20 Police Officers Listened On The Phone As He Sliced Her Into 365 Pieces To Make Human Flesh Pills

bada bing bada boom

There's a very famous apartment unit in South Korea

This one apartment unit was all over the news for months

I mean almost everyone in Korea at the time knew about it

And it's interesting because typically South Korean apartments

will go viral for being expensive

There's complexes like [] in South Korea

We briefly covered it on my other channel

[]

but it almost has this black mirror feeling to it

It's like a fortress in the middle of Seoul, South Korea

Even in order to get in

Not into somebody's personal unit

But just onto the grounds

The walking path outside

You need to pass a four step verification system

The complex is like a city inside a city

It's really crazy

A lot of kpop idols live there

And typically these units will go viral

Because a kpop idol will come

And drop seven million in cash for it

fifteen million in cash for it

and it's all over the news

You don't really hear about random regular apartments

going viral

This one bedroom apartment

went viral for what happened inside

you step inside this unit

and you're going to feel like

you're in some sort of serial killer's bunker

The place is foul

Even just looking at pictures of it

There's not many surfaces

It's barely furnished

But the few flat surfaces there are

They're greasy

They're not even sticky looking, they look greasy

Like they're covered slick and oil

The whole place is said to smell like

perpetually wet towels

It's like there were towels bunched up

and thrown into the corner and just forgotten

That pungent sour mildew smell

The whole place is a mess

It looks almost trashed

There's women's feminine pads littered all over the place

Except there's no women that lives there

There's dozen of graphic photos of women

Just laying around on the floor, on the bed, on the desk

Next to crumpled up dirty tissues

There's poisonous snake liquor bottles in the restroom

Wait, poisonous snake liquor bottle?

What is that

Where they put a dead poisonous snake into the liquor

OhooOhh

Yeah we talked about it in the North Korea case

Yeah
- Yeah yeah yeah

Now business cards for traveling sex workers

"We come to you" they say

All cramped into two hundred square feet

Even the door to the unit

It's this storage shed looking steel door

No peephole, just a random dirty steel door

Bolted to the side of a brick building

Right when you walk in

The whole place is said to be very dark

On the left there's a small kitchen

Refrigerator, sink, kitchen knives

Then to your right

There's a door to the bathroom

You don't even need to walk in

To know that the entire room is gonna reek of stale urine

For whatever reason, if you do decide to keep walking in

Deeper into the unit

You step further in

You're gonna see a bedroom

It's even more grimy

There's a dirty bed pushed up against the wall

Open suitcases all over the floor

They're all stuffed with dirty clothes

Dirty underwear is poking out

with marks on them

It's nasty

Look, some psychiatrists believe

the home is a window into the patient's mind

Which if that's the case

Whatever is going on in this apartment,

It's not looking good

But it is absolutely perfect

For forty one year old

Oh Won (오원)

This is his kitchen

He's got his washing machine in the unit

What more can he ask for

And the rent is only a hundred fifty dollars a month

And more importantly the neighbors do not bother him

That is the most important thing to this man

To get into a flow state

He needs complete and utter privacy, isolation

The night of April first, Sunday night

Oh Won is getting into his next at home project

Everything is just set up for success

He's got a whole bottle of his favorite Chinese liquor

Fifty five percent alcohol by volume

Vodka is about forty percent

This is stronger

And he drinks it like water

He sips on it all day long since he got home

He's still sober, but the alcohol is making him dehydrated

Every sip that he takes

His dry cracked lips are sticking to his rotting yellow teeth

He's wiping his lips with the back of his hand

And he's grabbing his phone

Because it's that time again

He feels the urge

First, the urge starts in his stomach

But then it's basically autopilot mode

He's staring at the screen swiping, swiping

And it's a whole debate

Does he finish the video that he started earlier

Or does he find a completely new more exciting video

Maybe go with the unknown?

