A 22-year-old university student A from Yecheon, Gyeongbuk, was kidnapped and tortured to death in Cambodia. A left home during summer vacation intending to attend a trade fair in Cambodia. However, one week later, the family received a threatening phone call demanding 50 million won from a man with a Korean-Chinese accent. Although the family reported the matter to police and the embassy, A's location could not be determined. Two weeks later, A was found dead at the scene. The cause of death was cardiac arrest due to torture, and the body has not been transferred to South Korea for two months. With the number of kidnappings of South Koreans in Cambodia recently surging, concerns about safety are growing.
