Let you know in 30 mins; i'd guess it was Kim, he knew the door code, he walked her home, he was the last person to see her, he also cleaned the apartment and was there during the time the search history was deleted.
She left for some rest and relaxation?? Bruh anyone who owns a pet would know nobody who has pets and is studying to be a VETERINARIAN would leave her dogs unattended like that. That's immediately a red flag of foul play
It sure is very weird. I do cat hospice and would never, ever just leave them. I have delayed hospitalization after the ER to get someone to replace me and to explain all of the medication regimens. No way someone training to be a veterinarian would abandon an animal.
I would argue that a lot of Koreans I have met are terrible at taking care of their animals and would absolutely do that. Many don't have a single clue as to what animals need and see them as glorified dolls. As terrible as it sounds, I get why the police did not think that was a red flag. However, she is a vet student so it seems much less likely since she actually got an education on how to take care of animals and their needs.
There are people that decide to become elementary teachers, and yet they are abusive towards their children. There are people that decide to become doctors, and yet they are very rude and uncaring towards their sick relatives. There are people that become scientists and yet firmly believe and publically parade around the most ridiculously antiscientific beliefs, like that the planet earth is only 6000 years old or that it was once completely submerged by the flood. And there are people that decide to become veterinarians and still don’t take good care of their own pets. It’s unusual, but sadly not that unusual to be actually implausible. The testimony of their family about how she took care of her pets is more relevant than her veterinarian job at turning it into a red flag for “out of character” behaviour.
I’m a dog lover and I would not be able to relax knowing that my dogs were not being cared for. I am 100% positive that a women studying to be a vet would not take off for some relaxation and leave her dogs without food and water
Brilliant work there cops. A woman has her personal belongings stole, then has her home broken into and is missing, but you say “oh shes just out” while her pets are straving, which is odd as shes in a vet school. A school were you mmm you know CARE FOR ANIMALS. This is just a conga line of screw ups.
And also, not sealing the place off for proper investigation and informing the CIVILIANS with 0 training NOT TO MESS WITH THE CRIME SCENE. I'd rather trust Santa Claus to come save the day over a bunch of incompetent clowns with guns and badges.
It's not odd. Cops deal with abnormal situations like this all the time, and crimes are rare in S. Korea. There were no hints of violence in the apartment.
@@uruloki2758 If crimes are rare it's all the more reason to be serious as timing is crucial and so is checking for fingerprints dna etc.... A bunch of shitty police officers probably couldn't be arsed so said she's probably out. No normal person goes out and leaves their pets to fend for themselves.
@@fishandchipsupper what exactly is strave? Is it like a rave? Why don’t people spell check? 99.99% of the time phones nowadays let you know that something was spelled wrong.
My grandfather was a detective who died in the 70s and he would spend 1 or 2 days just looking for fingerprints using powder and a brush. It was very time consuming and exhausting part of the job. To see police be so careless and unbothered about collecting and securing evidence with advanced technology is very infuriating. The victim and their families deserves better. Very disrespectful or suspicious when this happens.
Such an utterly sad story. My heart breaks for her elderly parents, knowing that they sold most of their possessions in order to offer a reward. Sadly, I don't think they will get the answers they seek before they pass from this life.
So the prime suspect knew the passcode, cleaned up the evidence and her father classified him as a stalker????? Other students at the party saw them leave at different times. He was also the last one to see her alive. Him and the other student not "remembering" if they used her desktop??? How do the police ignore such red flags???? Edit: The cops knew but I just reacted when I typed this out. Even though the evidence is "circumstantial", he still did it in my eyes. Another thing I feel like they missed, is that the same two people who stole her stuff were probably the same ones who cleaned up the apartment.
Listening to more and more of these crime stories you'll realize that police all over the world can be quite incompetent, to a very scary degree. These are the people we supposedly rely on to keep us safe and can't even figure out a common sense situation.
@the-unknown-1 yes a lot of police are just careless and negligent. They like having a gun and power. Some want to help people, but a lot of them do not.
I guess not everyone watches crime shows to understand that if you destroy evidence. You destroy the hopes of finding your friend and solving a crime. And what's up with the neighbors? Weirdos.. And pet lovers NEVER leave their pets to starve. NEVER!
It's not like america where you can watch these crime shows, in south korea it's bassically like a less strict version of north korea but they still have very authoritarian laws that prevent people from learning actual important things. To give you an example they've done police raids on people playing video games of all things, that's how hard they want to suppress people from actually having a life of their own outside of what their schools teach.
@@restlessfae2407not everyone is a wannabe Sherlock Holmes, and again I don't think the friends ought to be blamed, it's the cops being complacent and telling them it's alright nothing happened here, it's their job and their power to seal a place off if they deem it suspicious, so why didn't they?
In regards to the neighbours it's not uncommon for people to be hesitant to answer police about something like a missing persons case for fear of being implicated, even if they're entirely innocent. You see it in cases all the time where there's no clear answer or resolution, people start accusing anyone who's said anything. An innocuous noise you heard that you might think related could end up with people speculating on you being part of a conspiracy. Whilst there are people who always try to contribute whatever they can, the majority of people fear becoming involved in matters with law enforcement.
Kim. He had access to animal tranqualizers Why would she need them? He also cleaned the apartment, claiming it was not to shame anyone. It is clear he had one of those "good guy" crushes, which turned murderous
It's so frustrating that her body was likely disposed of in the incinerator, and because of that her disappearance will never be totally solved. Whoever got rid of her body had the perfect way to do it because it's pretty much completely untraceable at this point.
Actually that bring some questions. How did they know that 110 kilograms were incinerated that day? No one at the company told the university "um sorry, you only paid for half of this." And if it was priced by day or whatever instead of by weight, why is the weight even logged? And why would a student (Kim) have access to the bags sent to the incinerator?
it’s when the search history was deleted for me. if they were the only two people in the apartment, there’s no way it wasn’t kim in my mind. i do find it interesting that her friend couldn’t recall whether or not she used the computer either though. but idk, especially since there were rumors that he was collecting her hair and shit… to me, where there’s smoke there’s fire, especially with all the other circumstantial evidence piling up
I agree. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on cleaning up the apartment, especially since it smelled like dog piss and shit. But the search history deletion and hair collecting were really fucked up.
And that clincher that he knew the code!!! I was suspicious of him from the beginning and when Lazy didn't mention him right away, I felt bad that I was jumping to conclusions. And then he hits me with the plot twist! The way he had to keep running to her side every time. Either he was the sweet guy friend that got hardcore friendzoned or they had a little, to her, non-serious thing but he wanted it to be more. Either way it kills me that her father is almost certain it's him and isn't seeing justice for his daughter.
@@crimeworkers130 certainly, but paired with everything else i personally find it more plausible than just any rumor :,) like it wouldn’t mean much on its own since it’s not confirmed but it just makes everything a lot weirder
More suspicious is the fact that he said she told him to wait at the alley as she'd be fine walking the rest. She's already had her handbag stolen and possible SA. You make sure she gets in the house 100%. My guess is he did and you know the rest...
@willnestor6422 right. My guess is maybe he did something in the bathroom to her and walked her home to talk his way out of it and she didn't say anything because she didn't want to provoke him. She's telling him it's ok and how she won't say anything the whole walk home. She makes it home where she tried reporting him while he starts to walk home, but thinks about how she's probably going to say something so he goes back, knocks on her door, and she opens the door. He pushed his way in, sees what she's doing on her computer, and takes it from there. That's just a wild guess based solely on what I've heard on this one video, but it fits with the facts.
@@KornPop96 He's certainly suspicious but so's the prof to be fair. The only thing I find hard to piece together if it was Kim is how did he get the body to the school and dispose of it. The Prof was creepy, possible SA'er, possible something more outside of school when she's teaching his kids.... The prof would have had easier access to the facilities without being caught/rousing suspicion but then Kim not revealing he knew the passcode and cleaning the apartment.... If you only had one suspect you'd say it was them but with these two they both seem equally suspicious.
@willnestor6422 the prof is definitely sus too, but I like Kim on this one more. He was the last known person to see her, he put himself at her apartment on the night in question, his story doesn't add up, he cleaned her apartment before the actual investigation, and he was one of the 2 people in the apartment at the time her computer was accessed. As for getting rid of the body idk, but he could have done anything to it. We don't know for sure she was taken to the school for disposal. It's just a theory and definitely a great way of disposing a body, but we don't know for sure. She could be in anywhere really.
I wonder if he spied on her in the toilet or tried it on with her and followed her out the club to apologise. He then realised she’d tell everyone and snapped and killed her.