It could be his comfort video

Just playing in the background while he works

He presses play, and he puts his phone up against the bathroom sink

And the woman's moaning is just echoing off the bathroom wall

He lights a cigarette, squats down

with his eight inch kitchen knife

And starts moving it back and forth

He has a plastic bag next to him

And he starts slicing

Thin, uniform slices of meat

Like the ones your get at hotpot or shabu-shabu

And the key is that each cut has to be uniform

All the same thickness and size

It's the most enjoyable for consumption that way

He makes another thin slice

He looks up, stares at his phone

And the woman is still making explicit noises

Because it's an adult video

He makes another slice, looks up

The woman on his screen is now screaming

He makes another slice, looks up

The woman on his screen is close to crying now

Before Oh Won knew it

six hours has passed

He had fallen into his flow state

He had three hundred and sixty five plus pieces of meat

Cut meticulously in uniform and sized thin pieces

He's portioned them out

And placed them into seventeen separate black plastic bags

And now all that's left really

Are just the bones

And the parts that don't really matter

He flips over the piece that he's been working on all morning

And he stares at her face

He didn't take any meat from there

Because you know those fish drawings

Where it shows the fish's head and tail are intact

But the middle part are all bones

Her face and hair were still intact

But below her neck

Every piece of her body

All the flesh, had been sliced off

Up until her knees

He had deboned her

(eerie music)

But a few quick disclaimers before we get started

The identity of the victim in today's case is protected

and she is often referred to as

[?]

Or just "the victim" in official sources

Because of that, unfortunately there's just gonna be

a lot less of a focus on the victim's life before the crime

However the victim's family have been very outspoken

about their thoughts of the handling of this case

So this episode is going to primarily focus more on that

and an additional note

The family members have also chosen to stay anonymous as well

Lastly, the theory included in today's video

is not just an internet theory

It was actually debated in court during the trial

And the victim's family firmly believes this to be the truth

So we're not diving into a deep sensitive online theory

I mean, this is truly

what the victim's family believe happened to their loved ones

Or at least they believe there is a strong connection here

So with that being said, let's get into it

A few years ago

At [] International Airport in South Korea

Customs officers are doing routine checks

in the incoming luggage

They're expecting occasional expected violations

Prohibited food items, live wildlife

I mean, you would surprised

At how often people try to smuggle in

live animals into a foreign country

Live tarantulas, pigeons wrapped in padded envelopes

Stranger things have happened in the customs department

But they're like, "wait.

don't let that one through,

the scans are all ringing off on that one"

The customs officers, they pull a few suitcases off to the side

They open them up, and they're just staring at each other

They're staring at thousands

almost twenty thousands

or not even just thousands

like think about twenty thousand pills

stuffed into clear ziploc plastic bags

capsules or?

capsules!

clear capsules that have this weird dark orange

almost brownish powder inside

no label, no identifying markers, no bottle

Just pills inside of plastic bags

I mean, they do kind of look like supplements, but

I mean, do you really need seventeen thousand pills

in a plastic bag for a light vacation?

no, what is it? labels, nothing?

nothing. not even a note.

Is this just magnesium? nothing

not suspicious at all

yeah, and so South Korea being South Korea

the first thought they have is drugs

we have just stumbled upon a massive narcotic smuggling operation

To them this is El Chapo level activity

They confiscate all the pills

They start testing every single one of them

"what the hell is in this?"

Apparently the pills were being smuggled into Korea

And being advertised as performance enhancing pills

For vitality and sex drive

It's supposed to boost your stamina

Beyond that, they have no idea what this pill is for

Some people say, "actually, that pill cures cancer.

it cures everything.

If you've got a problem, you take these pills.

That's why we're bringing it into South Korea to save South Koreans."

That's the thing, right?

But no label?

No label! Nothing. It's a magic pill to fix your life's problem

and your entire body

You can't get excited during intimate time?

Take this pill.

Do you have a terminal illness?

Take this pill.

Ok, so what are they made out of?

Illegally strong Viagra? Methamphetamines? Fentanyl?
