#352: The Nurses Watch Him Bleed Out On The Operating Table Because The Doctor Went Home

28:56And each surgery was slated to last around five hours. I mean, it's literally impossible unless this guy has a time machine. So as these stories start making headlines, a ghost doctor comes out anonymously to expose the industry. And he said, what's fascinating is that if you perform the surgery and you help consult the patient, like you are talking to the patient, closing that deal, you get 5 % of the total surgery profit. If you just consult with the patient and you close that deal, you get 3 % of the surgery profit. If you do no consultation and you just perform the ghost surgery, you get 2%.

29:32You get less by doing the surgery versus just doing a consult. That's insane. Because closing the deal is more important than I guess their quality of work. And that's not a lot of money they're getting paid. Like 5%, that's like, imagine the surgery cost like a few thousand right let's say five thousand for a surgery five percent five thousand so two hundred fifty dollars yeah well a lot of it is like doctors who want training some of them aren't even doctors they just like want to be trained and i guess they're just happy to have free training plus they get a little hustle money on the side which is so alarming like for plastic surgery that's so scary like you're fixing my face for life no thank you so essentially they were saying that a lot of these clinics are set up by investors who put money into a clinic and they pick the most charismatic doctor that they can find.

30:26Not even the most talented, just the one that is the most TV presentable. The one that looks like an authoritative doctor, the one that talks really well, the one that is smooth talking, not the awkward one that's really good at what they do, but it's not a people person. No, they pick the charismatic doctor. They get celebrity endorsements. That's their investment. They have this doctor go on all these TV shows talking about plastic surgery. Maybe they start a YouTube channel. Maybe they work with some influencers. They build that trust. And then when people come out as new patients, of course, they want to see this famous doctor.

31:02And the famous doctor will basically sit there and do consultation after consultation after consultation, have them sign the papers, pay the money, book the services, and pretend like they're the one doing the surgery. but they're not because they've got a basement full of ghost doctors. The ghost doctor said it's like literally a basement where you just have pagers and you just random, you don't even know ahead of time. Or am I going to do a nose job today? Or am I doing a jawline surgery? You just get paged. You enter the operating room and they're like, Hey, fix up this jaw. We're just going to shave it into a V.

31:32And then once they're done with that, they go back into the whole basement room and wait for another call, which is crazy. Also side note, I don't know why I'm getting this flashback but like when i first started youtube a korean plastic surgery company reached out to me and was like we will fly you to korea if you vlog your experience getting plastic surgery with us yeah yeah yeah and i was like i will opt out which anyway again this makes it seem like i am against plastic surgery i'm not i'm just against ghost doctors and like shady plastic surgery businesses because they don't protect the patient they literally hurt the patient Now, anyway, there's no schedule.

32:10These ghost doctors will literally randomly operate on whoever the needs them. So they'll just come in in the middle of a nose job and just figure it out. Just figure it out. Then the head doctor and the investors will make tens of millions a year if successful, which they would never be able to do if the famous doctor actually did all of the surgeries themselves. I think that's insane. A doctor came out to say to run a successful plastic surgery hospital, it's not even about how skilled you are. It's about how good you are at consulting and marketing. So why does South Korea do this if it's illegal?

32:42Someone who orders or performs an unlicensed medical act is subject to a maximum of five years in prison or a fine of$44 ,000, which is a drop in the bucket for these head surgeons that are profiting tens of millions of dollars a year. For example, a doctor who asked a nurse to perform double eyelid surgery and nose surgery at least 90 times Got a three month suspension and no fine Suspension? Yeah, he just like couldn't perform surgeries Not that he was to begin with For like three months So he took a vacation Yeah And another doctor who asked a medical device company employee Like a salesperson of medical devices To perform at least 58 surgeries Got a three month suspension Nothing even happened to their license What is going on?

33:31So obviously, I mean the laws are not as relaxed here but I mean it's so hard to even prove that they did anything that's why they get such a small little fine now anyway back to Tay's story he was operated on by a ghost doctor who was unqualified literally didn't even have a plastic surgery license and he had studied to be a general doctor in medical school he was left unattended for hours at a time with no kind of doctor around he was left with nursing assistants who had no care that he was bleeding out in front of them because all the doctors decided to go home. Even the freaking ghost doctor went home.

