funeral and help support the victims mom. Bizarre, my biggest condolences to the victim and his family. I hate how they are so monotone and show no remorse or guilt, disgusting. Have a good day and be safe. ❤
Update: I have seen people talk about changing the Korean law and I agree, if children do adult crimes then children should get adult punishments and the law in Korea is showing that these children have no respect and know that it doesn’t matter. Yet we know that we can’t change the law with only one comment, they know what they’re doing. They know what they’re doing, Justice.
your grammar is amazing for a 13 y/o! and yes i totally agree with you, the parents of the m*rderers should pay for the funeral, or at least 75% of it.

El-Elyon (Most High), Ahura Mazda "Wise Lord" (Persia) Zoroastrianism, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Ancient China Temple of Heaven (Shang-Di), Xiongnu Mongols (Tengri), (Egypt) Ancient of Days, all prime cultures prove the only first religion and priesthood of humanity the Melchizedek Priesthood Jesus Christ (completed) fulfilled forever as the living High Priest of the Promised Virgin Birth Covenant: Christianity is the fulfilled Melchizedek Priesthood through Jesus Christ the only promised savior redeemer who fulfilled the law and prophets and his Orthodox Church (All Holy Trinity Church Branches of correct doctrine is counted as Orthodox) is the only Functioning prophetic Holy Spirit Lead Priesthood of the 12 Tribes of Israel. Children, Free Will, & The Tower of Babel cultural language divide delays Jesus Christ's reign as when he claims throne he is immediately responsible for judging all both living and dead. All ancients knew of the promised resurrection of the Dead (Reincarnation), virgin birth, and Judgement Day of the Righteous and Wicked souls; To be perfect is to be complete according to set standard, mathematical law of absolutes good vs evil. The true opposite of love is unholy selfishness, the epitome of pride is self-righteousness (unmerited value/unlawfully agreed).

(KJV Bible for English) (Romans Ch.10) (Eternal Life) If you confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that the creator (supreme spirit) Lord of Heaven hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Jesus Christ the only worthy Emperor King of Kings Alpha Omega of Humanity has the authority and dominion of the first man and is the Eldest of the Human Race (Virgin Birth promised by Creator before Cain & Able) and First Born resurrected unto Glorification from the Dead. Israel is the church body of Christ Family of God; all people of any nation of the world that choose Righteousness, Honor, & Glory are citizens of Israel the Most High Lord of Heaven's Kingdom. Peace = Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God born from a virgin with no corruption from Adam's Seed. Islam is Satans Counterfeit of The 12 Tribes of Israel. Most people in world (All Ethnicities) including Arabs that identify as muslims are actually Israelites by Blood (All saved by Blood of Messiah Jesus Christ counted as Israelites co-heirs by Blood of Jesus Christ). #Zoroastrianism proves virgin birth (3 Wise Men Kings from East).

As with the Israelites the Living God sent Holy Angels to cultures such as the Native Americans giving them a form of the Gift of Tongues (prayer language whereby the Blood of Jesus Christ by word law promise of God virgin birth covenant was invoked for healing etc. binding and sealing evil spirits). Many Native Americans are mixed with Israelite Tribes of Asher, Gad, and Nephtali. There were pure hearted people and evil "witch" magicians and false prophets using evil spirits (all ghosts are demons unlawful spirit creatures from Fallen Angels/humans having unnatural sex with animals) among the Native Americans as with all groups that were sent the law and real prophets of God. Zoroastrianism is named after Zarathustra/Zoroaster a Prophet of the Living God whereby that "religion" is actually fully tied too thus derived from the Melchizedek Covenant. The Emperors of Ancient China acted as High Priest for the Kingdom people and land sacrificing a lamb at the Temple of Heaven to the Lord of Heaven just the same as the Israelites were instructed.

Revelation 2:5
“Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Ephesians 4:30
“And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” A person is only Born Again Saved when Glorified made incorruptible, Salvation is a Gift of God it is God's choice by the Word of God, the person living in full agreement with God his law and truth New Covenant, Pure Hearted upon physical death.

Isaiah 4:1
“And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.”
Matthew 7:21-23 21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
@@7EvanPAC789this has nothing to do with Christianity. If you have nothing good to say get out.
@@currentlyhidinginurwallz You're in denial current unholy person, repent and read in full. You're wrong.
in my country macedonia, my mom told me and my brother a story of a 13 and 10 year old recording and raping an 8 year old boy and then sending the video to their friends. how evil is this world? no matter what age u are you can be cruel, disgusting, manipulative, and just humiliating.
damn talk about macedonia (i was born there and lived for 15 years) ... the crimes there are almost crazy. how teenagers get away with murder,rape and a lot more disgusting stuff. recently it occurred that in Banja a guy was burned alive beat up and thrown in the water by a 17 y/o girl and 18 y/o guy ... disgusting
i remember in russia here was a similar case (tbf, multiple with victims of different ages) and afaik most of them went on unpunished
i hope both our countries will get better
something similar happened on my country kosovo too. 2 eight graders rap3d a six year old girl and the principle said that they were just playing it didn't mean anything! Truly disgusting and horrible.
@@your.momishot *"whats kosovo 😕?"*

you could've put a trigger warning...
I listen to so much true crime that it really takes a lot to get me emotional, but that part about the mom saying "i won't leave until his eyes are closed" hit me so hard. Got me tearing up at the office
This is so random but I honestly love that she doesn’t play random scary music while she tells these stories. I’m a maintenance worker and you work alone at night in buildings and I can never listen to podcast or UA-cam channels that talk about certain things without them playing scary music in the background and freaking me out( I’m a big baby).
I'd say you are pretty strong because I wouldn't listen to murder cases at night while working 😅
@@azfp_angeles trust me I’m such a big baby I turn at every noise😭 I don’t know how I have my job because I’m freaked out at night
I always feel like scary music added to these kind of videos makes them feel more fictional and like the news is purely for our entertainment, if that makes sense? It's hard to explain
@@honeymelonade I totally get what you mean! It can add so much for the video but honestly when I’m at work by myself I rather have no music just cause I get scared easily. I also think because these cases are real it’s possible she doesn’t add scary over the top music out of respect for those she’s talking about?
@@idkman2143 Same and I agree
South Korea seriously needs to change their laws. These criminals cant keep getting away unpunished just cuz theyre minors.
No wonder bullying is so extreme in Korea. None of the bullies get any consequences
Exactly. Tsk
South Korean laws are the absolute worst, I'd dare say even worse than Canada!
Not bullying, school violence.
they literally torture their classmates. its seriously amazing how anybody can survive in an environment like that
When you said she spent an hour blowing on his wounds I teared up. This is just so heartbreaking.
I just wanted to let you know I love listening and watching your videos. You are an AMAZING story teller.
