The girl Hope was based on was called Na-young, who was just 8 years old in December 2008 when she met a drunken Cho Doo-soon on her way to school and was dragged to the church restroom to be raped by him. Not only did Cho Doo-soon rape the 8-year-old girl, but he also washed the victim's lower body with a water hose in order to clean off his semen, and repeatedly dragged her with a toilet plug, which didn't result in the victim's intestines being dislodged from her body. He also washed his semen and then stuffed the victim's intestines back in, after which he abandoned them. The victim was sober and asked for help, only to be found and sent to the hospital
But it is such atrocities, Cho Doo-chun to his own drunkenness do not remember as a defense, but also repeatedly submitted applications to say that he is a good person, and his wife obviously many times by the domestic violence is also still think that their husbands will be released from prison repentance. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison and will be released in December 2020 for such a crime, despite the fact that the South Korean public marched to demand a heavier punishment. There is a scene in the movie where Jo Doo-soon told his captors after his imprisonment that I will come out and I will see you again when the time comes such a provocation, and in reality there are rumors that he said such a thing.
Another aspect of South Korea's criminal law is that it protects the privacy of criminals, so much so that for years many people didn't know what Jo Doo-soon looked like, knowing that in 19 years a Korean media outlet privately published the criminal's face regardless of the risk of being accused of violating the criminal law. Some experts believe that the chances of Cho Doo-soon committing another crime after his release from prison are very high, and one-on-one monitoring will be practiced after his release. A 600,000-strong crowd in South Korea previously joined together to demand that he not be released, but so far it has been unsuccessful.
Such a devil is coming out at the end of this year, and according to previous reports in the Korean media, after Nayoung's family moved, Cho Doo-soon's wife followed suit, even a few hundred meters away from Nayoung's new home, which makes people shudder.
