The true-crime documentary series She Killed is set to reveal the handwritten confession of Jeon Hyun Joo, the infamous pregnant kidnapper. This confession will shed light on the shocking Park Chorong Chorong Bitnari Kidnapping.
Airing on June 3, She Killed Episode 5 delves into the hidden truths of the “Park Chorong Chorong Bitnari Kidnapping case” in 1997.
It was a horrifying crime that exploited familiarity and shocked the nation. In this episode, the victim’s father, Park Yong Taek, shares his memories of the day he lost his daughter. Park named his daughter Chorong Chorong Bitnari, wishing to give her the most beautiful name in the world. He was a loving father who wanted to provide everything for his daughter, even sleeping beside her when she was scared. However, his daughter was tragically murdered by the pregnant kidnapper, Jeon Hyun Joo, at 9 years old.
The kidnapper demanded 20 million won (approximately $17,000) from Park Chorong Chorong Bitnari’s family.
“Her face and eyes were covered with blue tape,” Crime Scene Investigator Seo Jung Seok shared as he recounted the gruesome discovery of the victim. Kang Shin Yeop, the prosecutor on this case, struggled to speak about his experience.
Witnessing his child’s unusual autopsy, Park recalled, “I didn’t cry because I couldn’t believe she was dead, even after the autopsy. But the moment I stepped into the funeral home, I realized it was ‘farewell.’ I didn’t cry because I felt like she would come back the day after tomorrow, but when I understood it was the end, I cried.”
Jeon Hyun Joo, who committed this brutal crime while pregnant, was a graduate of a literature and creative writing department. Known for her writing skills, she penned an unusual handwritten confession. “It feels like reading a novel written from an omniscient author’s perspective,” Criminologist Park Mi Rang said after reading her confession. Criminal psychologist Pyo Chang Won added, “It’s very coherent, as if a journalist wrote an article after covering the incident.” The episode will thoroughly examine Jeon’s confession, including her encounter with the victim, the murder, and all inexplicable actions following the crime, amid ongoing debates about how a pregnant woman could have committed such a brutal act alone and whether she had an accomplice.
