But in actual Japanese stories, Miyano met Junko at the day of the kidnapping. The rejection didn't took place. They already did that to other girls they kidnapped before Junko.
@@saudade1063 Though I agree with @penultimania4295 It's unfortunately part of human nature that some people are just messed up. Think about the wars in this world, the conflicts in less developed countries and radical ideologies (Fascism in todays India, terrorists in many african countries, ...). Without laws and social norms preventing such horrific violence, there's always a percentage of people who commit such acts. If there are decent social norms and laws, those messed up people might just beat their wife in private (which is obviously horrible in itself), but those laws and norms normally prevent them from actually murdering someone or worse. If the same kind of person lives in a society where violence against certain minorities is accepted, or even respected (fascist or extremist religious ideologies heavily support this part of human nature) those same people would commit the most vile acts without raising an eyebrow. Obviously the monsters in this video did those acts in countries that should be safe. This just shows how safe they felt due to their connections to the mafia. Generally, there is a case to be made that violence is a part of human nature. Like all personality traits the tendency to violence varies a lot from person to person and some people are just naturally evil.
Junko winning that majong game seems almost poetic in the bleakest sense, they had done their damnest to take everything away from her, her dignity, her humanity, her life, but she still won. At her most broken, she is still so, so much more than they could ever be.
Yeah, that's making me tear up. I'm glad she got to have that. I'm horrified, and near-sick at what they did to her... And I'm honestly in awe of her for being able to do that.
@@theonlyhikarueven if its not, for all she went through, the girl deserves to have some sort of positive story for people to remember her by (that doesnt take away from the torture she endured). Even if its false, the majong game story is a way to show how strong she was in a less gruesome way, because being put through that much torture and surviving as long as she did takes a strong person. I also wish it were true, but even if its not, its at leastna good metaphor for how strong the poor girl was through this horrific torture.
This is such a puzzle, how is this even justifiable by any measures? So many people have had life sentences and even death sentences for lesser crimes... But crimes like this get only 7-8 years... This is just inhuman.
Hey you guys know about the miryang case in korea. It happened in 2004. Three female were gang raped by 44 middle schoolers in a span over one year. No one went to jail. The parents of the rpist blame the gurls. And college didn’t want to accept victims of rpe. But now it is a big thing in korea because a youtuber exposed the predators. Stephanie i hope you cover this case again please bring attention to it
I think it's bc intelligent abusere often like to take positions it work that gives power. Like law, medicine, police, politic... That's a fields where's the most psychopaths and abusers bc they feel they have real power. I'm not saying that every one of them is evil but it's real tendencies. And abusers with their twisted logic will protect other abusers. And we just allowed for that.
100% I thought the British justice system was diabolical with the amount of prison time, even murder. It’s a common joke with people married over many years of marriage to joke “I’d get longer for murder!” But it’s true. Even when they are given a ‘life sentence’ say 20 years (rare!) you know that they are only going to do half. It’s actually surprising when someone is given a life sentence of x amount of time and they have to serve the whole sentence. Unless they are under 16 their legal names are published/available. The Korean justice system seems very lax. America seems to go overboard with some sentences like drugs etc.
@@TigerwomanXsweden i get what you're trying to say. but what does that have to do with the video OR the comment? animals in a majority of zoos are well taken care of. we have laws against animal cruelty and a vast majority of people don't purchase goods that have been tested on animals. this comment had nothing to do with animals, only with horrible people doing horrible things. i understand activism but your activism is misplaced in this moment.
Junko endured over a month of torture that destroyed her in every possible way, and STILL managed to win that game of mahjong. I'm sobbing. Actually, like, tears running down my face. And Yuna, that poor child. They could've both gone so far in life. These are by far the worst cases I've ever heard. I'm sick to my stomach. I think I need to lay down and relax because I shouldn't be making myself sob like this over true crime. This is my reminder to you guys: Take care of your mental health and know when a case is too much and you should stop watching. I personally think I shouldn't have watched this far. Rest in peace, angels. You will be remembered.
This case is one of the worst out there. You have had that reaction because you are a normal human being with empathy unlike the perpetrators in this case. You are right to be aware it’s not always good for your mind to consume true crime content if it deeply disturbs you. I personally don’t want to watch cases involving children since having babies. It’s so distressing for me. Some disgusting people exist but I remind myself that most people are good, they do their best and the very bad people just stick out like sore thumb because it is so hard to comprehend. Majority of people have good hearts. Hopefully the evil in the world will become less and less as the world progresses.
@@MeHoyMinoy-cv3ps i am worried. I did not have that reaction and i have watched the entire segment. I only got shivers from time to time. I dont think i have any empathy. I do not want to end up doing such horrid things like those degenerates. How can i be more empathetic?
Thank you I’m 13 and I heard about junkos case when I was 12, it completely destroyed me. I was traumatized, haunted, and heartbroken for weeks on end by her case. I really should learn when to stop.
@@HayItsRhy Oh, you're way too young to be watching any true crime at all. I don't mean it in a condescending sense, but rather as a woman with a maternal instinct. Trust me, leave this kind of content for when you're supposed to be watching it (18+). It may not seem like it now because you're human, and thus, curiosity drives you, but your brain is still developing and getting exposed to such grim stuff so young could influence your ability to see the good in life, literally. Take care of your brain, you deserve to be happy.
@@JustEnjoyThisShiithey may of evaded justice here on earth, but rest assured God works overtime. And when it comes time to face the ultimate judge, I believe God will make them each experience the exact pain and torment they put her through. Because that’s the only real justice, understanding truly and completely how it felt for junko and yuna.
i did comment on that post of his wishing him only the worst. it angers me to no belief to know that people like him can still have platforms and be active in public places
I listened to the junko case for the first time about 5 years ago. It haunted me then, I couldn’t sleep or eat, I took a long break from true crime even. I was in disbelief that a person, A TEENAGER, could live through this kind of torture for so long and the depraved, horrific perpetrators are free. I waited a while to listen to this case in and honestly, I am just as disgusted and heartbroken as I was back then. Thank you for bringing light to this in a respectful way
I hate how cops literally couldve atleast saved her by checking the cameras but refused to do anything about it. Every person in law enforcement who allowed this to happen should be jailed or ATLEAST fired and im dead serious
@@elizabethbaron552 Wouldn't surprise me, these types of men are everywhere. Hence why men have no problem finding other men to partake in r*pe with. Women need to start waking up to the true nature that so many of them hide.
Honestly most of South Koreas legal/justice system should be put in jail. The only ones who probably arent corrupt are the front line guys (and girls) who unfortunately have no power/control over decisions and situations and have to just follow orders.
cops have legally no obligation to protect anyone, they are there to prevent you from annoying the rich and the politicians, look up the case of the guy that got stabbed in front of a cop and the cop at the end of it all said that to him or the uvalde case, just to name a few on the USA (the land of the law, the free and the "brave" mind you), so yeah its better to trust yourself to protect yourself most of the time
No. It's hardcore Japanese misogyny. Look up other Japanese cases that are out there, police doesn't do shit. And, the majority of Japanese women do not report their assault because they are shamed for it (even within the doors of the law).
some of you are missing the point. she isnt comparing the cases to dismiss yunas case but to show that despite evolving, despite changing times, evil wont change. some people are just rotten. some are just pure evil. a similar case happening 26 years later just proves that people are evil
I see where your coming from but I feel like she could of executed this better, junko’s story is well known, I’m not saying no one should talk about her cuz they should, she went through such a horrific thing but I feel like she could of gotten the point across differently without pushing yunas to the side, they were both innocent human beings, they deserve their own video and story 😞
@@yuyust7615 No YOU are missing the point. You DO NOT mix victims stories like this. It takes away from both of their importance. Especially when Yuna gets called "Korea's Junko", it's harmful continuing to perpetuate that narrative by continuing to compare both victims to each other. And telling their stories in confusing pieces all mashed up together instead of telling a coherent story, the way they deserve.
For me personally, having heard Junko's case more than once (unfortunately), I found myself trying to fast forward through her devastating story to try to put together Yuna's story. I would have much preferred to hear her story on its own; or at least separated in the same episode if she wanted to compare them.
@@raccoonchildit doesn't matter if an event 'perfectly' repeats. The same thing happening in someway, shape or form, regardless of the people involved is history repeating.
I've heard Junko's case be covered countless times and yet there was so much you said I had no idea happened, the case somehow just gets worse and worse. I have no idea how Junko or Yuna stayed alive for so long, it's actually haunting
the fact that both cases are 26 years apart yet so similar shows that society has not progressed in any way whatsoever, women are still seen as objects by some men. what angers me the most is that THE AUTHORITIES IN BOTH THE CASES DIDNT EVEN FREAKING TRY AND SK PROTECTS THE NAMES OF THE FUCKING ASSAULTERS?? HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE???
Police was chronically worthless and incompetent, particularly when it comes to individuals who aren't elite or associated with money (possibly with the exception of Barry and Honey Sherman). Of course, they won't do shit until it's too late, or they frame innocent people through their blatant lies.
Our species has gotten WAY Worse, and I blame the internet. When you can literally be exposed to and be witness to the most horrible and vile things that our species does to one another as well as to animals. It just numbs people to those types of things. And makes them seem norm and acceptable. They lose all the negative feelings one should have about them. And then you can find groups of like minded people’s to discuss, egg on, give tips, andeven celebrate with you, when you decide to do some nasty disturbing thing. It truly mind boggling. I bet the statistics of everything vile and criminal is beyond over the top nowadays. Just like the average 25-50 serial killers just within the USA, I guarantee it’s doubled at the very least. Our whole societal structure and people’s values and morals have been damaged beyond repair by the internet/social media. We have just failed at an epic level, as a species. There is no more humanity left in humans! I just listened to s story just as torturous as this but it was literally done to a 3 year old. Now to me these cases prove one thing, there is no ‘god/s’ out there. If there is, ‘They’ are one twisted and sick MFer to even allow this type of BS to go on, period. Nothing I would devote my faith and love into would allow such stuff! Ugh grr! As well as, ALL the brutality, hate, ignorance, and utter devastation that goes on. And most of it created by humans! Truly makes me sick!
PEOPLE this is NOT about Junko it’s about Yoon - the Junko case is being mentioned for comparison purposes. Please share your heartache for this young woman too, not just Junko. Yoon is barely being mentioned by anyone in comments.
I was just about to comment this as well. It's so sad, even the thumbnail used makes it feel it's about Junko. It's sad what happened to both of them but this time, it's supposed to be Yoons turn to be talked about and mourned...
Ik I'm scrolling through the comments and I'm barely seeing anything about Yuna who the case is about. The Junko Furuta case is only for comparison to see the similarities of the two cases. Obviously I'm not skimming over what happened to Junko by any means but I think Rotten mango did a video about her already. Also not sending hate to rotten mango I love her videos but it would have been so much better if she put a photo of Yuna in the thumbnail or Yuna and Junko side by side. Honestly it's crazy that history really did repeat itself only in a different place.

