In 'The Psychopath I Met', Jeon Hyun-moo, Kyuhyun, Nukssal, and Huh Young-ji expressed anger and shock at the brutal reality of kidnapping and confinement crimes hidden in everyday life.
The 4th episode, which aired on the 2nd, featured the theme 'Find Me' and highlighted shocking true stories of psychopaths who completely stripped others of their freedom and lives for their own purposes.
In the first episode, the shocking true nature of in-laws who confined a daughter-in-law who had decided to divorce after enduring her husband's domestic violence was revealed. When the daughter-in-law demanded a divorce, the in-laws assumed she had committed infidelity and participated in assault and confinement, even placing actual police handcuffs that they had picked up from an old clothes donation bin on her. The court sentenced the mother-in-law to 8 months in prison with a 2-year suspended sentence and fined the father-in-law 10 million won, and the cast members did not hide their anger, calling it a lenient punishment.
Following an episode that instilled greater fear than real incidents, a 28-year-old job seeker was kidnapped after applying for a high-paying part-time job to raise money for her father's medical bills. The victim was confined to a remote location, had her ID and mobile phone taken away, and in just a few minutes, she was burdened with 111 million won in debt through jeonse deposit loans and high-interest credit loans. In response to the crime that exploited a desperate situation, Huh Young-ji cried out and vented her frustration.
In the 'Psychocast' segment, bizarre and audacious criminal acts were consecutively covered. Nukssal introduced the case of a man who lured a middle school girl, put handcuffs on her, and wrote a breeding diary on his computer, attempting to raise her as his ideal type. Jeon Hyun-moo revealed a twist in a kidnapping case of a middle school girl that occurred in the middle of Hongik University Station in Seoul. The student turned out to be a cash collector for a voice phishing organization disguised as a high-income part-time job, and when she ran away with 27 million won in cash, the organization members carried out a kidnapping in broad daylight. Attorney Lee Kyung-min warned of the increasing reality of scams involving teenagers in their 10s, noting that a seemingly simple part-time job could lead to involvement in serious crimes.
The cast expressed vigilance, saying that reality can be more frightening than movies, and Attorney Lee Kyung-min emphasized that as criminal methods become increasingly sophisticated, the legal system needs to be more thoroughly refined. 'The Psychopath I Met' airs every Sunday at 10:20 p.m.
