In the 9th episode of tvN’s ‘I Really Wanted to Say This’ (hereafter ‘This Must Be Said’, directed by Choi Sam-ho/Yang Jin-woo/Han Ji-won), which airs on the 9th, the story of the suspect Kim Rea, who became the first person in South Korea to have their mugshot publicly released, will be discussed as one of the most sensational incidents in South Korea in 2024. Notably, for the first time on the show, the victim's mother will appear, revealing not only the story of that day but also audio files recorded during the incident.
Before the incident occurred, the mother discovered bruises all over her daughter’s body and learned that they were caused by her then-boyfriend, Kim Rea. The more serious issue was that he not only was obsessed with her daughter but also threatened her under the pretext of their breakup. Despite the relationship not being healthy, the daughter was unable to break up with him, leading the mother and daughter to meet him, which resulted in a horrific incident.
In ‘This Must Be Said’, the victim's mother’s interview and the audio files capturing the situation at the time will be revealed for the first time. The mother, still recovering from injuries sustained that day, stepped forward for her daughter, expressing her anguish and guilt for not being able to protect her daughter, evoking deep sadness. Additionally, it is reported that all participants were left in shock by the audio files revealing the scene of the incident, which are being aired for the first time.
The host of ‘This Must Be Said’, Kim Chang-wan, rings the alarm with an angry remark, “What does love have to do with this?” expressing disbelief at the reality of the incident that occurred during their relationship. Actress Ok Ja-yeon, who participated as a story presenter, was unable to continue reading the heartbreaking story due to the tragic situation of the daughter, shedding tears and representing the viewers' feelings.
Later, Kim Rea, who stood in court, reportedly shocked everyone with an unexpected claim. Furthermore, interviews with his ex-girlfriend and acquaintances will follow. He exhibited obsession towards his ex-girlfriend as well, but justified his actions by saying, “I think I’m obsessed because I love you too much,” inciting public outrage.
The unbelievable and horrific incident, the mother who stepped forward to inform the world about it, and the untold story she wishes to convey to her daughter will all be revealed in the 9th episode of ‘This Must Be Said’ airing on the 9th at 10:10 PM.
