Prosecutor Lee Si-won
Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office
-Are we filming right now?
-Go down that way
-Can we go down?
-No idea
Old lady investigator
-She's the investigator who
Ga-ryeo called her old lady
-A woman whose age is like Ga-ryeo's mom
Choi Hyun-jung
Doctor of Clinical Psychology
-She took good care of Ga-ryeo
after beating
-She cried, hugged, comforted
after beating again
-This often-changing attitude
-is a very confusing
-and serious torture
-It's a very useful torture
-for brainwashing people, and
-she had a lot of experience
-So I think there's bound to be
-confusion in any idea.
-Any sense of anger
-seems unimaginable
-I'm sorry, but who are you filming?
-Oh, excuse me
-Well, you're from NIS, right?
-We're not trying
-to identify you.
-I just wanted to talk to you
-We're just going to quote you later
-He was assaulted at
the confederation center
-Check the outcome of the trial.
-He was violent
-and involved in tampering
-That's the cliams
-Isn't there a lot of discrepancy
with the facts?
-Well, Once..
-judge's decision is made,
-please confirm it
-It's a violation of portrait rights.
-I mean..
-Give me a business card
-Sure will do
-Yeah, let me take it
-Now!
-Yes, here it is
-Ah..
-Give me a business card!
-Ah.. I mean..
-I told you!
-You may tell me
-Let me get a business card!
-Your business card!
-I told you!
-We just cover it
-business card!
-No one is allowed to violate portrait right
-Let me give you the business card.
-Here it is
-Your business card
-Ah...
-What the hell is it?
-Why are you taking pictures
-in the middle of the night in Korea?
-No, we're just covering it
-Prosecutor, what should I do in this case?
-Come here
-Actually, we...
-Oh, us?
-There's no way NIS can check it
-There's no way to check...
-The prosecutor should have verified
-that there was no problem
with the NIS investigation
-But he says he stopped Ga-ryeo
-from telling the truth
-When I told him the truth,
he was surprised and asked for
-We're not supposed to tell
Otherwise, we can't help
-Do not talk like this..
-He said it over and over again
-I talked to the prosecutor
but he said..
-Yes
-"If you do that, I can't help you."
-So..
-He says I've reversed myself
-He hasn't said anything about it yet
-That's exactly what the record says.
-It is well recorded during
the interrogation process.
-So I might not have mentioned it
-The prosecutor gave hope that
-Yoo Ga-ryeo could live with
her brother in Korea
-if he made a good statement

