'Smoking Gun' traces the tragic death of a woman that society failed to prevent.

On the 9th at 9:45 p.m., KBS 2TV's 'Smoking Gun' will air the episode titled 'My Daughter Wanted to Live – The Dongsan Kidnapping and Murder Case'.

On the morning of May 12, 2025, in an apartment complex in Dongsan, Gyeonggi Province, a desperate cry of "Help! Someone save me!" echoed through the air. At the scene, 33-year-old Kim Eun-jin was found lying on the ground, bleeding, with her hands bound by cable ties. A black plastic bag was placed over her head, and her mouth was sealed with blue tape. Although she tried to escape to survive until the end, Kim, attacked by the perpetrator's weapon, ultimately died. Who was the perpetrator, and how did they dare to commit such a heinous crime in broad daylight?

In today's broadcast, Kim Eun-jin's mother appears on screen to convey the pain her daughter endured and the grief left behind for the family.

The perpetrator was identified as Lee, Kim's former boyfriend of seven years. Shortly after the incident, Lee took his own life. In his suicide note, Lee claimed that his girlfriend had betrayed him. However, as the investigation continued, it began to emerge that the truth was entirely different, based on the contents of over 30 recording files left by the victim, Kim, and a 600-page criminal complaint.

Lee Ji-hye stated, "The recording files themselves were too shocking," adding, "I am so angry and heartbroken that someone's life could be destroyed to such an extent." An Hyeon-mo said, "There were continuous warning signs, yet I cannot understand how we could not prevent such a tragedy," and could not continue speaking.
