The Killers Who Changed a Country

About this episode

A man who hunted the wealthy and the vulnerable. A serial predator who evaded justice for decades. And a public murder that ignited a feminist movement. Heidi Wong explores the real history of violence in South Korea: examining the Raincoat Killer, the Hwaseong murders, the Gangnam Station attack, and how these crimes shaped a brutal meditation on revenge: I Saw the Devil.
