military service is mandatory for males in south korea which would explain some of the older members knowing how to handle firearms and explosives
Or at least thinking they know. BOOM!
military service, especially mandatory, in no way translates into *actually* knowing how to handle firearms and definitely not explosives. from what I've read the attitude towards military service in Korea is the same as in Russia - 95% of people hate it and think it's useless.
@@commander31able60 since it’s mandatory it means that they’re going to have to know how to operate weapons etc lol it’s called training 😂
@@Leahlee433 just because someone passes their driving test doesn't mean they can drive. just because you passed your high school math exam doesn't mean you can do math, especially years later. also, conscription militaries are generally shit, because they need to train a large number of people quickly.
@@commander31able60 Korean training, especially back than was harsh
Even now the discipline in the army is argued to be stronger than the US military
Firearms are a must, they drill you until you understand how it works
Out of conscription militaries south Korea has one of the best
I feel like Simon might lose his mind if he saw the actual stats for police corruption in various countries. It's a big problem that rarely gets dealt with at all.
It took him until the Jennings Eight to even vaguely grasp police corruption in America, idk what I expected loo
@@maddieb.4282
It is sad how corrupt every governmental institution is, and how many people believe "yeah but not mine"
Cops: “cool story bro”
The stats are horrifying enough, and then there's the deliberate and sytemic resistance to reporting stats that would reveal corruption
He's a bit clueless but it's easy to be when you come from a reasonably sheltered and privileged background.
Sad to report that Ms. Lee did an interview for the first time a bit ago and she was diagnosed with cancer and that she still struggles to this day with thinking between a victim and a murderer. She’s on medication to help with everything that’s happened.
It’s a shame it seems she didn’t get the right professional help to escape that struggle. She is 100% a victim, they just used her as a weapon to try to trap her. It’s sad to hear they were at least partially successful.
You both are delusional. The first chance she got she murdered her boyfriend. She deserves everything that happened. A cold-blooded murderer.
@@thiagoweber3153 you’re delusional if you think that wasn’t the best option because in the end she was able to expose what was happening because she was kept alive and had bee seen what the clan were doing. 2 deaths is worse than 1 and she was able to prevent a lot more than you realize
Miss Lee, Oh that poor lady. Everything she went through and still got cancer. What a rough ride of Life she got dealt.
Thanks for the update.
@@canadiandee6342mental health is still a bit of a taboo in South Korea. Until a few years ago it was seen as rather shameful to even NEED therapy. It's this "we're ALL struggling so suck it up like we all do" mindset.
I guess therapy wasn't all that accessible for her back in that time..
Until a few years ago, therapy wasn't a big thing in SK (and it still isn't. It's just not as stigmatized as it used to be).
Unsurprisingly unaliving oneself on the other hand was a big thing.
I'm glad Simon shares my "Freudian Excuse is No Excuse" mindset: a tragic backstory does NOT magically entitle you to a "get out of jail free" card when committing an appalling crime.
Spoken like someone who wasn't molested, beaten and mentally abused their entire childhood. You can see why they have no empathy, what's your excuse?
@@Mephamphetales Just because someone’s father beat them doesn’t mean that person can get away with beating their wife or children.
I don’t care how awful your childhood was: your actions are still your own, and you should be punished accordingly. I say this as someone who was disowned by her father for a facial deformity while I watched him try to drunkenly kidnap my two siblings. The next few days my siblings and I spent at our school was beyond stressful; and out of stress, I snapped and attacked a bully. I was still punished accordingly because I hurt her, even though I did it to protect someone else and the school staff knew how stressed out and scared my family was.
Our father was never punished for this or any of the crap he did after: he’s still free to this day, even after beating and robbing my grandpa for a measly WiFi box.
My father grew up with a father who’d beat his mother, him, and his two siblings. He still deserves to be in jail for what he did to my mom, grandpa, and my siblings. I also say this as someone whose mother was sexually abused by her own grandpa as a child: and you don’t see her doing any of the crap my father did.
I get that childhood trauma effects people greatly, but your actions are still your own despite your reasons and if you hurt someone, you deserve a punishment. The only exceptions are when you have to in order to defend yourself or someone else.
Lucas Catts
What! You just made a terrible excuse for murder and cannibalism..
I wonder if you'd still feel that way if someone was torturing and eating you. Somehow I think you're just spouting bs without giving any real thoughts to what you're defending.
@@Mephamphetales This is bait lmao
@@Mephamphetales Sooooo….that justifies a victim becoming a perpetrator? What a twisted outlook to have.
Regarding Police not wanting to deal with something out of their jurisdiction: I once reported a vandalized and dumped car. The police refused to take a report because it was out of their jurisdiction by THREE FEET.
To be fair, police are not legally allowed to operate outside their jurisdiction, that's the point. If the officers took that report and that detail came out in court, the case would be thrown out.
@@Jaccep I think it’s reasonable to expect them to take the report and forward it to the correct police jurisdiction.
You did the jurisdiction issue wrong. You are suppose to commit a minor crime and get away because the police officer who see you doing it. However, the officer can’t do anything to you because you are outside of his jurisdiction but the crime is too minor for him to forward to the proper authorities. So, you get off with a very terse warning after you explain the officer about the jurisdiction issue. Of course, this is all “fictional” situation. 🤗🤗😏
@@Jaccep - True, but most (if not all) neighboring jurisdictions have mutual aid & response agreements that allow for some overlap. The cops refusing to respond would have at least known who to call and pass the report along to.
Why did they show up 🤔, oh to give you a message 3 feet away.
"you're gonna get murdered... or worse..."

