After committing the first incident, Kang Yun-seong, who was under the supervision of the investigative agency, broke the electronic anklet and fled. The police searched for his house, but the victim's body could not be found because the house could not be searched. After that, the police focused on finding Yoon-seong Kang, who escaped with a rental car, and found his car near Seoul Station on the second day of the run. The police arrived while he was away, and Kang Yoon-seong, who came back, saw the police and hurriedly ran away. At that time, the police did not notice even though Kang Yun-seong was right next to him, and the day after the police missed Kang Yun-seong, Kang Yoon-seong committed another murder. Five hours after the incident, Kang Yun-seong came to the police station on his own feet and surrendered himself.
The women killed by Kang Yun-seong were all helpers he met at karaoke. When he was sent to the prosecution, he revealed that the motive for the crime was money. He said, "I didn't kill him because he refused to have sex. The motive for the crime was money." Five days before the crime, he sent a text message to his acquaintances saying it would be better to quit the electronic bracelet and go back to prison because there was no money. And he often asked his acquaintances to borrow money.
However, during the interview, it was revealed that he did not appear to have any financial problems. Far from having financial problems, he seemed relaxed. Helpers and karaoke owners who spent time with him remembered him as a gentlemanly guest with a lot of money.
After being released from prison, Kang Yun-seong lived in a gosiwon and moved to a sub-rental house that allows low-income people to live for a long time. And the owner of the building where he lived said that he had no idea that Kang Yun-seong was a criminal. Also, LH, who introduced him, did not know about it.

Kang Yun-seong also had another source of income. An acquaintance testified that he made money through door-to-door sales of cosmetics. However, Kang Yun-seong often asked his acquaintances to borrow money by sending pictures of himself, and the money was wasted on entertainment expenses.
During the interview, the production team met Kang Yoon-sung and Lee Jung-hee, who he had known for over 20 years. He disclosed the transcript of the call, saying that he had received a phone call from Kang Yoon-seong after the first murder. Kang Yoon-seong lamented his situation, saying that he caused a very big accident because he did not pay.
Kang Yoon-seong, who usually asked Lee to borrow money. And Lee speculated that Kang Yun-seong was conspiring with his accomplices to commit fraud using his name after being released from prison, and that he committed the crime in connection with the incident.

In response, Kang Yoon-seong asked his acquaintances to save money a few days before the crime, and in the end, Kang Yun-seong, who could not get the money, bought a cutter and a knife, and then lured the first victim to his house to commit the crime.
He demanded money from the victim, but when the victim refused, he murdered him and stole his credit card. Then he broke the electronic bracelet with a cutter and fled, committing a second murder in the same way.
In response, profiler Kwon Il-yong said, "He has the notion that a person's life can be used as a tool in order to achieve the desired purpose. Therefore, when committing the second murder, the shock of the first murder does not intervene at all and the crime continues immediately. You can see it," he analyzed his behavior.
Professor Lee Su-jeong said, "I robbed and raped women by threatening them with a weapon and extorted money to make a living. He is a typical prisoner who was fed and put to bed by the state for free."
Those who lived with Kang Yun-seong in prison said that he was a notorious inmate. It is said that Kang Yun-seong acted to protest the little things one by one to the prison guards and to write a letter to the Minister of Justice to accuse him of what he felt was absurd.