I suspected him as soon as he said he waited at the alley as she walked the rest into her apartment. He already knows where she lives so she's not hiding her exact location from him so why would you not escort a woman who has just been robbed and possible SA to the door to 100% make sure she gets in safe..... Sound he's giving himself a weak alibi or he's just a very socially awkward person. She may well have said "wait there I'm fine from here" but it seems unlikely and most men would not take that chance and 100% make sure she gets inside safe. However with that being said the prof is suspect as fuck as well. Possibly trying it on with her and maybe more outside of school. Had easier access to the facilities without rousing suspicion as well... Who knows. There can only be one killer and both are equally suspicious.
Indeed! My blood just cold watching that. Even watching him, after she have closed the door, is disturbing! I can't even imagine how scared and sressful that young lady felt after that moment.
That's what I thought as well. I mean, how stupid you must be to cleaning up a possible crime scene? You don't need to watch true cr1me or even have a degree to think of that. Maybe, the cops didn't say anything just for being so obvious. -"Oh mr officer...my bad!" ...Common!! Besides,when they split in two groups, in a convenient way, he was allocated to stay at the apartment waiting for her parents (time to clean up something I've forgoten). Finally, how the he** would the stalker be aware of her most "precious belongings" (table and the hammer)? How many people around her had this personal information? Whoever did this had a free pass into her ap. He knew the password for the door or perhaps knocked on the door 4 min later. Her computer could be infected with malicious software anytime , any ocasion he had been there.
I really like these vids that focus on cases that take place in Japan and Korea etc - they don’t get talked about much in the western world and a lot of UA-cam is oversaturated with the same American or British cases that many UA-camrs just copy from each other, so it’s good to see fresh content about events that aren’t as publicised to us. Definitely do more content like this, Lazy 👏🏻
They like to keep their information, especially regarding their crime rates, as vague as possible. There are also times they label obvious cases of homicide as suicides to keep a murder case from going on record.
Ehhh, Japanese and Korean crimes are covered almost as much as American and British crimes at this point. What would be much more interesting are: Eastern European crimes, southern Asian crimes, Arabic crimes, or crimes in Latin America.
@@Goldfish1060I agree that covering more is cool but the first one is definitely not true outside of very, very well known cases like Junko's and the like
@@rando843 you need to expand your UA-camrs then. For example: KyotoRobota, he also covers Japanese crimes and mysteries, and another plus is that he actually lives in Japan. And okay as much as the others no, but Japanese crime is easily the third most covered subject on UA-cam when it comes to crime.
Wait, so Kim was one of the people who cleaned her apartment and destroyed evidence, he collected strands of her hair, AND he was the last person to see her alive? Can we please just get rid of polygraph tests? If he hadn’t passed his, I’m sure he would have been under more scrutiny.
What a super frustrating story. The cops brushing it off as nothing even though the it screamed foul play and the friends destroying all evidence. Unbelievable...
The fact that some neighbours refused to cooperate with the investigation certainly is shady if they didn't hear anything out of the ordinary in the apartment why didn't they just say so unless they have something to hide
In all honesty, that’s quite common within South Korea. While they have a huge gossip problem, a lot of crimes tend to show that they don’t like to insert themselves in business that isn’t there’s essentially. Ignore it completely. It’s not uncommon.
Some ppl are just shitty and have no empathy. I was nearly murdered in a stabbing, and when I was able to talk to the police and med outside, a neighbor got mad and yelled at me for sitting on the curb in front of his house. Right in front of police. Even though it was obvious something horrible just happened to me.
That video of the young woman going inside her apartment and the man missing the door by mere milliseconds never fails to send chills down my spine. This is why I'm adamant about making sure I watch my friends and family members get inside their apartments or houses before I drive away. A lot of times, these intruders will watch their targets for a couple of days so they can get to know their routine and find the perfect time to strike. Please, I urge everyone (male and female) to let someone walk you to your door, walk your friends and loved ones to their doors, let a neighbor know when you'll be back, etc. You can't be too careful out there. Stay safe everyone ❤
Kim is the top of my suspect list. Too much "circumstantial" evidence & easy access to her. You add the obsession & unrequited affection? Why, when stalking is known to be an epidemic in SK, would the police be so lax about her disappearance?
In korea you get more time for smoking weed then being a rapist, assault or even being caught with CP. I recently heard of a case where a creator of room where he shared CP and was only sentenced to 18 months. It's sickening.
@tashacooper1792 to be fair, cp, r@pe & things like that aren't taken very seriously in the West, either. BUT, Asian cultures are hardcore about some things vs others in a pretty effed up way 😬
@@tashacooper1792 are you talking about the creator of "welcome to video"? If I remember correctly his father tried to defend his son by saying his son shouldn't be treated so terribly since it's not like her murdered anybody , it's absolutely insane. He should've been extradited.
Law enforcement all over the world is lax about stalking. Somehow, a veterinarian student abandoning her dogs to die a slow and agonizing pet so she could get some R&R is more believable; anything to blame the stalking victim.
@nnuu7618 yes! It just makes me sick. I couldn't imagine defending my child if he committed such awful crimes. He 100% should have been extradited he got off way too easy
thank you for always giving the victims their backstory and honor when doing these cases lazy. yoonhee seemed like a sweet and brilliant young lady, and she was so brave for switching her career path at 25. i’m finding inspiration from hearing that alone from her, and it pains me to hear that something horrible happened to someone gentle and admirable like this.
I do suppose it's possible that the professor blackmailed Kim into giving him the room passcode at some point... then told him to play dumb and delete the pc history for him. That's all I can think of if Kim didn't actually do the deed himself...
The young lady is MISSING, under very odd circumstances, and the friends and sister clean up her apartment (destroying any valuable evidence) so as to protect her image from her parents? Perfect example of the culture overriding common sense! And the fact the police concluded that an animal lover would leave her pets unattended, likely to die of starvation, so that she could get some "rest and relaxation".... It boggles the mind how these geniuses made it though the police academy and are allowed to carry a badge!
I believe that robbery was unrelated. It became the perfect cover for the real perpetrator because she told her close friends and family about it. He can point at that and say it must be them, they took the wallet, and come back for more. In many of these cases, it is someone the person knew. A classmate who wanted to be more than friends and was rejected. We know how that story goes.
And if they simply wanted to make it look nice for her family, they wouldn’t have cleaned and sanitized it so thoroughly that there weren’t even fingerprints left.
@Silencersix I think that's more on the police not doing their job properly, there's no way they could have cleaned it up that well to leave absolutely no fingerprints? plus I think they did have to sanitise it especially because there was dog pee/poop around the studio
Seriously. This poor woman had multiple men in her life who may have felt so entitled to her that they assaulted and killed her and may never receive justice.
My bet is on Professor Moon. Why? Her search history said sexual harassment versus assault. That's typically a term used when someone who has a position over you is bothering you, such as a boss or a professor, etc. I also think that it was the Professor who followed her into the bathroom at the bar. If it was Kim, why would he even divulge that information because the police might ask potential witnesses at the bar if they had noticed anyone following her into the bathroom and it might identify him. The Professor would have unfettered access to every area of the school and tranquilizers at any time, day or night, but I doubt that students would have. I think that Moon became infatuated with her, especially after she began tutoring his children. I believe that Moon started messaging her inappropriately after he had verbally told her that he was interested in her. After he followed her into the bathroom at the bar, she probably messaged him and told him that she was going to turn him in for harassment. I think that he showed up at her apartment door asking for her to let him apologize, and she let her guard down and let him in, thinking that he was sincere. Maybe he gave her some of the tranquilizer, SAd her, and killed her with the hammer? As a Professor, Moon likely had a vehicle to transport her body in, whereas it doesn't appear that Kim had one. As far as cleaning up the apartment goes, I have seen a lot of true crime videos where well-meaning family and friends cleaned up a potential crime scene of someone who had gone missing and later regretted doing so. Anyway, those are just my thoughts. This is a heartbreaking case. 💔 I feel awful for her elderly parents. 😢
Both suspects are equally suspicious however, I believe it would have been easier for the professor to dispose of the body without getting caught tipping me 60/40 for the professor.
Thank you SO much for covering these little-known cases in the western world. All victims deserve to have their stories told and publicized. All victims deserve justice. As long as this case goes unsolved, the rest of the world is at risk. I hope the authorities involved will take this case seriously and not rest until the perpetrator has been caught and sentenced.
Bro when the cops think a person who loved animals and was dedicating her life to helping them, would leave her 2 dogs to fend for themselves for days to just wander or party or whatever wasn't suspicious... I thought "How stupid can people be..." Then the friends cleaned the crime scene... *forehead slam!!!
Another weird detail about Kim is, why wouldn't he be one of the friends filing the missing persons report, if he was the last to see her? Why would he choose to stay and clean the apartment instead, unless he deliberately wanted to hinder the investigation?