This is similar to the Raincoat Killer, a Korean serial killer. He also hated the rich, and targeted them, but yet wished to be rich like them.
He didn’t eat anyone, though.
I never heard of him, and yet I read he’s still alive! 😧🤭
Sound like, just as this story, it all boils down to a bunch of men being insecure and harming other because they cant think of an easier way to feel some form of "power"
he did actually 😭😭he ate the liver of one of the girls he killed
People like these that hate rich people normally end up being massive hypocrites
The Raincoat Killer also went on to murdered several women who were prostitutes because "they shouldn't have been prostitutes"
As a former prosecutor, I was always amazed at how far people could drive while having blood alcohol contents of 0.3 or more. There is a shocking amount of people who pass out behind the wheel in drive throughs and get discovered because they hold the line up.
as a former heavy drinker, i think its because when you get used to being fairly plastered on a daily basis you dont really notice it,
not as a matter of simply alcohol tolerance but because you get used to that state of mind because thats the state your ususally in, so you dont realize that its screwing with your cognitive ability's and motor skills because thats just how you are from your perspective. and because of that like you said, you might not even be aware that you are drunk untill you pass out because from your perspective, you basically wake up that way, you have a few bottles on the nightstand and when you wake up youve already mixed a drink before youve started the coffee
The way i put it is you dont realize how much alcohol slows you down untill you knock it off for a bit, now in my defense i never drove while i was drinking because i had enough of an idea that my perspective was off to understand it was a bad idea, but i can without a doubt see how it could happen. Because it just sneaks up on you
Some people do build up a tolerance. I do think the whole knife wound and such would have been a giveaway however. "He's so drunk he fell on a knife at the weirdest angle like someone stabbed him. . . .Oh, well. Road Accident. Next!".
Ya know, everyone always assumes Simon has a cadre of writers locked in basements researching oddities, bizarreities and horrific curiosities.

"Local police corruption in western or developed countries seems unlikely"
You sweet summer child
No, YOU sweet summer child. You think America's police is corrupt? Move to Mexico or Colombia.
The FBI does extensive background checks, police departments don't care how many guys you brutalized at your last job.
@@TheAsj97 dude what? The op didn't even mention any specific country, America isn't the only western country, you are the only one who mentioned the USA. Seems like you're an american that loves to point out other countries' bad situation to deflect from the things happening in the usa. Besides two things can be true at the same time. Just because Mexico is more corrupt it doesn't mean that the USA corrupt can't be mentioned. You're just a self centered American who thinks the world revolves around the USA and that's why you immediately took it personally even though the op didn't mention any country
@@lucajones1700 seems you're assuming they are American.
@@danielledalton6722 not a single non-american would write a comment like that because to do that when the op didn't even mention the USA, you'd need to be thinking about the USA only and think that other people are always talking about the usa even when they don't mention any country in specific. The fact that that person immediately started defending the usa and deflecting by mentioning corruption in other countries even tho the op said western countries not any specific country shows that they're American, funnily enough the two countries that they chose to use to deflect are also western countries. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out, only Americans get defensive about the USA and start pointing out the bad things about other countries even when nobody mentioned or offense the USA

