The horrific killer is 30-year-old Choi Yoon Jong. Police revealed the killer’s face, age, and name. Authorities explained that they had released the information in the public’s interest.

The suspect purchased a weapon and, after scouting the area, had deviously planned his crime, eventually sexually assaulting a woman in the area before murdering her. The crime’s callousness and its severity are undeniable.

We revealed his identity because we have his confession to the crime, CCTV evidence, and the murder weapon. Also, we considered how the public has been nervous due to the recent string of crimes and hope this deters others from committing similar crimes.
