SBS' 'I Want to Know That' delves into the death of a high school girl.

'I Want to Know That', which will be aired on the 27th, is an episode of 'Murder that breaks ties – a high school girl's final message', highlighting the case of a high school girl who killed her friend who had announced that she would break off ties.

Last July, a call came to the Daejeon 112 Report Center at around 1:20 p.m. A female student who identified herself as a 17-year-old senior in high school asked a variety of questions. She is a mysterious high school girl who suddenly asked what the sentence would be if she killed someone and if the sentence would be reduced if she confessed. When the police, who sensed something strange about the report, asked her for the address, she said the high school girl said it was a prank call and hung up.

The reporter that the police found through location tracking was high school girl Park Se-jin (pseudonym). After much persuasion, she led the police to a family home in an apartment, where a woman was found lying covered in a blanket in a study room. Surprisingly, the deceased, who was already in cardiac arrest and had progressed to rigidity when the paramedics arrived, was a classmate at the same school as Ms. Park. Miss Park went to her classmate's house and strangled her to death.

The name of the deceased victim was high school girl Lee Yeoreum (pseudonym). Ms. Lee, who was popular with her friends for her warm and friendly personality, said she loved drawing and was preparing to enter art school. In broad daylight, while Ms. Lee's family was away, Ms. Park entered the house and committed a bold murder. What on earth happened between these two people?

Ms. Park claimed that Ms. Lee, who was her best friend, unilaterally broke off relations with her, blocked all contact with her, and went to see her to ask why. Ms. Lee opened her door and went inside her house while she was talking to her, and after an argument and physical fight, Ms. Park accidentally killed her. Are her claims really true?

In the first trial, Ms. Park was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a long term and 7 years in a short term, and filed an appeal, claiming that the sentence was excessive. He reportedly submitted a statement of remorse to the court, saying it was an accidental murder, and also sent a letter to the bereaved family.

However, it was revealed that Ms. Park had reset her cell phone before being investigated by the police, and that Ms. Lee's cell phone had been thrown away in an underpass with the SIM chip removed. In addition, traces of Ms. Park's attempt to unlock Ms. Lee's tablet PC password were also detected.

Ms. Park tried to unlock it eight times, but Ms. Lee's tablet PC could not be opened because the password was incorrect. In a situation where even the police could not readily step forward because if there was a mistake twice more, it would never be able to be opened, the password was dramatically unlocked. What was the real relationship in the restored messages between the two people from the first semester of their third year to just before the incident, and is it true that it was an accidental murder following the declaration of breakup?

'I Want to Know', which will track down this sheep's death, will be broadcast at 11:10 pm on Saturday the 27th.
