10월 28일 원당역 흉기 사건 피해자의 동생입니다. 이 사건의 중대함이 제대로 알려지지 않고, 일부 보도에 사실과 다른 내용이 있어 글을 씁니다.
일부 기사에 "목과 다리를 다쳤다"고 나왔지만, 이는 구급대원의 정확한 파악 전에 전해진 초기 정보로 사실과 다릅니다.
가족이 전달받은 바로는 가장 심각한 부상은 얼굴과 목입니다. 얼굴을 알아보기 힘들 정도로 난도질 당했으며, 목의 주요 혈관과 척추 안쪽 혈관도 손상되었습니다. 폐, 간 등 옆구리 쪽 장기도 심하게 훼손되어 현재 매우 위중한 상태입니다.
피의자는 피해자의 뒤에서 목 부위를 찔렀습니다. 또한 수개월 전부터 흉기를 소지하고 다녔고, 체포 전 자신의 몸에 스프레이를 뿌리면서 퍼포먼스를 행했다고 전해 들었습니다. 이런 정황으로 볼 때 우발적 범행이 아니라고 생각합니다.
이 사건이 가벼운 사건으로 축소되지 않도록 정확한 보도와 관심을 부탁드립니다.
추가로 피해자 가족이 어떻게 대응하면 좋을지 조언해 주실 수 있는 분은 DM으로 연락 부탁드립니다.
피해자는 여전히 의식을 완전히 회복하지 못하였으며 여전히 여러 차례의 수술이 예정되어 있습니다. 현재는 수술을 할 컨디션이 아니라 상황을 지켜보며 기다리고 있다고 합니다. 피해자 상태를 축소하지 말아주세요.
그리고 영어로 해당 내용을 공유해주실 수 있는 분들은 아래의 내용을 공유 및 리포스트 해주시면 진심으로 감사드리겠습니다.
A woman in South Korea was slashed across the face and neck with a knife by a male coworker, the suspect in this incident, on 28.10.2026.
These are wounds that can never be undone.
She is my sister, and she is still fighting for her life.
If you can read English, if you have a voice, and if you work in the press, please share this story. Repost it for my sister. Repost it for every woman.
I am the younger sibling of the woman who was attacked with a knife at Wondang Station in Goyang, South Korea, on October 28, 2026.
Some early reports said she was injured in the neck and legs. That information circulated before paramedics and doctors could fully assess her, and it is wrong.
What our family has been told is that her most serious injuries are to her face and neck. They were cut so badly that she is difficult to recognize. Major blood vessels in her neck, including vessels near the spine, were damaged. Organs on her side, including the lungs and liver, were also severely injured. She is in critical condition.
The surgeon who treated her reportedly asked how long the blade must have been, because the wounds were so deep. She lost nearly three liters of blood. An adult woman typically has around four to five liters, so by typical estimates she lost well over half of her blood volume. She still needs further major surgery, but her condition is too unstable to proceed. She has not fully regained consciousness.
On the day of the attack, she was walking back to work with a coworker after lunch at about 12:30PM. The suspect called her out and asked to speak with her alone, singling her out and excluding the coworker. That coworker found the situation strange and stayed near the scene. This is how the attack was witnessed, and help was called quickly.
The suspect reportedly attacked her from behind, in the neck area. Another female coworker tried to stop the attack and was not harmed. We understand that the suspect targeted only my sister. We were told he had been carrying two mountain knives for about six months. We were also told that investigators found he had searched for the word “carotid artery” before the attack.
Before his arrest, he reportedly sprayed something on his own body in what looked like a staged performance, which we believe was meant to justify what he had done.
According to reports, the suspect has a mental illness, claims the act was impulsive, and says he has no memory of the incident.
However, we cannot see how a person who singled out one victim, separated her from others, chose where to strike, and prepared in advance could be described as acting on impulse. Taken together, the timing of the attack, the six months of carrying two knives, the targeting of one specific person, and the staged performance afterward lead us to believe this was not an impulsive crime but a meticulously planned attempted murder. We do not accept that a claim of diminished capacity should lessen the seriousness of what was done to her.
We also do not believe this is only a story about one person who should not have been hired. We believe several failures contributed. We were told she had struggled at work with this suspect lots of times and requested a transfer. We question whether the workplace selected and managed its staff carefully enough, and whether her request was properly heard and acted on.
