The episode airing on the 15th is titled 'The Secret of Room 6012 in Hanoi Hotel - Why Did the Pro Gamer Become a Killer?'.
Park Hyun-a, a 33-year-old woman described as a devoted daughter who was close to her parents, left a message for them on May 29 of last year, saying she was urgently traveling to Vietnam the next day. Her parents, believing she was going on a business trip for the trading company she worked for, were shocked when they received devastating news from the South Korean embassy in Vietnam the following evening. Hyun-a was found dead in a hotel room in Hanoi just hours after arriving in the country.
Hyun-a had been severely beaten, and there were signs of strangulation. Preparing for a job change, she had postponed an interview scheduled for May 31 and had not informed her family or friends about the purpose of her trip to Vietnam. Why did she suddenly go to Vietnam, and how did this tragedy occur?
Hotel CCTV footage revealed that at 1:09 PM on May 30, a man was seen entering Room 6012 with Hyun-a. Ten minutes later, the man exited the room alone and later attempted to commit suicide on the hotel rooftop. He was arrested by the police and confessed to killing Hyun-a. Shockingly, he was identified as her boyfriend, a well-known pro gamer known by the nickname 'Yaharlong'.
This individual was once considered a rising star in the world of professional gaming, particularly in the globally popular online game 'League of Legends'. Initially, he claimed he killed his girlfriend because she refused to have sex with him, but later changed his story, admitting that he had killed her in a fit of rage after a fight over his past involvement in prostitution. What transpired in the confined space of Room 6012 in just ten minutes?
It was reported that he had flown to Vietnam a day before Hyun-a. Local investigations revealed that he had made strange requests to hotel staff and had caused a scene by undressing at a crowded lakeside. He was briefly detained by Vietnamese authorities but was later released. What drove him to act out and ultimately commit murder?
'Unanswered Questions' will investigate the truth behind this murder case in Vietnam, airing on Saturday, the 15th, at 11 PM.
