Resurfacing Trauma: The Impact of Silence and Society on Sexual Assault Survivors

On June 1, 2024, A Korean YouTube channel uploaded a video titled - “Pack Ki Beom, did you think that I wouldn’t find you?”

The video includes details about Pack’s personal life. Showing his comfortable luxurious lifestyle with his wife and young daughter. It would appear that overnight Korean netizens flock to Pack’s page leaving hate comments.

“I hope your daughter gets taken away from you.”

“I hope the same thing happens to your daughter - then what will you do?”

It seemed overnight all of Korea would turn on a random civilian named Pack Ki Beom.

20 years ago Pack was the ringleader of the Miryang 44 case. Where 44 high school students blackmailed, tortured, and SA’d a middle school girl for over a year straight.

All 44 perpetrators were not punished. Without even a mark on their criminal records. They were free to live as anonymous free men in the world.

Until June 1st.

This would be the start of a string of vigilante justice YouTubers releasing the identities and doxxing the perpetrators involved. One by one.

Leaving everyone in South Korea to wonder - do I know one?
