#285: Korean Influencer Took Break From Social Media & Found Murdered 2 Months Later

28:07I feel like Turkey is a big one for rhinoplasty and veneers. Others will head down to Mexico. South Korea is, regardless of your opinion on it, the plastic surgery capital of the world. The amount of plastic surgeons in South Korea is, it's a lot. And it makes pricing relatively competitive. It makes them competitive with not even just pricing, but standard of care. I mean, they do have their problems. There are cases of very dangerous ghost surgeons, all of that. But that can happen anywhere, really. Not only that, but Aeyong was someone that made a lot of money. She had recently purchased a home in Gangnam.

28:45And this is one of the most expensive parts of Seoul where a tiny apartment can easily go for like two million dollars. It's like someone buying an apartment in New York City. They usually have money, right? It just didn't make sense for her to fly to another country when her backyard is filled with her pick of plastic surgeons and cosmetic doctors. It's just, it was really hard for a lot of Korean netizens to wrap their heads around this. Another thing is, you know, South Koreans typically have a bit of pride on South Korean plastic surgery. Even my family, they're like, if you ever get surgery, Stephanie, you go to Korea.

29:18Not saying that they're better than the doctors in the US, but it's, you know, there's this belief that Koreans know Korean bone structure. It just didn't make sense. A lot of Koreans were arguing all these small details that just didn't add up. Also, considering Aeyong's career, her career on social media was built partly thanks to her appearance. And I know that some people use that to be snarky. I'm saying that with genuine respect. Like it is not easy to build a career online but she built a career online and i'm sure her appearance did play a role in it and i think everyone knows that including ion it just wouldn't make sense for her to go to a random clinic because it could impact her future career if something wasn't done well yeah it's weird doesn't add up so on top of that most people they like to heal in their own beds if you're getting any sort of work done even microneedling or a facial that's even a little bit invasive it's so much nicer to do it at home to bounce back from it.

30:14So the idea that she went there for cosmetic work or plastic surgery just didn't make sense. The idea she went there for healthcare didn't make sense. Then came a new idea from netizens. Maybe the clinic was offering something that wasn't legal in South Korea. Maybe a procedure that wasn't regulated and or approved in South Korea or something of that sorts because it looks like she had gone there for something very specific. A Korean national, so a Korean citizen living in Cambodia, like an expat, they said, it just doesn't make sense. You know, it's not even a Korean clinic. It's not even a small, random Korean clinic.

30:53It's not even like they speak the same language. It just, the only reason for her to have gone to that clinic is because someone recommended her to it or vouched for the establishment. It's not even a well-known clinic amongst locals. It's not like, hey, you're sick. The locals are like, oh, you got to go to this clinic, which makes sense, right? I just don't see anyone walking there on a whim. Either they have no choice or they wanted to go for whatever reason. Basically, netizens believe that Aiyong wouldn't have gone to a clinic like that unless she was going for something that she needed to get under the table.

31:31We're going to get into conspiracies on what that under the table thing is in a little bit. But let's go back to her second visit. On her second visit to the clinic, Aiyong is seen leaving her friend's apartment at around 4 p.m. and she's wearing the same clothes as the day before. This becomes like a whole debate online. Even the fact that she's wearing the same clothes, whole debate. So it's been picked apart. Some people state the fact that she was wearing the same clothes as the day before indicates some sort of mental health crisis, some sort of, because you know, when you become depressed, hygiene becomes an afterthought.

32:03Or maybe if you are feeling some sort of manic episode, hygiene can become an afterthought. I personally don't think so. And I'm going to point out why. So first of all, I don't think that outfit repeating is that uncommon. And her hair was styled differently the next day. Like her hair was groomed. So to me, that indicates she was still keeping up with her hygiene. So she probably wore the same clothes purely because they weren't dirty and not for any other reason. Like if she was having some sort of mental health crisis or wasn't in a good headspace, she most likely wouldn't have even done her hair.

32:36So Aiyong's walk to the clinic the second time was just as unremarkable. Nothing suspicious, nothing out of the ordinary. She wasn't walking too fast. She wasn't walking too slow. Just kind of like the pace you would walk to a convenience store on the weekend. You're not in a rush to get back to work, but you're not also like so slow that you seem like you're so tired. She wasn't being followed as far as the CCTV could tell and she was alone. She walks into the clinic at around 4 10 p.m. that day. We don't have CCTV inside the clinic we just have the outside. 30 minutes pass no activity. An hour passes no activity.