Yoo Woo-sung's first trial (actual recording)
2013. 3. 5.
-If he states all the sins he is guilty of,
-If he states all the sins he is guilty of,
-and tell the truth,
she could live with her brother
Judge: Is it Korea or China
where you can live?
-It's Korea
Lawyer: Did you know that it's a lie
to say that you can live in Korea?
-I have no choice but to
raise an objection to that
-Mr. Prosecutor!
-From the morning...
-Please listen to me
-Prosecutor!
-Yes, first of all...
-You can't say that's a lie
-It's a lie
Prosecutor: Not humane even for the sake of
maintaining the indictment. I honestly wrote it
-I'll try to devise a way to acquire a position
where I can stay to maintain prosecution
-It is very different from the truth that
we have made up lies for
-conciliatory purposes regarding deportation.
I express considerable regret for that
-I came to Korea because I wanted to
live with my brother,
-but I have to leave him in prison
-"Destination Qingdao"
-Bye
-Ga-ryeo, Bye
-Yes
-Yoo Ga-ryeo was eventually deported
-The coverage of Han Jong-soo's case
has rarely progressed
-Han's friend came
-to visit the cemetery
-'Han Jongsoo without relationship'
-'Dec 13th, 2011'
-From the city's point of view,
-cremating the body can also be
-considered a cost.
-Oh.. The body wasn't cremated
-They say the body is buried without it
-Everybody here
-Let's pour him some soju and leave
-Was he a smoker?
-He was a smoking person
-I think NIS tried to hide about Han Jongsoo
-His name isn't Han Jongsoo, is it?
-Right
-It's not his name, is it?
-It could be intentional at the national level
-Understandable
-What does an actual name matter?
-His name is Han Junsik, right?
-No reason for him to use his borrowed name
when he's filling out some paperwork
-Is there any reason for him
to use a different name in Korea?
-No, I don't think so.
-Not only me,
-but all his acquaintances
know him as Junsik.
-Yes,right
-So they don't know him as a "Jongsu"?
-Sure
-What is his birth date?
-birth date?
-I don't know exactly his birthdate
-When I was in China,
I thought he was born in 1974
-born in 1974?
-Yes
-He was born in 1974
-NIS marked his birthday as August 15th
-August 15th...
-August 15, 1976
-They took care of it
-Hey, I'll be back on Chuseok
-I know this place, so I can come back
-Let's have dinner together
-I have a favor to ask of you.
-What do you think of Daelim?
-Sure, I'm fine
-Greaat
-Han Junsik had a daughter who
left her in N.Korea
-He tried to send money and clothes
-to his daughter before leaving China
-Yoo Woo-sung told his friend
who went to and from N.Korea
-that he was leaving for Hunchun.
-And he offered to give his daughter
money and clothes.
-He said he would send money because
he was going to leave with his friend anyway.
-In Hunchun, his friend runs a coal sales,
so he gave him money and clothes.
-When I met his friend,
he told me that behind story
-In conclusion, what you said was that
-he asked his friend in Hunchun
-to deliver clothes and money
-for his daughter.
-What did the investigators
at the Joint Newspaper Center
-try to confirm to you?
-They asked me if there was any possibility
that Han Jun-sik had traveled to N.Korea
-They asked me if there was any possibility
-that he would go into N.Korea
and give them something and receive a mission
-Any possibility?
-They're asking me to imagine
if I could cross over N.Korea
-They doubt if I could go to N.Korea
for goods instead of his friend
-Their suspicions are that he won't ask
his friend for a gift for his daughter
-Otherwise, they suspected that
he might have entered N.Korea himself
-We followed Han's whereabouts
and went to Yanji Road in China
-We met someone who knew Han well
-He told an unexpected story
-I'm cold-hearted
-These two, in particular,
-Junsik and Woosung have been
as close as their own brothers
-since they came from
North Korea together.
-They went all the way to Beijing
to go to America
-and eventually came back
-They went all the way to
Beijing at that time
-They left to enter
the U.S. Embassy in Beijing
-You can jump over a fence to get in
-Did they go all the way
to the embassy in Beijing?
-He drove to the embassy nearby
-I stopped the car in front of the fence
-and came up with a strategy
to block the police when they came
-We headed towards the embassy,
but it was hard to access because of many cops
-You planned it in detail
-Yeah. The plan was to stop and
step on top of the car to jump over
-If there's a problem,
it'll be over in a few days' detention
-The first time I went,
I went against the US
-But failed many times
-If Han was really a spy,
-why would he want to go to
the U.S. instead of Korea?
If you decide, you can do it!
-It was very dangerous to
cross the border and go back to North Korea
-and go back to North Korea
-He said there was a woman
that Mr. Han used to be close to
-She may know if Han has been to
-North Korea
-We were looking for her
-But to summarize stories,
-Yes
-It's been a year and a half
-since the woman who
-ran the business with the boss quit.
-Do you know anyone who worked
a year and a half ago?
-I don't know
-Can you reach them?
-No
-Ah you're not involved anything
-Right
-'Nothing possible'..
-If you say you don't know..
-Anyway
-There's no chance
-I feel empty, huh?
-Pardon?
-Very empty..

-and I thought there was no way
I could survive
-I bit my tongue thinking,
-"I should end my life"
-I thought I'd get cut off
if I bit my tongue.
- But the tongue was really thick.
-I kept bleeding
-The stronger the force of
biting my tongue, the harder it felt
-So it just left me in pain,
-and I think I made an involuntary
-"UGH" sound
-People around me ran to me
-because of this weird sound.
-From outside
-I ended up failing to commit suicide
- and being exhausted
-So I didn't have the energy
-to resist and I became
completely desperate.

