Stylist and entrepreneur Kim Woo-ri expressed intense anger toward the South Korean judiciary after Jang Yun-gi, who brutally murdered a high school girl returning home, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the first instance.

On the 1st, Kim Woo-ri posted on his personal social media account, "Damn it, this country and its laws are truly garbage," along with an interview video featuring the bereaved family of Jang Yun-gi's victim.

Kim Woo-ri then expressed his fury, asking, "What parent could live in their right mind after losing a young child first? As a fellow parent, my heart is shattered. Who exactly is the legal system for?"

He also criticized South Korea's legal system, stating, "Jang Yun-gi, one of the most brutal murderers in history. A country and its laws that do not hand down the death penalty are already dead."

Previously, on the 30th of last month, the Criminal Division 13 of the Gwangju District Court sentenced Jang Yun-gi, who had been indicted on charges including rape and murder, to life imprisonment. The Prosecution Service had sought the maximum statutory penalty of death.

Jang Yun-gi was indicted after approaching Lee Chae-won, a deceased high school girl returning home near a high school in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, last May with the intent to commit a sexual crime, and then stabbing her to death with a knife. He was also charged with attempting to murder a male student who arrived at the scene after hearing screams by stabbing him with a knife.

He is also accused of detaining and raping a female foreign colleague in her 20s, stalking her, and secretly filming parts of a middle school student's body seven times while working as a social service worker last year.

Kim Woo-ri married Lee Hye-ran in 1999 and has two daughters.