33:19Then almost an hour and a half after Aiyong's first entered the clinic we see the first sign of any movement. 5.52 p.m. The clinic's door that had been left open. So you know how when you're open for business, sometimes you leave the door open for airflow. It was open the whole time? It was open. Oh. Suddenly slammed shut. Someone switches the bright open sign off. And that's not their usual? 5.52 p.m. At a random time in the day, with the patient still inside. Even if you have a patient inside, I get it. If it's closing hours, you don't want new people to come in and you just want to finish this up, I get it.

34:02But usually businesses close at 6 p.m., 6.30 p.m. Okay, even 6.30, I usually see like 6 p.m., 7 p.m., right? I've never heard anyone be like, our opening hours are from 10, 12 a.m. to 5.52 p.m. Yeah, yeah. Regardless, there's still a patient inside. And so for the next 20 minutes, we don't really see too much. then at 6 12 p.m a woman is seen leaving the clinic this is suspected to be the wife of the owner she's almost like peeking down the street is kind of the interpretation of this like when you're waiting for someone to come and you want to surprise them so you're like oh i wonder if they're here you're checking for their car you're checking for signs of them she peeks pivots on her heel and goes back into the clinic three minutes later the sign boards are switched back on open sign is on for hours nothing what do you mean for hours it left on for hours yeah and no activity outside for hours nothing silence it's so quiet no signs of ayong no signs of movement and then we see Rai, the husband, leaving the clinic only to return back on his Vespa.

35:17So he's seen walking out the clinic and then he comes back on in his Vespa. Wait, he left in the Vespa? No. Oh, he walked off? Yeah. And came back with the Vespa? Yeah. And that's at what time? This is around like 9 p.m. Oh my goodness. Yeah, around like 8, 9, yeah. Okay, then the husband comes back with the Vespa then his wife comes out of the clinic gets on his Vespa with him and then they leave. So now they're both it seems like he went to go pick up the Vespa and now he's picking his wife up. And the store is closed finally. Yes. And there's no Aiyong. Where is Aiyong? She's clearly still in the clinic because she's not on that Vespa and she hasn't been seen leaving.

35:57Why would they just leave a patient in the clinic? The street and the clinic become almost dead quiet after this. Zero activity until about four hours later around 1am. a blue Prius rolls into frame. The Prius stops in front of the clinic entrance. The wife jumps out of the passenger side and goes inside the clinic. The husband starts reversing trunk first till the car is tightly positioned next to the entrance of the clinic, like too close. Nobody parks like that. The trunk is also conveniently hidden by the hospital gate and it is like completely out of view from the CCTV. And even if you were walking by the street, you wouldn't really be able to see what's going on in that trunk.

36:42You would just see a Prius's front poking out. It's implied that they do something with the trunk of this car or place someone in the trunk of this car. And then the Prius pulls out, pauses, the wife jumps back into the passenger seat and they start zipping out of frame. That same car with the same license plates would later be caught on CCTV cameras near a construction site 40 minutes away. just going back and forth, back and forth five different times. It is speculated that the couple knew about this construction site because it was close to a super popular fishing site that they were known to frequent.

37:19So if we piece together all the CCTV footage of Aiyong entering the clinic, the couple's car driving around the construction site on June 5th, we know that Aiyong was in the clinic for nine hours. we don't know for how many of those hours she was kept or was still alive her body was left in the construction site june 5th she wouldn't be found till june 6th the only people that can give us answers on what happened between the time that she was alive and walking into the clinic and the time that her body was discovered in the construction site the only people are the couple. The husband has given his side of the story, but it's just, it's not reliable for a lot of reasons, for the obvious reasons that he has incentive to lie, but also he keeps changing his story.

38:07So the first story he tells was that of Aiyong coming into the clinic requesting a Chinese medicinal serum injection, all right? It's kind of like a plasma injection is how he describes it. He said that this would be used to boost the immune system. He injected her as he would anybody else that walked in through the doors and requested such a serum. But this caused a seizure. For whatever reason, she was not taking it well. She was reacting badly. Now, I think that there is emphasis between a lot of people for the serum that he's talking about. A lot of people have come forward, a lot of Chinese netizens have come forward and said, that just doesn't make sense.

