In the early 1990s, five young boys set out on a forest excursion and never came home. Their sudden disappearance sent shockwaves across South Korea. Their faces became impossible to avoid, plastered everywhere from milk cartons to detergent boxes.
It was a story that no Korean who lived through that era could escape.
In this episode of True Crime, we take you back to March 1991, when five boys mysteriously disappeared at the same time in a small, rural village in South Korea.
