I lived and worked in South Korea for years. An AMAZING country with stunning countryside, delectable food, and vibrant cities that somehow manage to incorporate natural beauty into their design. Unfortunately, while Korea's healthcare system is second to none, mental health still carries a major stigma (though this is thankfully changing). Many parents are reluctant to acknowledge their children's struggles for fear it may reflect negatively on their parenting. As a result, children tend not to get the care they need. I wonder if this contributed to Jeong Sang-Jin slipping through the cracks.

[@AllLifeIsTravesty]

Oh my God, it was a little surreal hearing him comment on _A Bittersweet Life._ That is an incredible film and has the exact _opposite_ theme as Sang-jin's motivation. The entire film is about the ugliness, emptiness, isolation, and ultimate pointlessness of that kind of vengeance and violence fueled existence, and yet he saw that and went, _"Yeah, that's what I wanna be"?_ I can only theorize (not being a mental health professional or knowing the man) that he already felt so alone and hollow that he related to the main character on that level and saw the violence the character committed as some kind of relief, no matter how fleeting and harmful it ended up being to them. Sort of how when some s*icide victims become euphoric when they decide to end it, because the idea of finally being "free" is so soothing to them in that moment, because they're so lost in their pain they can't imagine any healing or hope in the future and can't think of how it will hurt those around them. But yeah, media is often blamed for unwell peoples' actions despite the fact that the person's disturbed state inherently means they aren't seeing things clearly or correctly, therefore the product is not to blame since they can and do interpret and twist anything no matter how harmless into a manifestation of their own issues.

I love that you cover stories globally and help us learn about the places and cultures too! ☕ There's a very interesting case from my country, Indonesia, about an ex-Indonesian Police General called Ferdy Sambo, whose trial just reached a conclusion. I always thought of suggesting his case to you. :-) Looking forward to your next video (and seeing more of Nero, too)!

I've been living with dysthymia for decades now. It's called PDD (Persistent Depressive Disorder) these days, and it can be awful. It's not as intense as other depressive disorders, but it's permanent. Basically it means you'll never be happy. You're not able. And there's no cure.

[@jellada]

i haven’t finished the video but i am loving it so far!!!!! i really like the way u describe the location in which the case takes place. just wanted to mention that the place of residence sangjin lived in is pronounced as go-shi-won. love all ur videos and sorry to make criticism to otherwise perfect content😊

[@nic_coco_tine]

I always get so happy when I get the notification at work that you uploaded a new video! Listening in and hearing all the research you do is incredible.

[@bubwal23xifan]

Nero needs his own Twitter account and Instagram account. I'd follow in a minute.

[@marycorzette6562]

Thank you Adrian! You do a ton of research on these cases. And it's much appreciated. Now as far as this particular case...very confusing😕

[@jocortez3816]

All the cases you cover are interesting, but I always find the ones that touch on systemic issues of a society or niche communities especially thought provoking.

[@G.Lollie]

thank you. I am from USA and love all the international stories you can find very old and even new. I even like ones from USA heard most of them but always love when you cover them. You provide great insight and content no matter what you are covering. Thank you.

[@ma.corazonmalavega3231]

Hi Adrian, can you also cover the on going case here in Hong Kong of a Chinese socialite Abby Choi? She's been found dismembered by her ex-husband and his family early this week. It is gruesome and the police are still looking for her body parts. Thank you, hope you will notice my comment.

[@Jarhead986]

Love these videos, i am glad he caught on and realised most don't care about unsolved stories

[@trinitywood4100]

Adrian! It was really interesting to hear about a case from the country I'm living in, thank you for taking the time to research about it! If you ever want to do more cases from Korea, I'd be happy to help you find materials and translate :^D have a great day~^^

[@monikastroomer7655]

Thank you Adrian. I like these cases that no one else has.

Can you make a playlist of solved crimes and mysteries?

Your videos help me get through work and have been since you started!! Thank you for helping me get through my days when having to deal with stupid coworkers 😊

[@johnnyt1817]

Coffeehouse Crime is one of my favorite shows. The storytelling is captivating!