-"If I trust them,
-they will let me out of here."
-I asked them to promise me to
get out of here
-because I would obey any word.
-I was forced to confess that
I had been to North Korea.

-You issued a statement in person
-in Osaka on November 22, 1975
-It was an announcement about
-an academy infiltration spy group

-It was November 22, 1975
-You were head of the anti-aircraft
investigation at the time

about the incident?
-No
-There are also female victims who
-were raped by

-the date when the suspected spy
left for North Korea.
"Kim Ki-chun"
-Why did Director Kim Ki-choon instruct
-to hide the most important evidence?
-My brother took me to
-the department store
-to buy me a watch.
-But on the day I bought it,
-It is recorded that
I was staying in North Korea
-Don't you have a warranty
on the watch you buy?
-The date on the guarantee proves
-the truth about my alibi
-At the time, Tokyo Lawyers Association
announced that case had been fabricated
-after investigating the espionage
cases of Koreans living in Japan
-The lawyer's association also
announced Lee Chul's case,
-The lawyer's association also
announced Lee Chul's case,
- and the Korean Embassy in Japan
reported it
-It's highly likely that
the CIA manipulated it
-In this situation, Kim Ki-choon
-sends a handwritten memo to
-Director of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Aju
-Please take security measures considering
that the date of entry into North Korea
-Please take security measures considering
that the date of entry into North Korea
-the date of entry into North Korea
-is used as an alibi manipulation data
-I'm telling you not to reveal it
-This is.. at that time..
-Yes
-Kim Ki-choon, director of the
CIA's anti-aircraft investigation,
-It's supposed to be a memo from
him to Aju
-I think it's a request not to expose
-information such as the date of entry
-because it can be used to
-manipulate the alibi.
-In fact, it seems to be the same as
-indirectly admitting that
-they have been involved
-in a fabricated crime.
-Isn't it obvious clue?
-Please take a look at this
-Isn't it the handwriting that
-you wrote back then?
-Isn't it?
-I don't remember
-Right?
-I don't remember
-I'm sorry
-I'm sorry to bother you
-In fact, it's a public thing
for many people,
-and this is not a pre-planned interview.
-I can't respond to
-your sudden request.
-anymore
-Aren't you a lawyer?
-Through a retrial,
-many people were found not
- guilty of espionage
-I never manipulated it as a spy.
Stop it
-So you still think they're spies?
-It has nothing to do with me
because it's done by the judiciary.
-You were in charge of the
-investigation at the time
-I've never investigated it.
Stop it
-Have a safe trip
-Thanks
-You're being asked this question
-because you've played such an
important role in history
-And you have a duty
-to answer questions
-I have nothing more to say
-Yes, sir
-Forty years later, they haven't changed
-Did you bring the document with
-the seal of the Yeongil City
Public Security Bureau?
-Producer Choi will know
when his opinion is stated
-because it is the final decision
-at today's trial.
-By the way,
-Yes
-Why didn't you independently
verify this case
-when we raised it as a hoax?
-Listen carefully when
-making a statement at the trial
- at the trial
-You submitted forged evidence
-and claimed that the accused
was a spy.
-Didn't you feel sorry?

-Sure..
-Please do that
-Sure.. but
-Don't you ever feel sorry?

-They threatened to beat me to death
if I refused to interfere.

hospital for decades
-Koreans did everything
they could to help
-It was Park Chunghee who did
-He started speaking in Korean,

-That's Park Chung-hee's politics
-This is the politics of
the Blue House and the CIA
-This is...
-They do everything they can
-Only if achieving their goals
-I'm sure you can't talk about
those days
-You haven't told me
what happened in prison
-or in the process of
being interrogated
-Do you remember a lot of harsh memories
-in your life in Korea?
-No
-Because I want to forget
-I really want to forget
-Those dark years,
-I want to forget
-the hell of darkness
-Because I'm dying of heartache
is killing me