38:45This is like a very low stakes injection. It's not like really someone would have to have pre-existing medical conditions or maybe that injection was not clean maybe it was tainted in some way it just doesn't make sense like imagine going into like one of those um new trendy spots where they do those like vitamin ivs yeah okay so kind of like a supplement yeah it's very low stakes and i'm not saying you can't die from those i'm not saying that something can't happen from that but it's not like it's it's not like she's getting injected with something very serious he claimed you know i don't know maybe she had pre-existing medical conditions maybe there was something going on within her body that did not take this well either way because of the illegal nature of his work and the clinic he said he panicked he felt like going to the police wasn't going to bring her back it was only going to ruin his family and his livelihood that he needed for his new child so he got rid of the body which like the story is kind of strange but it's not totally unbelievable.

39:51Maybe you could believe it a little. But later, Rai, the husband, apparently told a journalist a completely different story. According to the journalist that spoke with Rai, he stated at the time, Aiyong came in for injections, the Chinese injection, right? And allegedly, she was saying things like she'd been feeling nervous recently, she hasn't been able to fall asleep well. But because she already had marks from needles on her body, I declined. Instead, I offered to let her take a rest. He stated something along the lines of, She laid down on the bed and fell asleep. I was playing a game on my phone, and when I finally checked on her, I found her foaming at the mouth, unconscious, and she soon died after that.

40:34Okay, so he's claiming that she came in already with substance or whatever in her body, and she laid down and passed away. So he doesn't know if there was something in her body, but she already had too many injection marks and he just didn't feel right giving her another injection. He doesn't know what those injection marks could be. He might be indicating that she was already high on drugs. That's kind of the vibe that he gives later on as well, including his family. So he thinks that she was already on a bunch of substances, walks in, he's like, no, because I'm a good person, I can't give you even more substances.

41:05Why don't you just take a rest? Here's my problem. That's weird. It's weird. You will send them away rather than, hey, sleep on my hospital bed, waiting for something to happen under my watch and i don't even know you and i'm just gonna play phone games while you're just like it's just uncomfortable not just for him but also for her because if you watch the cctv footage of her walking from her friend's apartment to the clinic it's like a maybe a 10 minute walk not even even if you're so tired you would just walk back home because how do you even fall asleep with this you just met him like maybe yesterday maybe you met a few times before this.

41:42We don't know, but still, it's bizarre. Yeah. He continues. And then I found out that her heart was not beating once I checked on her. He realized that this was an emergency. He had to do something. Does he call the authorities? Does he take her to a real clinic or a real hospital? No. He feeds her four to five tablets of traditional herbal medicine. Again, I am not bashing traditional Eastern medicine like my family is a fan of Eastern medicine. I'm so sorry. He's saying at this point, she's already passed. Like her pulse is weak. Like there's no breathing. Basically. Like, yeah, basically she's passed.

42:18And how do you feed someone that cannot? That doesn't make sense. Yeah. And again, like I said, I am all for traditional Eastern medicine. But I just feel like in this situation, it's not the right move here at all. So he administers four to five tablets of Chinese herbal medicine and then tries to give her an oxygen mask. Also, in this new version of events, he tries to cover for his wife and states that she wasn't there when any of this happened. He was alone. This is like so bizarre because it goes against the whole CCTV footage. But he's saying, well, she could have been there. She could have been around, but she was watching our kid.

42:59So she had no idea that this was unfolding. He even goes as far to allege that his wife had no idea that any of this happened, that anything bad happened that day. Literally what? His wife was with him in the Prius. She was probably with him in the Prius when they went to the construction site. So it just doesn't make sense. But he said, my wife didn't know. When we got back to the clinic in the Prius, she got out, she went to the bathroom and I by myself moved the body to the trunk. And then while I was driving towards the construction site, I dropped her off at a restaurant and told her I would be back.

43:32And that's when I abandoned the body by myself. Rai claims that his wife had seen Aiyong and asked, hey, what kind of patient is she? What is she here for? And allegedly his wife saw her sleeping in the clinic as well, but she apparently had no clue that she died in the clinic. Listen, never say never, but the odds of moving a full body to your trunk while your wife is in the restroom and then getting back into the car with your wife, dropping her off at a restaurant to leave to dump the body and then come back, like the odds of doing that seem so slim. But I can see why he lied. They do have a newborn at home, so it would make sense that maybe he would want at least one parent to be present for the kid.