34:05So Tay's family, they're furious when they're watching the CCTV. His mom said, I don't think that any of these doctors, there were three, the main doctor, the ghost doctor, and the anesthesiologist. Not a single one of them checked how much he bled. Not one freaking time. And then the plastic surgeons had the audacity to try and fake medical records, and they tried to lie that they provided a blood transfusion, which I guess they forgot that they gave Mrs. Lee the CCTV or maybe they didn't think that she was going to study every millisecond of it but she proved that they were lying. And despite Tae dying, the plastic surgery clinic remained open and bragged about how not a single patient was hurt in their 14 years of operation.

34:50Which was a complete lie. But the clinic argued that Tae actually died in the hospital and the ER was at fault and not them. So yeah, Tae's mom wasn't going to let them do that. She actually found Tae's bucket list at home and he was 24 years old when he passed. So he had his whole life ahead of him. And he had written on there as number 15 of his bucket list that he wanted to do before he died was to make a difference in the world. So Mrs. Lee, she felt like that was her duty as his mother. She felt so angry, like for not only just what happened to him, but what happened to so many people. Like she was finding these online forums of people anonymously saying they're so embarrassed because even though plastic surgery is so common, you don't really talk about it in Korea.

35:34It's not really openly talked about. That's why idols act like they never got surgery, even though, like, you know that they probably did. Kind of like here where the Kardashians are like, we never had a BBL. What are you talking about? So no one wanted to come forward, even if they suspected ghost surgery had botched their face. so she's like wow there are people suffering in silence because they don't have a cctv so she was insanely lucky to be have given the cctv footage she would never have had a court case without it so she fought the plastic surgeons and may of 2019 she won 381 000 which honestly doesn't sound like a lot because we always listen to settlements in the u.s that are in the millions but this is quite a lot for a south korean case of death which is is so depressing too and the three doctors are now facing criminal charges of manslaughter and in may of 2022 of this year the head of the plastic surgery clinic the one that was supposed to perform the surgery he was given a fine of 5600 dollars and sentenced to three years in prison that's the amount of money that he paid less yeah basically refunded the money that he charged after killing someone yeah and got three years in prison for killing someone and okay listen I get it.

36:50Sometimes doctors are put in really tricky situations where the patient is already dying and they're operating. This was not one of those situations. This was not when the doctor did everything in their power and the patient still died. This is like straight up he had no care for life. But that wasn't all. Mrs. Lee was not happy about this. She spent literally every waking moment of her life outside the parliament in South Korea because she wanted change. Each day she would be out there just mandating CCTV be in all operating rooms. She wanted it to be called the Quan Tehi bill. Doctors vehemently opposed this bill.

37:26They said, whoa, if you do this bill, we won't be as comfortable saving lives. Why? People were like, yeah, why? The public was suddenly like, wait, that just makes me feel more gross. What are you talking about? They also said, no, no, no. The patients don't want this because we would lose the trust in the patients. Like the patients would be like, why do you need to cctv and everyone online was like hi fellow patient here we're fine we want a camera in the operating room yeah so what the bill finally passed and it was called the kwan daehee law requiring cctv and ors and south korea is actually the first country to do this on a national level wow yeah she did it yeah she did it she did it there are exceptions so you can't have operating cameras in emergency operations, operations involving high risk to save a patient's life, which makes sense because in those situations, there's no right or wrong thing to do.

38:26It's such a gray area where you're just trying everything to save this patient's life because they're dying actively. So to be criticized, I can see why from a doctor's perspective, that's really dangerous. And even from the patient's perspective. So those are the exceptions and in training purposes, which I don't know why that's an exception because wouldn't you want to record it anyway because you're training so then you can show it to other students too weird now a lot of people believe that this law will make sure that no assaults are happening or at least decrease it because that's a huge thing too yeah so that's freaking great and also the older i get the more i realize the world kind of sucks i don't know what to say like the fact that this isn't already a thing and the fact that like hospitals can be so shady.

39:11Just kind of sucks. I was talking to my sister the other day about the ins and outs of a hospital because she was a resident at one point, a resident pharmacist there. It's so shady. Think of, think of a hospital as like a Walmart because at the end of the day, it's about business. It's not even about your life, but I'm sure you already knew that if you live in the States.