-Sad
-Why.....
-Sad
-Sad?
-Yes
-So sad
-I want to tell you how bad Korea is
-You know?
-After friend's persuading,
-Kim Seunghyo decided to
apply for a retrial
-You're going to do retrial
-After that
-What if a request comes from Korea?
-'You may come to the court in Korea'
-'You may come forward and testify'
-'You may come to Korea'
-Will you do every request?
-No?
-Sure?
-Hmm
-Don't you want to go to Korea now?
-Hmm
-I guess so
-Do you feel uncomfortable going to Korea?
-Right
-But I have to say something about
what they did wrong
-You can't just sit back and see
what they've done
-They ruined not only Seunghyo
-but other people's lives
-See you again
-Take care, Seunghyo.
Let's fight hard together
-Do you mind if I come back?
-No, I don't mind
-Who am I?
-Youngsoo
-I'm glad. You know that
-Yeah, let's shake hands
-Shave your mustache
-Yes
-Really?
-My daughter said she didn't like it,
so I shaved it like this
-Okay, bye
-I think there are at least
-20,000 spies in Korea
-What is the Minister's view?
-You greatly sympathizes
with his concerns,
-and we will do our best to ensure
more investigative capabilities
-so that there is no negligence
in national security

Choi Hyun-jung
Doctor of Clinical Psychology
-She took good care of Ga-ryeo
after beating

after beating again
-This often-changing attitude
-is a very confusing
-and serious torture
-It's a very useful torture

-confusion in any idea.
-Any sense of anger
-seems unimaginable
-I'm sorry, but who are you filming?

-Prosecutor, what should I do in this case?
-Come here
-Actually, we...
-Oh, us?
-There's no way NIS can check it
-There's no way to check...
-The prosecutor should have verified
-that there was no problem
with the NIS investigation
-But he says he stopped Ga-ryeo
-from telling the truth
-When I told him the truth,
he was surprised and asked for
-We're not supposed to tell
Otherwise, we can't help
-Do not talk like this..
-He said it over and over again
-I talked to the prosecutor
but he said..
-Yes
-"If you do that, I can't help you."
-So..
-He says I've reversed myself
-He hasn't said anything about it yet
-That's exactly what the record says.
-It is well recorded during
the interrogation process.
-So I might not have mentioned it
-The prosecutor gave hope that

2013. 3. 5.
-If he states all the sins he is guilty of,
-If he states all the sins he is guilty of,
-and tell the truth,
she could live with her brother
Judge: Is it Korea or China
where you can live?
-It's Korea
Lawyer: Did you know that it's a lie
to say that you can live in Korea?
-I have no choice but to
raise an objection to that
-Mr. Prosecutor!
-From the morning...
-Please listen to me
-Prosecutor!
-Yes, first of all...
-You can't say that's a lie
-It's a lie
Prosecutor: Not humane even for the sake of
maintaining the indictment. I honestly wrote it
-I'll try to devise a way to acquire a position
where I can stay to maintain prosecution
-It is very different from the truth that
we have made up lies for
-conciliatory purposes regarding deportation.
I express considerable regret for that
-I came to Korea because I wanted to
live with my brother,
-but I have to leave him in prison
-"Destination Qingdao"
-Bye
-Ga-ryeo, Bye
-Yes
-Yoo Ga-ryeo was eventually deported

