Lee Je-hoon Unravels 15-Year-Old Murder Mystery in 'Taxi Driver 3'

Lee Je-hoon delivers justice as he confronts the ultimate villain, Um Moon-suk, and solves a 15-year-old unsolved murder case.

In the episode of SBS's 'Taxi Driver 3' aired on the 13th at 9:45 PM, Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) and the Rainbow Taxi heroes uncover the truth behind the death of Jin Gwang University volleyball player Park Min-ho (played by Lee Do-han) and bring down the mastermind villain, Cheon Gwang-jin (played by Um Moon-suk).

The episode reveals that Cheon Gwang-jin, the grandson of the first chairman of Jin Gwang University, sponsored the volleyball team, including Park Min-ho. However, when Park Min-ho discovered the sponsorship was a front for match-fixing and attempted to report it to the police, tragedy ensued.

Cheon Gwang-jin threatened Park Min-ho, saying, "Who would believe you? Everyone knows we're close. If you report it, you're an accomplice too," and tried to silence him by mentioning Jo Sung-wook (played by Shin Joo-hwan) and Lim Dong-hyun (played by Moon Soo-young), who were involved in the match-fixing. Despite Park Min-ho's attempt to persuade Lim Dong-hyun to go to the police with him, Lim ignored him.

Cheon Gwang-jin, witnessing the situation, violently attacked Park Min-ho with a volleyball and a wooden stick, and even instigated Lim Dong-hyun to join in the assault. Severely injured, Park Min-ho managed to escape the gymnasium, only to be run over by Cheon Gwang-jin's car, leading to his death.

Lim Dong-hyun, arriving at the scene in panic, was silenced by Cheon Gwang-jin, who falsely accused him of the crime, saying, "Didn't Park Min-ho leave after fighting in the locker room? Why report it to the police? Did you beat him up?" Cheon Gwang-jin promised Lim Dong-hyun and Jo Sung-wook, "I'll take care of your lives," and concealed the crime by disposing of Park Min-ho's body at his grandmother's grave with Jo Sung-wook. Later, he attempted to kill Park Min-ho's father, Park Dong-soo (played by Kim Ki-chun), in a similar manner to silence the truth.

Kim Do-gi and the Rainbow Taxi team, while investigating, realized there was another perpetrator behind Jo Sung-wook and Lim Dong-hyun. When Park Min-ho's body was discovered, Cheon Gwang-jin tortured Lim Dong-hyun and pressured Jo Sung-wook. His ultimate goal was to eliminate anyone who knew the truth and steal Park Min-ho's body to erase all evidence. Upon hearing this from Ahn Go-eun (played by Pyo Ye-jin), Kim Do-gi deduced, "This is intentional murder," and sensed Park Dong-soo was in danger.

Cheon Gwang-jin confronted Park Dong-soo, realizing Kim Do-gi was helping him, and mocked Kim Do-gi, saying, "Are you the one helping this old man? How much is he paying you? I can pay you more." He then lured Kim Do-gi into a survival game, turning it into a gambling event on the dark web.

Kim Do-gi cleared all rounds and, with Ahn Go-eun's help, found and subdued Cheon Gwang-jin in the broadcasting room. Despite Cheon Gwang-jin's pleas for medical help, Kim Do-gi retorted, "Park Dong-soo, whom you hit with a car, must have felt the same. What did you do then? Did you just watch?"

Cheon Gwang-jin, showing his madness, shouted, "You're going to kill me anyway," and "You should remember this." Kim Do-gi then showed him the hourglass Park Min-ho's father used to remember his son daily, asking, "Think until the sand runs out. Is there anyone who truly remembers you?" thus concluding his revenge.

Kim Do-gi successfully returned Park Min-ho's body to his father, Park Dong-soo, who, regaining his memories of his son, called Jung Sung-chul, saying, "You should personally see off my son, Park Min-ho, on his final journey," and headed to a place Park Min-ho loved.