Absolutely. My heart breaks for Junko and Yoon, who were taken from the world too soon in the most brutal ways. To me it was the fact that people had 30 years to reflect on what happened to Junko but then moved on because they gave such short prison sentences. It boggles my mind, HOW could anyone possibly move on after hearing this? And why aren’t you making an example by giving these people harsher sentences? If we don’t learn from history, it’s gonna happen again.
I don't think it's okay to generalize coz there are so many women too who made some gruesome crime. Some women who act as a victim but not, the reason why those who are real victims are being snub more now coz false accusation.
The amount of female idols who have recieved threats for being feminists or reading feminist writings tells you all you need to know about how men perceive women in South Korea. It's seriously horrifying.
As a Japanese man, my heart breaks every time I see Junko Furuta san's name or the name of the incident online. As a member of Generation Z, I didn't experience the atmosphere and news coverage of the time in real time, but that incident is remembered as one of the worst in Japan's criminal history. As a man, I am truly sorry that such a heinous incident occurred in Japan. I believe that the fact that Junko san's name is mentioned every time a similar crime occurs around the world is a cross that has been placed upon us. I hope all women find peace. sorry for my bad english😔
Thanks for this comment, really. When I see cases like this, I lose hope and it becomes difficult for me not to generalize. It's very dark. I'm glad there are men like you.
Misogyny plays a huge rule in how both Junko and Yoona were targeted and attacked. The idea that they were not people but simply s*x object and entertainment. Both Japan and Korea have a massive issue with misogyny. You can even see it in the way law enforcement acted or the way the killers mothers defend their sons. Even the laws that protect the killers identities prioritize mens reputation above a girls life. That's why its so important to push for not only more progressive laws but also progressive social change.
@@teec.9805 ??? women are being abused, tortured, and murdered but you're worried about being "too progressive"? Men dont lose anything by treating women with dignity and respect.
@@teec.9805using the “it can get extreme” argument against feminism when we’re talking about girls who have been used to their core, destroyed both physically and mentally in the most EXTREME ways possible (clear feminicides) is SiCKENING. You’re more worried about laws punishing perpetrators the right way and protecting girls than girls dying this way and killers being free ???? Sickening
I'm a medical doctor- I can barely fathom the damage setting fireworks off inside your body would cause. Certainly setting them off inside someone's genitals would put the person at risk of having their uterus and colon rupture. Colon contents (feces) would leak into their abdominal cavity (the area that holds your stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, etc). If that injury didn't cause you to bleed to death, you would likely die of sepsis/infection within 2-3 days. (You may get lots of offers but I'd be happy to answer any medical questions you have when you're researching videos!) Thank you for reporting on these devastating stories. Sex trafficking is one of the most horrific crimes that exists, and it occurs in every country- though admittedly this level of sadism is very extreme. I am so sad for the victims...grateful that they could eventually escape it, even in death, because no one should have to experience something like this.
I feel that In Western culture, we have become so desensitized and Blaise when experiencing True crime stories. Crime media is so over saturated in the media, that I feel we have become mechanical and routine when stories of injustice and inhumanity are explicitly. What I feel is directly missing is the medical details, what exactly is occuring in the body what is this human being truly enduring, the hours, the minutes. The body broken and I feel when we can reconnect to that shock and horror we will also connect back to empathy, grief and have that duality of both absolute nihilistic misery that humans are capable of such sadism, but also that saving grace that these jackals were unable to break the victims spirit. That the community was outraged, that decent people still exist. I believe a far deeper look into what is occuring medically would actually help to humanize the victim, and allow the audience to understand the totalality of the event. I base alot of this opinion on my own personal reactions of learning about the medical scientist who studied crucifixion and conducted experiments that really outlined the horrible nature of that execution. Anyhow, I didn't mean to ramble, lol. I think I'll watch some 80s music videos to counter this ponderance on dark subject matter. 😮
I’m only a student mental health nurse but we do have to learn the same as general nurses in the UK. I appreciate your post and was actually thinking the same things believe it or not .its disgraceful and disgusting the way these vigrants behaved. I watch lots of these posts and cannot believe the depravity of some people.
3 weeks have passed and this case still deeply disturbs me. I remember talking about this episode with my roommate and we were both in silence and disbelief watching it. I don't understand it, I don't think I ever want to understand just how twisted people can become to act this way. What was in the air in the 80s in Japan that prompted those boys to act that way? Jumping on her head into the concrete.... I can't even... And to her Korean counterpart many years later. I feel so sorry for you. You were supposed to be living in much safer times yet.... At least you got, not the best, but better justice than your Japanese counterpart. I truly hope you two are in much healthier and happy places. I wish you see each other then and congratulate one another for being so strong. Thank you to Stephanie for telling their stories❤
That was such a beautifully written comment. Let us never the poor innocent victims so we can work to make sure nothing similar ever happens again. I hope there will never be case that;s compared to Junko or Yoon's ever again 🙏
Everyone, remember one thing well: if the police and/or bystanders had not been lazy and ignorant, then both of these girls would be alive and safe today, they could've stood there in the court, telling the world about the pain they endured. It wouldn't have been so easy for the court to set them free if the victim had been able to stand their and talk about their story. All we can now do is tell their story for them, and not be ignorant like the bystanders in both these cases. If you see a girl who looks uncomfortable or unwell in company of others, assume the worst and help them, even if you helping them is merely handing them a note.
Tragic how the journalists honored Junko Furuta more than the police and the legal system. The legal system protects those monsters, while the journalists warn Japan of the monster's identity as well as guaranteeing that the monsters cannot pretend to be human again (live normally/hidden identity). Too bad Yuna isn't honored in the same way...
@@Just_kurosama In my opinion, the law protected the identities of Junko Furuta killers so that her murder would not 'ruin their social lives' after prison, but the journalists did not allow them that luxury. And in my opinion, that is more honorable to Junko than her killers being seen as upstanding citizens and living a life without consequences
How could they stomach doing all that?? I can't believe there are people like that. It's so scary to think that there might be people we encounter everyday that can do the exact same thing to you. The possibility frightens me, I wish the police can even be trusted.
I found out about junko's case when i was 12-13 years old and it took me a WHILE to digest what had happened to her. Now after recalling the details ( i actually didn't know that she got wax poured on herself and that her tendons were cut ) i get goosebumps i feel so bad for her that i wanna cry. We women never get peace even after death. Breaks my heart.
@@bluenomadbruhwhat is your point? Both girls suffered intense torture and both girls shared pain. That fact you’d try and one up Junko’s case baffles me.
Yeah.. Its Junko is the case that stuck with me the most. I feel like every time I hear about the case again I hear something new and horrible that they did. It really feels like the was no end to the torture they put her through.
Some cases like these provoke urge to advocate for death sentencing, am sorry the thought of having tax used to feed, clothe and keep such vile things warm in prison?no
A couple weeks ago I mentioned Junko Furuta under a TikTok comment when they had a TikTok about that, or I think it was why women are afraid to say no to a date or something. Her name holds power. I say that baby girl’s name all the time, when anyone asks why women are a certain way I say her name and tell them to search her up. Usually the response is quiet, or tears, or apologizing to me for not understanding how dangerous it can be to be dragged off by strangers and r***d mercilessly even if you just exist and don’t even “poke the bear.”
@EmiL_from_NieR omg literally so many people bring her up when men argue the topic, I cant imagine what either Yoon or Junko were feeling in those days. It's so sad we have to bring up well known cases to get it through their heads
@@Em.Anneta to be fair, a lot of people aren’t as informed. I’ve told people about different cases before when they said some things and brought people to tears before. Not intentionally, I just… I’m a bit of a cynic. Not paranoid, just I know bad things can happen anytime. My mom is a licensed paramedic/medical examiner so I know death can come in an instant. One time a guy said girls who take rides from strangers are stupid and to not get in unless there is a woman. I brought up Jaycee Dugard (my personal hero I love her she’s such a queen 😍) and then I bring up Ian and Myra Henly and all the children they killed and a***d together. I only do this if someone tries to victim blame; since I cannot STAND that sh*t.
@@Em.Anneta yeah. I try to understand some people are uninformed, but some are just straight up not listening. I usually just will say I’m glad they don’t understand because that means they’ve had a damn blessed life and I hope they never HAVE to understand. I don’t want people to understand, I just want them to know it exists and to be kinder to people that have been hurt 😔
If Junko’s perpetrators had been punished in a way that set a permanent example to the world, this case wouldn’t have happened. They were given such ridiculous sentences and got away with one of the most heinous crimes known to man. If they had been punished properly, it would have discouraged these boys from repeating the same crime 26 years later.
I am so disgusted right now like wtf? only 7-8 years? death caused by assault? and now they're free? the fact that Junko was alive through all that was really scary, not only Junko but Yuna too. I hope that at least their souls would be at peace
I hate the people that run this world so much, they're just as bad as the people they claim they brought to justice whether they want to admit it or not
The fact both victims were failed by the justice system.. No matter how many people share their stories it wont change the fact two young girls went through hell
@@elizabethbaron552 That would piss me off if i went through that and someone told me that . They weren't important enough for God to help then just how important do you have to be for your prayers to get through to god?
@@michaeltreu4152 I understand what you are saying. Look what happened to Jesus himself. But remember they nailed him to that cross and he bled out and died and rose again. This is what Jesus promises us all, so long as we believe in him. He will never force us to be with him, because that isn’t love. I know in the situations those girls were in, they certainly would have prayed to God in desperation whether they believed before or not. Everybody does, when it comes down to life or death like that. Because inherently we know he is real. He loves those girls just as much as you and me- which is infinite.I know he was there with them in their last moments, and where they went after (Heaven) is the opposite of suffering. All I know is, I was a wretch and I shouldn’t have lived the 6 times I overdosed on fentanyl. The time I committed suicide ended up in a coma and came back. He brought me back. What are the odds? Many of the people I loved the most died, and they died young. Some of the most amazing hearted people. The only thing I can make sense of, is that maybe God wanted to be with them in Heaven, in the most present and loving way he could. Maybe they had important work to do in Heaven, and God needed them. It doesn’t seem like to us back on earth, that they were saved, but I believe they were. At the end of the day, neither you nor I, nor anyone can guarantee we won’t meet a violent end to our flesh. But the soul is more real than the flesh, and nobody can take that away from you. It belongs to God. It can be beaten down and crushed by evil forces, but the soul prevails after physical death, and it goes to a place much greater than anything in this world can offer.
One think that is very impressive and arguably disturbing about human organs is that they would shuffle back to their original place even when you throw them somewhat randomly in place. When surgeons open up the body they dont put the intestines back in place, they just tuck it in and they go back on their own so for her organs to be distorted to badly to not stay in their place is worse than you think it is.
Sadly, in both cases, EVERYONE failed these girls. With Junko - the officers who went to the kidnapper's house? They got fired after her body was found. With Yuna - everyone failed this girl.
@@asudesokmen1277 Don't blame them. Don't you remember how they forced her to call her parents and tell them that shes ok? They still looked for her though, it was the police who didn't take their job seriosuly.
Can we not call it the Korean Junko case? Her name was Yuna! It seems sad to me that her story is lost behind Junko’s. Both are horrific heart breaking stories. But this story is not about Junko. Say her name! 😢
Her story isn’t lost at all… she’s literally telling the story in this video. I didn’t know anything about Yuna before but now I do. What exactly are you complaining for?
It also broke my heart thinking about how the father of one of the girls (I forget which) took her to church and told everyone thinking it would protect her more, but it was the reason the evil fuckers went back after her. I can’t imagine the blame he must place upon himself. And the fact that both of these girls loved their families so much that they put the welfare of their families above themselves, and sacrificed themselves so their family wouldn’t get killed.
Thank you for shining light on this. As a SA victim, most are forgotten about, blamed for lying, etc. Glad people are believing and still remembering even after all this time. Once again, thank you.
I almost got teary-eyed when I saw this video pop up. I remember how much Junko Furuta case impacted me when I was 13 years old, now I'm 24 and working in a criminal justice system, and I still think about this case a lot and carry it in my heart. I will probably watch this video eventually, because Stephanie and her team always give across so much respect and empathy for the victim. I love to think that we all end up watching this video or reading comments to collectively support and mourn the beautiful life that we lost in such unspeakable circumstances. Will till the end of my days think about Junko. P.S. And the victim in the Korean case, Yoon, discussed in this video.
You can't even recall the name of the victim in this video. It's funny how you're so empathetic towards one victim but the victim that this video is dedicated to just brushed past your mind when she had to suffer through 26 days of tormenting hell before her life finally went out. Double standards is what I call that. Fyi, her name is Yuna
I don't understand South Korea. I lived there for a few years and it has always felt incredibly safe. But other times I feel like Korea and Japan have low crime rates but the crimes people do commit are literal nightmares.
How is it safe if you cannot even walk to restroom without expecting hidden camera or something? Rates are low because crimes against women and children treated as a joke
As a Korean who lived in both Korea and America, Korea is relatively safe in terms of being able to walk around at night and just walking to go from place to place. There's not much organ traffickers like China, no gun like America, no gangs like Mexico. But just like ANY countries, it all depends on the areas in the country you're in. Also its difficult to generalize a whole country's safety level based on some crimes cases because evil people exist everywhere. I would say its a relatively safe country but Id assume its because people have that sort of concept of 'Korea being a safe country' that when you hear about cases like this and stuff like burning sun and nth room, it comes across as even more extreme because it collides with your expectation.
Crimes stats are only low in those places cause they don't care about women and children's safety, they literally have separate trains for women cause it's so bad, on top of spy cam and overburdening ant of revenge porn
Dear Stephanie/Rotten Mango team. I was born in Slovakia raised by Hungarian parents. Also I have spent around 25 years living in London, UK. In the mean time I've been fortunate enough to have the chance to travel to many countries. You and your team are doing an amazing job. Your undestaning, acceptance and approach to various cultures is examplarary. I am back in Slovakia, living by the Ukraine border. Hungarian is my mother tounge. Should you need any help around this part of the world, I would be more than happy to assist. Kind regards, Tünde Lejková
When I first learned about Junko Furuta’s case, I questioned my faith in humanity. It’s so disgusting and scary how so many people knew about these cases, yet no one tried to help these poor girls. It goes to show how truly sick and despicable people could be.
i just wanna say, the story that Junko rejected them was mistranslated. the males who harmed her, just... picked her, she was a young woman who existed in society... may Junko forever rest in peace ❤
or for whatever any other reason or no reason although that gives it an even more pathetic reason but lightly in comparison as it's not the time for school style drama
Junko’s case is one that haunts me whenever I remember the details of it. And I’ve only looked at that case maybe once or twice. The fact that there is a Korean version of this is heartbreaking.
Hey you guys know about the miryang case in korea. It happened in 2004. Three female were gang raped by 44 middle schoolers in a span over one year. No one went to jail. The parents of the rpist blame the gurls. And college didn’t want to accept victims of rpe. But now it is a big thing in korea because a youtuber exposed the predators. Stephanie i hope you cover this case again please bring attention to it
Just a reminder that one of Junko’s tormentors, Hiroshi Miyano, picked on her and targeted her, tortured her, because she rejected his offer to date him. Remember that. Edit: I feel as though I should mention that Yoona is also a victim, and I don’t want to ignore her and her trauma as well. What they both went through is horrible, and their perpetrators should have been punished accordingly. The law and the people around them failed them. Edit #2: I feel like I should preface that this video is about BOTH of them. And how similar their cases are, from how they were lured in to how their perpetrators committed the atrocities, even down to how they got caught. I feel like we should look at both of these girls and not compare or say that one case was worse than the other. Both these girls are victims and it’s important we realize that this cycle will continue until we actually do something about the system hurting them.
That fact haunts me… it’s disgusting and scary the need of some men to possess women like objects. This case is literally an extreme example of misogyny.
I just wonder - what is with men/boys and their intolerance to rejection? And then they often talk about how 'modern women have ridiculous standards' 🙄More like we have standards now so that we can avoid azzholes like you.
@@g.i.520Get over it? Bro your literally just saying that this case doesnt matter. Just imagine getting sa'd. Unless if you actually know what its like to be sa'd. Shut up.
Impulse control issues, is buying an expensive pair of Jordans instead of paying your phone bill. Torturing a girl, means you HAD THE SADISTIC IMPULSE in the first place… 😠
Reading that title brings back all the rage and sadness from when I first heard about the original Junko Furuta, knowing there's another one drives me insane.
@@shashank8091 We all contribute in small ways and that has been proven through the many research papers on the psychology of crime documentary viewers. On the other hand, to act so brazenly in the comment section of such a heartbreaking, gut-wrenching video suggests a serious issue you should probably get checked.
Same happened to 16 year old Sylvia Likens. She was tortured and murdered by Gertrude Baniszewski, Gertrude’s children, and several neighborhood friends. Sylvia was tortured for 3 months and they even forced her little sister, Jenny, to participate in her abuse. May Junko’s, Yuna’s, and Sylvia’s souls rest in peace and may all their perpetrators suffer eternally
@@ucanthandletruth4456 the comment could have been referring to sylvia's other sister, an adult who lived in the area and had at least two known instances of having spoken to her sisters before sylvia's death.
@@SouthsideAimMuhher younger sister was scared to escalate the abuse, and she was very vulnerable. her older sister thought the girls were exaggerating their conditions under gertrude's care - i don't recall whether she ever spoke to either of the girls once sylvia's abuse became debilitating. the abuse of sylvia was QUICK to lead to the death of her.
"damned if you do, damned if you don't" is a quote I remembered when I heard what happened to Yuna. She accepted the date and Junko denied one. Men.. are terrifying.
Reminder to the comments that junko is not the only victim mentioned in this video!! We should give our respect and love to BOTH girls, Yuna and Junko. (My personal opinion that this thumbnail and title should be changed bc it can misleading and Yunko deserves her own spotlight instead of being overshadowed by a different case although I understand the purpose was to compare but still it could’ve have been handled better)
Its is spine chilling and so out of even imaginations, I really appreciate the courage and research it took to present such a case that is worse than a nightmare. You guys are doing the unthinkable, truly and surely helping many girls out there!
This case was so horrifying. It was gruesome. My heart goes for the girls . They suffered physically and psychologically . Can’t imagine the pain they went through. I don’t know who raised these psychopaths and how they were allowed on the streets . They have no right
People that say things like, " boys will be boys" to me it makes me remember the " bully" story from south Florida not exact similarities, but dysfunctional sick teenagers raising themselves😢
its haunting to hear that the two girls who received far lot worse torture injuries took some time to pass away, yet that man who got blackmailed and beaten to pulp died almost immediately after. poor girls had no one to help them, not even death took pity on them. and the perpetrators were not punished severely. no wonder a lot of unhinged people can get away
I covered my face in stress while listening to the depictions, but that only made them worse. I can't comprehend how humans could do such horrible things to someone, especially after they are so badly injured. Like, why? Why? How? It is. it's so sick. There's no other way to describe it.
It absolutely disgusting that *humans* like this are out there. I've heard of many true crime cases, but this one terrifies me the most. It's disgusting and inhumane of how Junko and Yuna were treated.
Goodness gracious. The Junko Furata case was the first true crime case that actually made me cry. Usually I can detach or feel anger, but this just made me feel utter hopelessness. I knew people are awful, but the fact that someone would willingly do something THIS horrendous and RECREATE IT really shattered some of the newfound hope I’d found in humanity. Sending so much healing to Junko, Yuna, and their loved ones. May your souls be at peace 😢
Same... I researched the Junko furata case after I saw a picture of those vile monsters that did all that too her and a short description on Tumblr, when I was 15. It was the first true crime case that made me cry and made me truly consider for my only mission in life to be, to train and hunt those monsters down, so that true justice can finally be served and the public is protected from people like them... I always remember all the victims that I have read about, but I think about Junko really often... I'm a spiritual person, I often pray to my spirit guides for Junko's soul, that she's at peace and that the life she lives after being reborn is absolutely beautiful, full of happiness and joy, with no struggles or issues. I pray to them that the perpetrators get their Karma, that they suffer.. even if not in this lifetime, I hope that they are able to remember their past life actions, what they did to Junko and that they experience all the stuff that they did to her. I'm going to start praying for Yuna too from now on... My brain can't comprehend how somebody can be as evil as those monsters, how they can lack humanity so much. I have ASPD, but I would NEVER do anything violent to the innocent. My dad has ASPD too and he used to always say to me growing up "It's our job to protect the innocent". I don't understand how the girls in Yunas Case did nothing, I used to find myself in situations around grown men that were way more unhinged at that age and when I saw them attack a woman one time, I threw myself between them and the woman and I started punching and hitting so the woman could get away... I don't feel fear and I don't care if anything happens to me, I know that not everybody is like me, but in those 28 days, I'm 100% sure that there was a moment where they could've done something to help her.. I'm so embarrassed to admit that I have the same mental illness, that is always associated with people who commit such horrendous crimes. RIP Yuna, RIP Junko..
It’s very obvious that you are NOTHING like these evil people. Please don’t compare yourself because you have ASPD diagnosis. I’m not a psychologist by any means but for you to pray for murdered victims you don’t even know, shows me you are a very caring and loving person. I thought ASPD hallmark trait was not caring about other people. If you have ASPD it certainly would seem to me that you don’t have that symptom. I’m not trying to invalidate your diagnosis if you truly believe it fits, but this is just my observation. Based on your comment I see a very empathetic and conscientious person.
the fact that so many people were involved in her torture is so horrific and scary. What evils people are capable of when given the opportunity and the mob mentality that takes away responsibility (in their minds) just the creepiest part of that case.
it makes me feel like throwing up each time I hear a portion of her case. I dont think I'v ever listened to any coverage of it fully. I cant bear listening to how she was tortured.. So so many people were involved and I can only imagine how hopeless she must have felt Meanwhile Yoon was able to leave... but they got her again. That's a different type of fear and hopelessness...
This is the most disturbing story I've ever heard. Truly unhinged. Nauseating, shocking, heartbreaking. What breaks in a human mind to let them do these things?
@@Tobelovedpodcasti’ve been researching up on this case for about 2 years now, this is probably if not most, one of the most brutal crimes i’ve ever read may God bless junko and yun’s spirit and may they forever be at peace now 🤍🤍🙏🏼
Please mention her name more often... this video is about Yuna. Her name is never mentioned anywhere-not even in the description-you never learn her full name. Yuna is basically only known as the "Korean Junko" and not as a young, independent girl who went through incredibly horrific experiences. She deserves for her story to be told separately and for her name to be recognized. I feel that Yuna has been overshadowed by Junko’s case; even the title puts her in the background. While I understand the value in comparing similarities between cases, I feel that the focus was entirely on the wrong person. It felt more like I was hearing a retelling of the Junko Furuta case rather than Yuna’s story. Edit: Even in the comments, most of the discussion is only about Junko and what she went through, not about Yuna, the things she had to endure, and the brave actions she took until she was ultimately killed...
The final words 'And that is the case of South Korea's Junko' were just.... not it. Please, your skill at humanizing, if I can say so, the victims is always admirable, and your empathy is unmatched. But for this case, it was not supposed to be about Junko. You do not need clickbait. You are so above that as a true crime storyteller. It is my opinion only, but briefly listing how the cases were similar, and then shifting the focus to how this time's case was different would have been a better format, and it would have done more justice to Yuna. We barely had a chance to know her.
Exactly. These tragedies are not two plots to compare. Unless one is a copycat case. Otherwise this is quite distasteful. Imagine hearing the story of someone you care about just not get the light of day, just be interesting enough to be entertainment for others. That’s so wrong.
right. why did she even have to go over junko’s case too in this episode. there’s so much neglected detail about both cases and victims because they were crammed into the same episode. disappointing
I agree. Yunas' story was horrifying all by itself. There is no comparison because both victims suffered tremendously. I hope she reflects on this comment, it's very well worded!
doesn't calling it the Korean Junko case kind of take away from the victim, not even her own name used to describe the horror she went through.,,,,,,,,,, and dont come for me i love stephanies videos i just disagree with this going down in history with that title and i know its what others named it not just stephanie
The fact that people are scared of leaving valid criticism about this episode in fear of being attacked by fans is so sad. You and everyone else talking about Yuna’s pain are completely right.
yeah when i first read the title i was a bit uncomfortable with the fact that its being referred as 'the korean version' so casually. i do understand though that the titles usually reflect what netizens call it and not the actual case name, but still..
Anyone says "You trust me, right?", RUN! This person senses your doubts, always trust your instincts. The justice system in both countries failed these 2 girls. RIP 🙏🏻
It's so scary to think that two cases set 26 years apart, in different countries can be so terrifyingly similar. May both of the victims (and all feminicide victims) rest in peace
There is also a girl in Kazakhstan, similar to this cases, who got bullied and forced into sex trafficking at 16 y.o. by her classmates. And over 100 men SA-d her, payed money and nobody who knew did nothing. She got free alive but i cant imagine the mental problems poor girl will have for the whole her life.
Honestly being a woman is terrifying. Just because Junko said no, they did horrid things to her. I’m also so sick of the law favoriting the abusers, I just saw a case of a woman getting 25 years because she killed her r**ist. I get it the law is bad when you kill someone but personally I feel these type of cases should be forgiven for killing their attacker. I’ve also noticed this case is similar to Sylvia Likens as well. That’s a really sad case as well :(
A mom in England got more time than these guys for killing the POS that touched her son and who had numerous convictions against other children. He kept getting slaps on the wrist by the court and she couldn't take it anymore. But is that privilege bestowed upon her when she commits her first violent crime with an actual good motive behind it?m No of course not.
@@kltil5082I live in the US and see this daily, it’s almost like flipping a coin of charged or not charged. Some cases I’ve read make no sense on why someone got less of a sentence. We are still dealing with the Tsarnaev’s case from 11 years ago when him and his brother committed the stuff in Boston, don’t think I can say the other word so I will just say stuff. The laws make no sense and like Stephanie said evil seems to repeat itself but maybe that’s because everything is more viral now with phones, computers, internet, etc. I just don’t understand how these cases are so similar if they never heard of Junko’s case.
@@edith1315Sylvia’s story breaks my heart, I only found out about it when Elliot Page played her in a movie called An American Crime. I was like what this random woman who was a neighbor? Like why? Truly evil to her for no reason, it still boggles my mind how she treated her and the neighbor kids
The fact that no other adults were charged in either one of these cases is staggering. How did the parents of the boy who kept Junko captive escape any punishment? What about the motel staff members who willingly looked the other way? The police who failed to do their jobs to protect these girls? It's beyond reproach.
Not a fan of this "comparison" video. Both victim deserve an episode each for their story to be told and not chopped up and intertwined with each other. It's just way too confusing when you keep jumping from story to story
Thought It was just me. Was very compared and hard to separate. Especially when this girl Yuna didn't even get her own name in the video. Just "the south Korean version"
Agree. It’s annoying, confusing, and Yuna deserves her own episode. The cases are both terrible, but they are different cases, and there have been other cases like this as well. Not sure why these two have to be compared in a video like this.
Yuna was lured by her supposed boyfriend Kim, held captive for a month, sexually assaulted, physically abused and ultimately killed in an eerily similar manner to the 1988 'Junko Furuta' case in Japan.
Hey you guys know about the miryang case in korea. It happened in 2004. Three female were gang raped by 44 middle schoolers in a span over one year. No one went to jail. The parents of the rpist blame the gurls. And college didn’t want to accept victims of rpe. But now it is a big thing in korea because a youtuber exposed the predators. Stephanie i hope you cover this case again please bring attention to it
No matter how many true crime cases I've heard and watched, nothing disturbed me more than Junko Furuta's Case, it was hell, my heart aches for these poor women.
Crazily enough it didn’t disturb me as much as everyone says because there are a few cases similar or much more drawn out than Junko’s but aren’t as talked about like Yuna’s since Junko’s case is so popularized
Small donation, ik, but I’ll just say, I was actually waiting on you to cover this case for a bit, I’m American, but I’ve been fixated on this once case since I don’t know when. I’m not finished with it since it just came out, like how it all disgusted me, what all they did to her, what all she had to endure, how many people were involved, the sentence of said people involved, etc. and you’re my favorite true crime TH-camr, even from when you ate in front of the camera, I’ve been following you for years, and my mom has! I’m just gonna say, keep up the good work!!!
This case was actually the second case she ever covered on Rotten Mango. I wonder if this is even more factual now since it’s been a while. But the very first time she covered it there was a lot of gruesome details
Look up the Slivia Likeins case. That one came from our own country. It's just as brutal as these two cases. Slivia was tortured and murdered Gertrude, her children, the neighborhood kids for over a span of 3 months.
*TIMESTAMPS FOR THE YUNA CASE* 12:20 - 19:10 (first part) 25:15 - 25:15 (second part) 28:29 - 34:00 (third part) 34:22 - 36:40 (fourth part) 39:37 - 42:19 (fifth part) 45:10 - 46:10 (sixth part) 47:38 - 48:25 (seventh part) 49:28 - 50:33 (eighth part) 52:42 - 54:28 (ninth part) 58:38 - 1:00:00 (tenth part) 1:01:10 - 1:02:10 (eleventh part) 1:03:22 - 1:04:27 (twelfth part) 1:05:05 - 1:05:52 (thirteenth part) 1:06:35 - 1:08:10 (fourteenth part) 1:09:08 - 1:11:23 (fifteenth part) If you were like me and were expecting a recap on the Yuna case, I'd recommend watching this video: th-cam.com/video/dE_6PnByKgo/w-d-xo.html It's far more concise and is also high quality with good narration, but talks about the case that the video is supposed to be about. If you're interested in the Junko Furuta case, there's plenty of good options, I'd recommend this video : th-cam.com/video/Tp-Y5AP8xJc/w-d-xo.html - it's a little quiet on low volume unlike this video, but the narration is also pretty decent. I'd also recommend looking at the Wikipedia articles as it briefly recaps what occurred during the 44 days she was tortured. Or if you really want to watch a comparison video, this is the only one I've seen (as annoying as the constant flipflopping between the two cases are) so you could watch this in one or watch two separate videos. Good luck out there, stranger!!
I love you guys! 🥺❤️ Thank you for being so amazing and authentic! Thank you for always bringing the best of the best content to us. Thank you for your kindness to the victims as well! Please Keep changing the world!
Aww this is so sweet. Honestly I was struggling to begin the video because both cases are horrible and saddening. Your comment was really heartwarming 🥺💕
I just want to know how the cops and those in the legal system can live with themselves after letting these men get away with such light sentences. This should not be allowed.
yes! especially those who decided not to check the house and not to check cctv records in time. how could they live knowing they could help but decided not to
I've seen a lot of videos talking about Junko's dead body. She did not deserve that. She was a beautiful young lady, yet she wasn't even allowed peace in death. She had her whole life ahead of her. May she rest in peace, and to think something like this happened again is heartbreaking. This young girl should not have died. She should not have been tourted. But this case makes me think how evil can humans be? And why do people take pleasure in watching others suffer? How can children slightly older, sometimes even younger than me, do such evil things? Im 13, children know, wrong from right, they should suffer the consequences of their actions. Sweet Yoona, rest in peace
Thats why i say this is humane, not inhumane cuz humans arent good we r sinners, when its inhumane if u wannna see that ask God to keep u on earth til tribulation times then u will see inhumane cuz theres gonna be demons showing the world what inhumane is
Just doesn’t sit well with me that there’s more comments about Junko’s case over this case. And using Junko’s case a reference (which I understand for SEO and whatnot idk) overshadows this victim’s case tbh. They are both equally horrendous and important to be clearly put out there independently.
She already covered the Junko Case before, and she just the Junko case to show the similarities between the cases. But I do hate to see how everyone is focusing on Junko in the comments, when the video was about Yuno.
it’s because in korea people are so upset that the crimes happened so long after the other but the law hasn’t changed to serve justice even after 26 years
I don't think it's Stephanie's fault that people are letting one case overshadow another. It's genuinely important to compare the two to show how little has changed.
I can't imagine how those girls never felt sorry for another girl who was getting tortured sm. Also, they choose to torture her together?😭😭 For Junko it's only men who did things to her but Yuna....I'm disappointed on those girl tbh. I mean I could never stand a monster torture another human or animal.
Junko’s story is the most horrific and heartbreaking I’ve ever heard, it’s one of the few stories that make me physically uncomfortable to hear. That poor girl. Yoon’s story was also so horrific, I can’t begin to imagine the trauma and pain. This world has such monsters. May they both rest eternally in peace and the perpetrators rot in hell.
I don't think any of us will ever be able to understand the fear, and pain these girls went through. it's extremely heartbreaking and foul. Every time I watch these videos I end up wishing I could travel through time and save them, just so they can live normal lives. God bless there souls. I still just can't seem to wrap my head around why our world is so evil and cruel. Yoon did not deserve any of that, and neither did Junko. I hate when people blame the victims. Thank you for always bringing awareness to everyone. I love your channels and all the content y'all make.
The s*men thing is legit the most gruesome and disgusting thing I've ever heard of in my life. I cannot believe these people can simply go on living. Wtf
Junko got picked because she rejected a date, Yuna got picked because she accepted a date, there really is no winning.
"damned if you do, damned if you don't" sad reality of women's lives
Yes, quite literally quote damned if you do and damned if you don't"
I didn't even think about this aspect! Wow... it really made my heart sink...
Reminds of the women in India who get acid thrown at them for rejecting, or accepting advances. Lose lose.
But in actual Japanese stories, Miyano met Junko at the day of the kidnapping. The rejection didn't took place. They already did that to other girls they kidnapped before Junko.
Junko Furuta case convinced me that some people do not deserve to be called human.
@@penultimania4295 ooookay, this is a real life case, not the best time to be acting edgy.
@@penultimania4295not the time and place for that.

