More bodies are being found every week now from what some are calling the worst serial killer the city has had in years. The bodies of three young women in their 20’s were found today cut and stabbed multiple times earlier this night in an abandoned warehouse near a college campus.
The bodies of Ji woon-ho, Sa Seong-sun and another whose parents wish to keep her anonymous were found with deep slashes, words and the caricature of an eye all over their bodies. These are not the first bodies to be found this way and many fear they won't be the last.
Police are keeping details sparse about what evidence was found at the crime scene but eyewitness reports from the group of students who found the bodies say it was a bloodbath. Like the previous murders the victims were connected in a single way: they were fans of the up and coming K-pop rap sensation Ryu Joon-Ho or Ryuju as he goes by. CD's and posters of Ryuju were found at the scene covered in blood. The same eye caricature drawn in blood on the posters with the words “watch” under it were also found taped to the walls and just like the others.
Some suspicion is being cast on Ryuju after finding a few items from a recent photo shoot at this crime scene and with the murders happening while he was on tour in the town.
Ryuju's lawyers say there is no evidence to support any suspicion cast upon him and people are just "looking to find a way to stop Ryuju from taking over the K-pop rap world by storm."
In any case Ryuju's sales have gone down due to the recent string of killings so the star is deciding to take a break from Seoul and travel elsewhere.
Ryuju expressed concern for the safety of his fans.
"I am aware of the suspicion cast upon me and as a show of good faith to the police and the people of Seoul I will take an early vacation sadly canceling the rest of my tour. But if it can keep my fans safe I would do anything. Their protection is of the utmost importance to me, because without them I wouldn't be the star shining bright in the sky I am today."
No one knows where Ryuju will be going but rumor's have it that he will be traveling to cocoon and Luna to do some private shows for friends. One thing is certain, if the killings continue in Seoul any suspicion towards Ryuju would be cast aside.
