'Stories That Follow Each Other' (hereinafter 'Kkoko-mu') features Ryu Soo-young sharing an anecdote about nearly losing her daughter.

'Kkoko-mu,' airing on the 30th on SBS's variety program, is presented as the first episode of its special series, 'Finding Long-term Missing Children.' The listeners include actors Ryu Soo-young and Geum Sae-rok, and Shinyu of the boy group Tour.

'Kkoko-mu' will trace the horrific serial kidnapping case that occurred in a single village starting in 1991, marking the official launch of its nationwide project to find long-term missing children.

'The Daecheon Infant and Toddler Serial Kidnapping, Murder, and Disappearance Case' involves five children living in one village who were either abducted or murdered at different times: a 2-month-old boy, a 15-day-old boy, a 4-month-old girl, a 6-day-old girl, and a 5-year-old girl. All five cases remain unsolved, and some of the victims are still missing.

'Kkoko-mu' highlights the abduction and murder of the 5th-year-old girl, the last of the five cases, which caused immense shock due to its brutality. The five-year-old girl, who had been sleeping with her mother, vanished without a trace and was found murdered in a field the following afternoon at 6 p.m. A reporter who covered the case at the time explained the gruesome details, noting, "The fact that her organs were damaged was shocking enough," leaving the studio filled with horror and despair. Geum Sae-rok expressed her anger, saying, "I'm so angry," while Shinyu of Tour struggled to continue, stating, "This is truly unbelievable."

'Kkoko-mu' features Ryu Soo-young, a father raising a daughter, who shares, "I almost lost my daughter too," recounting the dizzying moment when his daughter slipped out of his sight. He then describes the hellish experience of searching for his daughter for 30 seconds, empathizing with the despair felt by parents of missing children before breaking down in tears.

'Kkoko-mu' also launches a nationwide project to find long-term missing children in celebration of May, the Month of Families. The project utilizes the latest generative AI-based age progression technology from the KIST AI and Robotics Research Institute to create videos estimating the current appearance of long-term missing children.
