The Burning Sun Scandal | 2018
It all unraveled from a seemingly minor altercation in November 2018. Kim Sang-Kyo noticed a woman struggling and tried to help, only to be forcefully removed by security and beaten outside Seoul's infamous nightclub, Burning Sun. But when Kim tried to report the incident to police, he was repeatedly stonewalled and ignored, pushing him to seek the support of netizens and the media. This would ultimately lead to a turning point in January 2019, when an investigative television series picked up his story, and exposed the festering rot within.

The Torture Bunker | Leonard Lake and Charles Ng |1983 | 2/2
In 1985, what seemed on the surface to be a routine call for petty theft soon escalated into something unimaginable. Authorities arrived on the scene and began questioning the suspect, only to find that his face didn't match the picture on the ID provided, the car's registration showed that it belonged to someone else, and more disturbingly, the suspect had a pistol with an illegal silencer in the trunk of his car. Things would only get more confusing as the suspected admitted to living under false names, and mentioned several others as well. But before the police could pry any deeper, he had swallowed a cyanide pill and died in the hospital days later. Part 1 - We trace the background of the suspect, revealed as Leonard Lake, as well as that of his mysterious partner, Charles Ng. Part 2 - We pick up from the heinous crimes that the duo have embarked upon within their bunker, and the disturbing details that would be uncovered from its depths.
