What an awful cycle of abuse. Sam was psychologically abused to the point of self harm and the plotting of his death was so evil and dark.
,… SO DARK 😳
When did he self harm?
@@derominaI guess that means when he tried to sell his own body parts
@@deromina At 39.00 that letter was written by him while he tried to self harm but failed and also when he was trying to sell his body 💔💔💔I just hope that he is in heaven smiling at his loved ones and also I hope that I have a selfless loving and caring husband in my future ❤❤❤he didn't deserve this fate and she didn't deserve him ❤
@@MitziHart😅
It really hit me hard when Sam was willing to sell his organs to the black market so that Une could have some money when he was thinking of unaliving himself. Even in his darkest moments, he was still thinking about his wife. It takes a truly evil person to take advantage of someone's genuine kindness and good nature for their own selfish needs.
he was a massive simp
@@jhnyjoejoe69not really, he was manipulated, is pretty much clear from the video that he was lovebombed and then treated as shit (that's actually a well known technique of manipulation) and probably had past mental problems.
With the money he had he could 100% find way more attractive women
@@jhnyjoejoe69victim blamimg, you're sick in the head.
@@butterflymuse2707 "viCtiM blAmiNg"
Just stating the facts. Only a simp hands their entire check to a girl. You can't easily get manipulated into that without being very weak willed and lacking self respect. He had no self respect and unfortunately that cost him his life.
@@jhnyjoejoe69watch the end of the video and stop victim blaming
"A few times friends would send $100 and Sam would spend $3 and send $97 back." Wow... through all the pain he was going through he was still considerate and only took what he needed... that hits hard.
This was the part that really broke my heart.
@NotVille_yeah ok mr.42 subs 💀💀
damn 3 bot replies already 😅
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- im gay does jesus still love me☺
Fr :(
He was bullied until his last moments. I hope they never find peace for this
It's rare these days to find a man like that, who sacrifces everything and a dad material ending up with a psychopath. You did not deserve this sir, I hope you may rest in peace.
They're everywhere. They're just unappreciated till their 6 feet beneath the ground
The guys who say they are ....aren't xD @@vintage_hart6392
@@vintage_hart6392 I hardly meet any guy who'd accept me not wanting to get sexual real quick in a relationship or so far hasn't gotten annoyed with my boundaries.
I'm aware there are great guys, and yes I do date off personality. Everyone's Mr nice until they don't get what they want. They're there but not at all easy to find. I would have given my everything to a guy like Sam.
@@vintage_hart6392wouldn't say everywhere
Yeah she has no empathy what so ever it's crazy. I've made mistakes but damn not to that extent. She didn't even want to pay him back or at least pay him back in presents jeez. What kind of loser takes money from her boyfriend? That's so sad.
Hearing how scared he was is honestly one of the worst things about this case. He must’ve felt so alone, humiliated, and just terrified. The perpetrators in this case deserve no humanity and no leniency. Targeting the vulnerable and abusing them psychologically is unforgivable. May their time in prison be filled with nothing but hardships. Rest well, Sam.
Sam seemed like such a caring, beautiful person inside and out. He did not deserve this and she did not deserve him.
You can't be an idiot though there is nice but then there is being stupid that's what he was doing maybe he was gay and she was his way of hiding it.
@@Drkbardockssj Assuming one’s sexuality is wrong, first off. Secondly, that’s not an excuse for the behavior regardless. Lastly, calling a victim “stupid” is one of the most heartless, cruel things you could say. Please self reflect on yourself. Have a great day.
The wife is a red flag if you follow the MGTOW rule
@@Drkbardockssj what's wrong with you? genuine question
Sam didn't deserve that fate nor that terrible woman as a wife. He was her financial slave, she's basically a vampire.
okay olivia rodrigo😍😍😍💜💜🧛♀🧛♀🧛♀🖤🖤🖤🦇🦇🦇
Yea, i felt rage when she was like forcing her husband to pay her or something like that. It was unbearable for me.
It sounds like that was the trade off for him getting a pretty wife who's 10 years younger than him. She wouldn't have been with him otherwise and they both knew it
She was more parasitic than anything in my opinion 😓
@@otterhands8800 Parastic like a blood sucking tick! 😂
For some reason listening to the abuse that Sam went through is literally the hardest thing I’ve heard in a case. I am sending love to him and his family. He deserved so much better. Bless his heart. Truly. All the respect and love. I am so sad for him :(
Saaaaame!!!!!!!!
*coughs* junko case *coughs*
She definitely was a psychopath. Even as a child, she knew the part she needed to play. A thirteen year old is not stupid. I remember plenty of manipulative kids when I was around that age.
and even growing up too fast added to it.I cAN bet she truly hates her parents and thats why they are trapped with guilt. I'd always encourage family planning becAuse they could barely survive and brought her into this world making her care for them instead even as a child and an only child i can imagine how frustrated she must have felt and thats why she lacks empathy because she lost it as a child since she grew up too fast. for Sam id say he was blinded by her pitiful backstory and wanted to be the one to take care of her little did he know he was dancing with the devil herself
I agree, she must have planned what to say during the tv interview, so that she'll look good and be deemed as a great daughter
And then when she met Joe, her real evil self showed up
Agreed
I wonder her parents saw signs
@@lagosbaby892I definitely agree. She had a tough life and despite her circumstance (her parents were both disabled) not being intentional, as a kid, she didn’t get the stability she needed so (in her child-mind) *made* that stability in perpetual narcissism and self-absorbed thinking that would’ve matured out of her had she lived a normal life.
Probably many other things but I definitely think her hard life being parentified that early aided in her mindset to be as cruel and selfish as possible since she didn’t get that at the most important time of her life.
It's utterly DISGUSTING that these types of people exist, she knew what harm she was doing to her husband and everyone else yet she had the AUDACITY to try to play as a victim and expected the ENTIRE WORLD to be on her side.
that audacity is how many manipulators don't get caught - "Conman" is short for "Confidence man" because it's that sheer confidence which convinces people.
After all, if she's calling for help about it, how could she have done it? lol
Bless ❤ 🙏🏼 good men ❤️
She wanted him dead. It was obvious. She wanted insurance money.
I'm not sure whats worse. The fact that she did all these cruel things to a kind person like Sam. Or that there are sooo many people who think it's "okay" as long as she is pretty. Like what is wrong with them??? It's really heartbreaking to hear stuff like that. I really hope she will suffer in prison for what she did...
Truly, there are alot of people under the spell but this evil woman is not pretty inside or out. What she did was torture this man many for years and orchestrated his final demise.
The rest of her life she should remain behind bars⚖️⚖️⚖️
The "pretty complex" is very messed up isn't it. Especially in countries like korea and china. ://
@@wassupp_exactly
Pretty? Really?
It's what THEY think, not what I think. @@rajazaidah4157
I hope Sam knows how many people care for his story and see how kind and giving he was. I wished he found his right partner and not this horrible woman that manipulated him. He even looked so so sweet. I wish he knew of a kind love before his passing. I hope wherever he is at he found that some how and some way. I hope he is no longer starving either. :( so terribly heart breaking. This absolutely made me sob. Not many true crime stories do make me cry but this one hit differently..
Sam sounds like he was an exceptionally kind person and that was taken advantage of. Whether from the abuse initially or not he was probably depressed living the way he did, feeling bad about needing money despite working so hard. He was practically bullied to death. Terrifying what can happen when the wrong personalities join up. She had real nerve trying to collect the insurance.
@@Betelgue5e just because he had low esteem doesn't mean he wasn't also kind, but could have guessed someone would make that false equation
@@Betelgue5eyou are again confusing the two. he was obviously depressed. something was going on. but if he had a partner who didn't take advantage of him, it'd be all about selflessness and work ethic. forking over everything he earned to the point of neglecting his own basic needs is NOT kindness.
@@Betelgue5e i don't disagree with that 👍
@@Betelgue5eyou need to shut up
Sounds like he was a person with no self-respect. A very definition of 'simp'. Should have divorced that bitch long ago. I bet he even knew, or at least guessed that so-called "friends" was, in fact, a lovers of his wife. It seems that recent shortage of young females in Korea ("thanks" to selective abortions of girls because every family wanted a male heir, but didn't feel financially secure to raise a second child) made Korean men so desperate for a wife that they are OK with tolerating of any kind of disrespecting and outright abusive behavior from a woman.
My heart breaks for Sam! Good-natured people usually think that other people are as honest and kind-hearted as them!
But they aren't! They took advantage of his nature!
Thank you! Yes Stephanie is a grest storyteller but m y heart goes out to the victims in all these stories..😢
I think that Sam was being blackmailed. No one is that stupid and gullible. She was holding something over him and he was paying up to keep his secret, secret.
@@justrelaxing1550 Like what exactly?
@@justrelaxing1550that's a wild assumption
This is literally so unfair for Sam. I felt rage when she as forcing him to pay her and not showing respect to her husband's funeral and then she left Patrick with severe depression and social phobia. It was UNBEARABLE for me, I felt bad for poor Sam and her past husbands. It's absolutely sickening how she even planned Sam's death. Disgusting.
Mmm

