From True Crime Enthusiast to Murderer

Unraveling the Disturbing Story of Jung Yoo-Jung

As you have clicked on this article, it is a good guess that you are a true crime fan. But how much of a true crime fan are you? Are you as obsessed with it as Jung Yoo-Jung, a Korean fan who used her knowledge to commit the perfect crime? 

At least, that is what Yoo-Jung thought she had committed the perfect crime and followed in the footsteps of all those cases she had read about. 

However, because we are reading about her now, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to know she was caught and not the criminal mastermind she thought she was. 

True Crime Fan

Yoo-Jung was twenty-three when she was caught. The police who arrested her said she was clearly passionate about true crime. She read all the books on the subject and watched all the television programs. 

She had the idea that she, too, wanted to experience what murder was like. For this, she enrolled on a website that promised to match your child with their ideal tutor and posed as a woman looking for a tutor for her child.
