The Korean Dream

from Korean True Crime · host Mimi Mizicko

In October 2001, sixty migrants boarded a smuggling ship from China to South Korea in search of a better life. To avoid detection by a maritime patrol, the crew forced twenty-five of those people into a tiny, airtight gear locker. After three hours, only thirty-five would emerge from the ship alive.Find our merch here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://koreantruecrime-shop.fourthwall.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our discord today!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you enjoy Korean True Crime, please rate, follow, and send feedback!
