Explore the early‑2000s South Korean boom that masked widening class divides and gender inequities, culminating in a series of brutal murders targeting marginalized women and affluent men. The killer’s meticulous methods, symbolic notes, and “cleansing” rhetoric exposed societal tensions, prompting a breakthrough forensic link, a high‑profile trial, and lasting reforms in victim protection, policing, and mental‑health policy. The case reshaped public discourse on inequality, misogyny, and justice.
