Jeon Hyo-seong cries… Outraged by true story of high-ranking public official’s crime (Kkokkomu)

Singer and actress Jeon Hyo-seong shed tears during the recording of SBS’s ‘The Tale of That Day’.

Episode 159 of ‘The Tale of That Day’ (directed by Lee Dong-won, Go Hye-rin/hereafter ‘Kkokkomu’), which will air on the 9th, will reveal the shocking true story about ‘torture police officer’ Lee Geun-an with the theme of ‘Nameless technician’. Among them, MCs Jang Do-yeon, Jang Hyun-seong, and Jang Sung-kyu, singer Jeon Hyo-seong, actor Park Eun-seok, and announcer Choi Ki-hwan will appear as listeners.

The broadcast will reveal the true story about Lee Geun-an, who was actually active as a torture technician. The story of an ordinary fisherman who suddenly becomes a spy one day is an unbelievable, shocking full story that led to false confessions and false testimonies due to cruel torture, culminating in an unjust execution while shouting “Long Live the Republic of Korea.”

In addition, the families of the actual victims appear in person and tell the vivid truth of that day through interviews. It is said that Jeon Hyo-seong, who was filming a true story that actually happened not long ago, suddenly shed tears during the recording and expressed his despair.

Jeon Hyo-seong hears from Jang Do-yeon that the people who took off their shoes and stepped forward to search for Lee Geun-an were none other than citizens. He was surprised and said, “This isn‘t even the old days of kings. What is this?” and then expressed his anger at the victims’ continued suffering, saying, “It makes me so angry that when people in power have bad intentions, the victims are so ordinary people.”

In particular, the broadcast will reveal the shocking fact that the ‘Torture Technician Lee Geun-an’ case is still ongoing. The unbelievable crime committed by a high-ranking public official and the perpetrators who were desperate to cover it up and avoid it will be fully revealed through the main broadcast of ‘Kkokkomu’ that will air today. It will air on SBS at 10:20 PM on Thursday.