@@pragyasingh2297 I love horror games because they're pure escapism. True evil is out there.
@@saudade1063
Though I agree with @penultimania4295
It's unfortunately part of human nature that some people are just messed up. Think about the wars in this world, the conflicts in less developed countries and radical ideologies (Fascism in todays India, terrorists in many african countries, ...). Without laws and social norms preventing such horrific violence, there's always a percentage of people who commit such acts. If there are decent social norms and laws, those messed up people might just beat their wife in private (which is obviously horrible in itself), but those laws and norms normally prevent them from actually murdering someone or worse. If the same kind of person lives in a society where violence against certain minorities is accepted, or even respected (fascist or extremist religious ideologies heavily support this part of human nature) those same people would commit the most vile acts without raising an eyebrow.
Obviously the monsters in this video did those acts in countries that should be safe. This just shows how safe they felt due to their connections to the mafia.
Generally, there is a case to be made that violence is a part of human nature. Like all personality traits the tendency to violence varies a lot from person to person and some people are just naturally evil.
Junko winning that majong game seems almost poetic in the bleakest sense, they had done their damnest to take everything away from her, her dignity, her humanity, her life, but she still won. At her most broken, she is still so, so much more than they could ever be.
I'm at the same point, in the video right now. It broke me.
You put it perfectly. 💔
Yeah, that's making me tear up. I'm glad she got to have that. I'm horrified, and near-sick at what they did to her... And I'm honestly in awe of her for being able to do that.
Sadly, that part is exaggerated by people. There's no official record of this happening. I wish it were true though...
@@theonlyhikarueven if its not, for all she went through, the girl deserves to have some sort of positive story for people to remember her by (that doesnt take away from the torture she endured). Even if its false, the majong game story is a way to show how strong she was in a less gruesome way, because being put through that much torture and surviving as long as she did takes a strong person. I also wish it were true, but even if its not, its at leastna good metaphor for how strong the poor girl was through this horrific torture.
Absolutely
how do some people get 40+ years for stealing things but 7-8 years for TORTURING someone?
Ikr, society is cooked :/
This is such a puzzle, how is this even justifiable by any measures? So many people have had life sentences and even death sentences for lesser crimes... But crimes like this get only 7-8 years... This is just inhuman.
Such injustice, breaks my heart
So awful!
Ikr:( Society is just not fair😔
Criminals getting 7-20 years in jail is way too low for such vile act
It's unfair its horrible
I agree…it’s outrageous
Idk what they were thinking with such low sentences. And the fact they are all free now too.