As someone who grew up in a severely f@$ked family I would like to point out that you are absolutely right. I had a really messed up childhood and instead of leaning into it I decided to go the exact opposite direction. I’m not wealthy or perfect by any means but I like to think I’m a productive member of society and I probably baby my daughter a bit too much afraid of becoming what my parents were I’m in counseling to deal with it. What they did was an active choice.
Yep. Nearly everyone has pain or trauma or anger from something in their past to various degrees. The difference is that a bad person says "I had to suffer this, it's unfair that other people don't. They'll feel what I felt," and a good person says "I had to suffer this, I will make sure no one else feels what I felt if I can help it."
Same. Both. We endured, overcame, and now have the opportunity to keep the generational trauma to us. Stay strong my brothers and sisters. Those kids, our kids, are counting on us. To the future!!!
@@amouramarie I can relate. I had an awful childhood, growing up in a dysfunctional family in addition to being horribly bullied all throughout my entire schooling without a single friend. As a kid, I recall having the first mindset, that "all I have to my name is my suffering, and by god, I'm going to share it with the world," and HONESTLY BELIEVED that this was a noble thing. Fortunately, my desire for friends caused me to finally work on improving my character traits after one too many people told me that I "suck," which made me angry (but by that point, I was too tired of being lonely that I was too desperate to remain stubborn), so, fortunately, I adapted the second mindset, and want to help people. Unfortunately, there was still a lot of bugs to sort out, as I recall being a young adult and wanted to become president in order to use my authority to punish the "haves" and help only the "victims," which is nothing short of dictatorship and abuse, so was still every bit as self-righteous as when I was a kid. I'm still reminded that I need to be nicer to people even with all this (conscious) hard work, but, despite this, I still hope I'd made much improvement since then.
Does having good intentions to be a good person count as being the same thing? I don't have any plans to stop working on my own character improvement. There are so many awful people in this world and almost no good ones. I want to make the world a brighter place even if just a little by being one more light.
@@phatcat3705 Of course it counts! Nobody is perfect, even the best people are shitty on occasion, or even have whole life phases of shittiness, because we all have to _learn_ what we think being a good person is: nobody is born with the knowledge (and if you didn't have good role models, where were you going to learn it?). I think being a good person generally just means _trying_ to be a good person. I read something once that said something like "If you worry whether or not you are actually a good person, you are. The truly bad ones never worry about that." And going from a mindset of passing your pain on to others all the way to the other end of preventing the pain of others is an incredible journey, and certainly took a lot more effort than most have to expend. You did a great thing, so don't beat yourself up over what you did or thought before - use it as a tool to see how far you've come. And always remember to forgive your past self: they did the best they could with what they knew at the time.
I also was an abused child and i consider it an insult every time people say stuff like, "nurture creates serial killers". Its like the last stab in the back to be accused of being more prone to lethal violence because i was abused as a child. I am not. Others are not. These people that murder are born that way. Its entirely a genetic flaw, imo. But they still have control over it! They arent just a slave to their desire to kill. They can seek counseling and check themselves into a mental hospital. But no, they choose to murder. Abused as a child OR NOT.
Man this is the most aggressively British Simon's come across as in a long time. "A student hanging out with a laborer and an ex-con? Association across class lines? Good heavens! What scandal!" (Monocle drops off his face into his cup of tea)
"A hatred of Hyundais"... is that the collective noun? Like "a murder of crows"?
Like a Complaint of Karens
Genius
It could be if we all agree to start using the word in that manner for long enough which if I remember this I will do. “Guys, guys, look, it’s a hatred of Hyundais! There’s at least a bakers dozen(13) in this particular hatred.”