39:45there are a lot of stories i can't believe we're talking about this again but there are a lot of stories coming out about the past and or scandals about the squid game actors and sometimes i feel like the real stories about some of these actors is worse than the show itself which like how can it be worse than a show about contestants fighting to stay alive hunger game style while they fight over a lottery-sized jackpot and a building-sized pig. Okay, if you haven't seen the show, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds. I'm not even exaggerating. So this is Lee Sang-hee, and he recently jump-started his career again with his supporting role in the Squid Games.

40:20So he was number 17 in the show, and I feel like his character gets most of the screen time near the end. He's not one of the main characters. So he's a glass factory worker, and he was helping the main cast cross the bridge remember where the bridge falls okay okay yeah so um i believe he dies in the game in the game in the game okay well in 2016 before squid game came out mr lee and his family were on a korean reality show called unanswered questions it's kind of like 60 minutes like an interview but a little bit more casual but it's not a fun reality show it's usually where people come and they talk about serious controversies or unsolved mysteries that have happened in their lives.

41:05And in this episode, the Lee family opened up about the weird, strange, and unjustified murder of their oldest son in 2010. In 2010, Jin Soo, I'm going to call him Jin, was the oldest son of the family, and he was 19 years old in 2010. Now, he had spent his whole life in Korea. I think that he had vacationed and went abroad a couple times, but, you know, primarily that was his country of residence. his dream was to go to the united states to study. both his parents, they want him to succeed. they want him to chase his ambitions, but at the same time, it's their firstborn child. they want to go to the other side of the world.

41:43i mean, you're gonna be a little bit nervous. you're gonna be a little bit stressed. jin's mom especially was taking it really hard. she felt like, at least in her eyes, he was still just a kid. like he wasn't ready for this crazy life change and add to that. It's a 16 hour time difference. It's not even like he's living in a different hour. He's living in a different day from her. But he wanted to go study in LA and the family did have family there. So he wasn't going to be completely alone. He was going to be living with his uncle. So after Jin left, every single morning, Mrs. Lee would wake up and the minute that she opened her eyes, she would say a little prayer for Jin.

42:22One morning, she prayed that she would see her son soon. She just wanted to know that he was happy and safe and completely out of left field. She said this is I mean, like she doesn't really believe in stuff like this prior to this, but she saw Jin's face, not just in her vision, like really saw his face, not just a picture on her phone. She saw him walk through her bedroom door and it was so bizarre that she genuinely thought that she was hallucinating. She's sitting there like, oh my God, do I need to take meds do i need to go to therapy because what is going on why is my son walking in through my bedroom door maybe he came surprise her no but it was just like a really eerie feeling where he wasn't like hey mom surprise it was just very eerie and she felt like her mind was playing tricks on her so she blinked and he was still there it was just the strangest thing and it sent a shiver down her spine and what's worse is that it didn't feel like a good sign he didn't seem happy.

43:19Suddenly, whatever or whoever was in front of her, he opened his mouth and blood started dripping out. And before he faded away, he said, I love you, mom. And immediately, Mrs. Lee, I mean, can you even blame her? She freaked out. She called her family in California and she just had this really sinking feeling, this bad feeling that every bone in her body, every fiber of her being was telling her that something was very very wrong it was around 1 p.m in california and jin's mom said that jin should be in school by now but when she called a relative they said oh my god i can't believe you just called i was about to call you jin was on the way to school but we literally just got word that for some reason he's on the way to the hospital we don't know what's going on we don't know what happened but apparently there was a fight between jin and a white football player and jin's been injured and he's being sent to the hospital so that is some mother that's what i'm saying and i heard okay i know some people might not believe in this but i heard mother's intuition is so strong i wonder how it works yeah i'm kind of curious to hear more about these stories yeah about the mother intuition i wonder because what is there many cases how do you explain that right did you know a baby thinks that they're a part of the mom for six months what does that mean like a baby after being born genuinely thinks that the mom and the baby are one unit they don't distinguish the mom as like a separate unit so maybe there's like some sort of connection that's left behind but it's so weird yeah how do you even feel something like biologically speaking yeah what is the scientific research of this i need to know because it happens in so many stories and i believe it like i believe it fully yeah me too yeah it's weird so anyway she makes that phone call and now she's like are you serious like what is happening after the initial update the news only got worse it was almost back to back like just gut punches in the stomach by the time that he reached the or he was brain dead and it was just devastating just 15 minutes ago mrs lee had woken up praying for a good day and she had seen her son walk through her bedroom door and now now she's been told that her entire life had been ripped apart and her son is brain dead in california which is half a world away like on the other side of the world.