Each beating.. each abuse.. should be a 10 year minimum charge. 😢my heart shattered at each remark of abuse
Why does SK protect these men? These men are not afraid to commit a crime since they will likely serve a short time in prison. So unfair.
I watched a lot pf SK true crimes and it seems that SK system has more sympathy for abusers
It's like the logic "yeah he's horrible person but at least he can achieve career bit victim cannot even help herself so she's useless anyway:
@@mayakovskethis so sad 😢
I think it's bc intelligent abusere often like to take positions it work that gives power. Like law, medicine, police, politic... That's a fields where's the most psychopaths and abusers bc they feel they have real power.
I'm not saying that every one of them is evil but it's real tendencies.
And abusers with their twisted logic will protect other abusers.
And we just allowed for that.
SK protects SAers, paed*philes, women unalivers. There are plenty of examples even here, on Stephanie's channel.
I will never understand why they protect the trashes identities. Disgusting. The justice system is a joke.
100% I thought the British justice system was diabolical with the amount of prison time, even murder. It’s a common joke with people married over many years of marriage to joke “I’d get longer for murder!” But it’s true.
Even when they are given a ‘life sentence’ say 20 years (rare!) you know that they are only going to do half. It’s actually surprising when someone is given a life sentence of x amount of time and they have to serve the whole sentence.
Unless they are under 16 their legal names are published/available.
The Korean justice system seems very lax.
America seems to go overboard with some sentences like drugs etc.
I just realised that you might actually be British and know how terrible the justice system is 🙈
imo its definitely lawmakers cover their own behinds incase they're ever caught for the things theh undoubtedly do
probably because the justice system protects the rich u should watch the silenced the guy only got 6 months 2 years parole
Every justice system has 1 main goal, protect those with money and power. THEY DONT give af about anyone else.