44:10He told the journalist, I did make a horrible mistake like I did. I obviously did this because I have no money. I was scared about my clinic being shut down. I mean, I think that the crime that I should be charged with is abandoning a body. What? But my wife, my wife should not be charged with anything because she was with the baby breastfeeding the whole time. He also dances around his belief and idea that the Cambodian government doesn't want to do a real investigation and they just want to blame it all on the couple. They want to close this case as quickly as possible. He said that first story where they said that I injected her with the Chinese medicine.

44:49I never injected any sort of serum into her. I never said that. The government is using that to get a murder charge. And this is where some diplomatic relationships get called into play. So Rai and his family suggest that the Korean embassy getting involved has escalated this to a potential murder charge. The Cambodian government is trying to please the Korean embassy by trying to get murder on the table. And since Cambodia and the Republic of Korea, the ROK, are close, they want to please Korea. But this doesn't make any sense because China is also a close friend of Cambodia. And from what I can tell, please correct me if I'm wrong, Korea has strong trade relations with Cambodia.

45:29South Korea has also invested about$5 billion into the development of Cambodia since 1997 to, I believe, current date. This could be like two years off. Maybe it's like till 2021, 2022, right? That's a whole lot of money. That's 5 billion reasons why they would want to stay on good terms with ROK. But that's$5 billion in the last 26 years. Meanwhile, in 2021 alone, China invested around$2.3 billion into Cambodia. so I'm sure at this point they have surpassed collectively China has collectively I'm assuming given more than five billion dollars in investments to Cambodia so all this is to say I do think diplomatic relationships can muddy the waters can influence people in cases like this but I don't think it's going to be a deciding factor in this one I don't think Cambodia is going to try and screw people over because of their diplomatic relationships

46:30so anyway at one point the journalist stated he asked why he abandoned the body in the first place and where he even came up with this idea and rye just snapped why are you asking about something that's already passed according to the journalist side note he also claims that he doesn't didn't know of ayong prior to this didn't know that she was an influencer what she did for a living nothing which is interesting obviously the internet didn't believe him and his multiple different versions of events so they came up with their own conclusions a lot of these conspiracies do shift some amount of blame on the victim so I think it's important to note I really don't think it matters why Aion was in that clinic like there is literally almost nothing truly beyond like murder that she could have done had the intention to do that would make what happened to her in any way acceptable.

47:25So I really don't think it matters why she was in there, but I think it just kind of sheds light on what people are thinking about this clinic and what kind of services they were offering. So the first conspiracy is that Aeyong was there for a cosmetic procedure that was illegal in South Korea. Netizens point to the comments made by the security guard from the construction site where she was found that she had marks on her butt region, like IV markings or punctured wounds. Some people speculate that it was from black market butt injections. is that illegal in um so in south korea they do bbls which is like a fat transfer but sometimes um there are black market injections which are so bad for you right like people have died from this and they're like injecting silicone unknown substances straight into the butt it's just it's it's almost like you're getting filler in your butt but it's not how it works you could literally die yeah okay even a bbl is quite dangerous so they thought okay maybe she didn't want a bbl but she wanted these injections so she went to cambodia to get it and maybe someone recommended this clinic but that calls to question who would even which one of her friends had flown how did they even come across this clinic is this clinic reaching out to people to come fly in and saying like we can give you a discount or like what is going on it doesn't make sense but also that's dangerous if they're doing illegal things.

48:46Why would they reach out to people and leave evidence and DMs and stuff like that? And I also imagine if she was getting any sort of these procedures, maybe at least one of her friends would have known, right? Or at least she would have told the couple that she was staying with. Yeah, they have no idea? No, they said, no, absolutely not. We didn't hear anything about that, or at least that the public knows of. So if she was getting a butt injection, maybe the downtime is not that long, but it just doesn't make sense that nobody would know. And South Korea really isn't one of those like hush-hush places where it's like, don't tell anyone I got surgery done.

