In 2019, South Korea was shocked by the disappearance and murder of Kang, whose ex-wife, Go Yoo-jeong, meticulously planned and executed his killing to prevent him from seeing their child. Evidence revealed that she drugged and killed him during a meeting at a secluded inn, disposing of his body in the sea and destroying evidence. Investigations also raised suspicions about her involvement in the earlier death of her stepson, but insufficient evidence prevented further charges. Public outrage made Go one of the most hated figures in South Korea. In 2020, she was sentenced to life imprisonment for Kang's murder, though many questioned whether the punishment was adequate for her cold-blooded crimes.