@ville__ Shut up and move on you bot 💀
This Eunhae is nuts! I'm sure at 13 she was playing the audience of that show the way she played Sam and her previous relationships...
The marital abuse this poor man endured. It’s HIS money. He shouldn’t have to ask for it. I would feel so embarrassed and shameful if I treated my partner like that. I know a lot of people just don’t care but I can’t imagine putting someone through this. I rather be the one starving and feeding my other half but I’m guessing so would Sam. Heartbreaking.
🎉🎉 pppo
So very heartbreaking 😢.
It sad he did get someone who love him for real
fr, if my husband was like this i would worship him 0_0
@ville__"this channel doesn't have any content"
I was in a relationship like that, where I gave everything to my fiancé, and was still abused. I worked nonstop, and as soon as the money came into my account, my boyfriend/fiance took it. You can think that the victims are weak or whatever, but I never thought that it would happen to me until it did, and I had too much pride to ask anyone that I knew for help. I ended up homeless as a result. I lost my house, my savings, while my fiancé was sleeping with other women and doing drugs with my money. He was physically abusive as well as emotionally abusive, and when I tried to report him to the police, they were apathetic. It's only when you're literally left for dead - or dead - that the police finally care. And that's if the victims even report the abuse, and I can understand why many do not. It's very daunting to.
When I hear these stories, I always wish that I could have met the victims before they died, because I was almost one of those victims myself. You could have been making a video about me, if not for a slight miracle that my ex left me unconscious without checking to see if I was actually really dead.
I wish that I could have met Sam. He sounds like a wonderful person, and I wish that I could have been friends with him. I wish that I could have given him the love and friendship and compassion and joy that he clearly deserved. I always feel that way when I see one of these videos. All of these victims deserved so much more. It's easy to judge until you walk a mile in someone's shoes, but never underestimate the power of an abuser and their manipulative tactics. You never think that it's going to happen to you until it does. Abusive predators target kind people, giving people, vulnerable people. They target the kindest, most generous, and most giving amongst us, because those people are always the most forgiving, understanding, and tolerant. It's vicious.
People who lack empathy have no place in society. They are too dangerous.
Im so sorry you went through that , you deserve so much better :(
Yes, but theses vampires, energy vampires, narcissists and malignant narcissists TEACH us to look after yourselves - as we have lacked this in our upbringing.
After you looked well after yourself there is ENOUGH money, time & energy to spend on friends, acquaintances and anyone asking/requiring our help. Only AFTER one looked after oneself one can help the needy !
By "looking after oneself" I do NOT mean that one needs 40 pair of shoes 👟 or 4 Ferraris - but one needs 1 pair of waterproof shoes and a pair of warm boots !
I think a lot of people expect police to act on just an accusation. They can't do anything without proof. Plus a lot of abuses aren't actually illegal. For example, if you're handing your money over to someone, you have the freedom to do so. How are you going to prove you're being coerced into it? It's very difficult, which is why it's so important to collect evidence to show that these abuses are occurring.
@@Karamarika No, there was proof. Lots of it. They literally just didn't care. That's what it's like in the country that I live in, unfortunately...and that's what makes it so hard to escape relationships like this when you finally realise what is going on. Or even if you just have stalkers and you're not in a relationship! I had a stalker for two years a couple years ago who was a neighbour of mine, and it's very scary. He would put letters through my door all day and night and stand outside my door and window all the time and the police would do nothing. They have all of the letters - hundreds of them, all saying very crude things about me being on his bed in all of these positions. When I asked him to stop, he began saying racist and sexist things about me, going on racist rants in the messages, saying threats, trying to poison my dog. He would approach me in the street and try to grab me sometimes. The police have evidence of all of this. And they wouldn't do anything. The guy was crazy and scared everyone around. He even attacked people in the area - he tried attacking an old man who is a priest who lives down the road. The only reason that he is gone now is because he has left the country (apparently to go fight for Hamas, is the story around town, and he did say in his letters to me that he wanted to go join them, but who knows).
You can have lots of proof of crimes occurring and the police won't do anything because they can't be bothered to. Some will be nice, but some will be real bullies, and they will keep switching you to other officers, trying to shift responsibility so nothing will get done, and actually try to bully you to drop the charges because they don't feel like doing the work. It's actually shocking. I'm glad that I had neighbours and friends as witnesses with me most times that I spoke to them because some were so aggressive with me, you would think that I was the criminal! You can have evidence of serious injuries, countless threatening letters and text messages, and they will still do nothing. Even burglaries they don't do anything about (I haven't been burgled, but I know that it's a real problem around my city, and in every part of the city everyone says that the police do nothing, even if they have evidence). It's really bad.
There's actually been a really serious problem here with women getting killed after reporting their ex boyfriends and stalkers to the police and them doing nothing only for the women to end up dead. Or honour killings, and things like that.
Anyway, I don't know why you would make the assumption that I called the police without evidence. It's so funny how some people will do anything to both blame victims, and excuse the police for not doing their jobs. I mean, you literally just made a bunch of completely baseless assumptions about how I either called the police with no evidence to back up my serious claims, or called them over lesser things like giving my ex money that I wanted back - when I made it pretty clear in my comment that my relationship was physically abusive and actually resulted in me almost ending up dead.
So why would you write a comment saying that I must have called the police because I had no evidence or wanted money back that I had freely given my ex? What makes you so eager to blame victims for their fate, and excuse police for not doing their jobs? It's just bizarre. I don't understand people like you.
And also, just FYI, when I called the police, I did it for the plethora of reasons that I previously mentioned (stalking, abuse, violence, breaking and entering, threatening letters and messages, etc), all of which involve a lot of evidence that should have been taken seriously. I even called them one time and my ex had broken in through my window. When I answered the door to the cops, my ex had a knife to my back (he had threatened me that if the cops did not believe me he would stab it straight into my back and at least injure me before they rushed in and I knew well enough to know that he was telling the truth), and when I opened the door just a crack (and I had said over the phone quickly that my ex was breaking into my flat before he broke in, and smashed my phone and my head against the wall), they could see me with injuries, and blood trickling down my ear, and my eyes were wildly trying to point behind me as I kept my voice calm. They asked if he was there and I said no, that he left, while trying to motion with my eyes like crazy. They asked if I was okay, and I said yes, meekly, while trying to imperceptibly shake my head no. But I literally had blood running down my head. I mean, any decent cop would ask to come in. I was peering out of the door like a crack. My eyes were going wild. They must have known. There is no way they did not know. But they just smiled and left on their merry way and left him to beat me some more and get angry at me for leaving him. I moved so many times and this ex would always find me, and I finally broke free because one good cop finally found my case buried under a plethora of DV cases after years of stalking, beating, being found, having my flat broken into, finally being left for dead, only to call the cops and have no one call me back...and then 6 months later this one detective decided to look back through a bunch of cases to see if there was anything that they had missed, and he was really my guardian angel. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to take the bastard to court. I wouldn't have had the courage. He supported me so much all the way. If all cops were like him, the system would be amazing.
So anyway...yeah, I gave them a lot of evidence. They still have a lot of evidence that they haven't acted on. Real evidence. And maybe people like you shouldn't always immediately discount victims' stories, and assume that it must be the victims who were at fault for ending up in the horrible situations that they did, or for not giving the police enough evidence beforehand, or for not understanding the meaning of the word "evidence" because we're just "stupid victims" in your head, or whatever your next excuse is to blame the victims instead of the people who you should actually be blaming in these situations is (ie, the cops and other people who don't do their jobs and take victims seriously, and most importantly, the perpetrators of crimes). And you definitely shouldn't be making completely baseless assumptions about things that an ex-victim has just told you about - especially when those assumptions conflict with what they've literally just told you about what their experience (and all so you can try to minimise what happened to those victims, in some weird attempt of yours to ignore the actual issues that they've just raised).
Yours was such an unnecessary and insensitive comment to write.
@@taha2824 Thank you for your kind words. I'm alive, and not going through it anymore; and I can try to help others, so that is what matters. 🙂

