    The Korean policemen never fail to be disappointing. Having a father buy food to cater to these policemen just so they could search for his daughter - do their job - is aggravating.

      I don’t know if it was a bad decision,..it depends. If he just didn’t want to pay someone for their work, that is always wrong, but there are also extra cash grabs or systems people can want to protest or think should change.
      Like many think there should be no realtors for house sales now that the Internet exists, or that they should be paid by the hours they work, not getting a percent and making more money if they get people into houses quickly or push more expensive houses. Or like Starbucks now asking customers to tip, hoping to use a customer tip system so they don’t have to pay a living wage….I want Starbucks workers to be paid a decent wage, not inconsistent tips because the multi+-billion dollar company is being cheap.

      To be honest from how messed up her mother was from the cheating of her own husband, the calls only sped up a process that I'm almost certain would surface regardless. It'd maybe not be this poor girl that would've been killed but someone other one that'd be unfortunate enough to catch her attention or lingered around the husband of her daughter for a bit too long for her liking. It was said she was paranoid about him cheating even before any of the calls due to the lack of payment begun, it'd probably just take longer to get this bad.

    Hi!
    Please look into the case of Alexandra Macesanu: a Romanian schoolgirl who was kidnapper, raped and murdererd by a taxi driver. It's a very heartbreaking story especially because she managed to call the police when the guy was out but they waited hours in front of the taxi driver's house instead of barging right in.
    Later when the man was arrested it became known she was at least his second victim as he had killed Luiza Melencu too and maybe even others.
    It caused a huge scandal in Romania as it showed the police's corruption and incapability to protect the most vulnerable.

      the story was actually way more complex than it seems. her remains were not found immediately - which was weird as the police came the next day after she called for help. the kidnapper claimed to have burnt the body but it was almost impossible to burn it entirely within such a short timeframe. later a few remains have been uncovered, but it's speculated that Alexandra was actually trafficked and that the local police was collaborating with a trafficking network (they were all acting incredibly suspicious so this theory seems plausible to me, especially taking into account how Romania is among the top European countries for human trafficking). the police might've glossed over the entire story to save an entire nefarious network. in any case, a very heartbreaking case.

    Her Mom sounds like she was jealous that the daughter had found a man who wasn't cheating on her. Maybe the Mom felt comfort that all men cheat so when hers cheated, it didn't feel so bad but when she saw the genuine relationship her daughter had, it made her feel bad about her life, her marriage, her decision to stay in the relationship (which would be so difficult to leave) that she couldn't take it. The only way to resolve that was to prove her own belief right, that all men cheat and the more she was proven wrong, the worse she felt and the more desperate she became.

    The last few minutes made my eyes tear up so much! How utterly heartbreaking for the victim and her family. Sounds like they were such a loving family and the daughter was an amazing law student. Her death was also the death of her loving family. So tragic and senseless. Monsters like Mrs. Moon deserve no sympathy.

As the situation escalated I honestly think the mother in law just wanted tear down a young woman who dwarfed her in every conceivable way. I have met many people like that. People with money and reputations based on lies and privilege.

And it’s disgusting. And my mother-in-law is about to get her son all to herself well sorta. He’s been cheating so she will has competition. Hopefully divorce will be finalized soon. Being with them in their family since I was 18 and I’m 48 now. It’s minding how I allowed this horrible behavior toward me for so long.

My dad was put into a nursing home, with elderly people who were old enough to be his parents. My dad suffered TIA's, small strokes, which took him, he was 65 years old.

It’s like they get victimized twice or more. And the rich do get special treatment and should not. You do the crime you do the time (not a vacation)!

      I am from Latin America and when I read these comments I'm always baffled at the cultural differences around how we see our countries. It's as if people in Korea and in some other Asian countries are conditioned to trust the word of their country as a whole, including authorities. Meanwhile here it's the exact opposite: we are conditioned to trust no one, and to think not only will authorities not help us, they will try to drag us down. We can be proud of our country in the sense that we love it, but no sensible person here would tell a foreigner "yes, us peruvians/paraguayans/argentinians are so honorable". It's more likely that we will tell them to watch their pockets if they ever come here.

