On the SBS ‘I Want to Know That’, which will air on the 5th, the shocking secret hidden in the death of a famous influencer will be investigated.


● Sudden death notice and overturned cause of death

According to the production team of ‘I Want to Know That’, Kim Woong-seo was a health YouTuber and the CEO of a franchise company with dozens of stores who were on the rise. News of his sudden death was reported on February 3rd. The person who discovered Kim Woong-seo‘s death that afternoon and reported it to the police was his former live-in girlfriend, Hong Joo-young (pseudonym). She posted the news of Kim Woong-seo’s death on his SNS, saying that he had ‘died in an accident’, which was the beginning of the controversy.

Later, when Kim Woong-seo‘s company posted a memorial message saying that he had died of ‘heart attack’, various speculations about the cause of death poured in. The funeral began in disarray amid suspicions that he died from drugs, but at midnight that night, people were shocked. A message that appeared to have been written in advance while he was alive was posted on Kim Woong-seo’s YouTube channel.


● A cursed will posted at midnight

“Mr. Kim OO, who committed a large-scale fraud. Even after I die, I will resent and curse you.” - The will of the late Kim Woong-seo

Mr. Kim Woong-seo hinted at an extreme choice in his post. Why did he give up his own life, and who was his target, Ms. Kim OO? However, it is said that Mr. Kim Woong-seo‘s will, which was posted at midnight, was deleted 4 minutes later. The person who deleted it was Hong Joo-young, his former live-in girlfriend who had Mr. Kim Woong-seo’s cell phone. Why did she report his death as an ‘accidental death’, and even delete the will?

When Kim Woong-seo‘s family received the call and arrived at the funeral home, his former live-in girlfriend Hong was said to be acting as the chief mourner. What’s more surprising is that Kim O-O, who was mentioned as the subject of the curse in Kim Woong-seo‘s will, was also wearing mourning clothes at her request. It is said that the two left the funeral home only after a commotion caused by the family’s protest.


● Shocking secrets contained in 1,700 recorded phone calls

“I was the one who drove Kim Woong-seo to death. Kim Woong-seo wasn‘t the type to be gaslighted. It was absurd.” - Hong Joo-young (pseudonym) / The late Kim Woong-seo’s former live-in girlfriend

Hong Joo-young, who is at the center of controversy, stood in front of the camera. Hong is said to have been wronged by the accusations that she knew about the danger signs of Kim Woong-seo in advance, but did not stop them. How much did she know about Kim Woong-seo‘s death? Also, what kind of relationship did Kim Woong-seo have with Mr. Kim OO, whom he wrote in his will, that he asked him to act as chief mourner at the funeral?

The father, who was shocked by the news of Kim Woong-seo’s sudden death, said that he restored 1,700 recorded phone calls through his son‘s cell phone forensics. After listening to all 430 of them, including the phone calls between his son and Hong Joo-young, the father learned a shocking truth. What on earth is the real reason for Kim Woong-seo’s death and the secret hidden within it?

The broadcast will be on Saturday, the 5th at 11:10 p.m.
