THE "EULJI-RO DOCTOR" CANNIBALISM SCANDAL
VOL. 10 No. 2
Since 1989
THE DR. SHIN CASE
What started as a routine safety check in a cramped Eulji-ro alleyway has just blown the lid off one of the most disturbing crime cases the city has seen in years. Late last night, police raided a hidden basement setup underneath an ordinary printing shop. On the outside, it looked completely normal. Inside, it was a spotless, high-end illegal surgical clinic run by an unlicensed doctor known in the underworld simply as "The Doctor."
The suspect, identified by authorities as 29 year old Shin Ryu , is currently at large and designated as extremely dangerous. While initially suspected of merely providing off-the-books medical treatment to violent syndicate members, the investigation took a horrifying turn when specialized units discovered processed human remains within a concealed cold-storage unit on the premises.
Citing evidence recovered at the scene, investigators allege that Ryu utilized his exceptional surgical precision to indulge in clandestine cannibalistic tendencies, targeting patients who failed to survive their operations. Standing at 184 cm with a distinct, extensive full-back tattoo designed to conceal severe historic scarring, Ryu is known to carry a surgical scalpel as a primary weapon.

BEHAVIORAL NOTES
Exhibits profound sadistic tendencies. Ryu views the human body with clinical detachment, deriving gratification from total control over his subjects. He perceives physical pain not as a moral failing, but as an aesthetic element of his "work."