45:36So immediately they start making arrangements to fly to California, but it would take a full 48 hours for them to get out there. They needed to book the flight. The flight itself would take 11 hours. And I can't even imagine what those 48 hours felt like. I can't even imagine. Just imagine sitting on a plane where you can't pace around and leave and cry for 11 hours, knowing that your son is brain dead in the hospital. You can't even call them for 11 hours because you're on a plane. Like I can't imagine that level of helplessness and stress. So when the family get to California, they were met with a slew of reporters outside the hospital.

46:10And Mr. Lee immediately felt alarmed. The reporters were asking the couple, what made you decide to donate your son's body? What? And they were so confused. Like, what do you mean we're donating his freaking body? Like, why would you think that? Why would you say that? We literally just got here from California, from Korea. Who even told you that? But they're not trying to argue. They're just trying to get to their son. So they're like, what? What are you saying? they rush inside the hospital and inside the hospital, the same thing, okay? The doctors informed the family that Jin was brain dead.

46:40The odds of him ever waking up from his coma or functioning like a human were basically non-existent. But that's not all. The respiratory system that was keeping Jin alive was very expensive. The family would have to cover it if they needed to keep him hooked up to the machines. So it was the hardest decision any parent ever had to make. and with a very heavy heart, the family cut off Jin's life support. And I don't know what you want in those moments. Like, I don't know if there's anything in the world that will bring you some semblance of peace or like closure. I'm sure there's nothing, but what they definitely wanted was some quiet.

47:20But immediately people started walking into the room asking if they would donate Jin's body. I mean, why not, right? They're thinking, okay, well, if we donate his organs, he could at least save lives. And why wouldn't we? I mean, it feels kind of good. It's like he's giving life in a sense and his body will be out there. You know, his organs will be saving people. It's a good idea. It gave the family comfort. So yes, they told the people with the clipboards that they would donate Jin's organs. But right before they signed the contract, a nurse pulled Mrs. Lee aside. Like she was like, psst, come here.

47:57she glanced around nervously and she said wait we have to go somewhere without cameras so mrs lee is like what they get somewhere and she quietly asked do you know what you just signed away did she sign or not yet not yet almost what are you talking about we're donating we're donating his organs that they're not here for organ donation you're donating his whole body that's what you're signing off to you're donating his body to science literally everything you will no longer have his body it's not just his internal organs everything his brain his skin his joints his bones his whole body is going to be gone you will have no one to bury at the funeral you're donating his whole body for science but that's not the point your son was likely murdered so if you donate his whole body you can't have an autopsy to figure out what happened nobody told Jin's mom this thank god for someone with like like i get it you need to donate bodies to science because that's how the people in the medical field advance and that's how we get better health care and we get more experience and knowledge but at the same time he was murdered like you would never you would never do that donating someone's body to science is one thing but the fact that you do it in such a weird way where you know for a fact that they think you're just donating organs and they're gonna get their son back to bury and ray let rest in peace but you're tricking them essentially like it's really fucked up and there's a whole thing about it okay but anyway jin's mom was so taken aback she had no idea like that's what they were signing up for nobody made it clear for her sure you could say it was a language barrier but nobody made sure that she knew that it was a whole body donation versus an organ donation so it's said that a lot of the times whole body donation is to be studied for science a lot of the times medical students will practice on cadavers.

49:48So later on, they're well-equipped to be doctors. And I don't know where you guys stand on whole body donation. I know most people agree with organ donation, but they want to bury their loved ones. I know there's a lot of spiritual people out there or religious aspects where having a body be at rest after death is so important. So all of those I get. But what's weirder is that, um, you know, he was murdered. They need an autopsy. Oh, which side note did you know whole body organ donation is not really federally regulated it's a bunch of brokers that go out to hospitals they look for vulnerable people they pretty much sell you they're really aggressive for you to sign away the rights and then they sell those cadavers they sell those bodies to medical facilities like they sell them to universities they're like corpse dealers yeah they're literally corpse dealers there's not much regulation on who can and cannot be a corpse dealer what so they will go into hospitals harassing people i wonder how much they sell like a body for i know it's so weird like the fact that like you would imagine these things are regulated you would imagine that like the hospital is doing it in a very respectful way like you would never imagine a corpse dealer showing up at your most vulnerable moments in grief just the inside story and these things behind like medical hospital.

