On May 6, 2024, a 25-year-old medical student surnamed Choi murdered his partner on a rooftop near Gangnam Station in Seoul, South Korea. Once celebrated for achieving a perfect score on the country's university entrance examination, Choi had secretly registered his marriage to Nam just weeks earlier.
When Nam's family opposed the marriage and she wanted to end the relationship, investigators say Choi feared losing his academic future. He purchased a knife, arranged to meet her, and carried out a planned attack. In this episode of You Can't Unhear, we explore the Gangnam rooftop murder, the secret marriage, the evidence of premeditation, the trial, and the devastating consequences of control and rejection.
