The truth of the "Cheongsan Gari Makgeolli Murder Case," which has been overturned in 16 years, has been revealed.

Who is the real culprit in "The Story of the Day Who Bites His Tail" ("Kkokkomu") that aired on the 26th? - In the episode of "Suncheon Cheongsan-gari Makgeolli Case", the whole story and the retrial process of the case that was found innocent after 16 years were disclosed. Singer Son Dam-bi, broadcaster Lee Kuk-ju, and band Lucy's Shin Ye-chan joined as listeners to share the stories of the people who ate.

The incident occurred in September 2009 in a rural village in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province. Choi and a resident died after a woman in her 50s and residents drank makgeolli together. At that time, makgeolli had turned black, and poison cyanide (potassium cyanide) far exceeding the lethal dose was detected. The case was later called the Cheongsan-gari Makgeolli Murder Case.

After the investigation, the prosecution announced that it had identified the culprit. The suspect was the victim's husband and daughter. The prosecution claimed that the father and daughter left makgeolli with cyanide inside the house as if someone had left it, and that the father handed it to his wife. It also announced that the two had planned to commit the crime about a month ago and committed the murder while continuing a 15-year unscrupulous relationship. Eventually, in 2012, the court sentenced her daughter to 20 years in prison and her father to life in prison.

The case seemed to have concluded that way, but 12 years later, it was turned over by lawyer Park Joon-young, who specializes in retrial. "I was very shocked when I watched the video," he said. "How can a person crush another person like this and use it as a means of performance. I felt like I was seeing so much devastation about human rights and dignity," he said at the time.

The CCTV of the prosecution's investigation he secured showed the process of making a confession. The scene where the investigator first told the contents of the case and induced the statement was repeated, and it was also confirmed that the daughter pressured her to point out her father as an accomplice. Experts pointed out the possibility that her daughter was psychologically vulnerable to this pressure.

My father was also under strong pressure during the investigation. He said sorry to his wife, but this was guilt for letting makgeolli into the house. However, the prosecution manipulated it like a murder confession. In order to protect his daughter, the father even confessed a false confession. The cast couldn't speak at his appearance on CCTV. Son Dam-bi said, "Wouldn't I just have a heart to protect my daughter?" Lawyer Park Joon-young said, "It completely destroyed a family. "How can you make innocent people such vicious criminals?" he said angrily.

An application for a retrial was filed in January 2022, and the court accepted it. At the start of the retrial, an order to suspend the execution of the sentence was issued, which was the first time in the judicial history of the Republic of Korea. Through this, the father and daughter were able to leave prison for the first time in 12 years.

On this day's broadcast, the father and daughter revealed their faces through "Kkkkomu." My father, who was 59 years old at the time, turned 75. "I can't tell you," he said of the last time. There are only amazing things," he couldn't easily say. The daughter was interviewed for the first time through 'Kkkomu' after the incident. The 25-year-old young figure has already reached the middle age of 41. When asked about his prison life, he opened his mouth with difficulty, saying, "It was a little hard," and said, "I couldn't look at my father. I only felt guilty that everything was because of me," he confessed, making viewers cry.

New evidence was found during the retrial. The records, which were not submitted by the prosecution, included more than 70 data indicating the possibility of the father and daughter's innocence. In particular, it was found that the amount of cyanide did not match the "purchase of makgeolli" situation that the prosecution claimed. The listeners who heard this are "Goosebumps" and "shameless" in one voice. I don't understand," he said, unable to hold back his anger.

In October 2025, a retrial court acquitted the father and daughter. It was 16 years after the incident. But the case is not completely over. Police records showed that another suspect existed, and in November 2025, police announced a full re-investigation of the case. Finally, the father said what he wanted to say the most in his own writing. All the listeners couldn't hold back their tears when their father said, "I've been living hard just looking forward."

At the end of the broadcast, the so-called "Telegram Drug King" Park Wang-yeol was repatriated to Korea, drawing attention. The released video showed Park Wang-yeol, who was repatriated to Korea through Incheon International Airport, consistently responding silently to reporters' questions.

On January 15, "Kkkomu" tracked down Park Wang-yeol's shocking crimes from sugar cane murder to Telegram drug supply through "Special Target K-The Birth of the Devil" and urged him to take him to a Korean court. In particular, Park Wang-yeol's crimes, including ordering the distribution of drugs even after he was imprisoned in a prison in the Philippines, sparked anger among viewers.

Since then, the Korean government has officially requested the Philippines to deliver Park Wang-yeol, and the repatriation of Park Wang-yeol to Korea has accelerated. Park Wang-yeol was finally repatriated to Korea on the 25th, leading to a big topic. "Kkokkomu" MC Jang Sung-kyu said, "Isn't it because there are still things that can be changed and the reason why we need to remember the past events?" and said that "Kkokkomu" will continue to deliver a story that should not be forgotten.
