Well not sure how I can start this,but 1st of all this movie is based on one of South Koreas most notorious Serial Killers by the name of "Yoo Young-Chul" He killed mostly rich men and Korean Prostitutes. He also admitted to eating some of the victims. He went on a killing spree from 2003 to 2004. Anyway well I was stationed in South Korea from 2007 to 2014.After I transitioned out of the Army in 2011 I decided I was going to stay in Korea as a civilian. I was young,had no money and honestly did not know what I was doing.I had a korean gf at that time and she was pretty much taking care of me. I started to feel bad for her because she got involved in some shady work just so she could support the both of us. I started feeling bad for her,because I could not support her and I didn't want her to do what she was doing any longer. So I conspired to import some drugs into Korea with a friend of my. "I seen some guys sell weed in Korea and they were selling it for 10times the amount in Korea then they would usually sell in the states. So my friend and I thought we could make easy money as well. Long story short my friend bought some stuff it got caught by Korea's Customs Officials and he was arrested. But the Koren Police and Prosecutors offered him a deal.Basically if he helped them to catch others they would let him go with a period of probation. So he set me up, I was arrested publicly at a Dunkin Donuts in Hongdae(Hongdae is a famous University Area in Korea where lots of University Students and Foreigners go drink and party) I was sent to a prison in Uijeongbu.After a few months I had my first trial and the Judge Sentenced me to 4 years in Jail,I quickly filed for an appeal and was transferred to 서울 구지성(Seoul Prison)My gf at the time still worked at a 텐프로(High End Escort) and she was making around 30K a month doing that job,so within a month she saved enough money to buy me a lawyer. The 2nd trail was around 4 months away. When I was in Seoul Prison,thats where I met the Notorious "Yoo Young Chul" The Serial Killer that this movie is roughly based on. He was in the "FOREIGNERS BLOCK" of the jail,because the guards wanted to segregate him from the Koreans. Well some of us foreigners that lived in Korea heard about him while we lived there and we couldn't believe that he was there,3 doors down from our room. So of course we talked to him and asked questions.The man was a genius,with an exceptionally high IQ (I believe he was like a Korean Ted Bundy. He was artistic and a very skillful person at being able to draw. He was able to carry regular conversations as if nothing was ever wrong with him. He had a passion for Travel and was obsessed with Japanese Culture and said that he frequently visited Japan. It was highly against the rules for us to communicate with him but we would always pass notes back and forth to find out the truth about him,and not what the media,movies,and other propaganda made him. I do not praise what he did at all but this movie definitely twisted the facts about him. Anyway if you guys have any questions feel free to ask me. This is all truth. I even have my prison documents and a few letters from him to prove that this experience I went through is real. O and by the way on my appeal I was granted probation because the judge found me not guilty of the actual crime because my friends at that time did admit that he ordered the drugs and admitted to trafficking the stuff. All I got was a conspiracy charge,I wasn't deported. I left Korea in March 2014 on my own and now live in Shenzhen China, Im planing to return to Korea in April of 2015
