Elite but Lacks Emotional Control and Empathy”,
,
, ‘A man in his 20s, identified as A (25), who fatally stabbed his peer girlfriend with a weapon on the rooftop of a building near Gangnam Station during daylight, is shocking the public with his background as a prestigious medical school student who received a perfect score on the national college entrance exam and aspired to become an excellent surgeon, saying “I want to become a great surgeon like Dr. Lee Guk-jong.” ‘,
,
, ‘According to the police on the 8th, the Seoul Central District Court will hold a substantial review of the arrest warrant for A, who is accused of murder, on the same day. A is suspected of repeatedly attacking his girlfriend, B, with a weapon on the rooftop of a 15-story building near Gangnam Station in Seocho-gu, Seoul, at around 5 p.m. on the 6th. Based on A’s statement that he committed the crime because his girlfriend wanted to break up with him, the police are focusing on premeditated crime, conducting forensic analysis on A’s mobile phone to investigate in detail the motive and circumstances of the crime. ‘,
,
, ‘A is known to be a graduate of a prestigious university, currently attending a famous private medical school in Seoul. After receiving a perfect score on the college entrance exam, A conducted interviews at the city hall in his residential area and a well-known large-scale private educational institute, and also worked as a ‘senior mentor’ on an online learning platform. Due to such background, A’s affiliation and student ID have been spreading on the internet, along with SNS accounts where they were posted. Posts about A’s reputation and school life are also being shared on private university communities. ‘,
,
, ‘Citizens expressed fear as a daylight murder committed by a medical school student took place in the heart of Gangnam. Kim Kiju (29) said, “It’s shocking that a student who is supposed to save lives committed a murder,” adding, “I felt eerie realizing that dating violence is closer than I thought and something that anyone can commit.” Professor Gong Jeong-sik, a criminal psychology professor at Kyonggi University, analyzed, “If the perpetrator had respect for the victim’s dignity and equality as a human being rather than seeing them as possessions, the murder would not have occurred,” and said, “It seems that a psychological error occurred where the perpetrator excessively obsessed over the victim and took the victim’s breakup notice as a significant loss.” Professor Gong added, “It is analyzed that the perpetrator lacked emotional control and empathy, despite being elite.” ‘,
,
, ‘Prior to the crime, A was found to have purchased a weapon at a large mart in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province around 3 p.m. on the day of the incident. The police responded to a report of a man attempting to jump off the rooftop, discovered B’s body at the scene, and arrested A urgently. The police applied for a warrant for A’s detention the day before. They are also proceeding with an autopsy of the victim, B, on the same day. ‘,