ONLY 40 minutes in?! Hahaha
That lady is truly a heartless person. She literally tried to get money from the insurance of her husband who she killed. Poor Sam, he really deserved someone better.
I'm only 12 minutes in, but as soon as you said Sam was 10-12 years older I gasped. I lived in Korea briefly and the culture of respecting elders is a core of Korean culture. The fact they let him slam his head down to open the watermelon as the ELDEST there is INSANE.
Thank you. Because we do not know cultural practices.
U didn't read the title? The fuck
Exactly! I have two good friends from Korea and they have explained they respect their elders, They even do this here in America. So hearing that they were all Bullying Sam tells me a lot about these people. They def pushed him off that cliff.
Unfortunately, there is less respect for elders all over the world.
As a nurse for 30+ years some of the new nurses coming in have zero empathy and let people lie in their own urine and feces their entire shift. (While they play on their phones )
When I was a nurse there was way more empathy and respect.
But he did it…doesn’t make sense. Being older you’d think he’d tell them don’t be childish! And know his wife wouldn’t be able too or hurt herself. There’s something more to this.
Eun Hae is a selfish and evil person and it astonishes me that she manged to get away with murdering her husbands for this long without getting caught. To think she only got caught because of a tv show makes me even more mad because why tf aren't the police doing their work??! Joe only getting 30 years is crazy and the other guy possibly getting off with a slap on his wrist is even crazier. RIP Mr Yoon, you deserved better.
If this woman can do this to someone she used to love , what more to strangers?? I think she's the type of a person who can bully her classmates but when caught she would suddenly act like a victim.
she used to love? really? you think she loved him? obviously not!@@mainexx1352