And after being released from prison, Kang Yoon-seong harassed public officials in order to become a basic beneficiary and to get the house he wanted, and talked about it as if he was proud of it. Experts said, "It is a narcissistic personality disorder. And he is acting antisocially. It is possible that he has a taste of the power and status he has gained through such behavior and that these things reinforce his behavior and thought patterns."
Kang Yun-seong, who tormented prison guards and civil servants. But he had another face to the psychologist. He seemed to be remorseful for his sins, and he also talked in detail about his past. He also said that he adopted his writing from a production that he liked, and that he received living expenses from the company while in prison.
The production team confirmed that his statement was true. And it turned out that what he said was true. The writer who helped Yoon-seong Kang said that he received a letter from Kang Yoon-seong when he was going to write a work that raises awareness about crime, and that is how they formed a relationship. After being released from prison in 2005, he helped Kang Yoon-seong, who came to visit the artist, and gave him a monthly salary of 2 million won. But he stopped writing within a few months. According to him, the reason was that he was bullied by the writers. However, the author's argument was different. The writer said that Kang Yun-seong borrowed 5 million won from the head of the studio and spent tens of millions of won for entertainment in his name. Also, Kang Yoon-seong was later imprisoned for another crime, and he told the writer, "My life has become like this because of you."He said that he sent me a letter if I was swearing.
Afterwards, Kang Yun-seong approached another artist. However, all the stories he sent to the writer were false. Lee, an acquaintance of Kang Yoon-seong, said, "If you use the formula only according to the formula, you will unconditionally win the contest for proofreading." But the author, unaware of this, helped publish his story into a book. An expert said, "It's just a necessary act for the person he wants to show or run away from prison." He also analyzed that the purpose of the text message that he wanted to break the electronic anklets sent to his acquaintances and go back to prison was solely for money.
Profiler Kang Il-yong said that Kang Yun-seong showed a different tendency from the existing antisocial personality disorder criminals. He said, "Unlike other criminals who target unspecified targets, this person committed a planned murder by targeting someone he knew well enough. So, he is a criminal who cannot really predict how the murder will proceed." analyzed that
Kang Yoon-seong, who showed a violent appearance by kicking a microphone in front of reporters, calmly revealed his motives when he was sent to the prosecution. Professor Park Ji-sun said, "If you are a 14-year-old with a criminal record, you have to have considerable knowledge about the investigation, trial process, and sentencing process. The behavior you showed when you were sent to the prosecution seems to have calculated what you would show during the trial process," said Professor Park Ji-sun. "Kang Yun-seong seems to have some hope about the possibility of receiving life imprisonment," he said.
Kang Yoon-seong, who asked for the death penalty, but showed a disobedient appearance by arguing for mental illness during the prosecution's summons. The crew found his true intentions in his conversation recordings. He appeared to be trying to claim his mental and physical weakness after turning himself in when a planned fraudulent crime was discovered. In this crime, it was speculated that he deliberately committed suicide and sought to commute his sentence for psychiatric problems.
And the production team also analyzed why his crime could not be prevented in advance. The investigative agency only paid attention to Kang Yun-seong's actions, but did not give much significance to the existence of the victim who was with him. Even after the first murder had already occurred, the police focused on finding Kang Yoon-seong, which eventually led to the second murder.
Professor Kwon Il-yong said, "Even if I properly checked the situation in which I went into the house with the victims and came out alone, it is regrettable that there was an opportunity to block it before another sacrifice occurred." The police explained, "I saw the CCTV at the time. At that time, the situation was not urgent, and the main purpose was to arrest Kang Yoon-seong, so we focused on arresting him."
An expert said that when he violated the restrictions on going out in June, a danger signal was already detected.
However, the Ministry of Justice did not pay much attention to this, and did not properly share Kang Yun-seong's criminal record with the police.
If proper coordination was made and the CCTV footage of Kang Yun-seong and the first victim could be checked, it would have been possible to obtain an emergency access ticket and search the house.
If the first murder had been discovered so quickly, the second murder could have been prevented.
In Seoul alone this year, 18 cases of recidivism occurred by wearers of electronic anklets, of which half were committed at home.
In addition, as of July 2021, about 17 persons subject to electronic supervision are managed by each dedicated probation officer.
Electronic anklets, which used to be worn on paroles who have committed violent crimes, are now being worn on paroles regardless of the type of crime from this year due to the revision of the law.
As a result, the number of people who need to manage and supervise has increased, but the number of people who need to manage has not kept pace.
An expert said, "Electronic supervision is not a panacea. I think it should be reconsidered based on the principle of selection and concentration," and said that the current law needs to be improved.
