In "Kko Kkomu," actress Han Ji-hye expressed her anger at the brutal methods of voice phishing organizations that made an extreme choice of a young man.

SBS's "The Story of the Day Who Bites His Tail" (hereinafter referred to as "Kkokkomu") aired on the 19th was decorated as a "faceless killer." Group At Heart members Arin, actors Shin So-yul and Han Ji-hye appeared as listeners and followed the reality of "real fake" voice phishing.

In 2020, the incident came to light when 28-year-old Kim Ho-bin was found dead after falling from the roof of an apartment building in Sunchang, Jeollabuk-do. His phone kept a record of nearly 11 hours of calls with an unsaved number, as well as a recorded actual call. It was a sign of control that continued to the brink of death.

On this day's broadcast, the 11-hour conversation that Hoobin talked to before his death was revealed. The person on the phone identified himself as "Investigator Lee Do-hyun" belonging to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. He said two bank accounts under the name of Hu Bin were found during the investigation of the financial fraud group, and another person who called himself "Prosecutor Kim Min-soo" then pressed him, saying that Hu Bin may be a suspect. They blocked contact with third parties and even turned off mobile data, Wi-Fi, and location information on mobile phones. There were also threats that if the call was cut off or the phone was not answered on time, it could be converted into a forced investigation, an arrest warrant was issued, and imprisonment could be served.

Han Ji-hye, who was watching how invisible control and psychological pressure clamped down on one person, shuddered, saying, "I feel trapped that I can't get out of it," while Shin So-yul said, "I feel so angry that I'm shaking so much when I gaslight."

They also showed the boldness of checking the fake Supreme Prosecutors' Office website to Hu Bin. The official letter, seal, and incident rating were all fake, but the sense of crisis was maximized. Furthermore, the fear that Hu Bin, who was preparing for the civil service examination, might not become a civil servant due to disqualification after ignoring their stories was a huge pressure. In the end, Hoobin had no choice but to think that he should actively cooperate with the investigation and clear himself of the blame.

Fake prosecutor Kim Min-soo ordered Hu Bin's account to be terminated after moving him to a bank, saying he had to prove his account had nothing to do with financial fraud, and eventually found 4.2 million won at the ATM. He then instructed Hu Bin to move to the Financial Supervisory Service in Seoul, putting him in a tight trap. Shin So-yul was astonished by the constant gas lighting, saying, "I'm suffocating."

Hoobin put 4.2 million won in cash and his belongings in the delivery locker of the community center under the direction of fake prosecutor Kim Min-soo. The last time I was told to wait at the coffee shop, I lost contact with the fake prosecutor Kim Min-soo. Waiting at a coffee shop in Seoul, he eventually returned home and made an extreme choice. The suicide note contained fear and injustice of being involved in the crime. He didn't even know that he was a voice phishing victim. Athart's Arin said, "I think I know the word 'murder, not suicide'. He lamented that he must have felt unspoken pressure without knowing that he was being voice phishing.

Hoo Bin's suicide and his mother's bitter scream moved the investigation team. The pursuit began with a single picture of a company dinner, and in the end, fake prosecutor Kim Min-soo and investigator Lee Do-hyun were arrested in hiding.

Even at the time of the arrest, Han Ji-hye was angry at the appearance of shameless people, saying, "Didn't you give up being human?"

In the trial that continued until the appeal, fake prosecutor Kim Min-soo and fake investigator Lee Do-hyun left a regret as their sentences of five and a half years and six years were finalized, respectively. The reason for the commutation was that they reached an agreement with other victims.

Kkokkomu introduced AI voice replication technology, which is developing day by day, raising awareness of the possibility of the evolution of voice phishing crimes. Three MCs, Jang Hyun-sung, Jang Sung-kyu and Jang Do-yeon, said, "I hope this broadcast will help the voice phishing crime disappear even a little."

"Kkokkomu" is a program in which three storytellers convey their feelings while studying on their own to their "story friends" in one-on-one in the most everyday space, and airs every Thursday night at 10:20 p.m. on SBS.

Meanwhile, Han Ji-hye married her prosecutor husband in 2010 and has one daughter.
