## Resource

Across South Korea, one routine vaccination check uncovered one of the country's most heartbreaking child abuse cases. In 2022, police investigating a missing immunization record entered an apartment in Seoul and made a devastating discovery: the body of a baby girl hidden inside an airtight kimchi container for nearly three years. What began as a simple welfare inquiry quickly became a homicide investigation that shocked the nation. In this episode of You Can't Unhear , we examine the tragic story of the Seoul kimchi container baby case, the criminal backgrounds of the child's parents, the forensic investigation that struggled to determine how she died, and how a single government employee's attention to a missing vaccination record finally gave an unnamed little girl the chance to be found. It's a heartbreaking reminder that sometimes the smallest detail can uncover the darkest secret.
