Episode 311: Top K-Pop Stars Opened a Night Club to Drug & Sell Women to Overseas Investors
An IT specialist working at a data forensics company came across something odd. He was employed by the police to recover any missing files from a phone. He was good at his job - so he recovered it all.
But when he took a look at the recovered data - he saw 200k text messages, photos, and videos of women being drugged and sold to the highest bidder in sinister group chats.
He had just uncovered a complicated human trafficking ring.
The buyers? Overseas wealthy businessmen, politicians, and corrupt police officials.
The product? Female victims who had no idea they were going to be drugged, sold and SA’d.
The sellers? Famous K-Pop idols who had images of being the wholesome guy every girl in the nation wanted to date.
