It aroused viewers’ ‘anger and sadness’!

The 159th episode of 'Kkokkomu', which aired on the 16th, was 'The Nameless Technician', and the story of the cruelty of 'torture technician' Lee Geun-an in the 1970s and 1980s and the stories of ordinary Korean people who suffered because of it was revealed.

He was a wanted fugitive who had been on the run for four times as long as Shin Chang-won, and the total number of police officers deployed during his escape was 3.89 million. His bag contained shoes, a hairbrush, a toothbrush, and a razor, and he was a 'torturer' called a 'nameless technician'.

It was Lee Geun-an, the ‘technician.’

Lee Geun-an arrested not only these people, but also college students and political opposition figures on false charges of being spies, and tortured them 'so cruelly that they hurt to the point of death, but not to the point of death,' to the point that even fellow police officers held out their tongues.

Lee Geun-an called them spies and revealed their inhumanity by torturing even their families to get false confessions.

At the time, the victims were falsely accused of being spies overnight, but Geun-an Lee was promoted to the point where he was promoted from sergeant to lieutenant.

He was scouted to the anti-communist branch office in Namyeong-dong, headed by Park Cheo-won, the last successor to No Deok-sul, a pro-Japanese police officer called the 'godfather of anti-communist investigation' and the 'torture king' during the Japanese colonial era, and gained notoriety by torturing even pro-democracy activists.

However, after Kim Geun-tae, the first chairman of the Youth Federation for the Democracy Movement, was tortured in Namyeong-dong in 1985, the existence of the 'nameless technician' began to become known, and eventually Lee Geun-an's address was found and his appearance was revealed to the world.

Choi Bong-jun's father, who had been falsely accused, was executed without even saying a final goodbye to his family, and Kim Seong-hak, the only one acquitted at the time, had no choice but to cut off contact with his family for fear of being implicated.

Accordingly, in various communities and social media, "Today's Kkokkomu Lee Geun-an... I'm already angry", "I watched Kkokkomu without thinking about it, but I'm watching it with determination", "Today's Kkokkomu is a legend~ Torture technician Lee Geun-an is alive", "Oh!

Hot reactions such as "Lee Geun-an, it's really scary that it's still in progress" continued.
