Summary

2 people are rushed into the emergency room. The doctors and nurses don’t ask questions - they have one objective in mind. Save these people. Both are suffering from stab wounds. Sadly, only 1 of them will make it. 8 year old, Haneul, is deceased from multiple stab wounds to her neck, back, and chest. The 48 year old woman however, is alive. The nurses try to piece together what might have happened with the little information they have. The older woman is a teacher. The 8 year old girl was attacked in her elementary school. Perhaps, a knife wielding madman snuck into the school and attacked the little girl. Perhaps, the teacher tried to protect her student but was stabbed in the process. It will be difficult to tell the teacher that her student that she presumably tried to protect - did not make it. But when the teacher wakes up - the nurses don’t know how to handle the situation anymore. Because… she is laughing. She is giggling. She killed 8 year old Haneul and she is seemingly happy. Content. Giddy with excitement. Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

0:00.0	It's not the same as it is in America.
0:05.0	I mean, for one, when you step into this building, it's four, sometimes six stories tall, and you turn to your right.
0:12.0	The first thing that you see is a line of cubbies, just spanning the entire wall.
0:18.0	You have to pick an empty cubby, slip off your shoes, put them in the cubby,
0:23.1	and then you have to switch to indoor shoes when you walk in. You can't walk in with socks or
0:28.7	barefoot. You need to slip on dedicated indoor shoes that you have to bring. Then it's time for
0:35.5	the daily stairwalk. You head to the staircase.
0:38.5	And then you walk all your way up to the designated room. Newer buildings have elevators for
0:43.5	accessibility, but this one does not. So once you get to the designated floor, you just see one
0:49.3	single hallway with rows. On both sides of the hallway are these massive sliding doors that lead into these
0:55.7	big rooms with rows and rows and rows and rows of desks lined up. Every single person that you
1:01.4	pass is wearing a knee-length plaid skirt or trousers and a blazer. You find your designated spot.
1:08.3	You start cleaning. There's no janitors. Everybody is responsible for your
1:11.8	own designated area. And once you're done, you look out the giant window and the building is almost
1:18.0	in this U shape that's centered around this courtyard. It sounds like a large, sometimes terrifying
1:24.7	building, but it's not. There's not that many entrances or exits. The halls are
1:28.8	usually patrolled by the staff. Welcome to a South Korean elementary school, where it is rather
1:35.5	difficult to go missing. February 10th of 2025, so not too long ago. Eight-year-old Hanar is one of the last kids to be picked up from the school.
1:47.8	When the adult comes to sign her out of her aftercare class, Hanar is instructed to walk down a
1:52.7	flight of stairs to the front entrance. She's done this Monday through Friday. This is not a new
1:57.3	schedule for Hanar. The front desk, the academy teacher who's picking her up, waits a minute, then waits two