Beneath all of this, we believe strongly, lies a deep and widespread hostility toward women in Korean society. If the victim had been a man, or if the coworker and supervisor had been a man, would the same plan have been carried out? We cannot stop asking this question. And we know that many women in Korea live with the fear that it could have been them.
My sister is still fighting for her life. Our parents are spending each day outside an intensive care unit.
Please do not minimize the case; her injuries are far more severe. Also, do not let this be treated as a minor incident or forgotten as one person’s isolated act. We ask that the investigation and trial examine the planning behind this attack and that a claim of mental illness not be used to erase the weight of what was done to her.
Journalists, especially those who can report in English and Korean, please contact us through DM. We are also seeking advice from anyone with experience in criminal procedure or supporting crime victims in Korea.
Please keep asking questions, and please keep paying attention.

많은 분들께서 글을 공유해 주시고 이 사건을 계속 알려 주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다. 앞으로도 지속적인 관심을 부탁드립니다.
새롭게 전해 들은 내용이 있어 업데이트드립니다. 이 내용을 알게 된 뒤 가족은 이 사건이 우발적 범행이 아니라 피해자를 계획적으로 노린 범행이라고 확신하게 되었습니다.
사건 당일, 피해자는 직장 동료와 식사를 마치고 복귀하던 길이었습니다. 이때 피의자가 피해자를 불러냈고, 함께 있던 동료는 제외한 채 피해자만 따로 지목해 대화하자고 했다고 합니다.
둘이 따로 이야기하자는 제안을 동료가 이상하게 여겨 현장 근처에 있었고, 그 덕분에 사건 발생을 목격하고 곧바로 도움을 요청할 수 있었다고 들었습니다. 사건을 말리려던 다른 여성 동료에게는 공격이 가해지지 않았다는 점도 가족은 가볍게 넘길 수 없습니다. 피의자는 처음부터 피해자 한 사람만을 노렸다는 뜻이기 때문입니다.
또한 피의자가 범행 전 '경동맥'이라는 단어를 검색한 정황이 드러났다고 들었습니다. 앞서 전해 드린 것처럼 피의자는 피해자의 뒤에서 목 부위를 찔렀고, 수개월 전부터 흉기를 소지했으며, 체포 전 자신의 몸에 스프레이를 뿌리는 행동도 했다고 합니다.
누구를, 어디를, 언제, 무엇으로 공격할지, 그리고 범행 뒤 자신의 행동을 어떻게 보이게 할지까지 미리 준비하고 실행한 계획 범죄로밖에 보여지지 않습니다. 사건 당시의 기억이 없다는 주장, 정신질환을 이유로 한 주장이 이 모든 정황을 덮는 이유가 되어서는 안 된다고 생각합니다. 심신미약이라는 말 같지도 않은 말로 죄의 무게가 가벼워지는 일은 결코 없어야 합니다.

10월 28일 원당역 흉기 사건 피해자의 동생입니다. 이 사 건의 중대함이 제대로 알려지지 않고, 일부 보도에 사실과 다른 내용이 있어 글을 씁니다.
일부 기사에 "목과 다리를 다쳤다"고 나왔지만, 이는 구급 대원의 정확한 파악 전에 전해진 초기 정보로 사실과 다릅 니다.
가족이 전달받은 바로는 가장 심각한 부상은 얼굴과 목입 니다. 얼굴을 알아보기 힘들 정도로 난도질 당했으며, 목의 주요 혈관과 척추 안쪽 혈관도 손상되었습니다. 폐, 간 등 옆구리 쪽 장기도 심하게 훼손되어 현재 매우 위중한 상태 입니다. 의식을 찾았다 해도 수차례의 수술이 필요한 상황입니다.
피의자는 피해자의 뒤에서 목 부위를 찔렀습니다. 또한 수 개월 전부터 흉기를 소지하고 다녔고, 체포 전 자신의 몸에 스프레이를 뿌리면서 퍼포먼스를 행했다고 전해 들었습니 다. 이런 정황으로 볼 때 우발적 범행이 아니라고 생각합니 다.
이 사건이 가벼운 사건으로 축소되지 않도록 정확한 보도 와 관심을 부탁드리며 제 게시글을 리트윗하여 최대한 많 은 이들에게 전달 될 수 있도록 도움 부탁드립니다.
