The shocking reality of global drug lords targeting South Korea, from Frank to K. Jeff, has been unveiled.
The show 'The Story of That Day' (directed by Lee Keun-byeol, Lee Dong-won, Kim Byung-gil), in its special episode 'Target K Part 3: The Business of Evil,' delves into international drug crimes and internet scams, including romance scams, that have targeted South Korea. This episode is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time the show has investigated Nigerian scam crimes on location, promising to reveal the full extent of internet scams that have remained largely unknown until now.
Joining the discussion are first-time guest 'Kkokkoini' (Kkokkomu child) actor Lee Se-young, actor and singer Ong Seong-wu, and 'Kkomuli' Kang Seung-yoon, who is making his fifth appearance on the show. Together, they explore the global business of evil targeting South Korea.
The episode reveals the shocking fact that drug lords, who supply drugs worldwide, have been residing in South Korea, gaining an in-depth understanding of the country's culture and systems to commit drug crimes. 'Frank,' a drug lord fluent in eight languages, reportedly befriended Korean female students and used them as drug mules, adding to the shock.
Additionally, 'K. Jeff,' who lived in South Korea for five years, committed drug smuggling crimes based in the country, inciting anger. The revelation that Frank and K. Jeff's time in South Korea overlapped adds to the chilling narrative. The reasons behind their deep infiltration into South Korea for drug crimes will be unveiled on 'The Story of That Day,' drawing significant attention.
Moreover, 'The Story of That Day' will reveal, for the first time, the existence of 'Yahoo Schools' in Nigeria, where internet scams, including romance scams, are systematically taught. These schools, complete with instructors, chairs, and desks, resemble actual educational institutions. The students, known as 'Yahoo Boys,' include teenagers as young as 15, adding to the shock. Interviews with 'Yahoo Boys' will reveal the extent to which internet scams have evolved.
In response to the crimes targeting South Korea, Lee Se-young expressed outrage, saying, "It feels like my blood is boiling," while Ong Seong-wu commented, "Using and discarding people as tools is beyond redemption," reacting emotionally to the victims' stories. Kang Seung-yoon remarked, "It's beyond imagination," unable to articulate the ever-evolving crime methods.
Additionally, a current National Intelligence Service agent will appear to investigate ongoing romance scams and drug crimes infiltrating South Korea, heightening curiosity.
Meanwhile, 'The Story of That Day' airs every Thursday at 10:20 PM on SBS.