Damn, I can't imagine the sister's reaction when she received that call. I 100% believe she was shocked, confused, relieved and ecstatic, only to later found out that the call was fake...
Undoubtedly you say??? You can never be 100% sure. The prof was known for being touchy feely around her which she didn't like... We don't know how he behaved when she was tutoring his kids... Could have been very creepy towards her.... Hell for all we know he was having an affair with her and she didn't want to continue it so he killed her or she wanted to expose him etc.... He also had easier access to the facilities to dispose of her without rousing suspicion. Suspicious absolutely but both are... We do not however have all the information and for all we know they could both be innocent and a 3rd party involved so lets keep words like undoubtedly out of the mix.
I am STUNNED by the stupidity of some people... a female friend has gone missing- by all signs *clearly* against her will, and to "avoid embarrassing her parents" they get a bunch of cleaning products & erase every bit of possible evidence from the fucking crime scene. That's so completely boneheaded it's suspicious. Like a few other cases I've seen where the victim's friends, family or landlord inadvertently (?) compromise an entire crime scene & destroy any possible evidence, those people should blame only themselves when the case goes cold 😑😑😑 (this is directed at her female friend & her sister, who innocently, stupidly helped tidy up the crime scene- and even threw away a potentially crime-solving cigarette butt. 🙄) Anyone complicit, I guess they can pat themselves on the back for playing a convincing moron
Dude, this isn’t the west. They do things differently in Korea. Shame is a MAJOR deal and comes from something as little as a messy home. That shit damages families there.
police force works for the state not you. Their interest is for you to pay taxes and obey authority not to protect you. Have the last years not proven this?
@@Ciprian-IonutPanait Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Take it easy, pal. No need to go ortshay usefay, I am just pointing out that sometimes people’s mistrust of authorities can lead to making some not-so-thought-out choices.
27:34 great storytelling, sir! I love how you actually take time to construct a COMPELLING narrative. Most true crime content creators are NOT good at that. ‼️👏🏽
Kim makes total sense. He assaulted her on the way home she got in, not wanting to “overreact” she wanted to see the exact definitions of what happened. Then he got antsy and knew he had to keep her quiet
Kim definitely seems to be a prime suspect. However,about him acting dumb about the passcode it could be due to many reasons. Firstly,he may have been trying to protect Lee by keeping her vital info secure. Secondly,what if the two were actually more than just friends? Korea being extremely conservative about such things,revealing that he knew the passcode could've led to speculation and scandalized Lee. Thirdly,he may have been confused in the situation but the passcode being a very personal piece of information he decided against revealing it. But the detail about him keeping a journal and collecting Lee's hair are giving full stalker vibes alongwith Lee's dad also calling him a stalker. Lee may have been a nice girl & may have decided to reciprocate Kim's obsession by giving him her friendship. The most sinister idea I have is that Kim confessed what he did to his friend & they purposely cleaned up everything. It's well nigh ludicrous that such well educated adults were unaware of how important a crime scene & DNA evidence is. Cleaning a little is acceptable but such a deep clean rings suspicion.
let's say he didn't do it. okay so why didn't he enter her apartment to check on her well being when she didn't show up to multiple events? if had no way of contacting my friend and they've been missing for days I would enter their apartment to make sure nothing happened. at the very least he's an obsessive creep.
@@ShimmyFr we don't know if he deleted the history. a was there too. it's within the realm of possibilities that a did that. additionally, if kim is the kind of guy who refused to reveal he knows the passcode out of fear it might scandalize lee, then he's definitely also be the kind of guy who'd delete her message history if he saw something in them that he thought would paint her in a bad light.
@@starbutterfly4860 why should he care about all of those when his "friend" is MISSING... why are all of these trivial things so important to him when we are talking about his "friend" potentially being in DANGER... i mean they called the cops for a REASON!!!!!!! instead he deleted her chat history & cleaned the crime scene (not one, but TWO vital evidence for the investigation) all because he don't wanna bring shame to his friend that may end up DEAD because he just destroyed the evidence that could help the cops identify her whereabouts!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! yea that makes sense!!!!!!!!!
Are the police that decided that the phone call was not connected to the case the same ones that determined there was nothing wrong with her starving dogs and ransacked apartment?
Nah in korea they like people learning as little as needed, even south korea is guilty of it, so when they aren't told something they likely genuinely don't know to think about it
At first when they said a couple people stayed behind I thought “oh good, they’ll keep people out of the crime scene!” At best, both are colossal dumbf***s. At worst, one is a dumb**** and the other a murderer.
@wheezesanchez5661 huh... they do here ... they're accessible with a warrant (even a geofence warrant), & are in fact collected without our consent by a government that assumes the constitution to be void.
Is everyone in this town a moron 😂😂😂?? Friends destroying evidence, a veterinarian leaving for "rest and relaxation" with her pets at home? C'mon bruh 😑
One thing stands out. One of the men was in her apartment that day, fixing something. Very easy to watch her put in the numbers. But…I agree it’s her ‘friend’ or the professor. Her poor folks.
A huge thank you for the reminder about polygraph tests!! Also, I don't want to be an armchair detective, but so many signs point to Kim... and some to professor Moon, too. I feel so sorry for her and her family, especially since they will most likely never know what happened to her... And I can't imagine being such a disgusting person as that "psychic". Why do people like this interfere with investigations and give false hope to families and other loved ones of missing people?
I believe the criminal is one of the people who cleaned her apartment. Especially that guy who claimed that it was ''shameful'' to leave her apartment in a mess. He had access to tranqualizers and thus access to where the animal carcasses were being kept before being cremated.
Those tissues they found in the apartment right across the street definitely had dna on them. It probably would’ve matched the cigarette butt on yoonhee’s veranda THAT GOT THROWN AWAY LIKE A FOOL! Or they could’ve seen if the BRAND was the same as the empty packs in the creeper apartment. The creeper could’ve been class mates
Statistically, it was Kim. Most women who are murdered are murdered by the men closest to them, romantically. The fact that their romance did not get off the ground may have been because she did not feel that way. He was the only one to witness her coming out of the bathroom looking frightened. He was the last person to see her alive, by his own admittance. He had the code to her apartment. He could’ve gone in after her and he also lied about knowing the code. To save her honour? Feeding her dogs when she is away is nothing to be ashamed of. As her father said Kim followed her around. Maybe she thought they were friends, but some people will pretend to be your friend if that’s the best they can get. He got drunk that night, he may have gone way too far and killed her when she resisted. He inserted himself into the search and cleaned her apartment after the crime. Occam’s razor.
Kim . 1. He new the pass code, but played dumb . 2. He cleaned the crime scene. 3. He was the last (supposedly innocent) person to see her alive , by his own admission , probably to explain why he was with her ... if anyone reported seeing them together . 4. He let her walk down the alley ALONE . If he was a good dude , and non threatening , there is NO reason for this . Some thoughts , tho- 1. Sensing something bad HAD happened , he didn't want to let on he knew the code ( dumb , but understandable) 2. He (honestly) may have been trying to help his friend by cleaning.... NOT KNOWING what was up with her , and not wanting her to be embarrassed by the mess as her folks and others would be coming . 3. He MAY HAVE walked her home , just as he said , BUT - 4. didn't walk her down the alley on HER insistence , because she wanted to avoid an awkward scene at the door with her friend , who she knew was crushing on her . This is why physical or eye witness evidence is SO crucial ... because a person's "Word" can be taken many ways . Still , a journal of her activities, collecting her hairs etc. IS some bad lovesick behavior....it doesn't mean murder ! Also , the thieves had her identity , address , etc and could've easily scoped out the scene for a couple days and found convenient hiding spots , in the dark alley by her door , to way lay her , or spring from , the moment she opened the door .... as the young lady in the vid barely avoided ! No evidence she was disposed of at the school so the Prof. angle seems unlikely and the butts and tissues in the abandonded apt were prob an voyeuristic and horny maintenance guy.... who would have had access . Just sooo messed up whoever hurt her , and my heart goes out to her poor family . Hope this WILL be solved someday , but don't see how . Sorry for the long comment . Bored . Lol
That video was creepy as hell..I remember seeing a tiktok a while back where a south korean woman actually walked up to a streamer while he was live and just randomly struck up an awkward conversation like she knew him. Turns out she was being stalked by this guy nearby and wanted it to appear like the streamer was her friend so hed leave.
its similar in japan too. theres a dude who became a little known for it as it happen a few times on his irl streams. hes known as the angel of shibuya
I recently learned quite a bit about south Korea...to say that it is conservative doesnt do it justice...its downright misogynistic! Its extreme even in compare to other countries where misogynism is common, like China. Man I really feel bad for the women who end up in cases like these...and of course their families.