This case is one of the worst out there. You have had that reaction because you are a normal human being with empathy unlike the perpetrators in this case.
You are right to be aware it’s not always good for your mind to consume true crime content if it deeply disturbs you. I personally don’t want to watch cases involving children since having babies. It’s so distressing for me.
Some disgusting people exist but I remind myself that most people are good, they do their best and the very bad people just stick out like sore thumb because it is so hard to comprehend.

The fact that in both cases, almost all of the killers are still out there alive and living life just fills me up with rage.
Same its insane
Same here, like makes me so mad I want to cry because I can’t do anything about it. The Justice system royally fucked over Yuna & Junko both.
@@JustEnjoyThisShii Same
If they get exposed like people involved in the Miryang case, I will not feel any sympathy for them.
@@JustEnjoyThisShiithey may of evaded justice here on earth, but rest assured God works overtime. And when it comes time to face the ultimate judge, I believe God will make them each experience the exact pain and torment they put her through. Because that’s the only real justice, understanding truly and completely how it felt for junko and yuna.
Shinji actually has an account on Twitter where he complains about people sending him death threats for what he did to Junko, it's actually baffling.
Whats the account name
What's the account name?😇 just for common knowledge
i did comment on that post of his wishing him only the worst. it angers me to no belief to know that people like him can still have platforms and be active in public places

literally one of the most horrendous cases ik THE FACT HER ABUSERS GOT SUCH A LOW SENTENCE IS FOUL
Ikr so sad
They're all free rn too
@@irisbean7204 ITS LITERALLY SICKENING LIKE THEY NEED LIFE IN JAIL
And their identities were protected too
I fully agree to you and I hate that they got lay case!
I listened to the junko case for the first time about 5 years ago. It haunted me then, I couldn’t sleep or eat, I took a long break from true crime even. I was in disbelief that a person, A TEENAGER, could live through this kind of torture for so long and the depraved, horrific perpetrators are free. I waited a while to listen to this case in and honestly, I am just as disgusted and heartbroken as I was back then. Thank you for bringing light to this in a respectful way
No I agree after this case I had trouble going to the bathroom to point I was so nervous I like couldn’t I took a long break from true crime😅
I hate how cops literally couldve atleast saved her by checking the cameras but refused to do anything about it. Every person in law enforcement who allowed this to happen should be jailed or ATLEAST fired and im dead serious
It makes me think that at least some of them were in on it. Like maybe some of them had a connection to the murderers and protected them.
@@elizabethbaron552 Wouldn't surprise me, these types of men are everywhere. Hence why men have no problem finding other men to partake in r*pe with. Women need to start waking up to the true nature that so many of them hide.
Honestly most of South Koreas legal/justice system should be put in jail. The only ones who probably arent corrupt are the front line guys (and girls) who unfortunately have no power/control over decisions and situations and have to just follow orders.
cops have legally no obligation to protect anyone, they are there to prevent you from annoying the rich and the politicians, look up the case of the guy that got stabbed in front of a cop and the cop at the end of it all said that to him or the uvalde case, just to name a few on the USA (the land of the law, the free and the "brave" mind you), so yeah its better to trust yourself to protect yourself most of the time
No. It's hardcore Japanese misogyny. Look up other Japanese cases that are out there, police doesn't do shit. And, the majority of Japanese women do not report their assault because they are shamed for it (even within the doors of the law).
some of you are missing the point. she isnt comparing the cases to dismiss yunas case but to show that despite evolving, despite changing times, evil wont change. some people are just rotten. some are just pure evil. a similar case happening 26 years later just proves that people are evil
I see where your coming from but I feel like she could of executed this better, junko’s story is well known, I’m not saying no one should talk about her cuz they should, she went through such a horrific thing but I feel like she could of gotten the point across differently without pushing yunas to the side, they were both innocent human beings, they deserve their own video and story 😞
@@yuyust7615 No YOU are missing the point. You DO NOT mix victims stories like this. It takes away from both of their importance. Especially when Yuna gets called "Korea's Junko", it's harmful continuing to perpetuate that narrative by continuing to compare both victims to each other. And telling their stories in confusing pieces all mashed up together instead of telling a coherent story, the way they deserve.
For me personally, having heard Junko's case more than once (unfortunately), I found myself trying to fast forward through her devastating story to try to put together Yuna's story. I would have much preferred to hear her story on its own; or at least separated in the same episode if she wanted to compare them.

I've heard Junko's case be covered countless times and yet there was so much you said I had no idea happened, the case somehow just gets worse and worse. I have no idea how Junko or Yuna stayed alive for so long, it's actually haunting
the fact that both cases are 26 years apart yet so similar shows that society has not progressed in any way whatsoever, women are still seen as objects by some men. what angers me the most is that THE AUTHORITIES IN BOTH THE CASES DIDNT EVEN FREAKING TRY AND SK PROTECTS THE NAMES OF THE FUCKING ASSAULTERS?? HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE???
Police was chronically worthless and incompetent, particularly when it comes to individuals who aren't elite or associated with money (possibly with the exception of Barry and Honey Sherman). Of course, they won't do shit until it's too late, or they frame innocent people through their blatant lies.
It doesn't!😭😭
That's the mindset of these people and authorities for you...
Our species has gotten WAY Worse, and I blame the internet. When you can literally be exposed to and be witness to the most horrible and vile things that our species does to one another as well as to animals. It just numbs people to those types of things. And makes them seem norm and acceptable. They lose all the negative feelings one should have about them. And then you can find groups of like minded people’s to discuss, egg on, give tips, andeven celebrate with you, when you decide to do some nasty disturbing thing. It truly mind boggling. I bet the statistics of everything vile and criminal is beyond over the top nowadays.
Just like the average 25-50 serial killers just within the USA, I guarantee it’s doubled at the very least.
Our whole societal structure and people’s values and morals have been damaged beyond repair by the internet/social media.
We have just failed at an epic level, as a species. There is no more humanity left in humans!
I just listened to s story just as torturous as this but it was literally done to a 3 year old.
Now to me these cases prove one thing, there is no ‘god/s’ out there. If there is, ‘They’ are one twisted and sick MFer to even allow this type of BS to go on, period.
Nothing I would devote my faith and love into would allow such stuff!
Ugh grr!
As well as, ALL the brutality, hate, ignorance, and utter devastation that goes on. And most of it created by humans!
Truly makes me sick!
Now the number of women accomplices increased. Now both women and men are equally monsters.
PEOPLE this is NOT about Junko it’s about Yoon - the Junko case is being mentioned for comparison purposes. Please share your heartache for this young woman too, not just Junko. Yoon is barely being mentioned by anyone in comments.
I was just about to comment this as well. It's so sad, even the thumbnail used makes it feel it's about Junko. It's sad what happened to both of them but this time, it's supposed to be Yoons turn to be talked about and mourned...
Ik I'm scrolling through the comments and I'm barely seeing anything about Yuna who the case is about. The Junko Furuta case is only for comparison to see the similarities of the two cases.
Obviously I'm not skimming over what happened to Junko by any means but I think Rotten mango did a video about her already. Also not sending hate to rotten mango I love her videos but it would have been so much better if she put a photo of Yuna in the thumbnail or Yuna and Junko side by side.
Honestly it's crazy that history really did repeat itself only in a different place.
Hey you guys know about the miryang case in korea. It happened in 2004. Three female were gang raped by 44 middle schoolers in a span over one year. No one went to jail. The parents of the rpist blame the gurls. And college didn’t want to accept victims of rpe. But now it is a big thing in korea because a youtuber exposed the predators.

Top comment
Absolutely. My heart breaks for Junko and Yoon, who were taken from the world too soon in the most brutal ways. To me it was the fact that people had 30 years to reflect on what happened to Junko but then moved on because they gave such short prison sentences. It boggles my mind, HOW could anyone possibly move on after hearing this? And why aren’t you making an example by giving these people harsher sentences? If we don’t learn from history, it’s gonna happen again.
south korean men wonder why women dont wanna be around them when this case is still so recent and the misogyny is still so rampant
I don't think it's okay to generalize coz there are so many women too who made some gruesome crime. Some women who act as a victim but not, the reason why those who are real victims are being snub more now coz false accusation.
but this vid isnt abt the women being the same so stop because this case is heartbreaking and caused by MEN.@@3126-u2m
The amount of female idols who have recieved threats for being feminists or reading feminist writings tells you all you need to know about how men perceive women in South Korea. It's seriously horrifying.
oh yeah because this is what the average korean man does🤡🤡
Oo@@atsumusakusa246
As a Japanese man, my heart breaks every time I see Junko Furuta san's name or the name of the incident online. As a member of Generation Z, I didn't experience the atmosphere and news coverage of the time in real time, but that incident is remembered as one of the worst in Japan's criminal history. As a man, I am truly sorry that such a heinous incident occurred in Japan. I believe that the fact that Junko san's name is mentioned every time a similar crime occurs around the world is a cross that has been placed upon us.
I hope all women find peace.
sorry for my bad english😔
your english is immaculate
Thanks for this comment, really. When I see cases like this, I lose hope and it becomes difficult for me not to generalize. It's very dark. I'm glad there are men like you.
Misogyny plays a huge rule in how both Junko and Yoona were targeted and attacked. The idea that they were not people but simply s*x object and entertainment. Both Japan and Korea have a massive issue with misogyny. You can even see it in the way law enforcement acted or the way the killers mothers defend their sons. Even the laws that protect the killers identities prioritize mens reputation above a girls life. That's why its so important to push for not only more progressive laws but also progressive social change.
But how progressive though? There are extremes on both sides
@@teec.9805 ??? women are being abused, tortured, and murdered but you're worried about being "too progressive"? Men dont lose anything by treating women with dignity and respect.
@@teec.9805using the “it can get extreme” argument against feminism when we’re talking about girls who have been used to their core, destroyed both physically and mentally in the most EXTREME ways possible (clear feminicides) is SiCKENING.

