Some Perpetrators 'Anxiously' Worry About Personal Information Being Revealed
As the identities of the perpetrators who gang-raped a middle school girl for a year by 44 high school students in the Miryang area 20 years ago are being exposed, it is reported that some of the offenders are trembling in fear of being revealed. Among them, it was revealed that one of the perpetrators of the 'Miryang gang rape case' is currently working at an imported car dealership, leading the company to dismiss the employee. Additionally, a person believed to be an acquaintance of the perpetrator posted a comment defending the offender, sparking public outrage online.
On the 4th, an online community 'Bobaedream' posted a message titled 'Content that seems to be from Miryang OO’s girlfriend.' In the post, A, presumed to be an acquaintance of the Miryang rapist, wrote, "He was about to get married properly, so why are you messing with him?" When a netizen replied, "Go ask the YouTuber," A responded, "That's irresponsible. Have you ever prepared everything for a wedding and then gone through something like this?" Another netizen pointed out, "It's because the rapist is living well. The victim is still living in pain and will continue to do so," to which A replied, "It was ruled 'no charges,' so does it make sense to expose personal information like this?"

In response, A said, "Although apologies were not made due to the passage of time, he is living well." Netizens have expressed critical reactions to A’s response, presumed to be from an acquaintance of the perpetrator.

The 'Narak Storage' channel continues to upload expos? videos containing the identities of the main perpetrators of the Miryang middle school girl gang rape case. Notably, the first video posted on the channel recorded 1.63 million views within two days. Two subsequent videos also surpassed one million views each, attracting significant attention. The operator of Narak Storage said, "I hope people do not just show temporary interest and then lose it. The victims have been suffering even 20 years after the incident, but if the perpetrators only suffer briefly because I mention and find them again, then I have no justification or reason to run this channel. So I earnestly ask once again: never forget this case and continue to pursue it until the end."
Meanwhile, the Miryang gang rape case involved 44 male students who gang-raped a middle school girl over the course of a year in 2004. The perpetrators filmed the assaults and threatened to distribute the videos if the victim reported them. At the time, the offenders were high school students born between 1986 and 1988. The prosecution indicted some who directly participated in the rape, while the rest were sent to juvenile court or released. The 10 indicted were also sent to juvenile court the following year but only received probation and similar measures. This case sparked nationwide outrage because not a single one of the 44 perpetrators received criminal punishment. The incident inspired the film 'Han Gong-ju' and the drama 'Signal.'