It’s not that big of a deal.
Just like the “I was on drugs” excuse, the “I had a traumatic childhood,” does not magically erase your morals or humanity. I am a recovering addict who had my fair share of trauma throughout my ENTIRE life. There are MANY things about society that disgust and anger me. But you know what? Not once did I see someone next to me in traffic in a Maserati and think murder and violence was the answer.
on one hand i feel the same on the other i wonder if im just built to handle substances better.
for me even when rampantly abuseing actual substances i never did not have control over my actions, but ive definitely seen some people who have 2 drinks, skitz out and become and entirely different person
They just lost their sanity tho... 🙄
Thank goodness. I get sick of people bashing rich people. Many work hard for it.
We have the choice of improving our own lives.
@@serpentines6356 Don't lie to yourself. The vast majority of rich people are not self-made. However, I do agree that the hate for them is getting alarming.
I used to be that people disliked specific rich people because they proved that they used/were currently using underhanded and/or unethical means to obtain/hold onto their wealth. That now seems to be transitioning into a general mindset of hating anyone and everyone with wealth on principle, to the point of wishing them ready physical/emotional harm, and even death.
@@raerohan4241 Stop assuming incorrect things. I am not lying to myself.
As a Korean, not only do I think you’re doing great, I think even trying or learning is awesome keep at it!
Agreed. I had a horrific time with my parents. They even went to prison. I am a weird but solid citizen. Abuse contributes to crime but you always have a choice. The choices might all suck but they don't have to include killing and raping.

I live in Korea........Love Motels are a common thing here. They are actually pretty normal. Many of them are very nice and CLEAN, and just like a normal hotel. For the most part, younger couples who aren't married yet live with their parents, so they go to love motels. The nicer motels aren't necessarily dirty places for hookers (though there are places like that lol). A lot of travelers use them because they are cheap and have bathtubs!! Most apartments here do not have bathtubs. Some love motels have those sex mirrors, but others are just like normal hotel rooms with sound proofing and they like leave condoms in your room haha. Many smaller apartments here (that students or young workers live in) aren't soundproof either... so that's another reason to check into a love motel with your significant other! I really like them and I used to think they would be nasty too! They are just cheaper hotel rooms really! Sounds weird... but they aren't that bad. Part of life here and a great place to stay on a weekend trip to another city!!
So...a soundproofed room with privacy guaranteed and it's not uncommon to get stuffed with multiple people at the same time
A perfect kidnapping location ain't it
@@felixsubakti6907 Hahaha what you do in those rooms is your business Felix!! All the power to you! 😂😂
This was good advice. Will ask what to watch out for with bugs because it’s my main concern anywhere, bedbugs and fleas, not so much the ones living permanently at the place.
I also live in Korea and I agree lol
One time our motel room was nicer than our 400 Dollar per night hotel room 🤣

The missing woman/cafe worker's name is Lee Su Jeong (이수정) not Lee Jeong Su. She did an interview a few years ago on JTBC. Sadly, she's had to battle breast and cervical cancer, as well as the trauma of her horrific experience.
Cervical cancer is often caused by hpv. Her captors probably gave her cancer too, in addition to everything else.
Thank you for the correct info about this woman.
My understanding is she was actually charged with something in relation to this incident - fleeing the scene of the crime or some such?
can you send a link? I cant find any detailed information about this case online for some reason
@@fogwat the person charged with fleeing the scene was Lee Kyung-sook
Back when these murders happened, the Korean police had a very militarist attitude. It was to the point where people even protested against them and they got beaten up badly. The police had a very bad attitude in some places so it shouldn't be a surprise even if the local police got bribed and kept things on the down low for these criminals.
About that road blocks in Seoul that Simon was wondering about. This case happened at the same time of Hwaseong murders case. It was a heinous serial killings that happend from late 80s to mid 90s in Hwaseong near Seoul. Police got a very bad repute bc of that case. Also, bc the serial killer couldn't be captured all police force was driven to that case. The police however, blamed/framed an innocent man for the crime who spent 20 years in jail and only got a retrial to clear his name amidst this pandemic last year.
I think the road blocks might have also had to do with an era of authoritarian, military rule, and concerns such as student and pro-democracy demonstrations and popular uprisings against the government, as well as concerns of North Korean spies etc. infiltrating South Korea.
Curfews were also in place during that decade and prior to that.