has rarely progressed
-Han's friend came
-to visit the cemetery
-'Han Jongsoo without relationship'
-'Dec 13th, 2011'
-From the city's point of view,
-cremating the body can also be
-considered a cost.
-Oh.. The body wasn't cremated
-They say the body is buried without it
-Everybody here
-Let's pour him some soju and leave
-Was he a smoker?
-He was a smoking person
-I think NIS tried to hide about Han Jongsoo
-His name isn't Han Jongsoo, is it?
-Right
-It's not his name, is it?
-It could be intentional at the national level
-Understandable
-What does an actual name matter?
-His name is Han Junsik, right?
-No reason for him to use his borrowed name
when he's filling out some paperwork
-Is there any reason for him
to use a different name in Korea?
-No, I don't think so.
-Not only me,
-but all his acquaintances
know him as Junsik.
-Yes,right
-So they don't know him as a "Jongsu"?
-Sure
-What is his birth date?
-birth date?
-I don't know exactly his birthdate
-When I was in China,
I thought he was born in 1974
-born in 1974?
-Yes
-He was born in 1974
-NIS marked his birthday as August 15th
-August 15th...
-August 15, 1976
-They took care of it
-Hey, I'll be back on Chuseok
-I know this place, so I can come back
-Let's have dinner together
-I have a favor to ask of you.
-What do you think of Daelim?
-Sure, I'm fine
-Greaat
-Han Junsik had a daughter who
left her in N.Korea
-He tried to send money and clothes
-to his daughter before leaving China
-Yoo Woo-sung told his friend
who went to and from N.Korea
-that he was leaving for Hunchun.
-And he offered to give his daughter
money and clothes.
-He said he would send money because
he was going to leave with his friend anyway.
-In Hunchun, his friend runs a coal sales,
so he gave him money and clothes.
-When I met his friend,
he told me that behind story
-In conclusion, what you said was that
-he asked his friend in Hunchun
-to deliver clothes and money
-for his daughter.
-What did the investigators
at the Joint Newspaper Center
-try to confirm to you?
-They asked me if there was any possibility
that Han Jun-sik had traveled to N.Korea
-They asked me if there was any possibility
-that he would go into N.Korea
and give them something and receive a mission
-Any possibility?
-They're asking me to imagine
if I could cross over N.Korea
-They doubt if I could go to N.Korea
for goods instead of his friend
-Their suspicions are that he won't ask
his friend for a gift for his daughter
-Otherwise, they suspected that
he might have entered N.Korea himself
-We followed Han's whereabouts
and went to Yanji Road in China
-We met someone who knew Han well
-He told an unexpected story
-I'm cold-hearted
-These two, in particular,
-Junsik and Woosung have been
as close as their own brothers
-since they came from
North Korea together.
-They went all the way to Beijing
to go to America
-and eventually came back
-They went all the way to
Beijing at that time
-They left to enter
the U.S. Embassy in Beijing
-You can jump over a fence to get in
-Did they go all the way
to the embassy in Beijing?
-He drove to the embassy nearby
-I stopped the car in front of the fence
-and came up with a strategy
to block the police when they came
-We headed towards the embassy,
but it was hard to access because of many cops
-You planned it in detail
-Yeah. The plan was to stop and
step on top of the car to jump over
-If there's a problem,
it'll be over in a few days' detention
-The first time I went,
I went against the US
-But failed many times
-If Han was really a spy,
-why would he want to go to
the U.S. instead of Korea?
If you decide, you can do it!
-It was very dangerous to
cross the border and go back to North Korea
-and go back to North Korea
-He said there was a woman
that Mr. Han used to be close to
-She may know if Han has been to
-North Korea
-We were looking for her
-But to summarize stories,
-Yes
-It's been a year and a half
-since the woman who
-ran the business with the boss quit.
-Do you know anyone who worked
a year and a half ago?
-I don't know
-Can you reach them?
-No
-Ah you're not involved anything
-Right
-'Nothing possible'..
-If you say you don't know..
-Anyway
-There's no chance
-I feel empty, huh?
-Pardon?
-Very empty..

so don't do that."
-I was framed as a spy,
-and I thought there was no way
I could survive
-I bit my tongue thinking,
-"I should end my life"
-I thought I'd get cut off
if I bit my tongue.
- But the tongue was really thick.
-I kept bleeding
-The stronger the force of
biting my tongue, the harder it felt
-So it just left me in pain,
-and I think I made an involuntary
-"UGH" sound
-People around me ran to me
-because of this weird sound.
-From outside
-I ended up failing to commit suicide
- and being exhausted
-So I didn't have the energy
-to resist and I became
completely desperate.
-Anyway, what I thought amid it,
-"If I trust them,
-they will let me out of here."
-I asked them to promise me to
get out of here
-because I would obey any word.
-I was forced to confess that
I had been to North Korea.
-And then when the staff asked me
to write that down,
-I asked, "What do I write?"
-They gave me a guide to
making statements,
-and the perfect scenario that

