Receiving an anonymous call at 9:05 PM, the SPD discovered two more victims at Seoul Forest just ten minutes later in a case opened by a first couple being found in the early morning of the 8th. Rumours are circulating that the male victim is a paramedic from H Plus Yangji Hospital, also rumoured to have been involved in last year’s investigation. We reached out to the hospital for a statement, but one has not yet been made. 

Causes of death have not yet been released for either couples, and a senior officer present refused to disclose any additional details to reporters gathering at the scene. A handful of protesters are calling for the SPD to be more transparent about the threats in the city so citizens can take better precautions to stay safe, however the SPD have not made a statement on this. Information is limited currently, but watch this space for updates.

[ +2,948, -18 ] may they rest in peace. tragic.

[ +893, -294 ] don’t say I didn’t warn anyone.... 

[ +383, -83 ] I feel like chief choi doesn’t really know what to do, heol... same, chief. same. 

Lee Sanghoon, 54, has been following the same route for his morning jog for over three years, he claims, but never has he seen anything like this on his journey down to Han River, Yongsan-gu. 

“You hear all the things on the news,” he tells local news live later in the morning, the scene of the crime wrapped in obnoxious yellow SPD tape and forensics wandering in and out of the frame behind him, “but you don’t ever think it can happen to you.” He takes a moment to breath in sharply as the embedded clip of his interview continues. “I was just doing my usual route — I’ve been jogging this route three years, you know — and I noticed something strange on my way down towards the river. There was this couple and they’re down by the river, sitting on this bench, but they’re— they’re not moving, and they’re wearing so little layers considering winter is still at its high.” His fingers are shaking off-screen, and as he continues to talk, the video cuts to a scenic shot of the calm waters, his voice booming over the top. “Now, I’m not one who’s shy— I’ll approach anyone and strike up a conversation,” it’s a claim that isn’t hard to believe in the slightest, “so I went over to ask if they were okay, that they should probably get somewhere warm, and they’re— dead. I called the police immediately but it’s... so unbelievable. It feels like I’m living in some nightmare.” It seems as if he’s done talking, but he sucks in another deep breath moments later. “I think what hits me hardest is that they’d been there in plain sight, in broad daylight for who knows how long and no one noticed. Hundreds of people must have passed them before me; are we that uncaring of one another in today’s society that we see something out of the ordinary and we simply brush it off? Because it doesn’t affect us? Those are someone’s children, siblings, niece, nephew, friends—” An off-screen interviewer seems to suggest quietly that it may have something to do with the rising gang activity in the city and Lee groans just as quietly, pursing his lips. “Back in my day...” The short clip cuts here. 

Details of the victims have not yet been revealed as discussions are still being held with families. In a very brief statement, a present senior officer stated they are “young victims who, with the mourning, deserve respect and privacy in these times.” More to follow.
