On the 30th, KBS 2TV's "Smoking Gun" will report on the "Sister Sexual Assault Case."

On the evening of February 6, 2015, 24-year-old Lee Seo-yoon, precariously hanging from the railing of Hannam Bridge, was dramatically rescued by police. A suicide note found at her home read, "I miss my older sister so much." Investigation revealed that Seo-yoon's biological older sister had passed away a year earlier. What exactly had happened to the sisters?

The shocking truth came to light when the eldest daughter turned 20. The eldest daughter confessed to her mother that she had been sexually harassed and sexually assaulted by her father since she was young, with the abuse beginning when she was just four years old. Her biological father continued the abuse, telling his daughter, "This is hospital play between dad and you. You must never tell anyone." Though she mustered the courage to seek help from her grandmother, what she received was not protection but forced silence. The grandmother scolded her granddaughter and silenced her, pushing the young victim deeper into isolation. Even after her parents divorced, the abuse continued. The biological father would call his daughter out on her way home from school to commit the abuse and hand her money. The victim later wrote in counseling records, "Whenever I went to meet my father, it felt like I was engaging in prostitution."

Lee Ji-hye, who learned of the case, expressed deep sorrow, saying, "I wonder how terrified the child must have been to ask for a lock to be installed on the door. It was most shocking that the child who had sought help was instead forced into silence." Ahn Hyun-mo also stated, "It is unbelievable that the child was hurt by the adults she should have trusted most, within the home that should have been the safest place. Especially heartbreaking is that even after reporting the abuse, she was not protected."

On this day's broadcast, actor Kang Seok-woo made a special appearance, directly reading a letter sent by the actual victim to a radio program while she was still alive. Confronted with the letter again, Kang Seok-woo said, "It is not your fault. You must find a way to escape this situation no matter what." He added, "There are definitely people in this world who will reach out to those seeking help," leaving a profound impact. He then revealed his poignant feelings, saying, "Looking back now, I thought that letter was a message for others, but it seems it was actually a cry for help extended to us."

Meanwhile, on this day's broadcast, former Seoul National Police Agency Sexual Violence Special Investigation Team Inspector Park Mi-hye, who directly investigated the case, appeared to reveal the process by which the case, buried for over 20 years, finally came to light. Furthermore, lawyer Seo Hye-jin will address the legal issues surrounding familial sexual crimes and the statute of limitations.