I am Korean and I can second this. Even in events of SA, media and the public will often times put some blame on the woman for acting a certain way or leading. Women are expected to behave a certain way towards men which has caused men to feel a certain superiority over women. It's very much traditional when it comes to marriages and relationships.
@@misscyanic2484yea westerners just make only fans and expect respect lmao y'all feminist ruined everything and I agree some men are pos but we ain't all like that just like women I was with an abusive pos chick skante got to her head
Part of it is the possessiveness, stalking, and post-breakup misbehavior. I'm a male and I've been stalked by Korean women. I always hate to take a shit at work out of respect for others, so they don't walk into a stinky situation. One night, I really needed to go and as soon as I got home from work, I sat my cell phone down on the counter without even turning the light to my apartment on, and walked into the restroom to take a shit. I did turn the restroom light on. No sooner than I sat down, I heard my phone vibrate. I waddled/shimmied with my pants around my ankles out of the bathroom to my phone. It was an ex-girlfriend. She asked where I was and I told her I had just gotten home from work. She asked me if I was sure. I chuckled and said I'm either at home or I'm about to take a shit in someone ELSE's bathroom. She said, "But your light isn't on." And her home was around an hour away from mine. That was soooooo weird and creepy. I'm friends with all of my ex-girlfriends, except the Korean ones because they ALWAYS do weird stalker-type stuff and not just one I talked about earlier. One often left really long back-to-back-to-back messages on my answering machine when I was at work every day, back when landlines were still normal. Long-winded, foul-mouthed rants, saying my dick is so small and it was so sad I didn't have a girlfriend anymore, that her new boyfriend makes so much money compared to me, et cetera, along with really disturbing, mental stuff that I don't wish to repeat. Ghosting is extremely common after break-ups in Korea for this reason. Both genders. None of my American, Palestinian, Turkish, or Vietnamese ex-girlfriends ever did anything like that and I'm still on good terms with all of them, especially my high school sweetheart. But breakups here in Korea just cause some really weird, creepy, messed-up behavior. It's not just the ladies. I've heard stories about the gentlemen too. It's just that my personal experiences were from dating women.
ANY person who loves animals would NEVER leave their pets alone! In the very least they would leave plenty of food & water out for them. How sad that her room was cleaned and valuable evidence could have been collected was lost.
It's more likely that it's Kim because he offered to clean up the crime scene and only he can have the time long enough to access to Yoon-hee's computer and deleted the search history
The level of pure stupidity and lack of common sense by her friends, family, and law enforcement snowballed. They couldn't have helped the killer(s) anymore if they'd been part of it.
the creepy guy and the teacher probably worked together. the professor would have had access to the drugs found at her apartment and access to the incinerator, while creepy guy was still under the radar as "ok" or "timidly safe" in her eyes, would have had access to her home and probably had access to her computer either before or during the assault that claimed her life. Then disposing of the hammer in a plastic bag in any waterway would have been all that's needed. South Korea has an insane misogyny problem, to the point where their birth rate is lower than japans bc women at large are so fed up and DONE with them. It's called the 4B's, and i know this took place before the movement started in 2019 but the ideas have been percolating for decades- these things don't just come from nowhere. I'm willing to bet the men responsible felt entitled to her and felt wronged bc of her choice not to engage with them.
Imagine being the two friends who went to file the missing persons report, only to come back and see the other two had cleaned up the potential crime scene. Shivers
The lack of common sense in these murder cases is truly frightening she's reported missing but no cops investigated the apartment just let her friend/murders clean the place no CCTV must exist either it's like the cops are in on some of these cases that's how stupid they are just like missing 411 we have a ex special forces tracker that knows how to live in the wild for months yet he later dies from hyperthermia and that's an open and closed case like wtf
I think the professor lured her back under the guise that maybe she could do her exam again to get extra points, because she was upset about not doing well.
Who are these people that police claim just 'decide to vanish' without telling anyone?? I'm sure it might happen from time to time but its surely not the normal. If people are saying it's out of character, and it LOOKS suspicious, SHES FECKIN MISSING.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr majority of people don’t leave their pets to starve for days though. I know as a pet owner I wouldn’t. Even if she did just disappear, as a cop, it’s your job to still look for them. Not all people missing are murdered but many often are.
10mins after upload and less than 100 comments! This has never happened to me before and I've been watching Lazy for over 5 years! Lazy is my absolute favorite UA-camr! Thank you for everything you do for us!
I don't buy that she would have left on her own and forgot her dogs. Nobody who has ever had any pets, even less someone studying to become a veterinarian, would leave pets of any kind unattended for longer than their usual day. Either she'd have found some place to board them or ask someone she knew to watch and take care of them or, in an extreme case where she knew she wouldn't be coming back, she'd have given them away. And her throwing out her hammer and prize coffee table is a notion I find dubious. If she was the DIY type and had a good relationship with her parents, then that particular gift from her father would probably be something she'd never want to part with, even after it was old and worn out to the point of uselessness for sentimental reasons. And the table, well, that's utility. If she had left on her own and intended to come back far sooner than the point of her dogs being weak from having not eaten for so long, she'd still have used it. And look, I know Eastern Asian cultures operate on shame and respectfulness and all that, but cleaning the apartment when there is reason to suspect a crime had been committed? Really? Everyone knows a crime scene needs to stay the way it was first discovered, regardless of country and culture, so the police can conduct a proper investigation. It does not take a true crime fan or crime scene investigator to point that out. I'm sorry to say, but that right there makes it look to me like her friends covered up her murder.
funny how when somone passes the lie detector test, it's always "unreliable." but when they fail it, it's a sign of guilt. It needs to be one or the other.
I really appreciate that you talk about cases from other countries. There are so many people who go missing that don't get talked about because they aren't from an English speaking country.

Greetings from Iceland, just your favorite Icelander strolling by. Great job as always

Let you know in 30 mins; i'd guess it was Kim, he knew the door code, he walked her home, he was the last person to see her, he also cleaned the apartment and was there during the time the search history was deleted.
let you know in 30 mins
She left for some rest and relaxation?? Bruh anyone who owns a pet would know nobody who has pets and is studying to be a VETERINARIAN would leave her dogs unattended like that. That's immediately a red flag of foul play
I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this yet; you're absolutely right.
It sure is very weird. I do cat hospice and would never, ever just leave them. I have delayed hospitalization after the ER to get someone to replace me and to explain all of the medication regimens. No way someone training to be a veterinarian would abandon an animal.
I would argue that a lot of Koreans I have met are terrible at taking care of their animals and would absolutely do that. Many don't have a single clue as to what animals need and see them as glorified dolls. As terrible as it sounds, I get why the police did not think that was a red flag. However, she is a vet student so it seems much less likely since she actually got an education on how to take care of animals and their needs.
There are people that decide to become elementary teachers, and yet they are abusive towards their children. There are people that decide to become doctors, and yet they are very rude and uncaring towards their sick relatives. There are people that become scientists and yet firmly believe and publically parade around the most ridiculously antiscientific beliefs, like that the planet earth is only 6000 years old or that it was once completely submerged by the flood. And there are people that decide to become veterinarians and still don’t take good care of their own pets.
It’s unusual, but sadly not that unusual to be actually implausible. The testimony of their family about how she took care of her pets is more relevant than her veterinarian job at turning it into a red flag for “out of character” behaviour.
I’m a dog lover and I would not be able to relax knowing that my dogs were not being cared for. I am 100% positive that a women studying to be a vet would not take off for some relaxation and leave her dogs without food and water
destroying evidence like this is too stupid it almost feels intentional
Legit‼️
I think Kim did it for sure
I'm pretty sure it was done on purpose
Yeah , clean up shit - ok , but they swept the whole house
Yeh but LUMINOL wld have still _shown up any blood,_ cleaning up or not
Brilliant work there cops. A woman has her personal belongings stole, then has her home broken into and is missing, but you say “oh shes just out” while her pets are straving, which is odd as shes in a vet school. A school were you mmm you know CARE FOR ANIMALS. This is just a conga line of screw ups.
And also, not sealing the place off for proper investigation and informing the CIVILIANS with 0 training NOT TO MESS WITH THE CRIME SCENE. I'd rather trust Santa Claus to come save the day over a bunch of incompetent clowns with guns and badges.
It's not odd. Cops deal with abnormal situations like this all the time, and crimes are rare in S. Korea. There were no hints of violence in the apartment.
@@uruloki2758 If crimes are rare it's all the more reason to be serious as timing is crucial and so is checking for fingerprints dna etc.... A bunch of shitty police officers probably couldn't be arsed so said she's probably out. No normal person goes out and leaves their pets to fend for themselves.
