The miserable life of a husband who is manipulated by his wife

On June 30, 2019, a group of tourists went to a stream in Gapyeong district to play. In the evening, when they were about to leave for home, they discovered that 39-year-old Yoon Sang-yub was missing. They looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.

Yoon’s wife Lee Eun-hae was in the group. The other people in the group were all her friends. Not long after, the police found Yoon’s body, thinking that this was a sudden accident, no one was responsible for this.

A few months after the accident, Lee suddenly appeared publicly on a television program dedicated to reflecting social injustices. She condemned the insurance company for not paying her insurance money, making her life very difficult.

After receiving the feedback, the reporter of the program went to verify and made an unexpected discovery. The reason the insurance company wouldn’t pay was simple – there was something wrong with her case. Lee used to buy her husband many life insurance packages with a total payment value of up to 800 million won.

If not timely payment on time, by 24h on June 30, these packages will expire. Just four hours before the insurance expired, her husband, Mr. Yoon, suddenly drowned, the insurance money will naturally go to Lee.

Although in the TV show, Lee said his life was very difficult, but the program reporter discovered the opposite truth. She still often gathers to play, party with many friends of the opposite sex, and even travel abroad. During her husband’s funeral, many people saw Lee still playing on the phone as if nothing happened.

Visiting the victim’s sister, the reporter was surprised to learn that Mr. Yoon could not swim. In a video recorded by a visitor, that afternoon Lee also incited her husband to sit on the float and a man named Cho Hyeon-soo pushed the float out, intentionally shaking the buoy very hard. Lee don’t laugh at the edge.

In the video, Yoon can be heard in horror begging Cho not to do so, while Lee encourages Cho to shake harder.

A companion in the group said that around 8 pm, they were ashore to prepare to go home, but Lee invited everyone to jump on a cliff into the water. By then it was already dark, very dangerous for people who couldn’t swim. Due to everyone’s encouragement, in the end, Mr. Yoon still jumped into the stream. The others jumped down one by one, not noticing that Yoon was gone.

From information provided to reporters and insurance companies, the police reopened the case. When the accident happened, Lee was closest to her husband, but she said she didn’t hear a cry for help, while another person much farther away heard what appeared to be Yoon’s cry.

Investigating the composition of the tour group that day, the police also made an unexpected discovery. There were a total of seven people in the group, including the victim’s husband and wife, a man surnamed Lee and his girlfriend, a man surnamed Kim and his girlfriend, and Cho, traveling alone. In which the man surnamed Lee had spent many nights with Lee, and Cho was a secret lover.

Investigation into the private life of the victim’s couple showed that they were married 3 years before. As a manager at a fairly well-known company, Yoon earns about 64 million won a year. However, the life after marriage of the two is very strange, not even Ms. Lee’s family and friends know that she is married.

Yoon bought an apartment, but Lee asked him to rent a motel room near the company to live alone, and the apartment for me to entertain friends. In two years, Lee mined at least 200 million won, both spending and buying high-level insurance for her husband. And Yoon’s life is miserable.

Not only was he kicked out of the house, but he had to ask his wife for every penny he spent, whether it was to change his glasses, buy sneakers, or even buy a pack of noodles or a bottle of water. Colleagues said that Yoon sometimes asked for a loan, but borrowed very little. When asked, he stammered saying he didn’t have money to buy food.

The police recovered the messages between the couple, and found Yoon texted Lee with something like: “Wife, there are only 30,000 in the card, the installment payment for the car has been deducted, I’m sorry”, or “Can you please give me 10,000? I want to buy water and instant noodles, I’m really hungry.” Even Lee asked her husband to transfer all the money to Cho, his mistress, Yoon also obediently followed, even had to take a screenshot of the zero account balance and send it to his wife.

Yoon is extremely stuck, he has tried borrowing from banks, loan sharks, even contacting illegal kidney buyers to find a way to earn money to meet his essential needs, but without success.

Meanwhile, Lee is a master liar. In a charity program many years ago, Lee Eun-hae’s parents were both disabled, a family of three living in a house less than 20 square meters. Lee was 13 years old at that time, smiling to the camera, saying that when he grows up, he must be a singer filial piety to his parents, and at the same time will be grateful to those who have helped his family.

The benefactors supported the Lee family with a large amount of money. But only two years later, she dropped out of school, became a prostitute of the rich, in a few years was investigated by the police 9 times, went to juvenile court five times, at the age of 19 she became pregnant. In 2010, Lee married a man surnamed Kim, then Kim died in a traffic accident, Lee received a large compensation.

In 2014, she was in a relationship with a person surnamed Lee. Because her lover drowned while diving, she received insurance compensation. This isn’t even the first time Lee has beaten Mr. Yoon. In February 2019, she put puffer fish blood in her husband’s food, but then Yoon only had a stomachache.

Three months later, Yoon fell into an aquarium, fortunately his friends were rescued, before that Lee was still standing next to her husband. It wasn’t until the insurance policy was valid for only four hours that she successfully executed the plot.

In December 2021, the prosecutor’s office summoned Lee Eun-hae and Cho Hyeon-soo to investigate, when the second call was made, the two were hiding. By mid-April 2022, the police had clearly determined the scope of the two’s activities, and were about to come when they suddenly surrendered.

The case is still under investigation.