51:07Just so, so uneasy. So uneasy. Like the more that you read up on hospitals, the more it really is just a cash cow. Like that's all it is. And I'm not saying about the people. I'm talking about the people running the hospital, not the healthcare workers. But the operation of it is so scary. So Jin's family, once they find out the truth, they did not want to donate Jin's whole body. They would also not donate his organs either because you need to have the organs intact for an autopsy. And this made the donation people very, very angry. Which again, goes to the fact that it's not federally regulated.

51:42It's not people that have the best interest of families and people. Because you know what I mean? If you were looking for cadavers for medical reasons, you would say, I totally get why you're doing it. Why are they here? These dealers, why are they here? I guess they just assumed. I think they like scout hospitals, I'm assuming. And I think they assumed because they're not good at English and they're not residents here. and to bring Jin's body back to Korea. Okay, so this has nothing to do with the other party? No, I don't think so. Oh, okay. That's because that's what I was thinking. Like, are they trying to get rid of something?

52:13Yeah, it's so weird though. It is weird, maybe, because it gets fishy, okay? So again, I'm not saying that we should be against whole body donations. I'm just saying like the way that it works is kind of shady and there's going to be bad people in this business. And definitely, you need to read all the terms and conditions for something like this. And they're just preying upon the Lee family because maybe it's like they don't speak English. They don't want to bring their baby back to Korea, which is like, what an assumption to make. So they're getting mad at the Lee family, the donation people yelling about how they already wrote up the contract and saying things like, you can't back out now.

52:44You promised. We printed the paper and everything. Jin's family said it was so bad that they had to lock themselves in the hospital room. Even nurses were shocked and surprised at how aggressive they were. And if I'm not being mistaken, it seemed like they were thinking, truly, oh, these foreigners, it's going to be easy. Eventually, the donation vultures they backed off And Jin's body was sent in for an autopsy Now, his cause of death was determined to be a result of brain hemorrhaging Caused by blunt force trauma to the head So immediately, LAPD starts treating Jin's death as a homicide Now, there were some weird things that got lost in translation Jin's mom had heard a white football player on the phone Remember?

53:22How a white football player was involved But nobody ever said it Even the family member that was on the phone with her was like I never said a white football player. So there was no white football player involved. Is there even a football player? It's like a soccer player. Yeah, so it gets really weird. Now, the truth slowly starts coming out, which was that Jin had gotten into a fight with another Korean student. And let's just call him Alex for the purpose of this video. His identity is withheld. Alex and Jin were friends, but they weren't close, allegedly. Like, they had the same classes. They hung out here and there, but they were never the ones to be, like, attached at the hip.

53:56There was no particular tension. There was really nothing going on between them. They were just regular friends. You know what I mean? Now, even for Jin's birthday party, he had invited Alex. And apparently, Alex was very Americanized. And Jin had grown up in Korea his whole life, right? So it's kind of a different culture. Now, apparently, at the birthday party, things started getting weird because witnesses saw Alex walk up to Jin's uncle and kind of slap his shoulder and say, hey. Like, hey. Like, put his hand on his shoulder and go, hey. disrespect yeah which in america would be completely normal in korean culture it's incredibly disrespectful especially because this was in the uncle's house like you're coming to somebody's house and you're not abiding by their customs and traditions so the uncle is like why who do you think you are like you're in my house i don't care if you're still in america you still need to show respect and manners the party continued as normal but it said that later Jin wanted to talk to Alex about it.

54:55He felt some type of way about it. You know the way that Alex treated his uncle it seemed like Alex fine you grew up in the States but come on you know that's disrespectful. Like you should have known. You're around enough Koreans to know. So a lot of people believe that this small tension started boiling and boiling and started to build. Jin allegedly told Alex on top of that you need to treat me with respect because I'm 19 and you're 17. So friends who saw these interactions said Jin would always say it in a totally joking way But it's unclear if Alex was triggered by it. I mean, this is a whole point of contention between them.