Would she really leave her pets to strave, for as you say, her pets were indeed straving. 😅
@@fishandchipsupper what exactly is strave? Is it like a rave? Why don’t people spell check? 99.99% of the time phones nowadays let you know that something was spelled wrong.
My grandfather was a detective who died in the 70s and he would spend 1 or 2 days just looking for fingerprints using powder and a brush. It was very time consuming and exhausting part of the job. To see police be so careless and unbothered about collecting and securing evidence with advanced technology is very infuriating. The victim and their families deserves better. Very disrespectful or suspicious when this happens.

Such an utterly sad story. My heart breaks for her elderly parents, knowing that they sold most of their possessions in order to offer a reward. Sadly, I don't think they will get the answers they seek before they pass from this life.
We can hope...
I hate to agree more, but damn this is a sad possibility. Anyone else being a victim in certain murder cases like these.
"She had thrown out her table and hammer, because she no longer needed them" Who came up with this? Kim? Or how shallow are these people
So the prime suspect knew the passcode, cleaned up the evidence and her father classified him as a stalker????? Other students at the party saw them leave at different times. He was also the last one to see her alive. Him and the other student not "remembering" if they used her desktop??? How do the police ignore such red flags????
Edit: The cops knew but I just reacted when I typed this out. Even though the evidence is "circumstantial", he still did it in my eyes. Another thing I feel like they missed, is that the same two people who stole her stuff were probably the same ones who cleaned up the apartment.
Listening to more and more of these crime stories you'll realize that police all over the world can be quite incompetent, to a very scary degree. These are the people we supposedly rely on to keep us safe and can't even figure out a common sense situation.

I guess not everyone watches crime shows to understand that if you destroy evidence. You destroy the hopes of finding your friend and solving a crime. And what's up with the neighbors? Weirdos.. And pet lovers NEVER leave their pets to starve. NEVER!
It's not like america where you can watch these crime shows, in south korea it's bassically like a less strict version of north korea but they still have very authoritarian laws that prevent people from learning actual important things.
To give you an example they've done police raids on people playing video games of all things, that's how hard they want to suppress people from actually having a life of their own outside of what their schools teach.

@@casper2694you have to be Sherlock Holmes to keep your hands to yourself and not tamper with evidence?
In regards to the neighbours it's not uncommon for people to be hesitant to answer police about something like a missing persons case for fear of being implicated, even if they're entirely innocent. You see it in cases all the time where there's no clear answer or resolution, people start accusing anyone who's said anything. An innocuous noise you heard that you might think related could end up with people speculating on you being part of a conspiracy. Whilst there are people who always try to contribute whatever they can, the majority of people fear becoming involved in matters with law enforcement.
Kim. He had access to animal tranqualizers Why would she need them? He also cleaned the apartment, claiming it was not to shame anyone. It is clear he had one of those "good guy" crushes, which turned murderous
Yup, same thought here. Heard she lost her phone and saw the opportunity.
He’s the only one who knew the key to her door too, right?
Ya maybe he also was involved in taking her bag
He's definitely sus.
What about the assault at the pub?
Was it verified that it wasn't him? Or he just made that up too?
It's so frustrating that her body was likely disposed of in the incinerator, and because of that her disappearance will never be totally solved. Whoever got rid of her body had the perfect way to do it because it's pretty much completely untraceable at this point.
Maybe on their deathbed, they will confess
@@franco30528Probably not. Why would they? You have to be completely remorseless to do something like that anyway.
You'd think there'd be cameras that would've seen somebody suspicious with access to that type of equipment
Actually that bring some questions. How did they know that 110 kilograms were incinerated that day? No one at the company told the university "um sorry, you only paid for half of this." And if it was priced by day or whatever instead of by weight, why is the weight even logged? And why would a student (Kim) have access to the bags sent to the incinerator?
I hate when crime scenes aren’t secured 😡
hahahjaja
Their rookie police should have been fired.
Say thank you to her dumb "friends"...🙄
I totally get your frustration but particularly with missing people sometimes they don't realise it's a crime scene straight away.
"Several used tissues" found by the window facing her apartment, and they failed to find any 'usable' DNA? 🤔 How many cups of ejac does the lab need??
😂😂😂😂
I thought the same thing!
Honestly though 🙄
Some would say loads😂
😳 Wow. You didn't pull any punches with that quip did you bruh?🥴
it’s when the search history was deleted for me. if they were the only two people in the apartment, there’s no way it wasn’t kim in my mind. i do find it interesting that her friend couldn’t recall whether or not she used the computer either though. but idk, especially since there were rumors that he was collecting her hair and shit… to me, where there’s smoke there’s fire, especially with all the other circumstantial evidence piling up
He's a definitely a suspect but we can't really use rumors as evidence since rumors are often times just rumors
I agree. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on cleaning up the apartment, especially since it smelled like dog piss and shit. But the search history deletion and hair collecting were really fucked up.
@@phatphil7836 agreed, and yeah when he said there were rumors that he collected her hair my jaw dropped lmao that is insane behavior
And that clincher that he knew the code!!! I was suspicious of him from the beginning and when Lazy didn't mention him right away, I felt bad that I was jumping to conclusions. And then he hits me with the plot twist! The way he had to keep running to her side every time. Either he was the sweet guy friend that got hardcore friendzoned or they had a little, to her, non-serious thing but he wanted it to be more. Either way it kills me that her father is almost certain it's him and isn't seeing justice for his daughter.
@@crimeworkers130 certainly, but paired with everything else i personally find it more plausible than just any rumor :,) like it wouldn’t mean much on its own since it’s not confirmed but it just makes everything a lot weirder
I thought it was Kim the moment you said he walked her home. He was the last person to see her, and it's obvious he's obsessed with her.
More suspicious is the fact that he said she told him to wait at the alley as she'd be fine walking the rest. She's already had her handbag stolen and possible SA. You make sure she gets in the house 100%. My guess is he did and you know the rest...
@willnestor6422 right. My guess is maybe he did something in the bathroom to her and walked her home to talk his way out of it and she didn't say anything because she didn't want to provoke him. She's telling him it's ok and how she won't say anything the whole walk home. She makes it home where she tried reporting him while he starts to walk home, but thinks about how she's probably going to say something so he goes back, knocks on her door, and she opens the door. He pushed his way in, sees what she's doing on her computer, and takes it from there. That's just a wild guess based solely on what I've heard on this one video, but it fits with the facts.
@@KornPop96 He's certainly suspicious but so's the prof to be fair. The only thing I find hard to piece together if it was Kim is how did he get the body to the school and dispose of it. The Prof was creepy, possible SA'er, possible something more outside of school when she's teaching his kids.... The prof would have had easier access to the facilities without being caught/rousing suspicion but then Kim not revealing he knew the passcode and cleaning the apartment.... If you only had one suspect you'd say it was them but with these two they both seem equally suspicious.
@willnestor6422 the prof is definitely sus too, but I like Kim on this one more. He was the last known person to see her, he put himself at her apartment on the night in question, his story doesn't add up, he cleaned her apartment before the actual investigation, and he was one of the 2 people in the apartment at the time her computer was accessed. As for getting rid of the body idk, but he could have done anything to it. We don't know for sure she was taken to the school for disposal. It's just a theory and definitely a great way of disposing a body, but we don't know for sure. She could be in anywhere really.
I wonder if he spied on her in the toilet or tried it on with her and followed her out the club to apologise. He then realised she’d tell everyone and snapped and killed her.
I suspected Kim IMMEDIATELY as soon as he and the others CLEANED UP THE CRIME SCENE
the criminals: deez stupid idiots removed all the evidence for us and we got away easy peasy cheers everyone 🎉🍺🍺🍺
I suspected him as soon as he said he waited at the alley as she walked the rest into her apartment. He already knows where she lives so she's not hiding her exact location from him so why would you not escort a woman who has just been robbed and possible SA to the door to 100% make sure she gets in safe..... Sound he's giving himself a weak alibi or he's just a very socially awkward person. She may well have said "wait there I'm fine from here" but it seems unlikely and most men would not take that chance and 100% make sure she gets inside safe. However with that being said the prof is suspect as fuck as well. Possibly trying it on with her and maybe more outside of school. Had easier access to the facilities without rousing suspicion as well... Who knows. There can only be one killer and both are equally suspicious.
My gut feeling saying the same
I feel it’s Kim also !
Team effort maybe
That guy almost catching the girl at her door, is so chilling.
Indeed! My blood just cold watching that. Even watching him, after she have closed the door, is disturbing! I can't even imagine how scared and sressful that young lady felt after that moment.
her friend did it.... he cleaned up the crime scene, had been obsessed with her walked her home... cant believe they couldnt find any evidence 😢
Well, her dumb friends through away the cigarette, u didnt see ?