@@teec.9805 Have you ever heard of 100 women raping a man? No, I don't think so

I'm a medical doctor- I can barely fathom the damage setting fireworks off inside your body would cause. Certainly setting them off inside someone's genitals would put the person at risk of having their uterus and colon rupture. Colon contents (feces) would leak into their abdominal cavity (the area that holds your stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, etc). If that injury didn't cause you to bleed to death, you would likely die of sepsis/infection within 2-3 days.
(You may get lots of offers but I'd be happy to answer any medical questions you have when you're researching videos!)
Thank you for reporting on these devastating stories. Sex trafficking is one of the most horrific crimes that exists, and it occurs in every country- though admittedly this level of sadism is very extreme. I am so sad for the victims...grateful that they could eventually escape it, even in death, because no one should have to experience something like this.
I feel that In Western culture, we have become so desensitized and Blaise when experiencing True crime stories. Crime media is so over saturated in the media, that I feel we have become mechanical and routine when stories of injustice and inhumanity are explicitly. What I feel is directly missing is the medical details, what exactly is occuring in the body what is this human being truly enduring, the hours, the minutes. The body broken and I feel when we can reconnect to that shock and horror we will also connect back to empathy, grief and have that duality of both absolute nihilistic misery that humans are capable of such sadism, but also that saving grace that these jackals were unable to break the victims spirit. That the community was outraged, that decent people still exist. I believe a far deeper look into what is occuring medically would actually help to humanize the victim, and allow the audience to understand the totalality of the event. I base alot of this opinion on my own personal reactions of learning about the medical scientist who studied crucifixion and conducted experiments that really outlined the horrible nature of that execution. Anyhow, I didn't mean to ramble, lol. I think I'll watch some 80s music videos to counter this ponderance on dark subject matter. 😮
I’m only a student mental health nurse but we do have to learn the same as general nurses in the UK. I appreciate your post and was actually thinking the same things believe it or not .its disgraceful and disgusting the way these vigrants behaved. I watch lots of these posts and cannot believe the depravity of some people.
I'm a medical student, and I legit cannot fathom how she was still alive after going through so much torture.
truly one of the worst crime cases EVER.
Agreed..
agreeed so badly 😢

It is almost unreal

3 weeks have passed and this case still deeply disturbs me. I remember talking about this episode with my roommate and we were both in silence and disbelief watching it.
I don't understand it, I don't think I ever want to understand just how twisted people can become to act this way. What was in the air in the 80s in Japan that prompted those boys to act that way? Jumping on her head into the concrete.... I can't even...
And to her Korean counterpart many years later. I feel so sorry for you. You were supposed to be living in much safer times yet.... At least you got, not the best, but better justice than your Japanese counterpart.
I truly hope you two are in much healthier and happy places. I wish you see each other then and congratulate one another for being so strong.
Thank you to Stephanie for telling their stories❤
That was such a beautifully written comment. Let us never the poor innocent victims so we can work to make sure nothing similar ever happens again. I hope there will never be case that;s compared to Junko or Yoon's ever again 🙏
Everyone, remember one thing well: if the police and/or bystanders had not been lazy and ignorant, then both of these girls would be alive and safe today, they could've stood there in the court, telling the world about the pain they endured. It wouldn't have been so easy for the court to set them free if the victim had been able to stand their and talk about their story.
All we can now do is tell their story for them, and not be ignorant like the bystanders in both these cases. If you see a girl who looks uncomfortable or unwell in company of others, assume the worst and help them, even if you helping them is merely handing them a note.
This is probably the one time I won't watch a rotten mango episode, this case disturbes me too much. Stay safe y'all
Take care of yourself ❤
same, honestly can’t with this case.
i couldn’t watch one recently. take care
please take care ❤
Same here. This is such a childhood nightmare for me - as a woman and as a kid during that time I heard about this horrifying case
Tragic how the journalists honored Junko Furuta more than the police and the legal system. The legal system protects those monsters, while the journalists warn Japan of the monster's identity as well as guaranteeing that the monsters cannot pretend to be human again (live normally/hidden identity). Too bad Yuna isn't honored in the same way...
For real?
@@Just_kurosama In my opinion, the law protected the identities of Junko Furuta killers so that her murder would not 'ruin their social lives' after prison, but the journalists did not allow them that luxury. And in my opinion, that is more honorable to Junko than her killers being seen as upstanding citizens and living a life without consequences
@@sikorilzcx4513 your right on that but either way people from both ways of how they did shit to either Yuna or Junko are really fucked up
i'm sure people have tried to get their names out but it must have been hard
How could they stomach doing all that?? I can't believe there are people like that. It's so scary to think that there might be people we encounter everyday that can do the exact same thing to you. The possibility frightens me, I wish the police can even be trusted.
Same😢
I found out about junko's case when i was 12-13 years old and it took me a WHILE to digest what had happened to her. Now after recalling the details ( i actually didn't know that she got wax poured on herself and that her tendons were cut ) i get goosebumps i feel so bad for her that i wanna cry. We women never get peace even after death. Breaks my heart.
Yoon's tendons were cut.
@@bluenomadbruhwhat is your point? Both girls suffered intense torture and both girls shared pain. That fact you’d try and one up Junko’s case baffles me.
Yeah.. Its Junko is the case that stuck with me the most. I feel like every time I hear about the case again I hear something new and horrible that they did. It really feels like the was no end to the torture they put her through.
@@Jumojo it's like an onion , you keep peeling and discovering new layers
@@jxvips I think they were just correcting them...
I honestly feel like justice wasn't properly served with these cases. Their abusers getting THAT low of a sentence baffles me.
Oh goes without saying! They need to be in jail for life, at minimum..
Yeah. At this point courts are protecting perpetrators more than victims. There's no room for logic anymore.
Some cases like these provoke urge to advocate for death sentencing, am sorry the thought of having tax used to feed, clothe and keep such vile things warm in prison?no
At that point are the abusers even human?
Presenting baffling and et.cuss or curse words
At this point I dont want ANYONE asking why women choose a bear over us
A couple weeks ago I mentioned Junko Furuta under a TikTok comment when they had a TikTok about that, or I think it was why women are afraid to say no to a date or something. Her name holds power. I say that baby girl’s name all the time, when anyone asks why women are a certain way I say her name and tell them to search her up. Usually the response is quiet, or tears, or apologizing to me for not understanding how dangerous it can be to be dragged off by strangers and r***d mercilessly even if you just exist and don’t even “poke the bear.”
@EmiL_from_NieR omg literally so many people bring her up when men argue the topic, I cant imagine what either Yoon or Junko were feeling in those days. It's so sad we have to bring up well known cases to get it through their heads
@@Em.Anneta to be fair, a lot of people aren’t as informed. I’ve told people about different cases before when they said some things and brought people to tears before. Not intentionally, I just… I’m a bit of a cynic. Not paranoid, just I know bad things can happen anytime. My mom is a licensed paramedic/medical examiner so I know death can come in an instant. One time a guy said girls who take rides from strangers are stupid and to not get in unless there is a woman. I brought up Jaycee Dugard (my personal hero I love her she’s such a queen 😍) and then I bring up Ian and Myra Henly and all the children they killed and a***d together. I only do this if someone tries to victim blame; since I cannot STAND that sh*t.
@@EmiL_from_NieR and respect to you tbh, ive personally argued with people who just want to be ignorant so I brought that up, but props to you🙌
@@Em.Anneta yeah. I try to understand some people are uninformed, but some are just straight up not listening. I usually just will say I’m glad they don’t understand because that means they’ve had a damn blessed life and I hope they never HAVE to understand. I don’t want people to understand, I just want them to know it exists and to be kinder to people that have been hurt 😔
If Junko’s perpetrators had been punished in a way that set a permanent example to the world, this case wouldn’t have happened. They were given such ridiculous sentences and got away with one of the most heinous crimes known to man. If they had been punished properly, it would have discouraged these boys from repeating the same crime 26 years later.
I am so disgusted right now like wtf? only 7-8 years? death caused by assault? and now they're free? the fact that Junko was alive through all that was really scary, not only Junko but Yuna too. I hope that at least their souls would be at peace
I hate the people that run this world so much, they're just as bad as the people they claim they brought to justice whether they want to admit it or not
literally.. noooo waaay ive seen people do smaller crimes and get MORE TIME??? and how are they hiding the names of the perpetrators??
The fact both victims were failed by the justice system.. No matter how many people share their stories it wont change the fact two young girls went through hell
this case actually broke me. poor girl did not deserve that

@@elizabethbaron552 That would piss me off if i went through that and someone told me that . They weren't important enough for God to help then just how important do you have to be for your prayers to get through to god?
@@michaeltreu4152 I understand what you are saying. Look what happened to Jesus himself. But remember they nailed him to that cross and he bled out and died and rose again. This is what Jesus promises us all, so long as we believe in him. He will never force us to be with him, because that isn’t love. I know in the situations those girls were in, they certainly would have prayed to God in desperation whether they believed before or not. Everybody does, when it comes down to life or death like that. Because inherently we know he is real. He loves those girls just as much as you and me- which is infinite.I know he was there with them in their last moments, and where they went after (Heaven) is the opposite of suffering. All I know is, I was a wretch and I shouldn’t have lived the 6 times I overdosed on fentanyl. The time I committed suicide ended up in a coma and came back. He brought me back. What are the odds? Many of the people I loved the most died, and they died young. Some of the most amazing hearted people. The only thing I can make sense of, is that maybe God wanted to be with them in Heaven, in the most present and loving way he could. Maybe they had important work to do in Heaven, and God needed them. It doesn’t seem like to us back on earth, that they were saved, but I believe they were. At the end of the day, neither you nor I, nor anyone can guarantee we won’t meet a violent end to our flesh. But the soul is more real than the flesh, and nobody can take that away from you. It belongs to God. It can be beaten down and crushed by evil forces, but the soul prevails after physical death, and it goes to a place much greater than anything in this world can offer.
One think that is very impressive and arguably disturbing about human organs is that they would shuffle back to their original place even when you throw them somewhat randomly in place. When surgeons open up the body they dont put the intestines back in place, they just tuck it in and they go back on their own so for her organs to be distorted to badly to not stay in their place is worse than you think it is.
Sadly, in both cases, EVERYONE failed these girls.
With Junko - the officers who went to the kidnapper's house? They got fired after her body was found.
With Yuna - everyone failed this girl.
Even Junko's parents. They didn't even search for her like WTF?? I also find them responsible.
@@asudesokmen1277 Don't blame them. Don't you remember how they forced her to call her parents and tell them that shes ok? They still looked for her though, it was the police who didn't take their job seriosuly.

Right! She deserves to have her story told for what it was.
Her story isn’t lost at all… she’s literally telling the story in this video. I didn’t know anything about Yuna before but now I do. What exactly are you complaining for?
@@EmmieQuake 90% of the comments are about junko and not about yuna 😏
She covered Yuna's story. I never heard about her before. The two cases are similar. She did an excellent job covering both cases.
Exactly, and Stephanie’s show notes for this episode only include pictures of Junko.. seems misleading and disrespectful to me
Both girls were minors that deserved the world and instead went through hell, their families deserve nothing but respect and love.
It also broke my heart thinking about how the father of one of the girls (I forget which) took her to church and told everyone thinking it would protect her more, but it was the reason the evil fuckers went back after her. I can’t imagine the blame he must place upon himself. And the fact that both of these girls loved their families so much that they put the welfare of their families above themselves, and sacrificed themselves so their family wouldn’t get killed.
@@elizabethbaron552 exactly 😭😭😭
Thank you for shining light on this.
As a SA victim, most are forgotten about, blamed for lying, etc. Glad people are believing and still remembering even after all this time.
Once again, thank you.
Think of yourself as a survivor, not a victim. That's how I force myself to think of myself being one too on multiple occasions.
I almost got teary-eyed when I saw this video pop up. I remember how much Junko Furuta case impacted me when I was 13 years old, now I'm 24 and working in a criminal justice system, and I still think about this case a lot and carry it in my heart. I will probably watch this video eventually, because Stephanie and her team always give across so much respect and empathy for the victim. I love to think that we all end up watching this video or reading comments to collectively support and mourn the beautiful life that we lost in such unspeakable circumstances. Will till the end of my days think about Junko.
P.S. And the victim in the Korean case, Yoon, discussed in this video.
That was sad
You made me cry. I think of her often.
Yuna*
This is Yoon, not Junko. Right? Like both cases are heart wrenching but not the same
You can't even recall the name of the victim in this video. It's funny how you're so empathetic towards one victim but the victim that this video is dedicated to just brushed past your mind when she had to suffer through 26 days of tormenting hell before her life finally went out. Double standards is what I call that. Fyi, her name is Yuna
I don't understand South Korea. I lived there for a few years and it has always felt incredibly safe. But other times I feel like Korea and Japan have low crime rates but the crimes people do commit are literal nightmares.
That's exactly how i feel too😢
How is it safe if you cannot even walk to restroom without expecting hidden camera or something? Rates are low because crimes against women and children treated as a joke
Always remember that the world has hidden dangers. Just covered in sugar sight.
As a Korean who lived in both Korea and America, Korea is relatively safe in terms of being able to walk around at night and just walking to go from place to place. There's not much organ traffickers like China, no gun like America, no gangs like Mexico. But just like ANY countries, it all depends on the areas in the country you're in. Also its difficult to generalize a whole country's safety level based on some crimes cases because evil people exist everywhere. I would say its a relatively safe country but Id assume its because people have that sort of concept of 'Korea being a safe country' that when you hear about cases like this and stuff like burning sun and nth room, it comes across as even more extreme because it collides with your expectation.
Crimes stats are only low in those places cause they don't care about women and children's safety, they literally have separate trains for women cause it's so bad, on top of spy cam and overburdening ant of revenge porn
This almost made me physically ill. These are 2 of the worst cases I've ever heard. These girls deserved so much better. Justice was not served.
Dear Stephanie/Rotten Mango team. I was born in Slovakia raised by Hungarian parents. Also I have spent around 25 years living in London, UK. In the mean time I've been fortunate enough to have the chance to travel to many countries. You and your team are doing an amazing job.

