Episode 42:
The Shocking Case of Korean YouTuber’s Abduction and Murder Plot Involving Supercar Dealer

At around 11 p.m. on October 26, 2025, police received a frightening call from a man inside a luxury apartment complex in Songdo, Incheon. He gave almost no details.

All he said was that officers needed to come immediately. When police arrived, the caller was gone, but bloodstains and a black mask were left behind in the underground parking lot.

A Kidnapping Caught On Camera

Security footage showed a white car entering the parking lot shortly before the call. A man in a black cardigan stepped out and met the victim as if they had planned to meet there.

Suddenly, another man jumped out from the back seat and attacked. The victim was tackled to the ground, beaten with a baseball bat, and dragged toward the car while still trying to escape.

By 10:45 p.m., the white car calmly left the parking lot. Police immediately treated the incident as a kidnapping and began tracking the vehicle through road surveillance cameras.

The Cemetery In The Mountains

About three hours later, the victim's phone suddenly turned back on. The signal led police to Geumsan, far from the city, near a dark cemetery built into a mountainside.

At around 2:30 a.m., officers found the white car and arrested two men inside. In the vehicle were rope, bloodstained gloves, and the baseball bat seen in the CCTV footage.

The victim was in the back seat with his face covered in blood, his hands bound with cable ties, and severe injuries to his head and face.

Even while barely conscious, he begged paramedics to protect his family because he believed the attackers knew where they lived.

The Supercar Deal

The victim was Go Jin Ho, better known online as SuTak, a Korean horror-game YouTuber with more than one million subscribers. For years, he had kept his face and private life hidden from the public.

The main suspect, Kim Man Su, had approached him as a used supercar dealer who claimed he could help him obtain rare luxury vehicles.

At first, the deal appeared legitimate. But when Go later tried to trade into another supercar, Kim took his existing car, collected large payments, and then began avoiding him.

Go eventually demanded the return of roughly $216,000. After he threatened legal action and public exposure, Kim claimed the cash was finally ready and offered to visit Go at his apartment.

Suspicious

The meeting location was suddenly changed from the apartment entrance to the underground parking lot. Kim said the bag of cash was inside the car, but Go noticed it looked too small to hold the promised money.

He also saw a suspicious man sitting in the back seat. Sensing danger, Go quickly called police. That call may have saved his life.

Investigators later found that the attack had been planned with gloves, rope, duct tape, and a vehicle registered under another person's name.

Prosecutors also said the suspects had not merely planned to kidnap him. They believed the intended crime was robbery-murder, followed by an escape plan.

Final Thoughts

What began as a luxury car dispute became a violent ambush against a YouTuber who had spent years protecting his identity.

Kim Man Su allegedly targeted Go because he owed him money and feared being exposed. The accomplices were drawn in by promises of payment, debt relief, and a distorted story that painted Go as the villain.

Go survived, but the physical and psychological damage did not end that night. The case remains disturbing because it shows how greed, envy, and desperation can turn a business dispute into a carefully prepared attack.