A few years ago I watched a Korean crime thriller about a cop who snaps and decides to go vigilante. What made him snap? A gang like this who had done the very same crimes including kidnapping a girl and her friend, raping and starving the girl and forcing her to help kill her friend. She survived by doing what they told her. I thought it was pure fiction from a dark mind, but I should have known better. I have no idea how that movie ended, and now that I know it was based on true events, I am even more disturbed by it.
care to share the name?
@@commander31able60 I believe it was The Outlaw (2010). I had to look it up because it is a little obscure. This gang is not the focus of the movie but a catalyst for the main character to go vigilante. The scenes are strikingly similar to the story of the Chijon Family.
@@pumibel1720 thanks.
@@commander31able60 No problem!
Most gangs though are like this. Maybe I'm a devil's advocate but it's easy to overlook just how ruthless, corrupt, decadent, miserable and oppressive South-Korea is due to the contrast with North-Korea.
If North-Korea didn't exist we likely would see South-Korea as the worst rich nation on the planet cause it is. It's sort of the ultimate example of the limitations of capitalism to create a happy and flourishing society.

Except its not the police, but the laws and ways things are done that are bad.

Baltimore police have been caught planting drugs and being bought off, so yeah police are not immune to being criminals.

Motels in Korea are generally used by people to have sex. Most people live with their family until they get married. They are usually quite cheap and comfortable. Except for very high end luxury vehicles foreign cars are generally not found in Korea. Most upper middle class executives drive high end Korean cars. Chuseok is not really anything to do with Thanksgiving. I think Koreans are taught to explain it as such to make it easier for "foreigners" to understand. People usually eat a large meal with their family.
When living in Korea I heard quite a lot of stories about police apathy and incompetence.
I don't think Simon knows "going out in a blaze of glory" usually means dead cops and/or bystanders.
I think he was harking back to what they were going to do if it went wrong the first time. That they were going to blow their cabin and everything up.
Mascan actually means they/you chew in Spanish. Mascar is a Spanish verb meaning “to chew”, did they bash their nickname? Or did they just absolutely nail it?! What a crazy story 👍🏼
I recently found your channel and just want to tell you how much I enjoy it. From the writing of the story, to the visuals, and finally your delivery.
When this happened the country was going through great financial problems, so even though it was absolutely horrid of them to not investigate the kidnap claim, there is a grain of understanding as to why they didn’t believe the story because a lot of company CEO’s were making up suit and running away.
Selling information is still a huge problem in Korea, a frequent example of this is celebrities airport schedules sold to stalkers, even once that have been registered as problems.
The cafe worker was extremely brave, I would have crumpled but she saved future victims and herself.
Some of them might have had explosives experience from their time in the military since that's been mandatory for all men since the Korean War. That could've been where the explosives training came from.

I love it how Simon recommends 'just 'call the FBI' - whilst most countries don't even have have a similar organization (which explains the corrupt local police in the first place)
And would not want to call the fbi of today anyway.

I love these unique ones. The ones that are doctors, graverobbing cannibals, religious psychos. These are the best videos. And now we have a big group of monsters. If only it wasn't reality.
I used to hate this channel when it first came out. Thought it was just way too long so I only watched the shorts.
Now I wait for it twice per week!
I hope we never meet Raven.
ya agreed these are the best ones
Definitely agree! I'd love for him to cover the Gram Parsons corpse heist, I feel like it would make a really funny short
You wouldn't click if it weren't real
These are getting longer every week. No complaints here
The RUclips channel uploads differently than the podcast version, but it's also out of order. I think there's 3-4 that aren't on RUclips yet and they stay around this length.
Absolutely 100% Excited for longer mins with Crime and Simon 🤘💙
@@Al3xtheMeh the RUclips edition is a few weeks behind the podcast version
I like the longer stories, the short ones are good...but this is my whole drive to work or a whole round of exercise
Longer the better!!!!
Simon, if it's a holiday, we're drinking about it. -An American, probably Ben Franklin.
This deserves an award 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't apologize for your pronunciations. It's your channel so it doesn't matter and people pronounce things different ways in different parts of the world haha now all that being said it took me a while to figure out that you were saying Hyundai. I honestly thought I was just being a slow American southerner, which I really am, until I realized what brand you were saying. I've always heard Hyundai pronounced as "hundai" basically the y what taken out. Again it's your channel and it's an awesome one so do your thing man.
Umm this read through was hilarious!! I loved your witty and honest side inputs as you read through- it made me laugh…at a story that probably shouldn’t be laughed at😬😬. It was a different side to the serious narrator you perfectly portray in other videos. I thoroughly enjoyed it as always! Love your videos and content!
“A Hatred of Hyundais” is that a collective noun?
I’m so sorry….I’ll get my coat!
I love how he keeps saying go to the FBI like you can just walk up to them😂😂😂
You can go into an FBI office closest to you and report a crime. If you were to report this type of crime they would quickly send you in to talk to an agent.