49:20I mean, usually these days people are pretty open about it, at least amongst your friends. Maybe you don't go and advertise it all around the street, but you tell your friends like, oh, I'm going to get a procedure done tomorrow. I'm so nervous, you know. She probably would have taken someone with her as well. Now, another conspiracy that netizens came up with that was Aiyong was there for drugs. that this clinic wasn't actually a medicinal clinic, a medical clinic, but potentially a drug dealing front. This has nothing to do with Aiyong because from what I can see, Aiyong doesn't seem to have any known history or connections with drug abuse.

49:55So it's a theory that people started mainly because Cambodia has a lot more relaxed laws on drugs than South Korea. There have been scandals where South Koreans, also influencers, will leave South Korea to do drugs in neighboring countries and then come back. So the theory was she went to the clinic, bought drugs, took it, and overdosed. The couple freaked out because they aren't supposed to be doing this and their lives are about to be over and you know the rest. A lot of people believe this because again, the clinic had nobody really going in and out. So how are the couple even making money?

50:30And then like the fact that they're advertising for surgery and stuff like that would maybe, maybe warrant if authorities had come in and found some really hard drugs, they could argue it's not just Chinese herbal medicine we're giving here. We're also performing surgery. Now, the main thing that the netizens think is propofol. And I think that this has to do with a connection because there was another South Korean famous comedian who died in Cambodia because of a propofol overdose. That one is, yeah. Okay, so there's a lot of conversations about propofol in Cambodia, or at least in South Korea there is.

51:06Propofol is like a heavy anesthetic that needs to have an anesthesiologist present. So this makes sense because you're thinking, okay, well, if she was on like, she's trying to get weed, which is highly illegal in South Korea, she'd probably go home and have a blast by herself, right? But with this, you need to have someone there. You need to have someone to monitor you. It's the medicine that they use to put you to sleep with when you go in for surgery. In the US, it is super, super, super, super regulated. it's stated that the high is incredibly addicting it's a state of euphoria and it's not just regulated for that reason but it's regulated because you can easily die like anesthesiologists they're there for a reason the theory is that while being administered that she would have to stay in the clinic and then she passed away some netizens thought no this is not a clinic that is a drug dealing front there were a lot of chinese netizens who were offended by this theory because they're saying this seems to be a reoccurring thing anytime we go abroad and we start a business people think like we're maybe it's all the western movies where behind the Chinese restaurant you enter the kitchen and it's like a gambling den and all of that but they're like we're literally just like everybody else just trying to make a living and like they did something illegal but they probably just wanted to provide Chinese herbal medicine and just didn't have a license.

52:24They were arguing that Aoyang was probably already high when she came in and she happened to overdose in the clinic. This theory was more or less pushed by the couple's own family members. They insisted that the victim was under the influence before arriving at the clinic. I do think that there is xenophobia involved in this case, even just the sources that we were able to find. There is like this undertone of dislike towards Chinese nationals, which is a whole thing. My husband is Chinese, so like I'm sure if you guys know any Chinese friends, you know the struggle right now. But I will say this one I don't necessarily believe because mainly of the CCTV footage of Aiyan going into the clinic.

53:03She just appears so normal. A lot of professors and doctors gave their opinions and stated if she were under the influence of something to the point of overdosing in that clinic, even in her gait, in her stance, the way that she walked to the clinic, there would have been something that indicated that. Certain drugs make you walk unsteady. Other drugs make you walk very lethargic. It almost feels like it takes all the energy to get the next step. Other drugs will limit mobility. So there must have been something that indicated anything, but she just looks very normal and she seems very sound of mind in the footage.

53:39As further proof of that, Aeyong's friends came out to release text messages between her and Aeyong. Now, her friend was in Korea. Aeyong's friend is in Korea at the time, and they were texting while Aeyong was on the way to the clinic. Their texts give us no insight. Aiyong's not even really talking about the clinic, but she doesn't misspell a single thing. She's not fantasizing or talking about something that feels like, whoa, what's going on? This is so random. It's just a very normal, coherent conversation. She's communicating clearly and rationally. And reportedly, Aiyong's drug test results after her death came back negative.

54:15Wow, okay. Then there is the most sinister of conspiracy theories, that Aiyong was essayed and that was the main motive of the crime. Now, this conspiracy, I'm going to only dive into half of it. If you do your own research online, there's another half of it where there are allegations of international human trafficking or essay rings. And again, I feel like it touches a little bit too much on so many different variables. And like the only proof that they're bringing up is basically like, okay Cambodia is a smaller nation and then they're like I'm sure China has human trafficking and it's like okay well everywhere has human trafficking so I don't know how you can use this as an example because this can happen to you literally anywhere in the United States in New York City in California in Canada it's just spreading fear and conspiracy without any evidence yeah and I would say it's like just think about the damage it does not just to the people involved and all of the nations involved, but specifically Cambodia, because I know that Cambodia heavily relies on their tourism income to boost their economy.