@@mainexx1352this wasn’t love. She found someone financially stable with low self esteem and took him to the grave with her actions- financially, mentally and physically until the actual grave. She had/has no love for anyone but herself
@@pattyq429 I mean that's why I said "used to love". At some point she probably loved him or was attracted , but.. she loves herself more. A very narcissistic person in a devil level.
People like her are vile. When my husband passed his two older siblings and their grown children were so mad they didn’t get to pick apart our money, life insurance, cars, etc. Surprise, I put it all away for my four year old daughter. They didn’t speak to their parents so I would go check on them and spend holidays and birthdays with them. Now his parents are talking about suing for malpractice. Guess who are the best children again? Surprise, my daughter will get the majority of that money anyway if they win. They need my permission to file and it goes to his estate. Which my daughter legally owns.
Did your husband's older siblings help him grow up? Did they pay for his studies? Did they take care of him while he was a child so they couldn't study or work? Was your late husband's success accomplished thanks to his siblings? If not, why do they think they should get any penny that belongs to his child??!!!
love ur pfp
@@lamoskgr they physically abused him and did drugs around him as a child. I was the bread winner and they treated my daughter and me as trash who were just in the way. To quote “f them” and “your daughter will get over it”.
I was wondering what would make them even believe they had any claim anyway. He has a child and a wife...
I hope his parents remember how their children treated them when they had less to offer.
@@Christy-sf6vt they are not good people. They see everything as an opportunity to gain whatever. They’ve literally stolen money, a truck, appliances to sell from my husband and their parents.