Remember when the Nebraska police found a guy running down the road hands bound, in his underwear and Jeffrey Dahmer convinced them it was a lovers quarrel. Once back at Dahmers home he injected acid in the mans brain and did horrible things to him for days until he died then continued doing horrible things to his body.The negligence of police is sometimes mind blowing.
The man was a 14 year old child
9:10 You know Marx wrote the manifesto when he was 30 and kept living and writing for another 35 years after that, right? And there's even a bunch of stuff he wrote before that that has a completely different style and tone. There's even a letter he wrote to his father when he was 19 that is pretty remarkable.
Too bad all his writing is shit
The dynamite accidentally detonating in the car ... feels like Pulp Fiction.

As a Korean I respect the attempts of correct pronunciations by Simon, but the way he said Hyundai made be a bit depressed ._.
I wanna know, I'm awful at pronunciation with everything, how do you say Hyundai properly? I am always messing it up
@@shadowdroid776 “Hyundai like Sunday” its from one of their commercials according to another comment
@@shadowdroid776 it’s 2 syllables, not 3. Hyun-Day.
@@shadowdroid776 Hyun-Dai (Dai pronounced like die as in 'to die) is how we say it in germany, but the actual Korean pronounciation is more akin to hyeon-dae. Funnily enough only recently I talked with my cousin, who lives in Korea as he serves in the armed forces there, about cars and he made fun of my pronounciation of Hyundai.
On the flip side, I can pronounce every german car brand the right way :P
That pronunciation was the biggest surprise to me when I first arrived in Korea.
If these people were genuinely motivated by class divides and wealth gaps they wouldn’t have had the attitude towards women that they did. You don’t rally for one marginalised group by shitting on and causing harm to another.
as a very leftist person lemme tell you, there is a LOT of white dudes in my country who _only_ care about class divides and completely shit on how being a minority affects that too. There is even a name for that type of guy around here: esquerdomacho
@James Patrick
They're class reductionists. As for views on women, there's a difference from holding views that conform to the ones held by the society you live in.
Not trusting any women at all, not even your mother goes further than internalizing social views
@@Carols989 Is 'esquerdomacho' sort of like 'brocialist' or 'manarchist'?
Unfortunately even the experience of being marginalised or discriminated against because of a label - does not equate to automatic affinity to anything...
@James Patrick my point was more that if that’s how they behave then it’s not a desire for justice or equality, it’s a desire for personal vindication and gain disguised as politics. I didn’t state anything about whether they were “real Marxists” or not, my point is that nobody who treats women this way (or who is racist or bigoted in any way) actually cares about inequality, thy just care about their own struggles and how they feel they’ve been wronged personally.
Oh my godddd as an American who isn't even close to Korean every time he said "HaiUN-DAI" I felt like I was getting stabbed in the brain
If I’m remembering correctly, where I live the official ads from Hyundai pronounces it like that so it’s not too out of the ordinary seeing as I imagine Simon lives just one island over
@@Dlúith yep, that's how it's pronounced in ads in England.
Considering how Americans butcher English pronunciations I'm amused the op is saying anything judgey at all 😂
@@RosieWilliamOlivia it's not even similar to the Korean though. How did Americans get closer?
There is drinking at every major holiday in the US. Especially in the southeast.
I'm just finding it absolutely adorable that he still thinks movies accurately portray the police, CIA, FBI, or any sort of technology (including guns). It's all fiction, Simon. XD. They're usually quite far from the mark.
He's kind of joking or half-joking here.
Nooo??!! It's really all fake? My whole world view - DESTROYED!! 🥺😢 You really need to post trigger warnings...
@@joepeake8972 I don't think he is. He mentions the FBI being good pretty often.
willful ignorance is not adorable
@@TheMattTrakkerthey used to be, they have been corrupted and gone way downhill in the past 8 years.
Them: "Yoooo you hear about people in the west saying eat the rich? Lets do it!"
Simon, I know you didn't get that reference, but when you said "Lil' Kim" , that made me chuckle.
Not sure if it's the same in Korea, but in Japan (and Hong Kong, I think) there are these places called "love hotels". They are not used for "dalliances", but by married couples. Reason being, population density is so high and real estate is so expensive, there's virtually no privacy at home.
They must have been loyal Motörhead fans - “C’mon Baby…Eat the Rich!”
Just FYI Simon: blood alcohol content that knocks out one man is another's typical evening. There was once a man pulled over for DWI who had nearly 30x the "lethal" dose BAC. (He survived btw)
The story about that guy would fit in a business blaze themed about drunks or Florida man.
30X either "lethal" or "legal" would mean he had more alcohol than blood.
@@andiward7068 no? 3 or say 5 Promille, not percent, is considered lethal. I doubt he had 150 Promille, but that's not more alc than blood
If this isn't a movie yet it needs to be a movie, preferably an 80s style action movie
I’m surprised SK hasn’t made a miniseries based on it.
An 80's style action flick would be fun. I like that.
@@jaymevosburgh3660 too much bushes
I couldn’t agree more.
I believe there is a small documentary on this story.
Straight from a Hyundai tv advertisement: “it’s Hyundai. Like Sunday.” Rhymes with Sunday so it’s like Hunday.
Only if you’re American and can’t pronounce anything correctly so you just make them up 🤣 in every other country it’s hi-un-dye
For some reason my brain did the opposite and said "Sundai"
@@slayingroosters4355 Doesn't mean it's right. ruclips.net/video/CTM1jF5fs4g/видео.html

