MBC's 'Real-Life Investigation Team' is investigating a case involving a man charged with causing a fatal accident while driving over 190 km/h with his two daughters in the car, along with allegations of illegal filming, assault, and intimidation.
The first segment of the show, airing on August 20, covers the details of a traffic accident that occurred in January.
The victim, identified as Young-hoon (pseudonym), had been working as a motorcycle delivery driver for two years to support his family. Despite working late into the night, he also helped his parents. Tragically, he passed away at the age of 30 in January.
The accident happened shortly after 9 p.m. when a vehicle traveling at over 190 km/h collided with Young-hoon's motorcycle.
According to the production team, the driver exited the vehicle after the crash and was heard cursing at the scene, attempting to distance himself from the incident.
At the time of the accident, the driver's blood alcohol level was 0.211%, significantly above the legal limit for license suspension. His two daughters, aged 6 and 4, were also in the vehicle.
About seven months after the incident, in early August, Young-hoon's parents reviewed the black box footage from the offending vehicle.
The video captured conversations between the driver and his daughters. The children pleaded, saying, "Mom, I'm scared," and "Please go slowly," while also crying to be let out of the car. However, reports indicate that the vehicle's speed increased instead.
The production team has obtained the driver's statement to investigate how he describes the events surrounding the accident.
The second segment of the show addresses a case of assault, intimidation, and illegal filming that emerged after a couple's divorce.
Ho-jun (pseudonym) received shocking revelations from his ex-wife, Seo-yeon (pseudonym), five months after their divorce. She disclosed that she had been involved with another man, Hwang (pseudonym), for about two years prior to their separation.
Their relationship began in 2020 at a friend's store, where Hwang expressed strong interest in Seo-yeon. However, when she indicated her desire to end the relationship, Hwang allegedly became violent.
Hwang reportedly threatened Seo-yeon, saying he would inform her husband about their relationship and send intimate videos to her son, demanding that she divorce him.
Fearing that the videos might reach her son, Seo-yeon claimed she found it difficult to refuse Hwang's demands. She also reported that verbal abuse, physical violence, and sexual harassment followed.
Allegations of illegal filming have also surfaced. Hwang's former girlfriend claimed he had been collecting illegal recordings of multiple women. The production team has gathered testimonies from individuals who witnessed Hwang's illegal filming and showed the footage to others.
Seo-yeon learned through police investigations that there were numerous recordings she was previously unaware of. She has filed charges against Hwang for illegal filming, assault, intimidation, stalking, filming material intimidation, and causing bodily harm through rape. A trial regarding six related charges took place in June.
'Real-Life Investigation Team' will air the details of both cases, including the claims of the parties involved, the investigation, and the trial process, today at 9 p.m.