When I first learned about Junko Furuta’s case, I questioned my faith in humanity. It’s so disgusting and scary how so many people knew about these cases, yet no one tried to help these poor girls. It goes to show how truly sick and despicable people could be.
“it goes to show how truly sick and despicable people could be” just say males
I remember when I heard about the Junko Furuta case. Its so sad that someone can do this to another human being because they couldnt take rejection.
i just wanna say, the story that Junko rejected them was mistranslated. the males who harmed her, just... picked her, she was a young woman who existed in society... may Junko forever rest in peace ❤
The 1st X I heard that case... idk, it changed me, broke me some way.
or for whatever any other reason or no reason although that gives it an even more pathetic reason but lightly in comparison as it's not the time for school style drama
Psychopaths don’t need a reason to terrorise
Junko’s case is one that haunts me whenever I remember the details of it. And I’ve only looked at that case maybe once or twice. The fact that there is a Korean version of this is heartbreaking.
No way?! There’s another similar case?

Just a reminder that one of Junko’s tormentors, Hiroshi Miyano, picked on her and targeted her, tortured her, because she rejected his offer to date him. Remember that.
Edit: I feel as though I should mention that Yoona is also a victim, and I don’t want to ignore her and her trauma as well. What they both went through is horrible, and their perpetrators should have been punished accordingly. The law and the people around them failed them.
Edit #2: I feel like I should preface that this video is about BOTH of them. And how similar their cases are, from how they were lured in to how their perpetrators committed the atrocities, even down to how they got caught. I feel like we should look at both of these girls and not compare or say that one case was worse than the other. Both these girls are victims and it’s important we realize that this cycle will continue until we actually do something about the system hurting them.
That fact haunts me… it’s disgusting and scary the need of some men to possess women like objects. This case is literally an extreme example of misogyny.
this video isnt about her
@@tomysoulsocietyare you victim police. Get over it.
I just wonder - what is with men/boys and their intolerance to rejection? And then they often talk about how 'modern women have ridiculous standards' 🙄More like we have standards now so that we can avoid azzholes like you.
@@g.i.520Get over it? Bro your literally just saying that this case doesnt matter. Just imagine getting sa'd. Unless if you actually know what its like to be sa'd. Shut up.
Impulse control issues, is buying an expensive pair of Jordans instead of paying your phone bill. Torturing a girl, means you HAD THE SADISTIC IMPULSE in the first place… 😠
This 👆👆
Reading that title brings back all the rage and sadness from when I first heard about the original Junko Furuta, knowing there's another one drives me insane.
I feel you.
boohoo bro you're not Batman. you gonna do literally nothing about it
@@shashank8091 We all contribute in small ways and that has been proven through the many research papers on the psychology of crime documentary viewers.
On the other hand, to act so brazenly in the comment section of such a heartbreaking, gut-wrenching video suggests a serious issue you should probably get checked.
@@shashank8091no shit but we have something called empathy
@@shashank8091stop yapping you psycho
Same happened to 16 year old Sylvia Likens. She was tortured and murdered by Gertrude Baniszewski, Gertrude’s children, and several neighborhood friends. Sylvia was tortured for 3 months and they even forced her little sister, Jenny, to participate in her abuse. May Junko’s, Yuna’s, and Sylvia’s souls rest in peace and may all their perpetrators suffer eternally
Stephanie covered that case. I think the episode was called "the coca cola torture" or something
Omg yes poor Sylvia. What they did to her was horrendous! I never understood why her sister didn't contact their parents & try to save her
@@SouthsideAimMuhbecause she was scared. She was terrified the same thing would happen to her.
@@ucanthandletruth4456 the comment could have been referring to sylvia's other sister, an adult who lived in the area and had at least two known instances of having spoken to her sisters before sylvia's death.
@@SouthsideAimMuhher younger sister was scared to escalate the abuse, and she was very vulnerable.
her older sister thought the girls were exaggerating their conditions under gertrude's care - i don't recall whether she ever spoke to either of the girls once sylvia's abuse became debilitating. the abuse of sylvia was QUICK to lead to the death of her.
"damned if you do, damned if you don't" is a quote I remembered when I heard what happened to Yuna. She accepted the date and Junko denied one. Men.. are terrifying.
A curse, a curse upon all their houses ☠️
Both of these girls deserved so much better in life, my heart goes out to both of their families.
Reminder to the comments that junko is not the only victim mentioned in this video!! We should give our respect and love to BOTH girls, Yuna and Junko. (My personal opinion that this thumbnail and title should be changed bc it can misleading and Yunko deserves her own spotlight instead of being overshadowed by a different case although I understand the purpose was to compare but still it could’ve have been handled better)
Its terrifying to think that just 1 person so evil exists but to have to face that several people this evil exist is terrifying
Its is spine chilling and so out of even imaginations, I really appreciate the courage and research it took to present such a case that is worse than a nightmare. You guys are doing the unthinkable, truly and surely helping many girls out there!
Why do people get such low jail time for such horrible crimes??? 7-20 years???Absolutely horrible....
This case was so horrifying. It was gruesome. My heart goes for the girls . They suffered physically and psychologically . Can’t imagine the pain they went through. I don’t know who raised these psychopaths and how they were allowed on the streets . They have no right
People that say things like, " boys will be boys" to me it makes me remember the " bully" story from south Florida not exact similarities, but dysfunctional sick teenagers raising themselves😢
its haunting to hear that the two girls who received far lot worse torture injuries took some time to pass away, yet that man who got blackmailed and beaten to pulp died almost immediately after. poor girls had no one to help them, not even death took pity on them. and the perpetrators were not punished severely. no wonder a lot of unhinged people can get away
I covered my face in stress while listening to the depictions, but that only made them worse. I can't comprehend how humans could do such horrible things to someone, especially after they are so badly injured. Like, why? Why? How? It is. it's so sick. There's no other way to describe it.
It absolutely disgusting that *humans* like this are out there. I've heard of many true crime cases, but this one terrifies me the most. It's disgusting and inhumane of how Junko and Yuna were treated.
Those are not human I’m sorry
@Freeliving111 that's why I said * humans*
Goodness gracious. The Junko Furata case was the first true crime case that actually made me cry. Usually I can detach or feel anger, but this just made me feel utter hopelessness. I knew people are awful, but the fact that someone would willingly do something THIS horrendous and RECREATE IT really shattered some of the newfound hope I’d found in humanity. Sending so much healing to Junko, Yuna, and their loved ones. May your souls be at peace 😢
Same... I researched the Junko furata case after I saw a picture of those vile monsters that did all that too her and a short description on Tumblr, when I was 15. It was the first true crime case that made me cry and made me truly consider for my only mission in life to be, to train and hunt those monsters down, so that true justice can finally be served and the public is protected from people like them...
I always remember all the victims that I have read about, but I think about Junko really often... I'm a spiritual person, I often pray to my spirit guides for Junko's soul, that she's at peace and that the life she lives after being reborn is absolutely beautiful, full of happiness and joy, with no struggles or issues. I pray to them that the perpetrators get their Karma, that they suffer.. even if not in this lifetime, I hope that they are able to remember their past life actions, what they did to Junko and that they experience all the stuff that they did to her. I'm going to start praying for Yuna too from now on... My brain can't comprehend how somebody can be as evil as those monsters, how they can lack humanity so much. I have ASPD, but I would NEVER do anything violent to the innocent. My dad has ASPD too and he used to always say to me growing up "It's our job to protect the innocent". I don't understand how the girls in Yunas Case did nothing, I used to find myself in situations around grown men that were way more unhinged at that age and when I saw them attack a woman one time, I threw myself between them and the woman and I started punching and hitting so the woman could get away... I don't feel fear and I don't care if anything happens to me, I know that not everybody is like me, but in those 28 days, I'm 100% sure that there was a moment where they could've done something to help her.. I'm so embarrassed to admit that I have the same mental illness, that is always associated with people who commit such horrendous crimes. RIP Yuna, RIP Junko..
Furuta*
It’s very obvious that you are NOTHING like these evil people. Please don’t compare yourself because you have ASPD diagnosis. I’m not a psychologist by any means but for you to pray for murdered victims you don’t even know, shows me you are a very caring and loving person. I thought ASPD hallmark trait was not caring about other people. If you have ASPD it certainly would seem to me that you don’t have that symptom. I’m not trying to invalidate your diagnosis if you truly believe it fits, but this is just my observation. Based on your comment I see a very empathetic and conscientious person.
the fact that so many people were involved in her torture is so horrific and scary. What evils people are capable of when given the opportunity and the mob mentality that takes away responsibility (in their minds) just the creepiest part of that case.
it makes me feel like throwing up each time I hear a portion of her case. I dont think I'v ever listened to any coverage of it fully. I cant bear listening to how she was tortured.. So so many people were involved and I can only imagine how hopeless she must have felt
Meanwhile Yoon was able to leave... but they got her again. That's a different type of fear and hopelessness...
This is the most disturbing story I've ever heard. Truly unhinged. Nauseating, shocking, heartbreaking. What breaks in a human mind to let them do these things?
Does she show any pics of her in the way she died? If so I can’t watch 😢
@@Tobelovedpodcasti’ve been researching up on this case for about 2 years now, this is probably if not most, one of the most brutal crimes i’ve ever read may God bless junko and yun’s spirit and may they forever be at peace now 🤍🤍🙏🏼
Probably power and entitlement. These two can make the strongest minds to rot if not careful
Please mention her name more often... this video is about Yuna. Her name is never mentioned anywhere-not even in the description-you never learn her full name. Yuna is basically only known as the "Korean Junko" and not as a young, independent girl who went through incredibly horrific experiences. She deserves for her story to be told separately and for her name to be recognized. I feel that Yuna has been overshadowed by Junko’s case; even the title puts her in the background. While I understand the value in comparing similarities between cases, I feel that the focus was entirely on the wrong person. It felt more like I was hearing a retelling of the Junko Furuta case rather than Yuna’s story.
Edit: Even in the comments, most of the discussion is only about Junko and what she went through, not about Yuna, the things she had to endure, and the brave actions she took until she was ultimately killed...
This case HORRIFIES me. None of them deserved to be called human, what convinces someone to ever do this? Complete monsters.
The final words 'And that is the case of South Korea's Junko' were just.... not it. Please, your skill at humanizing, if I can say so, the victims is always admirable, and your empathy is unmatched. But for this case, it was not supposed to be about Junko. You do not need clickbait. You are so above that as a true crime storyteller. It is my opinion only, but briefly listing how the cases were similar, and then shifting the focus to how this time's case was different would have been a better format, and it would have done more justice to Yuna. We barely had a chance to know her.
Exactly. These tragedies are not two plots to compare. Unless one is a copycat case. Otherwise this is quite distasteful. Imagine hearing the story of someone you care about just not get the light of day, just be interesting enough to be entertainment for others. That’s so wrong.
right. why did she even have to go over junko’s case too in this episode. there’s so much neglected detail about both cases and victims because they were crammed into the same episode. disappointing
that's what i was thinking
I agree. Yunas' story was horrifying all by itself. There is no comparison because both victims suffered tremendously. I hope she reflects on this comment, it's very well worded!
same thoughts here
I feel deep sympathy for the father of Yuna. This case is truly sick and inhuman, I wish the best to the father and the worst to the abusers.
People say that scary movies like “ IT” and “ HALLOWEEN” are scary, but those are NOTHING compared to the cases of Yuna and Junko.
doesn't calling it the Korean Junko case kind of take away from the victim, not even her own name used to describe the horror she went through.,,,,,,,,,, and dont come for me i love stephanies videos i just disagree with this going down in history with that title and i know its what others named it not just stephanie
The fact that people are scared of leaving valid criticism about this episode in fear of being attacked by fans is so sad. You and everyone else talking about Yuna’s pain are completely right.
@@jayofthedeaddexactly, it’s so crazy how you’ll literally get attacked for having empathy FOR the victim of the video. 😐
yeah when i first read the title i was a bit uncomfortable with the fact that its being referred as 'the korean version' so casually. i do understand though that the titles usually reflect what netizens call it and not the actual case name, but still..
@@poingucac exactly it feels so dehumanizing
does anyone know the actual girl’s case name i genuinely just cant find it
Anyone says "You trust me, right?", RUN! This person senses your doubts, always trust your instincts.
The justice system in both countries failed these 2 girls. RIP 🙏🏻
It's so scary to think that two cases set 26 years apart, in different countries can be so terrifyingly similar. May both of the victims (and all feminicide victims) rest in peace
There is also a girl in Kazakhstan, similar to this cases, who got bullied and forced into sex trafficking at 16 y.o. by her classmates. And over 100 men SA-d her, payed money and nobody who knew did nothing. She got free alive but i cant imagine the mental problems poor girl will have for the whole her life.
this case is so hard to even just listen to, it's insane to think an innocent girl had to go through all that
Ikr so sad 😞
2 girls
Honestly being a woman is terrifying. Just because Junko said no, they did horrid things to her. I’m also so sick of the law favoriting the abusers, I just saw a case of a woman getting 25 years because she killed her r**ist. I get it the law is bad when you kill someone but personally I feel these type of cases should be forgiven for killing their attacker.
I’ve also noticed this case is similar to Sylvia Likens as well. That’s a really sad case as well :(
A mom in England got more time than these guys for killing the POS that touched her son and who had numerous convictions against other children. He kept getting slaps on the wrist by the court and she couldn't take it anymore. But is that privilege bestowed upon her when she commits her first violent crime with an actual good motive behind it?m No of course not.
Yes, it also reminded me her case, human nature is awful
Exactly
@@kltil5082I live in the US and see this daily, it’s almost like flipping a coin of charged or not charged. Some cases I’ve read make no sense on why someone got less of a sentence. We are still dealing with the Tsarnaev’s case from 11 years ago when him and his brother committed the stuff in Boston, don’t think I can say the other word so I will just say stuff. The laws make no sense and like Stephanie said evil seems to repeat itself but maybe that’s because everything is more viral now with phones, computers, internet, etc. I just don’t understand how these cases are so similar if they never heard of Junko’s case.
@@edith1315Sylvia’s story breaks my heart, I only found out about it when Elliot Page played her in a movie called An American Crime. I was like what this random woman who was a neighbor? Like why? Truly evil to her for no reason, it still boggles my mind how she treated her and the neighbor kids
The fact that no other adults were charged in either one of these cases is staggering. How did the parents of the boy who kept Junko captive escape any punishment? What about the motel staff members who willingly looked the other way? The police who failed to do their jobs to protect these girls? It's beyond reproach.
I don’t understand why government would not care to release these monsters into society unless they had some benefit
Junko's story never gets easier to hear. It's so sad that people failed her. :(
This is Yunas story
This is YOON's story. (her name isn't yuna, its based off her surname "Yun")
Not a fan of this "comparison" video. Both victim deserve an episode each for their story to be told and not chopped up and intertwined with each other. It's just way too confusing when you keep jumping from story to story
Thought It was just me. Was very compared and hard to separate. Especially when this girl Yuna didn't even get her own name in the video. Just "the south Korean version"
I’m thinking maybe it was because Steph covers the Junko case already. But yes it would be nice if Yoona has her own story told
Agree. It’s annoying, confusing, and Yuna deserves her own episode. The cases are both terrible, but they are different cases, and there have been other cases like this as well. Not sure why these two have to be compared in a video like this.
Its insensitive too
I did not find it confusing (and English isn't even my native language). I think a comparison like this was a good idea, they are such similar cases.
Yuna was lured by her supposed boyfriend Kim, held captive for a month, sexually assaulted, physically abused and ultimately killed in an eerily similar manner to the 1988 'Junko Furuta' case in Japan.
Thank you captain obvious
@@kltil5082 LMAO, right???
Ok? We are here to watch/listen to it...so we know already. AI bot...
your such a good storyteller.
dont know why people that cover these story's try to make themselves sound creepy, I really like your natural approach
every rotten mango title is more insane then the last
Literally omg
this case is commonly refered to as the 26 days of hell, it's one of the worst I've studied.
I wish she mentioned the victims names … out of respect
Hey you guys know about the miryang case in korea. It happened in 2004. Three female were gang raped by 44 middle schoolers in a span over one year. No one went to jail. The parents of the rpist blame the gurls. And college didn’t want to accept victims of rpe. But now it is a big thing in korea because a youtuber exposed the predators. Stephanie i hope you cover this case again please bring attention to it
And for this case any title is downplaying the actual hell and horror that it really was
No matter how many true crime cases I've heard and watched, nothing disturbed me more than Junko Furuta's Case, it was hell, my heart aches for these poor women.
Crazily enough it didn’t disturb me as much as everyone says because there are a few cases similar or much more drawn out than Junko’s but aren’t as talked about like Yuna’s since Junko’s case is so popularized
Like what cases? @@Cottagefairycore
Small donation, ik, but I’ll just say, I was actually waiting on you to cover this case for a bit, I’m American, but I’ve been fixated on this once case since I don’t know when. I’m not finished with it since it just came out, like how it all disgusted me, what all they did to her, what all she had to endure, how many people were involved, the sentence of said people involved, etc. and you’re my favorite true crime TH-camr, even from when you ate in front of the camera, I’ve been following you for years, and my mom has! I’m just gonna say, keep up the good work!!!
This case was actually the second case she ever covered on Rotten Mango. I wonder if this is even more factual now since it’s been a while. But the very first time she covered it there was a lot of gruesome details
@@Ireneisbaeas much as we know how gruesome junko's case is this is not about her case though
@@gintaemin Yes after I started watching I was like wait a minute this doesn’t sound like I remember. And then I re read the title 😭.
Look up the Slivia Likeins case. That one came from our own country. It's just as brutal as these two cases. Slivia was tortured and murdered Gertrude, her children, the neighborhood kids for over a span of 3 months.