Is that really your takeaway from this story??? Yikes @@Youser999
@@Youser999 Why would anyone fall in love with anyone if not for looks, character or personal similarities?
She sounded absolutely malicious and manipulative, but also really dumb in hindsight. None of her excuses made any sense, took several tries to kill Sam, sucked at covering up her trail, and was just caught in the open. Sucks that Sam was so love struck/gullible for a psycho like her.
People like that aren’t able to really live in the real world because they don’t think ahead ever they live in their own little world made perfect by their mind it’s like they live in they mind 24/7 but still act in the real world, they won’t ever see the consequences of their actions because to them they are the one who can get impacted the most in their world no matter the situation they are always the victim
I bet she got cocky since she got away unscathed after her other boyfriend’s deaths
reminds me of Kouri Richins
The absolute DISGUST I feel for Eunhae. There are only a few times I truly wish I had the power to curse someone and this is one of them.
Rest in peace, Sam. Your heart was kind and your Iove and generosity for others will always be remembered.

❤ big fact I love her stories she a rock star ✨
frrrr
Though the child may be innocent; this is probably the one case where I would probably be happy if the child did not receive any inheritance from Sam's family. It's best for the family to grieve alone. Rest in peace, Sam. You certainly did not deserve this. I hope others can take this as a lesson to speak up if they see similar abuse.
I feel the same way. I felt bad thinking that. But it sounds like he never saw the kid. There didn't seem to be a relationship. But who knows. She shouldn't have access to the whole family's money if they pass. His family members deserve it and they should be able to get a clean break. I'm worried about the influence she has been exposed to though.
It wasn't even his kid. She had that kid before she got with him.

Im getting infuriated listening to the fact that she saw all of his struggles, read all of it, and continued living her life as if she owned it all. I hope where ever he goes, in that life he gets to enjoy all the good food and more. Thanks you for another amazingly done podcast. :)
When a husband beats his wife, we call it domestic violence and take it seriously, concerned it may ultimatlely lead to fatal injuries to the wife. This is domestic violence too. Mental and financial abuse of this man was insane. I wish we as society would take this more seriously and maybe the people around him would act in time to save this guy.
Of course it is. Who would disagree?
@@erowry22 Look at our Hyper-capitalistic Westernized World with open eyes.
@@erowry22 I apologize in advance I don't mean to bring politics into this but this has to be said there is a certain type of extraordinarily radical feminist that seemed to regard men as lesser than human and . That's not just Democrats / liberals who believe men cannot be abused (sexually/financially/physically) there are various conservative movements I don't have a specific example I can point to but I do know they exist but I think it's mostly of the Christian conservative variety or usually the more extreme elements of the various political movements
This is so true 😢.
No one knows what's going on behind a closed door
I’m speechless. I’ve only gotten to 40:00 but hearing Sam’s living condition sounds horrible. She sounds terrible, taking advantage of such a nice guy. “A few times friends would send 100 Dollars and Sam would spend 3 Dollars and send back 97 Dollars” I’m sorry!? He was struggling and only took enough for food??? I feel so bad for him :(
I had to pause it right here and take a break the abuse he endured is horrible :(

There really are good people in this world
And they need to be protected and nurtured

