'Curious Story Y' delves into the truths behind the Yangju child death case and the Ulsan taxi driver's weapon rampage incident.

In the SBS current affairs and documentary program 'Curious Story Y' airing on the 1st, the Yangju child death case and the Ulsan taxi driver's weapon rampage incident will be covered.

First, the program will look into the 'Yangju child abuse death case.' Three-year-old Sumin (pseudonym), praised by both kindergarten teachers and neighboring mothers, was suddenly rushed to the emergency room on April 9. The child's condition was critical, teetering on the brink of death. She suffered extensive brain hemorrhaging on the left side of her head, and bruises were found on her ears, ankles, knees, and jaw. After undergoing emergency brain surgery, Sumin fought for her life but ultimately passed away five days later.

Currently, the person suspected of causing Sumin's death is none other than her biological father, Mr. Park (pseudonym). However, Mr. Park completely denies all allegations of abuse related to the child's death.

While interviewing people close to the biological father, the production team learned that Mr. Park's usual attitude toward Sumin was different from how he treated other children. Sumin's family was a rare multi-child household. Unlike her older siblings, Sumin was noticeably small, and acquaintances witnessed Mr. Park flying into a rage and abusing her over minor mistakes. Friends had warned Mr. Park multiple times out of concern for Sumin. It was later confirmed that a suspicion report regarding child abuse against Mr. Park had already been filed once before.

The doctor who treated Sumin stated, "Seeing blood coming from both ear canals, I suspected she had been struck on both cheeks and filed a child abuse report."

On December 24 last year, Sumin fell while walking home and was taken to a local clinic by a daycare teacher. The doctor treating Sumin noticed something suspicious. Not only were there bruises of different colors spreading from her forehead to her cheeks, but her demeanor while being treated also appeared withdrawn. Following the doctor's child abuse report, what investigation did the police and the local government conduct? Why was no one able to prevent the child's death?

Next, 'Curious Story Y' examines the chilling true face of taxi driver Mr. Park, who hid behind dazzling lights.

On the roads of Ulsan Metropolitan City, there is a famous attraction known even to citizens who don't know it as a spy. This unique taxi, decorated with dazzling lights and lively music to make the interior feel like a performance venue, is the star. The taxi, conceived and personally modified by driver Mr. Park (pseudonym), was so well-known in the region that it was featured on a variety show. Mr. Park, who ran his own YouTube channel and always appeared humorous and cheerful in front of passengers, shocked everyone with a shocking incident early on April 27.

That day, Mr. Park met with fellow taxi driver Mr. Moon (pseudonym), with whom he had recently had conflicts. Upon Mr. Moon's arrival at the meeting place, Mr. Park mercilessly swung a weapon he had prepared in advance. Not only did he stab Mr. Moon's abdomen multiple times, but he also reportedly charged at him with the intent to cut his throat. He even chased a witness at the scene with the weapon, causing a rampage. What was the reason for this horrific act by a man who found joy in life in spreading bright energy to people? Behind the incident lay an ugly truth.

The reason Mr. Park swung the weapon was none other than to cover up the fact that he had sexually harassed a minor passenger. Among fellow taxi drivers, he was already known as someone who had an abnormal obsession with female passengers. In particular, Mr. Park showed excessive interest in minor passengers. What was the true face of taxi driver Mr. Park, who was hailed as a famous figure in Ulsan?