If you were like me and were expecting a recap on the Yuna case, I'd recommend watching this video: th-cam.com/video/dE_6PnByKgo/w-d-xo.html
It's far more concise and is also high quality with good narration, but talks about the case that the video is supposed to be about.
If you're interested in the Junko Furuta case, there's plenty of good options, I'd recommend this video : th-cam.com/video/Tp-Y5AP8xJc/w-d-xo.html - it's a little quiet on low volume unlike this video, but the narration is also pretty decent. I'd also recommend looking at the Wikipedia articles as it briefly recaps what occurred during the 44 days she was tortured.
Or if you really want to watch a comparison video, this is the only one I've seen (as annoying as the constant flipflopping between the two cases are) so you could watch this in one or watch two separate videos. Good luck out there, stranger!!
Ty for the timestamps
I love you guys! 🥺❤️ Thank you for being so amazing and authentic! Thank you for always bringing the best of the best content to us. Thank you for your kindness to the victims as well! Please
Keep changing the world!
Aww this is so sweet. Honestly I was struggling to begin the video because both cases are horrible and saddening. Your comment was really heartwarming 🥺💕
I just want to know how the cops and those in the legal system can live with themselves after letting these men get away with such light sentences. This should not be allowed.
yes! especially those who decided not to check the house and not to check cctv records in time. how could they live knowing they could help but decided not to
I've seen a lot of videos talking about Junko's dead body.
She did not deserve that. She was a beautiful young lady, yet she wasn't even allowed peace in death. She had her whole life ahead of her. May she rest in peace, and to think something like this happened again is heartbreaking. This young girl should not have died. She should not have been tourted. But this case makes me think how evil can humans be?
And why do people take pleasure in watching others suffer?
How can children slightly older, sometimes even younger than me, do such evil things?
Im 13, children know, wrong from right, they should suffer the consequences of their actions.
Sweet Yoona, rest in peace
I mean, she could've been ugly and still not deserve it, she seemed to be a good person.
Thats why i say this is humane, not inhumane cuz humans arent good we r sinners, when its inhumane if u wannna see that ask God to keep u on earth til tribulation times then u will see inhumane cuz theres gonna be demons showing the world what inhumane is

I've learned about endless crime cases in my life but the story of Junko has haunted me since middle school
Just doesn’t sit well with me that there’s more comments about Junko’s case over this case. And using Junko’s case a reference (which I understand for SEO and whatnot idk) overshadows this victim’s case tbh. They are both equally horrendous and important to be clearly put out there independently.
She already covered the Junko Case before, and she just the Junko case to show the similarities between the cases. But I do hate to see how everyone is focusing on Junko in the comments, when the video was about Yuno.
It’s because there isn’t enough information about yuna. Her family has chosen to keep her identity private so it’s easy to understand why she did that
it’s because in korea people are so upset that the crimes happened so long after the other but the law hasn’t changed to serve justice even after 26 years
I agree its both fucked
I don't think it's Stephanie's fault that people are letting one case overshadow another. It's genuinely important to compare the two to show how little has changed.
I can't imagine how those girls never felt sorry for another girl who was getting tortured sm. Also, they choose to torture her together?😭😭 For Junko it's only men who did things to her but Yuna....I'm disappointed on those girl tbh. I mean I could never stand a monster torture another human or animal.
Unfortunately, there were also some women involved when it came to torturing Junko.
The two ring leaders of the torture in the Slivia Likeins case in the United States were women, too.
when I saw Junko's name my stomach dropped...Rest In Peace to these poor girls
They not poor just say lovely or sum
Poor doesn’t always mean money poor she means as in like she feels bad for them (I think)
Junko’s story is the most horrific and heartbreaking I’ve ever heard, it’s one of the few stories that make me physically uncomfortable to hear. That poor girl. Yoon’s story was also so horrific, I can’t begin to imagine the trauma and pain. This world has such monsters. May they both rest eternally in peace and the perpetrators rot in hell.
Rest in peace Yoon and Junko honestly I felt like you should have made each one a separate video
Absolutely despicable that the mom of one of the assailants blamed Junko for what happened to her
I don't think any of us will ever be able to understand the fear, and pain these girls went through. it's extremely heartbreaking and foul. Every time I watch these videos I end up wishing I could travel through time and save them, just so they can live normal lives. God bless there souls. I still just can't seem to wrap my head around why our world is so evil and cruel. Yoon did not deserve any of that, and neither did Junko. I hate when people blame the victims. Thank you for always bringing awareness to everyone. I love your channels and all the content y'all make.
The s*men thing is legit the most gruesome and disgusting thing I've ever heard of in my life. I cannot believe these people can simply go on living. Wtf
Well i came back to this still traumatized RIP to both the girls