I really love how you explain differences in cultures.
this woman is pure evil.. and unfortunately kindness draws narcissists and psychopaths. Have experienced this first-hand. Three's no reasoning with people like these, their empathy is in the negative. The more you plead, the worse they become. Stay safe folks!
I've noted this too.
I agree. I feel like he was more than kind, though. The way he joked about how he knew he was just being used financially and for life insurance once he dies tells me that he either truly hated himself, or he had a degradation fetish. It goes beyond cultural differences, he knew what she was yet kept giving money to her. He didn't even live with her. He met her as a sex worker, married her, then she was just some woman he sent money to and provided a house for. Maybe he occasionally slept with her. I have no idea, it's such a weird situationship and yes I feel like that word was invented for this type of relationship. Terrible.
@@youcantdiealonewithcats he definetly knew who she was, like she doesnt even pretend to care if she cant even do something as basic as calling him on the phone since they dont live together like isnt this modern day slavery
@@youcantdiealonewithcatsI don’t think it was a fetish type thing but possibly like a sort of self-insecurity, he most likely did like her but didn’t wanna be alone, like he did all those stuff to make sure he wasn’t alone or lonely because he felt like despite her character it was how love is, ykwim?
There's a difference between kindness and immature.
I’m so truly sorry for this man’s torture, abuse and murder. Everything about this case sounds horrible. The innocent child was harmed as well with such a mother. Very troubling. Thank you for sharing.
it was not really a man though, a girl....maybe
Earlier in the story, I was thinking how naive and encourageable Sam was. But, after learning about the Oonah’s (sp) childhood, I believe that Sam felt it became his calling to provide her the happiness she didn’t have as a child. May he rest in peace.
Sometimes people either convince themselves that their loved ones arent mistreating them or are too afraid to speak up
And I think he thought (or had convinced himself) EunHue was sending money to her parents and daughter, not spending it all on herself and boyfriends.
@@dimitroulatroulaI know some who know that they are being used badly,but are just DUMB to leave.
He apparently was very desperate to be with someone so that'd why he ended up with Eunhae. He met her online iirc and she was like a "catch" for him.
Good thing im against modern feminism and refuse to put women on a pedestal. I would reject Oonah based on looks alone (i'm a millionaire irl).
he was apologizing for eating ??? that's so crazy he was so devoted... RIP man...
Man, how meeting the wrong person can destroy your life.
I certainly know that!😊
I’ve lost twice. Have to take responsibility for not not making good decisions in that area.
Literally. It almost did to me too that I almost resorted to discarding my life. Very scary that people like that exist
Speaking from experience, I think Sam's relationship did not start up like that. It is very likely that Une started out like a normal loving person, even lovebombing him, and then systematically isolating and breaking him down until he was willing to do anything to make her happy. He does behave like a severe case of an abuse victim.
He must have been manipulated to accept this treatment, surely it didn’t start with her demanding money.
@@darcymoon2109you obviously don’t know how abusive people operate don’t you?
Korean crimes is on a whole new level, especially about bullying. You would think they will not be rigid to the punishment when they can clearly see how painful it was.

i wanted to watch this thinking i could fall asleep to it now i cant breathe 😭😭
Why would you want to fall asleep to a video about a serial husband killer being exposed?
What is so calmly and sleepable about the possibility of deaths, torture, and pain.
The messages of him asking money to the most necessary things, broke completely my heart
I'm half way through this episode and I am LIVID. This woman is EVIL.
That’s absolutely pathetic she’s doing that to her ‘husband’
She is such a brilliant storyteller, grips the audience. I love Rotten Mango' s podcasts.
21:26 a glitch in the matrix? she gave me the chills
This was such a hard watch for me. I feel so sorry for Sam and his family. I couldn't fathom how such a kind hearted soul could be treated this way. I hope wherever Sam is right now, he's living a much better life full of love, care and compassion....and I hope he's enjoying all the kimbaps and food there could be. I also hope he's walking on soft grass and a beautiful garden where his feet will no longer ache. I hope he's resting peacefully. And to the vile people who did this, I wish nothing but suffering for them.
i’m only 20 minutes into the video and this video honestly breaks my heart. no one deserves this treatment at all and it’s even worse when it’s sam considering the kind of person he was. the whole case gives me chills…
Yes, poor man. He went through so much, yet still remained so kind. It's so sad, omg.. 💔
When he covered his ears on that tube god damn I cried
Poor Sam. I hope wherever his soul maybe now, I hope he can feel safe and loved and cared for.
in fantsia u mean, because cowards dont go to hell, they go to limbo
So happy Sam's sister fought for him, fought for justice!! Wow. This story was really tragic.
To think that this woman went from an innocent young girl to such a disgraceful being in such a small period of time is disgusting. Rest in Piece Sam and the other alleged deceased men that faced Eun Hae.
I’m so sorry, but it’s peace, not piece…
Sorry….
@@Gamez_Studios_LOOOOOL
49:00 Honestly, I don't hear a sweet child caring for their parents - I hear someone who, at a young age, already learned how to manipulate and con folks into doing and seeing what she wants them to. I feel like she's been horrible for her entire existence, she just got sloppy with too much confidence and got caught.
She probably understood from a young age that her life was “unfair” and her parents didn’t really do much to help ease that anger she felt. So it just grew and she started to realize that she could manipulate people to make the life she liked. Delusional as sh*t. Like in no way I’m saying being evil and murder is okay but personally as someone who had to mature in such a young age, I can see how tempting it is to throw all your values away, because in a way it is one of the only things holding you back from being selfish and even cruel to others to obtain what you want. Though it’s stupid and utterly disgusting because victimizing yourself all the time won’t get you nowhere and it’s not the fault of others, most of all to inflict pain. I hate how it can be relatable to a certain extent, though I definitely am not going to agree with murder. Just a bit of insight of personal opinion.
I was thinking the same thing! Maybe she was genuinely kind back then but as I watched this I thought it was a very easy way to manipulate.
Yeah, I thought so too.
I didn't want to think that, but you're probably right.
The comment i was looking for :)
Watermelons have the same density as a human head, so to make it easier to understand, he’s basically slamming his head into someone else’s forehead until it splits.
And some people here said it's an ok kind of fun 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
yea what a simp right... not a man, have some self respect, what would hes parents say huh. smfh. masochist
It's so freaking infuriating that Sam had to ask for his OWN money. Heartbreaking. He seemed like such a kind, deserving person. It's so unfortunate he crossed paths with a gold-digging, narcissistic B like Eun Hae.

