Medical student who killed girlfriend in Gangnam awaiting warrant review (Photo = Yonhap News) Choi (25), a medical student from a prestigious university in the Seoul area who killed his girlfriend on the roof of a building near Gangnam Station in Seoul, shot only the area of the neck where the carotid artery passes, A (25), the deceased victim. It was reported that he was stabbed approximately 20 times. Mr A’s autopsy revealed the cause of death was “excessive bleeding caused by a weapon”. Police are investigating the case, focusing on the possibility that it was a planned crime.
Lee Soo-jeong, professor of criminal psychology at Kyonggi University, said on the 9th: “Profilers need to be involved to identify personality traits. It almost seems like someone had a perfectionist personality.” Professor Lee said on CBS Radio’s ‘Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’ that day: “It has been confirmed that he repeated one year of grades after entering medical school. Although he may be very quiet, there is a high Chances are it’s a time bomb that explodes a lot of dissatisfaction inside you.” he revealed.
Professor Lee said: “It is known that he had already broken up with his deceased girlfriend. However, it seems that the other person, who could not accept the breakup well, had already warned him that he would do something, as if it were some sort ultimatum.” “I think I went there because I was attracted,” he said.
He continued: “It appears that he admitted to committing a premeditated crime during the investigation, so there appears to be a significant possibility that he may have a mental problem. He continued: “In general, if you want to commit premeditated murder, you choose a location where others do not notice, but at 5pm in Gangnam, where there are many people: “Since this is an accident that happened, is there any difference in whether it is homogeneous with a typical planned murder, e.g. a murder that occurs while escape time and escape are ensured by dreaming of a perfect crime. He said: “He was found jumping and the police were sent, and as he was being rescued, he said: ‘I have a bag, so I have to get it from the roof.'” He added: “It won’t be clear during the trial whether that part is appropriate as a statement from a person he planned to kill.” “It appears that this will be taken into consideration,” he said.
Professor Lee said: “This is a part that makes us assume that this person has some mental vulnerability, such as a personality problem, etc. However, since he purchased a gun in advance, from a legal point of view, this can be seen as close to premeditated murder.” “If I hadn’t told them I forgot, the situation could have been very delayed.”
He continued: “It is possible that there is a lot of internal dissatisfaction after repeating a year for a year” and “It is possible that he continued to threaten suicide during the process of contacting the victim, so that he could not mislead the victim” . and make it difficult for them to break up. “It seems very likely that he was controlled in this way,” she surmised. He said: “What you have to keep in mind is that threatening to kill someone is dangerous, but threatening to kill someone by preventing them from leaving is also a very dangerous situation. You can also think of it as a kind of extension of stalking. They had already said that they would had to break up, but in the end they continued.” “Isn’t that harassment?” by reporting to the police, the victims probably would have reported it,” he said. “Now, in the case of illegal photographers, all the victims report it first: ‘It’s helpful because if you report it to the police, they’ll delete the video file,’ he said. “However, in cases such as stalking or separation homicide, people often do not report it because their personal safety is not protected even if reported to the police. “There are so many loopholes that victims cannot be protected. and this must also be corrected by reviewing the law,” she underlined.
As to why Mr. Choi, who had scored a perfect score on the college entrance exam, committed a crime, Professor Lee said: “Self-deprecation or self-dissatisfaction is mainly achieved through comparisons relative, not through absolute comparisons,” and “From my perspective, there was a very intense case in medical school.” He said: “In the midst of the competition, I realized that I was inferior to my friends due to some sort of elimination, or ‘payment,’ and this may have been the trigger that set off some personality issues. According to Mr. Choi’s public defender, Mr. Choi admitted his charges during substantive warrant review the previous day and also acknowledged that there had been planning, not an accidental crime. However, he added that the planning period of the crime was not long.
It is known that Mr. Choi, who was accepted into a prestigious medical school with an excellent score of “perfect score on the Scholastic Ability Test,” repeated a grade in 2020 due to adjustment difficulties. The court detained him, saying he was “afraid of flying”.
