Please make eye contact with Mo Young-kwang



's SBS 'I want to know' broadcast on the 16th shed light on the disappearance of Mo Young-kwang in 2003 with the subtitle 'The picnic that became a nightmare - Mystery of Mo Young-kwang's disappearance'.



On October 10, 2003, Mo Young-kwang went missing on a picnic five days after entering the daycare center.

Mo Young-gwang, who went on a picnic to a temple in Busan with the children of the daycare center and his older sister, disappeared that afternoon.

And his family is still desperately looking for Mo Young-kwang, 19 years later.



At that time, the police carried out an extensive search for the disappearance that occurred at a temple in the mountains.

Because the child was most likely lost in the mountains.

The search operation was carried out to the military base, but Yeonggwang was nowhere to be found.



And at that time, there were no witnesses to see Yeonggwang-gun in a village, not in the mountains.

As a result, his family suspected the kidnapping by someone.



And the suspicion was because the temple the children visited was famous as a place for people who wanted children.

At that time, there were many cases of kidnapping boys due to the male preference ideology, so the family could not erase these suspicions.

If this is true, who the hell took Yeonggwang-kun?



The production team pointed out some suspicions with experts.

Yeonggwang-kun disappeared without a trace, then I wondered if it was the crime of a thief.

At that time, there were suspicions about the assistant teacher at the daycare center.

It was because of this assistant teacher that the temple was chosen as the picnic spot.

And the family was also puzzled by his passive attitude toward the assistant teacher's search for Yeonggwang-gun.

However, the investigation revealed that no singularity was found in him.



If so, could the vehicle be hijacked by someone who came to the temple that day?

And the informant who finally saw Youngwang and Yeonggwang's older sister remembered that Yeonggwang disappeared while on the way to the bathroom.

In response, the expert analyzed that Yeonggwang, who was following the assistant teacher on the way to fetch water, got lost at some point, and if there was someone watching it, the vehicle hijacking would be possible both in circumstances and in time.



The production team speculated that it might be the work of someone among the believers who visited the temple.

However, through the investigation at the time, an investigation into the list of believers was conducted, but it was found that there was no singularity.



At the time of the first report, the family of Yeonggwang-gun was classified as a missing child by the police and expressed regret that the initial investigation was insufficient.

In fact, at the time, it was classified as a missing child and the golden time was missed because the investigation was ongoing.



And the expert analyzed that it is highly likely that a person familiar with the place may have committed the kidnapping, considering various circumstances.



Then, about a month after the disappearance, there was a call from the toll-free phone, and I heard a voice calling my father through the receiver.

The family, convinced that it was the voice of Yeonggwang, asked the police to investigate.



However, there were no clues to identify the person who made the call from a public phone booth in Haeundae.



The production team analyzed the voice of the phone call at the time to see if the voice heard over the phone was the real Yeongwang-gun's voice.

The result of the analysis was 77 points out of 100.

A score of 90 or higher was classified as the same person, and a score of 50 or lower was classified as a different person, but a score of 77 was very ambiguous.

The expert said that it was difficult to analyze the voice due to the noisy surroundings and high frequency.



The production team decided to draw what it would be like to see Mo Young-kwang, now 21 years old, figuring out the family's longing for Yeonggwang-gun to return even after 19 years have passed.

Based on Young Young's childhood photos and big data, style transfer technology was applied to reproduce the current Young Young's face.



In addition, I tried to embody Young-Gwang's childhood voice into his current voice.

And in Seoul and Busan, he revealed his grown-up appearance, asking for information from anyone who knew him, or those who thought he might be Mo Young-kwang.



Lastly, the broadcast told the story of Yeonggwang's mother, who said, "I think we can meet if we endure year after year. I hope that Yeonggwang will tell her to wait for her mother."

Also, along with famous people such as Jang Nara and Park Bo-gum, I asked him to make eye contact with Mo Young-kwang, who is 21 years old, to find out who might be around me.