That's what I thought as well. I mean, how stupid you must be to cleaning up a possible crime scene? You don't need to watch true cr1me or even have a degree to think of that. Maybe, the cops didn't say anything just for being so obvious. -"Oh mr officer...my bad!" ...Common!!
Besides,when they split in two groups, in a convenient way, he was allocated to stay at the apartment waiting for her parents (time to clean up something I've forgoten). Finally, how the he** would the stalker be aware of her most "precious belongings" (table and the hammer)? How many people around her had this personal information?
Whoever did this had a free pass into her ap. He knew the password for the door or perhaps knocked on the door 4 min later. Her computer could be infected with malicious software anytime , any ocasion he had been there.
I really like these vids that focus on cases that take place in Japan and Korea etc - they don’t get talked about much in the western world and a lot of UA-cam is oversaturated with the same American or British cases that many UA-camrs just copy from each other, so it’s good to see fresh content about events that aren’t as publicised to us.
Definitely do more content like this, Lazy 👏🏻
They like to keep their information, especially regarding their crime rates, as vague as possible. There are also times they label obvious cases of homicide as suicides to keep a murder case from going on record.
Ehhh, Japanese and Korean crimes are covered almost as much as American and British crimes at this point.
What would be much more interesting are:
Eastern European crimes, southern Asian crimes, Arabic crimes, or crimes in Latin America.
@@Goldfish1060I agree that covering more is cool but the first one is definitely not true outside of very, very well known cases like Junko's and the like

I'm surprised we even know that much given how strict South Korea's privacy laws are. Normally it would just be "Mr. A"
Such carelessness from them to destroy the evidence like that
"Carelessness", or retroactively cleaning up the crime scene before police could investigate?
@@DukeRhodesyep. I go more with number two. I think they were trying to cover up something. It makes me sick that she probably was murdered.
Wait, so Kim was one of the people who cleaned her apartment and destroyed evidence, he collected strands of her hair, AND he was the last person to see her alive? Can we please just get rid of polygraph tests? If he hadn’t passed his, I’m sure he would have been under more scrutiny.
What a super frustrating story. The cops brushing it off as nothing even though the it screamed foul play and the friends destroying all evidence. Unbelievable...
The fact that some neighbours refused to cooperate with the investigation certainly is shady if they didn't hear anything out of the ordinary in the apartment why didn't they just say so unless they have something to hide
In all honesty, that’s quite common within South Korea. While they have a huge gossip problem, a lot of crimes tend to show that they don’t like to insert themselves in business that isn’t there’s essentially. Ignore it completely. It’s not uncommon.
Not necessarily. Some people just don't want to be involved for many different reasons.
Some ppl are just shitty and have no empathy. I was nearly murdered in a stabbing, and when I was able to talk to the police and med outside, a neighbor got mad and yelled at me for sitting on the curb in front of his house. Right in front of police. Even though it was obvious something horrible just happened to me.
@Stang2023 I hate how this word still is synonymous with helping a victim of a crime.
Not really. Some people really prefer to mind their own business.
That video of the young woman going inside her apartment and the man missing the door by mere milliseconds never fails to send chills down my spine. This is why I'm adamant about making sure I watch my friends and family members get inside their apartments or houses before I drive away. A lot of times, these intruders will watch their targets for a couple of days so they can get to know their routine and find the perfect time to strike. Please, I urge everyone (male and female) to let someone walk you to your door, walk your friends and loved ones to their doors, let a neighbor know when you'll be back, etc. You can't be too careful out there.

Law enforcement all over the world is lax about stalking. Somehow, a veterinarian student abandoning her dogs to die a slow and agonizing pet so she could get some R&R is more believable; anything to blame the stalking victim.

The guy waiting 40 minutes for the woman behind her door sent shivers through my spine.
I do suppose it's possible that the professor blackmailed Kim into giving him the room passcode at some point... then told him to play dumb and delete the pc history for him. That's all I can think of if Kim didn't actually do the deed himself...
I feel very sad when cases get unresolved
The young lady is MISSING, under very odd circumstances, and the friends and sister clean up her apartment (destroying any valuable evidence) so as to protect her image from her parents? Perfect example of the culture overriding common sense! And the fact the police concluded that an animal lover would leave her pets unattended, likely to die of starvation, so that she could get some "rest and relaxation".... It boggles the mind how these geniuses made it though the police academy and are allowed to carry a badge!
Well she’s a woman in Asia. Their worth is low, culturally.
I believe that robbery was unrelated. It became the perfect cover for the real perpetrator because she told her close friends and family about it. He can point at that and say it must be them, they took the wallet, and come back for more. In many of these cases, it is someone the person knew. A classmate who wanted to be more than friends and was rejected. We know how that story goes.
They cleaned the entire apartment just because? 💀 They had NO idea that that would lead to issues? Lmao how obvious.
And if they simply wanted to make it look nice for her family, they wouldn’t have cleaned and sanitized it so thoroughly that there weren’t even fingerprints left.
@@Silencersixfr. Nobody does that. Who are they fooling with that bs lmfao
@Silencersix I think that's more on the police not doing their job properly, there's no way they could have cleaned it up that well to leave absolutely no fingerprints? plus I think they did have to sanitise it especially because there was dog pee/poop around the studio
The scariest part may be how equally suspicious all of the suspects are. As a woman, I feel for her. 💔
as a man, i feel for her.
I think it may have been some cooperation between Kim and Prof. Moon. They both had a thing for her and Moon had easy access to the incinerator.
Seriously. This poor woman had multiple men in her life who may have felt so entitled to her that they assaulted and killed her and may never receive justice.
My bet is on Professor Moon.
Why?
Her search history said sexual harassment versus assault.
That's typically a term used when someone who has a position over you is bothering you, such as a boss or a professor, etc.
I also think that it was the Professor who followed her into the bathroom at the bar. If it was Kim, why would he even divulge that information because the police might ask potential witnesses at the bar if they had noticed anyone following her into the bathroom and it might identify him.
The Professor would have unfettered access to every area of the school and tranquilizers at any time, day or night, but I doubt that students would have.
I think that Moon became infatuated with her, especially after she began tutoring his children.
I believe that Moon started messaging her inappropriately after he had verbally told her that he was interested in her.
After he followed her into the bathroom at the bar, she probably messaged him and told him that she was going to turn him in for harassment.
I think that he showed up at her apartment door asking for her to let him apologize, and she let her guard down and let him in, thinking that he was sincere.
Maybe he gave her some of the tranquilizer, SAd her, and killed her with the hammer?
As a Professor, Moon likely had a vehicle to transport her body in, whereas it doesn't appear that Kim had one.
As far as cleaning up the apartment goes, I have seen a lot of true crime videos where well-meaning family and friends cleaned up a potential crime scene of someone who had gone missing and later regretted doing so.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts.
This is a heartbreaking case. 💔
I feel awful for her elderly parents.
😢
Both suspects are equally suspicious however, I believe it would have been easier for the professor to dispose of the body without getting caught tipping me 60/40 for the professor.
@@willnestor6422 Maybe even both were involved in the coverup.

You are so respectful in the way you tell these stories.
Thank you SO much for covering these little-known cases in the western world. All victims deserve to have their stories told and publicized. All victims deserve justice. As long as this case goes unsolved, the rest of the world is at risk. I hope the authorities involved will take this case seriously and not rest until the perpetrator has been caught and sentenced.
Bro when the cops think a person who loved animals and was dedicating her life to helping them, would leave her 2 dogs to fend for themselves for days to just wander or party or whatever wasn't suspicious... I thought "How stupid can people be..." Then the friends cleaned the crime scene... *forehead slam!!!
Another weird detail about Kim is, why wouldn't he be one of the friends filing the missing persons report, if he was the last to see her? Why would he choose to stay and clean the apartment instead, unless he deliberately wanted to hinder the investigation?
Damn, I can't imagine the sister's reaction when she received that call. I 100% believe she was shocked, confused, relieved and ecstatic, only to later found out that the call was fake...
The Kim dude is hella suspicious 🤔
kim is the best
Kim either did it or had a major role to play in this, undoubtedly
leave kim alone alright
@@BoHror933 are you the kim police 😭
Undoubtedly you say??? You can never be 100% sure. The prof was known for being touchy feely around her which she didn't like... We don't know how he behaved when she was tutoring his kids... Could have been very creepy towards her.... Hell for all we know he was having an affair with her and she didn't want to continue it so he killed her or she wanted to expose him etc.... He also had easier access to the facilities to dispose of her without rousing suspicion. Suspicious absolutely but both are... We do not however have all the information and for all we know they could both be innocent and a 3rd party involved so lets keep words like undoubtedly out of the mix.
