She was only trying to save the cost of a taxi.
Instead, the walk home became the final journey of her life.
On May 5, 2026, 17-year-old Lee Chae-won left a study café in Gwangju and began walking home alone. A stranger spotted her from his car, turned around and followed her through the empty streets. Minutes later, she was fighting for her life.
But the horror of this case did not end with the attack. Evidence pointing to a darker motive began disappearing. Reports were rewritten. Key items were never seized. And the killer’s own father—a senior police officer—was accused of helping destroy what remained.
Join Megan as she investigates the murder of Lee Chae-won, the warning police failed to act on two days earlier, and the alleged cover-up that transformed one teenager’s death into a national scandal.
How many people had the chance to stop this before it was too late?
