The turbulent life and shocking truth of Lee Soo-geun, who was reduced from a hero to a double spy and hanged in 54 days, will be revealed.

SBS's "The Story of the Day with the Tail" (hereinafter referred to as "Kkkomu"), which airs at 10:20 p.m. on the 19th, tells the story of Lee Soo-geun's fake spy manipulation that Lee Soo-geun, who was praised as a "freedom warrior" after defecting to South Korea in search of freedom and was found to be a double spy and was executed in the morning, was not a double spy.

Lee Soo-geun is a former Kim Il-sung journalist who served as a vice president of North Korea's only state-run news agency. When he comes to Panmunjom to report, he immediately becomes a hero after hitting a North Korean military breaker in the pouring bullets. At that time, there was a rumor that it was so popular that more than 100,000 people gathered to see Lee Soo-geun, the "Freedom Warrior." He took the lead in praising South Korea's freedom by acting as an "anti-communist lecture one-stroke instructor," and even a movie was made based on him.

However, it did not take much time for the situation to change 180 degrees. It turned out that Lee Soo-geun was a "double spy" who was sent to the South by Kim Il-sung's order. Public praise was reversed with anger when it was revealed that Lee Soo-geun tried to flee abroad using a disguise and a fake passport with the help of his nephew, Baek Ji-ok. After stopping a flight from Vietnam to a third country and dramatically arresting him, the Central Intelligence Agency succeeds in confessing to all crimes through various torture after arresting Lee Soo-geun and his nephew. Eventually, Lee Soo-geun was hanged 54 days after the death sentence under the name of "Red Spy," and his nephew, Baek Ji-ok, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

But the reversal of the shock was not the end here. Lee Dae-yong, who worked in Vietnam, testified, "Lee Soo-geun is not a spy." Reporter Cho Kap-jae, who covered this, said, "Kim Hyung-wook, the intelligence chief, made Lee Soo-geun a spy in disguise to live," revealing that the person who made Lee Soo-geun a double spy was Kim Hyung-wook, the intelligence chief at the time.

In the mysterious political story surrounding Lee Soo-geun, who lived a more dramatic life like a movie, Lee Soo-geun said, "I came because I didn't like the north, but I didn't have freedom in the south either," so Kkokomu sheds light on how he lived in South Korea and why he was framed for double espionage.

In particular, "Kkokkomu" draws attention by covering the current situation of Lee Soo-geun's family. Lee Soo-geun's nephew, Baek Ji-ok, was stigmatized as a spy and lived in prison for 20 years. You can check for the first time through the main broadcast of "Kko Kkomu" to see how he is doing.