Oh, Simon, of COURSE there's drinking at American Thanksgiving. How else are you going to listen to the crazy ravings of your aunt's husband who wants to tell you about his most recent conspiracy theories?

@@jodysales2362 Let me guess: He shows up for dinner and immediately parks himself in front of the TV to watch football. He doesn't offer to help with any of the setup of the tables and chairs, nor setting the table, nor filling the water glasses, etc. He's too busy braying at the top of his lungs about his off-putting political views. He only gets to his feet when it's time to waddle into the dinner table. He keeps up his offensive tirades during dinner, and sneer at anyone who disagrees with him. As soon as the food is done, he wanders back to the TV room, taking the best chair, and loosening his trousers while everyone else is helping to clear the table, strip the turkey carcase, and put away the leftovers. And then he bitches because it takes so long to bring out the pies after the dinner is all cleared up and the first load of dishes is getting cleaned in the dishwasher.

I am Greek and I had to listen to the "mascan" part twice, I was like, wait a minute, this word does not look or sound remotely Greek 😂😂
I think it's relevant to mention that Korea was nothing like it is today back in the 90's, they were going through huge economic growth but weren't yet such an affluent country.. You had some questions around the Hyundai and why they'd target people with a seemingly not that expensive car but at that time that would have been a very expensive car for people from a poor area. It sounds like these young men were very uneducated and ignorant about the world as a whole, considering Korea's system of chaebols (huge companies led by one family) you would've expected them to target one of such families. The fact that they just went after random people with (to them) fancy cars just goes to show how unaware they were of the world around them.
Actually Simon, Hyundai does make midrange to high end luxury cars exclusive to their domestic market. They're basically the Korean version of Buick, Oldsmobile or Cadillac. The boring cheap cars the rest of the world buys are just their bread and butter
Simon should make video on Korea "Frog boys" mystery murders .
I’m here for the unscripted tangents Simon goes on, pure gold✨
I love how the last bit is called "dismembered" appendices. This channel is fantastic.
It's an interesting case, but these Casual Criminalist episodes feel so sloppy...spelling mistakes on the title cards, missing script pages, and Simon is so uninformed. Most of the questions he poses in his asides from the script could be answered with google, would it be so hard to look this stuff up and not just make vague assertions all the time? It really detracts from the gravity of the cases. I get that it's meant to be informal and to let him show some more of his personality than in his other channels, but these would be so much better if he put a bit more effort into checking details.
Your pronunciation of Hyundai sent me 🤣🤣 I had to read the screen to realize what you were talking about
I´m trying to figure out rn if Jenn puts in the music and goofy sound effects when Simon makes a tangent to make it more audio-version friendly or just to call Simon a child.
In the US there are two options for thanksgiving: Drinking or fighting. It's generally a delicate balance if you don't want both.
Hyundai is one of the biggest cheabols (conglomerates) in south korea, they make and sell everything from ships to heavy construction equipment/cars and toasters and own department stores and property development companies.
Hyundai and Samsung pretty much carry most of the Korean economy together.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma
Samsung is so big that when they got caught giving bribes to government officials the ensuing scandal nearly collapsed their entire economy,
@@DefinitelyNotEmma also the military too, Hyundai made destroyer (the ship type) parts and Samsung made THAAD missiles
As a Hyundai driver . . .