-Yes
-How are you?
-I'm good
-I'm here to report
-from Newstapa.
-We're also on the business trip in Japan,
-so we came here
- to say hello to you
-and discuss some issues
-We're going to Japan right now.
-You issued a statement in person
-in Osaka on November 22, 1975
-It was an announcement about
-an academy infiltration spy group
-When?
-It was November 22, 1975
-You were head of the anti-aircraft
investigation at the time
-This case was 40 years ago
-in academy infiltration spy group
-The victims gathered in 40 years
and held an event.
-Don't film it
-So we went to cover it

-Stop it
- because you happened to be
here on the way
-Do you remember anything
about the incident?
-No
-There are also female victims who
-were raped by
-members of the CIA at the time.
-I don't think that's what happened
-The trial found them all innocent
-I don't know
-This is a document that
-he wrote when he was head of
the anti-aircraft investigation.
-I'd like to inquire about this
-The memo says not to expose
-the date when the suspected spy
left for North Korea.
"Kim Ki-chun"
-Why did Director Kim Ki-choon instruct
-to hide the most important evidence?
-My brother took me to
-the department store
-to buy me a watch.
-But on the day I bought it,
-It is recorded that
I was staying in North Korea
-Don't you have a warranty
on the watch you buy?
-The date on the guarantee proves
-the truth about my alibi
-At the time, Tokyo Lawyers Association
announced that case had been fabricated
-after investigating the espionage
cases of Koreans living in Japan
-The lawyer's association also
announced Lee Chul's case,
-The lawyer's association also
announced Lee Chul's case,
- and the Korean Embassy in Japan
reported it
-It's highly likely that
the CIA manipulated it
-In this situation, Kim Ki-choon
-sends a handwritten memo to
-Director of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Aju
-Please take security measures considering
that the date of entry into North Korea
-Please take security measures considering
that the date of entry into North Korea
-the date of entry into North Korea
-is used as an alibi manipulation data
-I'm telling you not to reveal it
-This is.. at that time..
-Yes
-Kim Ki-choon, director of the
CIA's anti-aircraft investigation,
-It's supposed to be a memo from
him to Aju
-I think it's a request not to expose
-information such as the date of entry
-because it can be used to
-manipulate the alibi.
-In fact, it seems to be the same as
-indirectly admitting that
-they have been involved
-in a fabricated crime.
-Isn't it obvious clue?
-Please take a look at this
-Isn't it the handwriting that
-you wrote back then?
-Isn't it?
-I don't remember
-Right?
-I don't remember
-I'm sorry
-I'm sorry to bother you
-In fact, it's a public thing
for many people,
-and this is not a pre-planned interview.
-I can't respond to
-your sudden request.
-anymore
-Aren't you a lawyer?
-Through a retrial,
-many people were found not
- guilty of espionage
-I never manipulated it as a spy.
Stop it
-So you still think they're spies?
-It has nothing to do with me
because it's done by the judiciary.
-You were in charge of the
-investigation at the time
-I've never investigated it.
Stop it
-Have a safe trip
-Thanks
-You're being asked this question
-because you've played such an
important role in history
-And you have a duty
-to answer questions
-I have nothing more to say
-Yes, sir
-Forty years later, they haven't changed
-Did you bring the document with
-the seal of the Yeongil City
Public Security Bureau?
-Producer Choi will know
when his opinion is stated
-because it is the final decision
-at today's trial.
-By the way,
-Yes
-Why didn't you independently
verify this case
-when we raised it as a hoax?
-Listen carefully when
-making a statement at the trial
- at the trial
-You submitted forged evidence
-and claimed that the accused
was a spy.
-Didn't you feel sorry?
-Listen carefully at the trial
-I mean..
-See you at the trial
-How do you feel about the defendant?
-Like I said,
-Listen carefully at the trial
-I want you to judge it calmly
-Sure..
-Please do that
-Sure.. but
-Don't you ever feel sorry?
-See me at trial
-I recommend you to listen to
my opinion coldly
-Far from apologizing, the prosecution
kept bothering Yoo Woo-sung
-Put your bag down
-Now, move back a little bit
-They brought up a question that's
already been suspended
-In the end, those involved in
Yu Woo-sung spy manipulation case
-were punished lightly