    Makes me sick. She basically got away with murder. She murdered an innocent, bright, young woman with her entire bright future in front of her. My mom, has a lot of mental health things she suffers with so much so that she was eventually ruled incompetent to stand trial. Anyways, she was thrown into jail for over 3 months with a plethora of actual physical and mental disabilities for failure to appear, which she failed to appear because she was homeless and had no car to get to the court date. Court was due to her having a fight with my sister outside of a gas station where eye witness said she hit my sister, which my sister herself denied, but the state pressed charges. Anyways, when she finally got bonded out of jail by that same sister, she was down to 88 pounds, completely traumatized and her health has quickly continued to quickly decline since then. She had been on loads of medications for years, they let her withdraw cold turkey, she had no teeth so couldn't probably eat the food she was given, so they let her starve. She was treated terribly and completely disregarded because she was homeless and looked at like an addict, even though anything she did was medicine she was put on by doctors, and only ever took it as prescribed. Just goes to show money can buy you every and any thing.

How heart breaking. And to the horrible mother in law; she was channeling all the hatred and frustration she felt from her husband's cheating into this poor, innocent girl, no matter how much longer she would have waited and how much less and less likely it would become that this girl was dating anyone at all, let alone her own cousin, she would have never let go, because she chose her to be her target. As a woman I absolutely despise women hating on "the other woman" instead of their husbands when those cheat. HE cheated on YOU, there is TWO in this relationship, the THIRD party has nothing to do with the TWO of you. It's simple math, really. HE is at fault, when HE cheats!!!! Now, that is not to excuse a woman willingly and knowingly being with a married man, especially if he has children at home, really, you want to be a home wrecker? You think he's not going to do the eeeeexact same once you get into the role of new wifey? Please!
    I didn't seem to hear in this story at all that she was really putting PI on her son in law, she was doing those stupid sand tricks and what not, but should have had him followed as extensively as her.

    I had thought that the Korean Police had reformed since the 1990s in which corruption was extremely rampant and they were so inept; listening to Stephanie and her amazing stories I guess the Korean police hasn't changed at all; corruption and ineptness is still rampant. For such an advanced country and its fast and amazing story of growth, some things haven't changed; the rich still can do as they want as long as they have the money to pay.

    12:00, the cultural shock I experienced at the mention of bride money omg, in our culture the bride and her family owe the groom nothing however the groom must gift the bride tens and thousands of dollars before marriage to express just how valuable the woman is. So interesting how different cultures view things.

    There was no way in hell the son-in-law was going to tell them to back off. As long as they were chasing his cousin, he was free to go be a man whore. They weren’t going after him or his girlfriend, so he let his cousin take the fall.

As well as he should have talked to Mrs.Moon regardless of if he was cheating or not. His ignorance and lack of action led to his cousins murder and many lives being ruined over it all.

I’ve never been so dedicated to a TH-camr like this before and I’m so happy that I stumbled upon one of her videos back in 2017/18 and I never turned back since, always such a treasure 💗

    Omg, the story about what that hospital does is something out of one of my worst nightmares! I'm surprised they don't take their organs while they're at it! That is one of the most insane horrible things I've ever heard! Side note, here in Florida, my brother was in a prison for a bit and he actually showed me where their meat that was served for them for dinner was marked not fit for human consumption! Wow I can't believe there's actually a place on earth like this, those poor people! Like they don't have it bad enough right???

    I am beyond hooked on your Rotten Mango content. And I am almost certain this has been discussed before, but considering how much you and your team immerse yourselves in these stories, and how passionately you narrate it, I hope you and your team have an outlet to decompress from the serious nature of the content, and have something or someone to help raise your spirits after these videos and projects. Anybody would need that. The content is amazingly informative, so I hope you find the drive to continue sharing such serious topics and stories. But remember to decompress. Wishing you and your loved ones all the health, happiness, and protection. ☺️🙏🏼

    Here is my theory regarding Mrs. Moon's obsession with her son-in-law's alleged affair: her own husband was ruthlessly unfaithful to her. She was powerless to do anything about it so had to endure both the humiliation and the betrayal. However, if her son-in-law was cheating on her daughter, she could unleash onto him all of the pent up rage inside her that she really wanted to direct toward her own husband. She desperately wanted revenge and she was going to get it, regardless at whom it was directed!