55:21And so to spread that type of like, oh, look at the dark, shady things that are happening. Very scary. You know, like you don't really know how much impact that could give. So this one, I'm just going to narrow it down to the theory that I think could be feasible, which is that it was an SA motivated crime, but it's not because of a whole ring or a whole operation between two different countries and all of that, it's potentially that the theory is that maybe the clinic had reached out to her offering some sort of services. Maybe they already knew her as a client because again, it seems like she's going there with purpose.

55:55It seems like she already knows where this place is and Rai, the husband, potentially assaulted her on this occasion. Why do people think that? Because she was found without a bra on and her undergarments were inside out. The theory is either the husband lured her to the clinic so that he could essay her, or already knew her from her visiting the clinic and then the second day decided to essay her, or just it was a spur of the moment. People speculate that potentially he drugged her to essay her, and some even go further and say potentially he recorded it to extort her for money if he knew that she was a famous influencer.

56:34There are a lot of dark conspiracies, but the general gist of this theory is that he drugged her, essayed her, and then didn't think that she would die from the drugs. But now there was no going back. Of course, we won't know of any of these theories until the investigation is done, until the autopsy is done, and the medical examiner confirms or denies these allegations. But I do think that it is something the investigators need to look into. Some netizens feel like the underwear thing is not a big thing at all. They're like, this has nothing to do with anything. Some netizens stated that when you're traveling, you might not have access to washing your undergarments often.

57:09So you might want to conserve the fresh ones by wearing them inside out. So you get two uses out of one. But to me, this one doesn't make as much sense. So she just got there a few days ago. And the part that really doesn't make sense to me is that Koreans are actually no stranger to washing undies by hand. It's like a very Korean thing to wash your undies in the bathroom sink. I actually know a lot of Koreans that do that. So it wouldn't make sense. She would just have washed it at night after she showered and hang dried it. So after this detail comes out, Aeong's friends and netizens are pretty angry at the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

57:42They're arguing that Korea has the right to request criminals who commit crimes against Korean nationals in foreign land, basically saying Korea can ask Cambodia to hand over the suspects so that they can be tried in Korea. And because Korea and Cambodia have such strong ties, they could easily ask for that. Now, I don't know if it's as easy as netizens are stating or if it's just another diplomatic can of worms that would be opened up, I don't know what's going on, but Korea has not done that. And Rai denies these allegations and conspiracies, and he says, do an autopsy. There will be none of my DNA there.

58:16But as of right now, we don't really have any answers. An autopsy could have provided some insight, some answers perhaps, but Aeyong's loved ones initially declined an autopsy when her body was first found. It's a procedure that a lot of people think to be incredibly disrespectful to the dead. so after a month passed so early July loved ones finally agreed to do an autopsy so till those results are made public we don't have much more information what's happening to the couple? are they just arrested? they have been detained not arrested yeah it's interesting yeah so the Cambodian justice system works a little bit differently so they've been detained the Cambodian justice system has about three years to investigate and press charges okay So we do have clarification on the state that her body was found in.

59:04Remember how witnesses stated that her body seemed to have gone through what seemed to be tremendous amounts of torture and pain? Authorities claim that there were no serious trauma marks on the body. They believe that witnesses like the security guard at the construction site had no forensic knowledge and misunderstood what is of typical decomposition. And when that got out, the press ran with it. They even sprinkled in more details. Media outlets reported that Aiyong was found covered in bruises, beaten, brutalized, tortured with orbital fractures, neck bone fractures and traumatic bruising, which is just so specific without an autopsy.

59:38So another clarification that we got was Aiyong's cause of death was asphyxiation. Now, asphyxiation in this sense could mean she was manually strangled or her airways were not working because of drugs. it's really it still doesn't really answer too much it's also estimated that she died around 6 p.m which gives the couple another six hours before they allegedly put ayong in the car if that is true if that is true six hours is how long they could have called an ambulance changed their minds contacted the police but they didn't in any case like i said the couple were detained if we're technical about it they have yet to be charged with murder so the charges they could face are either murder or illegal medical care as well as potentially assault.

