Tourist Trap (Case of Choi Se-yong)
from Korean True Crime · host Mimi Mizicko
On July 9th, 2007, a 25-year-old currency exchange worker in Anyang was found murdered beneath her boss's desk. For five years, the case went cold while a group of men fled across borders to build a "murder enterprise" in the Philippines. They didn't just kidnap for ransom; staged scandals to extort Korean tourists into a silence that lasted nearly a decade. It would take a father’s tragic letter and a cellmate's confession to finally uncover the secrets buried beneath a living room floor in Manila.Find our merch here: https://koreantruecrime-shop.fourthwall.comJoin our discord today!