Ok. So the last guy to see her alive "cleans" the apt and bedsheets while others report her missing? Not at all suss. 🙄
I am STUNNED by the stupidity of some people... a female friend has gone missing- by all signs *clearly* against her will, and to "avoid embarrassing her parents" they get a bunch of cleaning products & erase every bit of possible evidence from the fucking crime scene. That's so completely boneheaded it's suspicious. Like a few other cases I've seen where the victim's friends, family or landlord inadvertently (?) compromise an entire crime scene & destroy any possible evidence, those people should blame only themselves when the case goes cold 😑😑😑 (this is directed at her female friend & her sister, who innocently, stupidly helped tidy up the crime scene- and even threw away a potentially crime-solving cigarette butt. 🙄)
Anyone complicit, I guess they can pat themselves on the back for playing a convincing moron
I'm not saying they definitely had something to do with the crime itself, but yeah it's pretty shady
I know! That part actually pissed me off.
They are definitely involved. Perhaps the two were working together, which was not speculated upon within this video.
Dude, this isn’t the west. They do things differently in Korea. Shame is a MAJOR deal and comes from something as little as a messy home. That shit damages families there.
@@emilydavis162 She should feel shame for getting abducted / murdered and letting her pets starve?
Imagine not trusting your police forces, and THEN you decide to “tidy up” the crime scene will trying to solve said crime.
Yeah it was pretty stupid to do that.
police force works for the state not you. Their interest is for you to pay taxes and obey authority not to protect you. Have the last years not proven this?
@@Ciprian-IonutPanait Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Take it easy, pal. No need to go ortshay usefay, I am just pointing out that sometimes people’s mistrust of authorities can lead to making some not-so-thought-out choices.
Like honestly the most incompetent bunch of ppl I’ve ever heard of. Literally did everything they could to make it as bad as possible to investigate 😢
27:34 great storytelling, sir! I love how you actually take time to construct a COMPELLING narrative. Most true crime content creators are NOT good at that. ‼️👏🏽
Kim makes total sense. He assaulted her on the way home she got in, not wanting to “overreact” she wanted to see the exact definitions of what happened. Then he got antsy and knew he had to keep her quiet
Kim definitely seems to be a prime suspect. However,about him acting dumb about the passcode it could be due to many reasons. Firstly,he may have been trying to protect Lee by keeping her vital info secure. Secondly,what if the two were actually more than just friends? Korea being extremely conservative about such things,revealing that he knew the passcode could've led to speculation and scandalized Lee. Thirdly,he may have been confused in the situation but the passcode being a very personal piece of information he decided against revealing it.
But the detail about him keeping a journal and collecting Lee's hair are giving full stalker vibes alongwith Lee's dad also calling him a stalker. Lee may have been a nice girl & may have decided to reciprocate Kim's obsession by giving him her friendship. The most sinister idea I have is that Kim confessed what he did to his friend & they purposely cleaned up everything. It's well nigh ludicrous that such well educated adults were unaware of how important a crime scene & DNA evidence is. Cleaning a little is acceptable but such a deep clean rings suspicion.
Weird you didn’t mention the clearing of her message history. Huge detail lmao.
let's say he didn't do it. okay so why didn't he enter her apartment to check on her well being when she didn't show up to multiple events? if had no way of contacting my friend and they've been missing for days I would enter their apartment to make sure nothing happened. at the very least he's an obsessive creep.
@@ShimmyFr we don't know if he deleted the history. a was there too. it's within the realm of possibilities that a did that. additionally, if kim is the kind of guy who refused to reveal he knows the passcode out of fear it might scandalize lee, then he's definitely also be the kind of guy who'd delete her message history if he saw something in them that he thought would paint her in a bad light.
@@starbutterfly4860 why should he care about all of those when his "friend" is MISSING... why are all of these trivial things so important to him when we are talking about his "friend" potentially being in DANGER... i mean they called the cops for a REASON!!!!!!! instead he deleted her chat history & cleaned the crime scene (not one, but TWO vital evidence for the investigation) all because he don't wanna bring shame to his friend that may end up DEAD because he just destroyed the evidence that could help the cops identify her whereabouts!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! yea that makes sense!!!!!!!!!
Why would you even slightly think cleaning up the place your friend was last seen is ok? Thats just crazy
Are the police that decided that the phone call was not connected to the case the same ones that determined there was nothing wrong with her starving dogs and ransacked apartment?
The friends should've known better not to clean up the crime scene.
Nah in korea they like people learning as little as needed, even south korea is guilty of it, so when they aren't told something they likely genuinely don't know to think about it
Prob Kim did it on purpose
At first when they said a couple people stayed behind I thought “oh good, they’ll keep people out of the crime scene!”
At best, both are colossal dumbf***s. At worst, one is a dumb**** and the other a murderer.
I love friends
Seems the deleted texts would be archived on the server... if only it was an actual priority for police
Service providers don't store all your text messages
@wheezesanchez5661 huh... they do here ... they're accessible with a warrant (even a geofence warrant), & are in fact collected without our consent by a government that assumes the constitution to be void.
All I'll say is, when it comes to trying to food, there is no such thing as 'out of a dog's reach'
Secretly collecting her hair? Yeah he did it
As soon as you said the dude started "accidently" cleaning the apartment, alarms went off.
My head hurts, the cops thinking she's just go for relax, and her friends cleaning up the rooms to save her from embarrassment.
Is everyone in this town a moron 😂😂😂?? Friends destroying evidence, a veterinarian leaving for "rest and relaxation" with her pets at home? C'mon bruh 😑
Kim is hella suspect!! No one could be that stupid to clean their missing friends apartment, that was intentional.
I’m going to secretly listen to this at work to pass the time haha
That's what I'm doing
Good for you! Boring jobs suck.
I’m sorry that your jobs are that insufferable. Been there done it.
@@sg-zd8eb not a very humble brag
Listening to this while learning to crochet
As for a reason as to why she might’ve opened the door for the professor, Mayhaps he offered her another chance for her test or extra credit.
yeah, or he said he wanted to apologize for his behavior or something like that
Thanks for shining a light on this very disturbing case. Poor Yoon-Hee.
One thing stands out. One of the men was in her apartment that day, fixing something. Very easy to watch her put in the numbers. But…I agree it’s her ‘friend’ or the professor.
Her poor folks.
A huge thank you for the reminder about polygraph tests!! Also, I don't want to be an armchair detective, but so many signs point to Kim... and some to professor Moon, too. I feel so sorry for her and her family, especially since they will most likely never know what happened to her... And I can't imagine being such a disgusting person as that "psychic". Why do people like this interfere with investigations and give false hope to families and other loved ones of missing people?
I believe the criminal is one of the people who cleaned her apartment. Especially that guy who claimed that it was ''shameful'' to leave her apartment in a mess.
He had access to tranqualizers and thus access to where the animal carcasses were being kept before being cremated.
Her apartment was a trap after she was robbed that night. She should have not returned there. This is so sad.
5:48 - Someone follows you into the toilet so you... immediately leave the safety of the group of friends you're with?
Those tissues they found in the apartment right across the street definitely had dna on them. It probably would’ve matched the cigarette butt on yoonhee’s veranda THAT GOT THROWN AWAY LIKE A FOOL! Or they could’ve seen if the BRAND was the same as the empty packs in the creeper apartment.
The creeper could’ve been class mates
It has to be that guy Kim, why was he not questioned properly? Just because he said he walked her home doesn’t mean anything! No proof!
Statistically, it was Kim. Most women who are murdered are murdered by the men closest to them, romantically. The fact that their romance did not get off the ground may have been because she did not feel that way. He was the only one to witness her coming out of the bathroom looking frightened. He was the last person to see her alive, by his own admittance. He had the code to her apartment. He could’ve gone in after her and he also lied about knowing the code. To save her honour? Feeding her dogs when she is away is nothing to be ashamed of.
As her father said Kim followed her around. Maybe she thought they were friends, but some people will pretend to be your friend if that’s the best they can get. He got drunk that night, he may have gone way too far and killed her when she resisted. He inserted himself into the search and cleaned her apartment after the crime. Occam’s razor.
Kim . 1. He new the pass code, but played dumb .
2. He cleaned the crime scene. 3. He was the last (supposedly innocent) person to see her alive , by his own admission , probably to explain why he was with her ... if anyone reported seeing them together . 4. He let her walk down the alley ALONE . If he was a good dude , and non threatening , there is NO reason for this .
Some thoughts , tho-
1. Sensing something bad HAD happened , he didn't want to let on he knew the code ( dumb , but understandable)
2. He (honestly) may have been trying to help his friend by cleaning.... NOT KNOWING what was up with her , and not wanting her to be embarrassed by the mess as her folks and others would be coming .
