The documentary about the shocking “28 needles” case of Kim Sung Jae’s death is about the air
The tragic death of Kim Sung Jae will be brought to light, once again.
According to a source from OSEN, a documentary about the mysterious death of Kim Sung Jae will soon be broadcast. The producer for the documentary is Bae Jung Hoon, who is well-known for “Unanswered Questions” and “While You Are Tempted” of SBS.
Will the cold case of Kim Sung Jae’s death be solved?
Before the series was announced airing, SBS had previously attempted to broadcast an episode for “Unanswered Questions” in August 2019 detailing the murder of Kim Sung Jae. However, the episode was cancelled due to the provisional injunction from the singer’s ex to ban the broadcasting of the episode. SBS attempted to air the episode once more in December of the same year but got obstructed by the ex.
The producer Bae Jung Hoon mentioned the program on YouTube in 2020. At that time, he bemoaned: “We weren’t able to broadcast (the documentary) due to the provisional injunction. But we are still investigating and there are information and tips continuing to come in.” Bae Jung Hoon also stressed he would prepare for the broadcast one day.
When the news came out, the public remained skeptical whether the documentary could provide an answer to this long-standing mystery or would it continue to be left hanging.
Kim Sung Jae was a member of the male idol group Deux. He was found dead at the age of 23 at the Siss Grand Hotel in Seoul, on November 20th, 1995. He passed away one day after his first solo performance. On his body were a total of 28 needle marks. Blood test showed animal anesthesia in his bloodstream and was deemed to be the cause of death.The ex-girlfriend was the prime suspect and the reason for murder was due to relationship conflicts. However, she was acquitted due to a lack of evidence. The ex was revealed to be an infamous chaebol daughter in Korea. The public gathered 3000 signatures for a petition to reopen the case but to no avail. The cold case remains unanswered until now.