55:29It's a huge thing between a lot of Korean exchange students and Korean Americans. Like I've experienced this because I guess I'm more considered like culturally a Korean American. And there would be times in high school, in my very white high school, where like a few Korean exchange students would be there. And they'd be like, you need to call me on me. And I'd be like, why? But you're not my on me. Like I got an on me and she's at home because she's my blood sister. You know what I mean? Who are you? So it was like a point of contention, right? But again, none of it would have turned out the way that it did.

55:58So that particular day, friends said that Jin and Alex were outside and they seemed to be bickering. But nobody intervened because it wasn't fighting. It wasn't yelling. It was just kind of like, you know, where you're both like taking jabs at each other. Surely they could handle it. These are adults. So they're just doing their own thing. Nobody pays them any attention. So we don't know what happened. But Alex said Jin threw the first punch, punched him. Again, there is no way to prove or disprove this. There are no other witnesses who came forward. So it's just Alex's word. Now, what we do know is that Alex was a soccer player.

56:32And he had his soccer cleats on, his shoes, the one with the spikes. And he confessed that he kicked Jin with those shoes twice in the face. In the face? That's what I'm saying. How do you kick someone in the face? People say that's like some weird... Like karate? Yeah. What are you saying? It's not like the movies where you're that fast. I imagine that he wasn't that fast. I imagine that Jin had time to move because he wasn't drunk. There was nothing to block his reflexes. You kick someone in the face when they're on the ground. Exactly. But he said Jin threw the first punch. He didn't say he shoved or anything.

57:05He just kicked him in the face two times with his soccer cleats. And he said the whole altercation lasted 30 seconds before their gym teacher ran out and broke up the fight. Now, Jin collapsed on the way back into the school and he never got back up. So the state decided to press charges against Alex and Jin's family starts looking for attorneys. Now, this is really wild. The family had no idea where to find a good attorney. They also, you know, he's not the most famous actor in Korea. And especially in 2016, he really wasn't that well known. Like he had his core group of supporters, but he was not like the main character of Squid Game.

57:41He was not on all these K-dramas. They couldn't afford a lawyer, but it was high profile enough that they get a Korean-American lawyer calling named Larry. Let's call him Larry. And Larry said that he was an influential lawyer in the area with over 40 years of experience working with the LA legal system and he was also well-connected to high-powered politicians and prosecutors. So he knew what he was doing. Larry even flew to Korea to meet with Jin's family and introduce himself. And he looked exactly how they imagined. He said the process was going to be he would represent them in court, they would file a wrongful death suit against Alex and against the school and hopefully get some money out of it.

58:17No, Jim's family winced at that because they didn't want the money. They just wanted justice. I mean, yeah, money would have been helpful, though, because, again, they're not doing that well. They're not rolling in money. And they're facing a bunch of medical fees and all the flight costs, the funeral expenses. Yeah, money would have helped. And thankfully, Larry said that he would not ask for money up front. He would only take money if they won the lawsuit. So a few months passed by. Nothing big happens. And the family is confused. Like, hello, isn't this supposed to be where we're making progress?

58:46They reach out. Larry doesn't pick up. They get in contact with someone from the police. And the police are like, oh, we thought you had an attorney. They didn't let you know. We dropped the charges against Alex. What? So nobody bothered to even alert the family. Larry just decided, eh, no money. Not my job. Not worth it anymore. What makes the whole situation more suspicious? Because what kind of lawyer does that? But it's after the charges were dropped, Alex moved to Korea. Okay. Now, I don't know if his parents were there or he wanted to get a clean break, but it just feels a little bit convenient.

59:22Nobody moves to Korea, especially if you're a Korean American. Your family has spent so much time and money immigrating to the U.S. Unless you finish college or you're going to college in Korea or you've secured a job in Korea, it's not the most standard thing to move back to Korea. Out of nowhere? Out of nowhere. Okay. So it feels a bit convenient, right? So the police also decided the whole thing was an unfortunate incident. They didn't even charge Alex with involuntary manslaughter, which is technically what you would charge him with because it wasn't premeditated murder. It was manslaughter.

