Episode 10:
"No Seatbelt, Right?" Ejected from Speeding Convertible: BF's Calculated Kill?

In November 2019, a couple traveled to Jeju Island to celebrate their 300th day together. Late at night, after drinking alcohol, they got into a rented Mustang convertible and began driving along the island's coastal roads.

Just minutes later, the car crashed at high speed. The driver survived with minor injuries. His girlfriend was thrown from the vehicle and never regained consciousness. She died nine months later.

A Relationship Falling Apart

On the surface, the trip was meant to celebrate their relationship. In reality, the couple had spent months trapped in a cycle of breakups and reconciliations.

According to investigators, the boyfriend had repeatedly tried to end the relationship, while his girlfriend continued hoping for a future together. Even during the trip itself, he reportedly brought up breaking up once again.

The Final Recording

The case took an unexpected turn when investigators discovered an audio recording captured shortly before the crash.

In the recording, a seatbelt warning alarm can be heard. The boyfriend then says: "You're not wearing your seatbelt."

Moments later, the vehicle rapidly accelerated well beyond the speed limit. Soon afterward, the Mustang crashed.

For some, the recording sounded like a warning. For others, it sounded like something much darker.

Suspicious

Investigators focused on several troubling facts. The driver was heavily intoxicated. The convertible roof was open. The passenger was not wearing a seatbelt.

And despite knowing all of this, the vehicle accelerated to more than twice the posted speed limit shortly before the collision.

The prosecution eventually argued that the crash was intentional. The defense insisted it was nothing more than a tragic drunk-driving accident.

Final Thoughts

The courts ultimately rejected the murder charge. But the controversy never disappeared.

To some people, this was a reckless accident caused by alcohol, speed, and poor judgment. To others, the final recording raises questions that still have not gone away.