[@otterlyfresh2886]

The truth is the homeless problem is solved in South Korea by dumping people in shanty towns like Guryong Village, where people live in uninsulated shacks and make shift buildings created from shipping containers. So they are not technically considered homeless. Many young people dump their elderly parents here because the cost of living is too high. The Korean government is great at sweeping these issues under the rug, and pretending it has solved problems. Your impression of Seoul is really too optimistic. Housing has become unaffordable for the average person.

[@tyrikuntamed4206]

Coffehouse Crime really is the best crime channel on youtube. As soon as I see a new video, I tune in as fast as I can.

[@kismetcapitan]

I lived in Gangnam when this happened. Rage against the wealthy in this case is a bit of a red herring to be honest. Borderline personality disorder in males tends to manifest in very violent crimes and this is something that really needs to be looked at.

[@oldishandwoke-ish1181]

That's a really interesting point.

[@cdes1776]

Those with BPD tend to turn their anger, frustration and hate inward rather than against others. All people with mental illness are not killers, not all killers have mental illness. I tend to think that schizophrenia, psychopathy and addiction would have higher instances of outward violence and delusion.

[@lobstersonskateboards3988]

@@cdes1776 As someone who has BPD, it's somewhat true- self destruction is very common, but it's not to say that those with BPD don't have violent tendencies due to impulsive behavior. Especially when it becomes unchecked after a very long period of time, some people can't manage to find a way to regulate their emotions and they end up taking it out on others in a very sad way. There's also the fact that Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (which is what I suspect the man also had, vulnerable narcissism specifically) end up combining frequently, usually as a comorbidity of the other, which can provoke more violent behavior depending on the symptoms and how they manage themselves.

I, personally, really enjoy international cases. Thank you for yet another great video👍👍

[@gigilarigi3132]

Hi Adrian. Thank you so much for doing these “deep dives” for us. Every case you do is one I haven’t heard about or know very little about, so thank you for all you do. Take care of you! Grab a decaf, pet your cat, and decompress. See you on Monday!😊

[@laurinwilhelm3116]

Hi Adrian, this story was so good! Every time I watch one of your stories, I learn something new, about that country or state, it's beliefs & culture, and most of all the people who live in this area before you get to the story. I love that your branching out and trying new things & it works every time!! You still put the same love & care into each story you do, you make sure that the victim/victims stories are told with respect, & that is what has me coming back each time to watch the next story you have for us!! Keep up the great work, you are meant to do this! I raise my cup of coffee to you sir!! ☕🤗

His terrible headaches were probably one of the symptoms of severe anxiety disorder.... I've had awful headaches almost everyday and had to take high dose of painkillers which barely worked and i wasn't able to sleep for nights. i can't imagine how crazy he must have felt for not knowing the cause of that pain and discomfort.

[@tarantulady]

Terrible headaches are a common symptom of a metric fuckton of problems and diseases.

[@chillnagasden6190]

Oh...well that's news to me. I have frequent headaches *and* suffer from generalized anxiety , so that's. Uhhhh, thanks O_O. Also, sorry you've got that..

[@golfmaniac007]

his home may have carbon dioxide emitting somewhere.....thats the first thing i would try testing. not drinking enough water can cause headaches.

[@yellowyuzu1311]

I know you're not joking, but you say he had SAD?

[@starrynight2206]

​@@yellowyuzu1311 i didn't say he had anxiety, i meant to say that could've probably been the cause and the other replies under this comment might be a reason too.

[@Flokiwa3]

Quality as always Adrian, love your channel.

[@emilychittenden6549]

My sister turned me onto Coffeehouse Crime and this is hands down my favorite channel. The stories just draw you right in. Getting notifications is so exciting. Keep up the amazing work, Adrian! ✌️

[@melissamartin4285]

You're a gifted narrator. I could probably listen to you talk about anything. I think you'd be great for paranormal cases and mysteries as well.

Adrian, thank you for always being respectful to the victims and paying tribute to them at the end of your episodes. Also, I really loved they way you beautifully introduced Seoul to your viewers. I'll be heading there this August.

Loved where you held your cat at the end - just beautiful 😻