59:52And to add to that, Jin's family was like, OK, well, if you close the case, then we want the records because we're going to find a new attorney. And the police said that the records were destroyed, which is weird because closing a case. OK, it's weird, but it's not alarming. It's been done before. But destroying files, that's bizarre. One of the few surviving records reported that Jin had a 0.10 alcohol in his blood. during the fight, meaning that he was considered legally drunk. This is weird because the hospital showed his level was 0.010. So again, that's a huge difference between one is drunk and the other one is sober.

1:00:28So either the police are being shady or they're that incompetent. Honestly, I think they're that incompetent. But the whole case just reeks of suspicion. But how do you drop a case like that, though? Yeah. So they were just saying, we looked at the facts and it was an unfortunate incident. We're not going to pursue it because no crime happened. Who's making the call on this? Jeez. That's what I'm saying. So three years later, the family wanted to reopen the case in Korea. They had Jin's body exhumed for a second autopsy. His body would have been decomposed quite a bit by this point. So it was going to be a lot harder.

1:01:01But they concluded that the cause of death was a heavy blow to the upper stomach with something like soccer shoes hitting his stomach. That would have caused a heart attack. That would lead to the cerebral hemorrhaging in his brain. So Jin did have hemorrhaging to his brain, but not because of a blow to the head, but rather to the upper stomach. So does that mean that Alex kicked him more times than he admitted? Or did he kick him in the stomach instead of the head? Which is why would you lie about that? Because I feel like the stomach sounds nicer than the head. To be like, oh, I kicked them in the stomach, sounds nicer than I kicked them in the face.

1:01:34It was just so strange. So Lee Seung-hee teared up and he cried. And he said, because he just felt so powerless about the whole situation he said i feel sorry for my son that his dad is so powerless and i feel so sorry that even after death he can't rest in peace because they had to exhume his body in korea the family sued alex for wrongful death the judge ruled in favor of alex saying there was not enough evidence for a conviction because like i said they couldn't even get police reports because they were destroyed. They had like a few things, but it was nothing. The family appealed the case in 2019, 10 years after Jin's death, and they won the appeal, which everybody knows how rare that is to win an appeal, especially in South Korea, but they did.

1:02:25And Alex was sentenced to three years in prison. And Jin's parents think about Jin every single day. Jin's dad said, I really want to see him again. Sometimes I still hear his voice in my head telling me dad let's go have a drink together and as an actor you need to know this and dad you need to do this as an actor he always gave his dad all these tips and he always lectured his dad Lee Seunghee was interviewed and he was asked what would you do if Squid Game was real and you won the money and he said that he would build an acting school so that actors like himself the ones with no education no connections in the industry would have a chance and that is the really really shady murder of Jin.

1:03:08Not to like have conspiracy, but why does it just sound so shady? So there is a conspiracy that Alex's family was well off. Yeah. Compared to Jin's family. And now I don't think Alex's family was well off to the point where people are like, oh my God, they're so wealthy. This is like eat the rich situation. But I think it's also the victim was a foreigner who maybe didn't have as many roots and connections in LA. And the LAPD are known for having some shady officers for sure that will take bribes. Even the dealers at the... Yeah. If somebody was killed or murdered, obviously... They're going to want an autopsy.

1:03:49Exactly. At what scenario was somebody wants to give away the body? And why were they already waiting at the... Exactly. And why were they already saying, oh, we heard you're donating your body when they didn't talk to anybody? yeah so that just brings me to think somebody probably called some people bring them to the hospital yeah and then the police just disregarding it destroying the evidence or records i don't know just i feel like i mean obviously alex did something but i also feel like he kicked him more times than he said and probably in various locations is how i feel and that's why he's changing his story and maybe his family is more well connected or more well off and wanted to create this whole situation.

1:04:34I know it's a big conspiracy, but it just doesn't make sense. Otherwise, we're just looking at too many coincidences, like the body donator dealers, and then you have the LAPD just being so stupidly incompetent. Like that doesn't make sense either. And the lawyer is just what? Yeah, the lawyer is confusing, like wasting their time when they could have gotten a real lawyer who could fight this. And the thing about the blood alcohol level, it's such a, I know it seems like a typo, But when it comes to blood alcohol level, you can't have typos because you're not dealing with a number that's like 100 is drunk and one is not.

1:05:08Right? You're dealing with like points. Everything is a point. Yeah. So the fact that they just like took away the zero after the point, it's, it's, I feel like it's so weird. What are your thoughts on this case? I need to know in the comments.