1:00:29So they've been detained. They're not out free. They're in a detention center. Albeit, it's not as strict as like a prison or a jail, but you know, so with that, people are kind of split. Some netizens feel like the couple opened up a clinic, knew what they were doing, and they never really meant to hurt anyone. Maybe they were just desperate to put food on the table. they thought that they were maybe even helping people. They tried their best, but when Aiyong died, they did what they stupidly thought was the best decision for their futures. Others believe the couple is pure evil. They're con artists waiting for vulnerable patients to take advantage of.

1:01:05Maybe they wanted to sell more and more services that they couldn't deliver on. Maybe they were trying to exploit Aiyong's money, or maybe they sought her out. Maybe they targeted her, lured her to the clinic. I don't know. I will say that this case in itself is already very dark, but there was another depressing element that I just wasn't expecting. Most netizens from what I could see really grieved for Aiyong, regardless of if they had watched her or not before her passing. But there were some netizens that said some of the most insane, heinous things I've read in a while. Some commented on her old dancing videos, things like, what a waste i wish i could have at least done her once this is after after her death what a waste someone was potentially murdered and you're sad that she died before you could probably essay her or saying things like she did good dying she wasn't adding to society all because her dances were a little bit more provocative or at least by their standards wow someone even commented sarcastically.

1:02:15Now you can dance like that in heaven if you even make it there. Some said she probably went to Cambodia for some guy to buy her a Rolex. So why should I be sad? Where do you even get that? Literally? And okay, so what if she did? If you're on the way to the store to buy a Rolex and you're murdered, should I be like, why should I be sad? That's crazy. Like what kind of logic is that? Someone commented, live a money hungry life and this is what you get. Other gold diggers should learn from this outcome. Again, just because she was making money on social, there is a thing, I'm gonna just say it, okay?

1:02:50There is such a strong hatred for women who make money on social media and some of that money is made from their looks. There's like, or their body. There is like a deep rooted hatred in some people. Why? Do you also hate models and actors who are probably only on screen because they're visually appealing? Or do you praise them for being celebrities and talented? Like, it's so crazy. In response to all of this, a close friend of Aiyong said, this was the kind of girl that had a hard time asking for refunds. She was timid. She was a very gentle person. And now everyone online is accusing her of being this gold digger, money hungry like because she earned a lot of money as a live streamer so now that's her whole personality is money hungry and because she earned a lot of money now everyone needs to tie that money to something illegal or suspicious it's just not the case another friend said it is so upsetting to see so many people spreading lies about her they don't know how badly it's making the people that love her feel.

1:04:02She died painfully and she doesn't deserve more hate. And what's so sad is while hateful netizens were picking fights with Aiyong's defenders and just normal people with souls, there was a small Cambodian grandma that laid out food in Cambodia for Aiyong. A Cambodian tradition as well. It's a thing, is it a thing in China? In Korea, you also lay out like ancestral food to leave, you know, for the departed. and this grandma who probably doesn't look on social media for updates, she cried for Aiyong. She didn't ask all these questions. She didn't ask, well, why did Aiyong come to Cambodia? She didn't ask, well, why did she go to that clinic?

1:04:47What was Aiyong's job before this? She just cried about how sad it was to lose such a young life. So there are still a lot of questions in this case, more questions than answers. Another big one is where is Aiyong's phone? She was seen holding it while walking into the clinic. It wasn't found on her body in the construction site. So where is it? Was there something incriminating on her phone that the police shouldn't have seen? Is that why it's no longer found? Did someone do something to her phone? And I know that there's a lot of different elements at play. Like we've got, like I said, a Korean victim, two accused Chinese killers and it all happened on Cambodian soil and there's just so much nuance to it like Cambodia is working so hard for their tourism economy and then this thing takes place and there might have already been different types of discrimination amongst certain netizens towards countries like Cambodia so I want it to be as clear and as clear as possible this can happen literally anywhere and I don't think the actions of one or two people or even the country that it takes place has anything to do with this type of senseless crime.

1:05:57So keep that in mind and let's be nice in the comments and please make sure to stay safe and I will see you guys on Sunday for the mini-sode. Bye!