3. He MAY HAVE walked her home , just as he said , BUT - 4. didn't walk her down the alley on HER insistence , because she wanted to avoid an awkward scene at the door with her friend , who she knew was crushing on her .
This is why physical or eye witness evidence is SO crucial ... because a person's "Word" can be taken many ways .
Still , a journal of her activities, collecting her hairs etc. IS some bad lovesick behavior....it doesn't mean murder !
Also , the thieves had her identity , address , etc and could've easily scoped out the scene for a couple days and found convenient hiding spots , in the dark alley by her door , to way lay her , or spring from , the moment she opened the door .... as the young lady in the vid barely avoided !
No evidence she was disposed of at the school so the Prof. angle seems unlikely and the butts and tissues in the abandonded apt were prob an voyeuristic and horny maintenance guy.... who would have had access .
Just sooo messed up whoever hurt her , and my heart goes out to her poor family . Hope this WILL be solved someday , but don't see how . Sorry for the long comment . Bored . Lol
Dont party with your professors, kids.
That video was creepy as hell..I remember seeing a tiktok a while back where a south korean woman actually walked up to a streamer while he was live and just randomly struck up an awkward conversation like she knew him. Turns out she was being stalked by this guy nearby and wanted it to appear like the streamer was her friend so hed leave.
its similar in japan too. theres a dude who became a little known for it as it happen a few times on his irl streams. hes known as the angel of shibuya
I recently learned quite a bit about south Korea...to say that it is conservative doesnt do it justice...its downright misogynistic! Its extreme even in compare to other countries where misogynism is common, like China. Man I really feel bad for the women who end up in cases like these...and of course their families.
It depends on what culture/nation you’re part of, as to what you deem bad. South Korea may look like it’s full of feminists to those in Islamic states
I am Korean and I can second this. Even in events of SA, media and the public will often times put some blame on the woman for acting a certain way or leading. Women are expected to behave a certain way towards men which has caused men to feel a certain superiority over women. It's very much traditional when it comes to marriages and relationships.
Welcome to the World.
@@misscyanic2484yea westerners just make only fans and expect respect lmao y'all feminist ruined everything and I agree some men are pos but we ain't all like that just like women I was with an abusive pos chick skante got to her head
Part of it is the possessiveness, stalking, and post-breakup misbehavior. I'm a male and I've been stalked by Korean women. I always hate to take a shit at work out of respect for others, so they don't walk into a stinky situation. One night, I really needed to go and as soon as I got home from work, I sat my cell phone down on the counter without even turning the light to my apartment on, and walked into the restroom to take a shit. I did turn the restroom light on. No sooner than I sat down, I heard my phone vibrate. I waddled/shimmied with my pants around my ankles out of the bathroom to my phone. It was an ex-girlfriend. She asked where I was and I told her I had just gotten home from work. She asked me if I was sure. I chuckled and said I'm either at home or I'm about to take a shit in someone ELSE's bathroom. She said, "But your light isn't on." And her home was around an hour away from mine. That was soooooo weird and creepy.
I'm friends with all of my ex-girlfriends, except the Korean ones because they ALWAYS do weird stalker-type stuff and not just one I talked about earlier. One often left really long back-to-back-to-back messages on my answering machine when I was at work every day, back when landlines were still normal. Long-winded, foul-mouthed rants, saying my dick is so small and it was so sad I didn't have a girlfriend anymore, that her new boyfriend makes so much money compared to me, et cetera, along with really disturbing, mental stuff that I don't wish to repeat. Ghosting is extremely common after break-ups in Korea for this reason. Both genders. None of my American, Palestinian, Turkish, or Vietnamese ex-girlfriends ever did anything like that and I'm still on good terms with all of them, especially my high school sweetheart. But breakups here in Korea just cause some really weird, creepy, messed-up behavior.
It's not just the ladies. I've heard stories about the gentlemen too. It's just that my personal experiences were from dating women.
ANY person who loves animals would NEVER leave their pets alone! In the very least they would leave plenty of food & water out for them. How sad that her room was cleaned and valuable evidence could have been collected was lost.
It's more likely that it's Kim because he offered to clean up the crime scene and only he can have the time long enough to access to Yoon-hee's computer and deleted the search history
I have never been scared as badly as when you shouted "on the other hand, what the hell"!!!!!
is there no finger prints on the laptop where they found deleted search history that were not hers? or did they not even bother to look for that
The moment you said they cleaned the apartment, I literally gasped out loud.
The level of pure stupidity and lack of common sense by her friends, family, and law enforcement snowballed. They couldn't have helped the killer(s) anymore if they'd been part of it.
the creepy guy and the teacher probably worked together. the professor would have had access to the drugs found at her apartment and access to the incinerator, while creepy guy was still under the radar as "ok" or "timidly safe" in her eyes, would have had access to her home and probably had access to her computer either before or during the assault that claimed her life. Then disposing of the hammer in a plastic bag in any waterway would have been all that's needed. South Korea has an insane misogyny problem, to the point where their birth rate is lower than japans bc women at large are so fed up and DONE with them. It's called the 4B's, and i know this took place before the movement started in 2019 but the ideas have been percolating for decades- these things don't just come from nowhere. I'm willing to bet the men responsible felt entitled to her and felt wronged bc of her choice not to engage with them.
Imagine being the two friends who went to file the missing persons report, only to come back and see the other two had cleaned up the potential crime scene. Shivers
30:17 ₩100M is currently just over $75k in US Dollars or €69k, just for anyone wondering.
Damn , rich sad lol alot . They fucked up destroying the evidence
The lack of common sense in these murder cases is truly frightening she's reported missing but no cops investigated the apartment just let her friend/murders clean the place no CCTV must exist either it's like the cops are in on some of these cases that's how stupid they are just like missing 411 we have a ex special forces tracker that knows how to live in the wild for months yet he later dies from hyperthermia and that's an open and closed case like wtf
I think the professor lured her back under the guise that maybe she could do her exam again to get extra points, because she was upset about not doing well.
Who are these people that police claim just 'decide to vanish' without telling anyone?? I'm sure it might happen from time to time but its surely not the normal. If people are saying it's out of character, and it LOOKS suspicious, SHES FECKIN MISSING.
It's more common then murder.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr majority of people don’t leave their pets to starve for days though. I know as a pet owner I wouldn’t. Even if she did just disappear, as a cop, it’s your job to still look for them. Not all people missing are murdered but many often are.
You're uploading more often, that makes me happy. Keep going, love your content Lazy
The moment the friends started cleaning her room I audible said oh no. It was such a big mistake to do!
So, I guess all those Korean crime movies are correct where they all show that Korean police are super incompetent.
10mins after upload and less than 100 comments! This has never happened to me before and I've been watching Lazy for over 5 years! Lazy is my absolute favorite UA-camr! Thank you for everything you do for us!
I don't buy that she would have left on her own and forgot her dogs. Nobody who has ever had any pets, even less someone studying to become a veterinarian, would leave pets of any kind unattended for longer than their usual day. Either she'd have found some place to board them or ask someone she knew to watch and take care of them or, in an extreme case where she knew she wouldn't be coming back, she'd have given them away.
And her throwing out her hammer and prize coffee table is a notion I find dubious. If she was the DIY type and had a good relationship with her parents, then that particular gift from her father would probably be something she'd never want to part with, even after it was old and worn out to the point of uselessness for sentimental reasons. And the table, well, that's utility. If she had left on her own and intended to come back far sooner than the point of her dogs being weak from having not eaten for so long, she'd still have used it.
And look, I know Eastern Asian cultures operate on shame and respectfulness and all that, but cleaning the apartment when there is reason to suspect a crime had been committed? Really? Everyone knows a crime scene needs to stay the way it was first discovered, regardless of country and culture, so the police can conduct a proper investigation. It does not take a true crime fan or crime scene investigator to point that out. I'm sorry to say, but that right there makes it look to me like her friends covered up her murder.
funny how when somone passes the lie detector test, it's always "unreliable." but when they fail it, it's a sign of guilt. It needs to be one or the other.
26:59 “on the other hand, what the HELL”
INDEED, SIR. Kim REEKS of foul play 😑
I really appreciate that you talk about cases from other countries. There are so many people who go missing that don't get talked about because they aren't from an English speaking country.
UA-cam when you say a no no word : 😡
UA-cam when you're a pron bot : 😀

I love this moment simply because we rarely hear Lazy take this kind of tone in his videos and I couldn't help but laugh too.
I know that is not new, but I love the intro referencing Resident Evil 1
This is my favorite true crime case. Thank you for covering it
