Get a front-row seat to the gripping story unfolding in the heart of Seoul, as a 33-year-old man finds himself at the epicenter of a shocking tragedy.
The Grocery Store Showdown
The scene is set on a fateful Tuesday evening in Mia-dong, Gangbuk District, where our protagonist, a man in his 30s, entered a local grocery store. Little did the patrons know, this ordinary trip to buy groceries would soon turn into a nightmare.
A Night of Horror
The man, who goes by the name of A, was fresh out of a nearby hospital, sporting a hospital gown in place of street clothes. Inside the grocery store, he didn't waste a moment; he downed some soju and seized a knife from the store's display. The scene quickly spiraled into horror as A launched a devastating attack on two women.
One woman, in her 60s, lost her life, succumbing to a heart attack. Thankfully, the other woman, a store employee in her 40s, managed to escape with injuries.
A Calm Assault and a Hidden Clue
If the attack itself wasn't chilling enough, A's actions following the assault are downright chilling. He nonchalantly hid the bloody weapon in a pile of snacks before calmly reporting the crime to the police.
An Apology and a Promises

The Wheels of Justice Turn
