This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hunter of the Wealthy: The Most Dangerous Serial Killer in South Korean History

Dive deep into the chilling true story that terrorized Seoul and transformed South Korea's approach to criminal investigation forever. In 2003, a shadow fell across the wealthy neighborhoods of Seoul as Yoo Young-chul, calling himself "The Wrath of the Gods," embarked on a reign of terror that would claim twenty lives and expose shocking corruption within the Korean police force.

This gripping audiobook takes you inside the mind of one of Asia's most complex serial killers—a man who didn't just kill, but systematically targeted three distinct victim categories with calculated precision. From breaking into fortified mansions of the wealthy elite to stalking women through dark city streets, and luring vulnerable sex workers to his apartment of horrors, Yoo Young-chul's crimes defied traditional criminal profiling.

What makes this case extraordinary isn't just the brutality—it's the stunning revelation that two serial killers were operating simultaneously in the same city, neither aware of the other's existence. Author Waleed Saleh meticulously reconstructs the investigation that consumed South Korea's largest police force, revealing how one small mistake led to the killer's dramatic capture and escape, and ultimately his downfall.

Through exclusive details and psychological analysis, this audiobook explores the twisted transformation from an abused child to a methodical killer who believed himself a divine messenger. You'll discover the shocking investigative failures, the corruption scandal that led to false confessions, and the media circus that followed his arrest.