God, that poor poor man. He sounds like he was so sweet and dedicated, and she was just horribly evil. A sweet man like this didn't deserve what she did to him
also he should never have been amongst people, but angels....he went home in the end though. this place is no home to the devine
I wish there was a way to send a message to those who passed. Sam your heart was so pure. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I hope you know justice was served.
what an intro!! when you said she was with her husband, boyfriend, and ex-boyfriend i literally gasped.
i never teared up watching your videos, but just watching this my eyes literally became a waterfall. Sam's story is truly heartbreaking, the fact that he still cared about his supposedly called "wife" even when he's in the verge of death because of starving.
It took me 6 years to understand that the love I was holding on wasn't love. It was manipulation and gaslighting. I had to run away to a different country to get over it
With me it took HIS friends to tell me it was a toxic relationship and to leave. I'm thankful I had them, but I know others don't. I hope you're doing well now!
im so sorry that happened. i wish u the best of luck for ur future relationships xx
Imagine being so gaslighted that you can't perceive someone trying to kill you multiple times.
I hope the daughter learns better and gives everything to Sam's real family
There’s no way he didn’t know he wanted to kill himself anyway he sounds strange

It’s sad how low Sam’s self esteem had to have been to put up with what Eunhae was doing to him.
trully sad ....almost a wste of a man....boy. kid.
The fact that he wanted to give THAT for her to have money when he passed is just so incredibly sad.
I have listened to horrible stories and cried through them. This. I cannot do. I’m gonna have to stop here. 37:19 💔💔
I really wish his friends pressed into the issue, they might have been able to say something to get his mind to reason this situation. I know Korean culture, or most Asian cultures, its a big nono. but if its a really bad situation where you see someone dying for two years, that should be a huge red flag that someone outside needs to point out the abuse.
@ville__womp womp
It's not that easy. I lost 2 friends to something similar to this. One of my friend disown this parents and siblings because of his wife, and I had been telling him how wrong that was until he stopped talking to me too. They lived in Texas, and when Texas had that huge blackout, she made him guard their house from looters because they had no electricity, and she went to her cousin's house, being all warm and comfortable.
@@myphanJesus I’m sorry to hear that. Anybody who loves their partner will say fuck the stuff let’s stay safe together 😮 so clearly she is no good for him

maybe he didnt have friends
I’m crying Sam sounded so kind hearted,,I hope he’s resting easy
I remember hearing about this case back when Eunhye and her boyfriend were believed to be on the run outside of Korea. I’m glad to have more detail and to learn that justice was finally served
Its heartbreaking to see what he had to go through and so sad. He truly was a good person and didn’t deserve that abuse ❤

This one was heart breaking. When he was talking about the HELICOPTER thing my heart just shattered. He thought of others even in his deepest suffering. Hell is too good for people like her.
It’s hard to feel bad for people like this
The insurance company are the real heroes here, if they didn't deny her the insurance money based on their suspicions none of this would have ever happened.
Not really, they claimed it was fraud but didn’t report the evidence to the police. . .
naaah not really
"She went on a trip with her husband,her boyfriend and her ex boyfren" umm wha
She’s a ….
That was my exact reaction too
I can barely stomach this! As someone who has almost drowned, it feels terrible, the person who had saved me swam pretty fast, 2 people in fact. They aren’t great swimmers and were probably 10 feet away from me. It’s not that hard to swim fast enough. It’s disgusting how Eunhae did absolutely nothing to save him, and went on trips after Sam had passed.
May Sam rest in peace and live great fortune in Heaven

So funny.¿
She was manipulative as a CHILD. She knew she would look selfish if she asked for the room for herself. She just knew how to look selfish WHY BEING SELFISH.
Agreed!! Them thinking she's a sweet selfless girl, me almost positive she was manipulating maybe even abusing her parents 😠
@@joyous1011babe you have the context that she'd grow up to become a killer, they didn't. It's not hard to realize she was manipulative with that context 💀
Extreme poverty growing up is often overlooked as a reason for how people like Eun-hae come to be. It fosters a resentment so strong that it manifests as almost a kind of narcissism. A mindset of seflishness so extreme they'll do anything, and run over anyone just for money. Be extremely manipulative for money. Anything better than going back to poverty. The same thing happened with the fake "orphan" during another episode.
@@AngryKittensexactly. there are countless of people growing up to be wonderful people despite having grown up under hard circumstances, so don't get me wrong it's not some sort of excuse, but it EXPLAINS why someone lacks empathy. Sometimes conditions that require it, especially in your childhood, will make you desensitized to emotions and impact your character negatively in the future with no therapy or something similar.
@ville__what are you talking about?? Lol.
I’m so sorry for her kid because growing up with that kind of mother I can’t imagine her upbringing being too good
Oh god. Drowning is one of my biggest fears so hearing the descriptions makes me shiver. This poor man...
This is a profound tragedy. I can't imagine how much that man suffered. My God, this is too much. Feel so bad for the guy, i really wish he could have had someone who loved him. And the poor kid in this too, her mother's evil. Literally evil, I'm sure that child is suffering too.
I remember hearing about this story a while ago thinking how excruciatingly lonely he must have been up til his last moments. Only someone truly evil would bully someone whose self esteem is already in the gutter
I’ve heard a-lot of people’s life stories, and this one really really hit me. I had to steady my breathing and calm myself… My mom used to tell me that no kind deed goes unpunished.. He didn’t deserve to go through such pain and I hope he rests peacefully.
Sam must have had some serious insecurities and fear of losing his wife if he spoke out about the injustice otherwise i don't understand how someone could give that much power over them to another
He should had talked with Andrew Tate Fr

