South Korea’s ‘Furiever Coin’ Murder Case: Couple Accused Of Involvement Claim They Lent 40M Won
South Korea has been rocked by news of a high-profile murder case involving individuals in the crypto industry. Mr. and Mrs. Yoo, prominent figures in the industry, have been accused of being behind the kidnapping and murder of a woman in her 40s in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam.
The couple has now claimed that they gave a deposit of 40 million won ($30,000) to Lee Kyung-woo, the main culprit, according to their lawyer who spoke to reporters on the 5th at the Suseo Police Station in Seoul.
The Yoo’s lawyer revealed that the couple had lent Lee Kyung-woo 35 million won in 2021 and had written an IOU for repayment with a period of five years and an interest rate of 2%. However, the IOU was not used for the 5 million won that Mr. Yoo had handed over to Lee Kyung-woo.
The lawyer further stated that Lee had come to the Yoo’s house and near their office, respectively, asking for 60 million won right after the crime on the night of the 29th of last month until the afternoon of the 31st, but the couple refused to lend him the money.
The lawyer’s position is that Lee Kyung-woo had asked the Yoo couple for money, having learned about the coin investment rather than the murder request. The police have secured statements from Dae-Hwan Hwang and Ji-Ho Yeon, who were arrested earlier, saying that “Kyu-Woo Lee said he received 40 million won from the upper line.”
The police are now concentrating their investigation on whether the 40 million won handed over by the Yoo’s to Lee Kyung-woo is not in the nature of a ‘settlement money’ that was handed over in relation to the kidnapping and murder of the victim.
The Yoo couple and victim A were involved in civil and criminal lawsuits due to the failure to invest in the cryptocurrency ‘Furiever Coin’. The couple had invested 3 billion won in the token, even in the ‘private sale’ method, which is open to minority investors in advance, but had not yet received the token. It has also been confirmed that they were preparing for a cryptocurrency platform company in Hong Kong recently after successfully investing in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum while operating a mobile phone sales agency.
The police arrested Yoo on suspicion of instigating robbery and murder, and from 4:10 pm, they seized and searched Yoo’s residence and vehicle to secure related evidence. Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-kyu is accused of leading the crime by pointing out the victim, while Hwang Dae-han and Yeon Ji-ho are charged with abducting and killing the victim themselves.
Mr. Hwang and Mr. Yeon have detailed Lee’s participation in the crime, including receiving 7 million won, including 5 million won as a down payment from Lee Kyung-woo, but Mr. Lee only admits to some facts and denies participating in the crime itself.
Police Disclose Identities of Three Main Suspects in Gangnam Murder Case.
The disclosure of the identities of the suspects has raised questions about privacy, but the Personal Information Disclosure Deliberation Committee has revealed that there is sufficient evidence, such as confessions from some of the suspects and arrest warrants issued for all three. This case has sent shockwaves through South Korea and is sure to have wider implications for the coin industry and virtual currency investments in general.

Crypto Murder: Gangnam Woman Who Kidnapped And Murdered Victim Planned Crime For 3 Months
The shocking news of the kidnapping and murder of a woman in her 40s in the middle of Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea has left the country in a state of shock, according to local newspaper Tokenpost. It has now been revealed that the heinous crime was a pre-planned and well-orchestrated operation that was carefully prepared over several months to target the victim’s cryptocurrency.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and Suseo Police Station have reported that three suspects, including Mr. Lee (35), an employee at a law office, Mr. Hwang (36), an employee at a liquor company, and Mr. Yeon (30), an unemployed individual, had been following the victim for three months. The circumstances surrounding the planned crime were identified in advance, and the suspects are believed to have meticulously planned the kidnapping and murder of the victim to steal her crypto assets.
The victim, who was murdered, was in possession of more than ₩5.00 billion KRW (equivalent to about $3.83 million USD) worth of cryptocurrency, which is believed to be the main reason for her targeting.
On the night of the 29th of last month, the suspects kidnapped and murdered the woman as she was returning home in front of her apartment in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at 11:46 pm. The police investigation has revealed that Mr. Hwang and Mr. Yeon had no face-to-face contact with the victim, and the police are expanding their investigation as they believe there are additional accomplices involved in the crime.
Mr. Lee has refused to answer questions about his relationship with the victim. It is believed that Lee pointed out Mr. A as the target of the crime to Mr. Hwang and Mr. Yeon and provided them with the tools they needed to commit the crime.
According to Mr. Yeon’s statement, the crime was committed with the intention of stealing the victim’s virtual currency. As such, the police are investigating the possibility of a contract killing.
After kidnapping and murdering the victim, the suspects secretly buried her body in a hill near Daecheong Dam in Daejeon around 6:00 am on the 30th of last month, seven hours after the kidnapping. Two days after the crime occurred, the police arrested Yeon and Hwang in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, and Lee was arrested in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Daecheong Dam
The police later conducted a search near Daecheong Dam and discovered the victim’s body at 5:35 pm on the 31st, 41 hours after the incident.
The suspects are due to undergo interrogation before the arrest of the gang suspected of kidnapping and killing the victim. The interrogation will be held on the 3rd and will involve a warrant review for three people, including the 35-year-old aunt suspected of robbery and murder, conducted by Seoul Central District Court Chief Judge Yoo Chang-hoon, who is in charge of warrants.
The police have also announced that they are considering disclosing the identities of the gang members involved in the heinous crime. Baek Nam-ik, head of the Suseo Police Station in Seoul, stated, “After comprehensively investigating the specific motive and background of the crime, and the relationship with the accomplice, we will review whether to disclose it through the Personal Disclosure Committee.”
The incident has sent shockwaves across the country and has once again highlighted the dangers of cryptocurrency, which is often targeted by criminals due to its anonymous and untraceable nature. It is essential to take precautions and ensure the safety of virtual assets to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