They're actually really good cars. Practical, comfortable, reliable, economical and spacious . . . and you can still have fun with them when you want to put your foot down (on a fairly twisty, mountainous 'A' road near me a couple of weeks ago I was able to go toe to toe with and then overtake a Porsche Carrera S in my standard 1.4 petrol 2013 I30)
Hyundai were back to back constructors champions for the World Rally championship in 2019 & 2020 and are placed 2nd behind Toyota so far this year.
But yeh, they are also fairly cheap as cars go. I reckon that just makes them very good value though.
But yeh, great cars . . . Certainly not 'luxury, bourgeois' cars.
39:46 Hyundai department store is under the exact company of the car company. They’re a chaebol aka big brother-esque megacorp that’s in every aspect of your life. Hyundai auto, Hyundai electric, Hyundai department, Hyundai shipping, the list goes on. Samsung is also a company like this, though branching off a bit more into different names (like shinsegae as their department store name instead of Samsung).
Comparing Japan and Seoul as countries? Oh where do I start? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Quite Literally Eating The Rich" Callum thank you, as we know that Simon doesn't know enough pop references!
the real question is if Moon did, in fact, sing rock.
My bf had a horrible child hood and still struggles with the ramifications of neglect to this day. He is the most caring person I’ve ever met and very aware as to not hurt anyone.
Do not go after the middle class...go for truly rich, those who own everything by inheriting it all. Banks, insurance companies, mines, the owners of the companies who own the companies who own the smaller large companies. No people caged by work, only free range who spend their day pursuing spa days, golfing, sailing and "saving the poor children". Much more tender and just the right amount of fat.
How about we don't try to kill people for wealth?
We should maybe keep an eye on this one
Me, Korean: lets go, white man (affectionately). Let’s hear you butcher some names lmao. 😂
Lol you're awesome. I guess I'd be the same with someone who speaks a different language. However I do get my name mispronounced by *people who speak my language* and I tend to start troll.
@@onandonitgoes5957 How else does one pronounce "Shade Dragon"? Sharday Drugoon... Ooo I like it!
Simon, there's SO MUCH drinking at American Thanksgiving, how else are we supposed to deal with the awkwardness of dinner with people we only see once or twice a year and the only thing we know about them is some serious family drama?
Even as a kid I never could really understand why families would force themselves to gather at holidays when they knew darn well they didn’t like each other and all it would end up in is arguments, passive aggressive comments over mashed potatoes ham and gravy, and awkward silences while everyone sits down to watch a football game they don’t ACTUALLY care for, and then you all fall asleep from an overdose of tryptophan laden deceased bird meat 🤣😅
It's not Thanksgiving unless someone gets so drunk they lay on the bathroom floor sobbing with the lights of. I'm someone someone is me 😅🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♀️😔
@@LoreleiCatherine Fatherless
Most families actually like each other. Sorry yours sucks.
@@KFrost-fx7dt Of all 82 people who reacted to this in some way, you're the first to miss that it's a joke. Congrats?
I think something important in this story that Simon overlooked is that they were not supposed to be attacking the rich. They understood the rich and accepted them as a part of life. Just like communists and other groups they attacked the middle class. The people who make enough to get by but not enough to escape the hands of those who are jealous of their moderate (and therefore feasibly attainable) comfort.
In the US we eat too much to get drunk with heavy drinking on Thanksgiving. It's like taking a big sleeping pill and the only way to be awakened from it is if someone tries to turn the TV channel away from the football game.
“Casual Cannibalism” would make a good band name.