Abuse differs from case to case. He was clearly at an emotional disadvantage that she kept exploiting. Soon in enough he started blaming himself for everything that was happening to him. It's sad.

You can have a beautiful marriage but make sure you’re with someone who’s putting the same effort in as you. Her lack of empathy is just unreal. Idk how someone gets that detached from caring about people.
Thank you for covering this case! I'm living in Seoul and this case was HUGE when it blew up. There was a lot of news covering different parts of the case and it was hard to keep up but thanks to this episode, everything made total sense. Thanks for being such an amazing storyteller.
I love how she always tries to do her best with cases and how the information is well organized
sam is one of a kind, the girl didn't deserve him! those people were animals, that girl is ungrateful while her husband is suffering. the world doesn't deserve a pure and genuine soul like sam
I've been single my whole life and since a young age have been living alone and work, cook, pay bill, basically raise myself all alone.
Seeing cases like this, seeing people who has a loving partner who care for them and provide for them yet they take them for granted and mistreat them makes me very mad. Nobody should treat anyone like that let alone your partner. Can't blame her childhood trauma for that. Many people have trauma but trying to give the best of themselves everday. She's just pure evil
hearing that he had to beg for his own money and so gentle about it, my heart just breaks

she's so evil for everything she did i hope sam is in peace now and his family gets justice
I genuinely feel bad for kind hearted people who met a wrong partner. people like Sam or Abby Choi who don't even care about their partner's social status and wealth but they treated very bad because they can't be selfish. I would imagine if people like Abby and Sam made their way for each other, how healthy the relationship must be
I think there's something to be said about how many times men are abused, domestically and psychologically and many of these cases go unnoticed, dismissed, or unreported--largely due to "toxic masculinity"; people will just tell the man who reported the incident to "man up". I think societal values as a whole, along with the bystander effect, really shaped this tragedy into a reality.
I feel like Sam has a cognitive disability, maybe autism, which the wife used against him :( the story doesn't really add up especially how their marriage's living arrangement is and how Sam still is blindly in love with the wife, but personally knowing someone who might just be like Sam screams true to me :(
Yes! I actually was thinking this. It reminds me a lot of someone I knew who was on the spectrum. He was an awesome guy with a great job, but very easily taken advantage of by women. Poor Sam...:(
I was thinking the same, there doesn't seem to be up and downs like many abusive relationships. Just down down down. I wish his family or friends would have intervened early.
Unless he was being physically threatened, someone starving while going into debt for someone that clearly hates you makes no sense. It's so upsetting how they used him
As a parent to a child who has autism. Thats my greatest fear when he gets older is being taken advantage of because of his disability. 🥺 rip sam you deserved so much better
I don’t think so, you don’t have to be on the spectrum to be taken advantage of. There are many things that can cause thsi
I don’t think think so either. I have family members that are just utter cowards and cannot speak up for themselves no matter what.

I think he begged nicely thinking she would respond better.
Lee Eun-hae, 32, and her extramarital lover, Cho Hyun-soo, 31, were indicted for allegedly prodding the woman's then 39-year-old husband to jump into a deep valley river in Gapyeong, 50 kilometers northeast of Seoul, in late June 2019, even though he was unable to swim, and letting him drown.
Their motive was found to be an 800 million won (US$598,578) death benefit payable to Lee upon her husband's death.
On Wednesday, the Seoul High Court convicted Lee of murder, confirming the life imprisonment sentenced by a lower district court, and also upheld the district court's 30-year prison sentence for Cho.
Like the lower court, however, the appellate court rejected charges that Lee "gaslighted" the husband and egged him on to dive into the river, and so to his death, ruling instead that Lee and Cho are responsible for the husband's death because they did not come to his rescue when he drowned.
The two were also convicted of attempting to kill the husband earlier in 2019 by poisoning him with puffer fish toxin and trying to drown him at a fishing place.
Lee, in particular, drew the public's ire after it was revealed that she had not dropped a suit she filed to reverse an insurance firm's decision not to pay the husband's death benefit to Lee even as she underwent trial on murder charges.
