In 1994, the Chijon family in South Korea hosted a neighborhood barbecue while hiding their gruesome crimes. They kidnapped, raped, and murdered wealthy victims, using an incinerator to dispose of bodies, all while pretending to be a friendly family. The group, formed by individuals disillusioned with the rich, targeted victims based on their perceived wealth. They committed horrific acts, including forcing a captive to eat human flesh, and attempted to mask the smell of their crimes with barbecued pork. Their downfall came when a survivor escaped and reported them to the police. The gang was arrested, tried, and executed within a month. The case left a lasting impact on the community, with lingering fear and stigma surrounding the Chijon family's actions.
