'What Is Going On?' investigates the truth behind the death of a 20-year-old youth who reported sexual assault.

In an episode airing on the 15th, SBS's 'What Is Going On?' traces the truth within cases involving two victims who reported sexual assault but received non-prosecution decisions from the police.

◆ The Secret Hidden Behind the Death of a 20-Year-Old Youth

Chae Dan-bi, a 20-year-old youth known for her kind and gentle personality who dreamed of becoming a police officer to uphold social justice. Around 3 a.m. on February 21, her emergency call was received by 119. She had climbed onto the rooftop railing of a building in Ansan, implying she no longer had the will to live.

Dan-bi left a final farewell to her mother before ultimately taking her own life. A shocking blow delivered to her family who could not understand what happened. Two months prior, they learned that she had reported being sexually assaulted at a bar where she worked part-time.

◆ Was It Not Intoxication or Sexual Assault?

A drinking session reportedly began around 4 a.m. on December 28 last year after work ended. Around 11:30 a.m., when other employees had left and only the 40s-aged owner remained, footage captured the owner appearing to embrace Dan-bi from behind and drag her away. Dan-bi claimed she was dragged into a blind spot of the CCTV while intoxicated and sexually assaulted.

She reported the incident to the police immediately that day, but two months later, the police investigation concluded with a non-prosecution decision citing 'no grounds for suspicion.' The police determined that Dan-bi was not in a state where resistance was impossible and that sexual relations occurred by mutual consent. Three days after receiving the non-prosecution notice, Dan-bi made an extreme choice. What is the truth of that day captured on CCTV?

◆ Are Contradictory Investigations a Game of Chance?

Another victim, Jeong Yeon-su (pseudonym), who was subjected to group sexual assault in her third year of middle school. After suffering abuse and having videos distributed, she mustered the courage as an adult to sue the perpetrators. However, it is reported that the police made a non-prosecution decision citing 'insufficient evidence' regarding charges of special rape.

Yeon-su subsequently had to seek out evidence of the crime herself. It is reported that through the dramatic intervention of the Prosecution Service directing a reinvestigation, the perpetrators were indicted and convicted. How could her fate, which faced difficulties similar to Dan-bi's during the police investigation, be turned around? Airing at 11:10 p.m. on the 15th.
