KBS2 'Smoking Gun', which airs on the 11th, deals with the murder of a Cheongdo temple.
On August 28, 2020, around 8 p.m., a 119 report was received that a young man collapsed due to breathing difficulties at a temple in Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Paramedics were dispatched to perform CPR, but Kwon Sang-wan, 36, is already dead. However, Kwon's body, which died, was suspicious in a few ways. There were severe bruises all over the body and the cause of death was 'Fast Shock from Extreme Beatings'! Kwon was severely beaten to death by someone. Why on earth did this young man die.
First, the suspect who was on the investigation list is the governor and his wife. In the recording file, there was a content of the temple governor and his wife swearing violently at Mr. Sangwan. However, the governor said he was irrelevant and submitted 10 copies of his own handwriting that Sangwan wrote himself. "I tried to extort money by threatening Monk Jiu.", "I planned to rape you." There was the same implausible content. A more shocking scene was also found on CCTV secured by the police. Sangwan, who was receiving 2,167 units of hawks made of bamboo. What's more surprising is that it was his mother, not the chief or Bodhisattva, who hit him! And soon, the shocking reality of the crime committed in the name of religion began to emerge.
Ahn Hyun-mo said, "The cult that used the weakest parts of man to cut off all the way to heaven to satisfy his dark desires must disappear."He was angry, and Lee Ji-hye could not hide her tears, saying, "How can a monk do this in the name of religion?"
Meanwhile, Kwon Young-han, the father of the victim Kwon Sang-wan, appeared in the studio to desperately state the truth and feelings of his son's death, and Min Yoon-young, a law professor at Dankook University, and Hong Yu-jin, a statement analyst, appeared to analyze in detail the psychological background in which heinous crimes were possible under the name of religion.
