South Korean prosecutors have sought the death penalty for Kim So-young, a 20-year-old woman accused of killing two men and injuring four others by giving them drinks spiked with drugs. The incidents occurred between 2025 and 2026 at motels and cafes, where she added different substances to drinks under false pretenses. Kim confessed to administering the drugs but denied intending to kill her victims, stating she wanted to avoid harassment or unwanted physical contact. Investigators found searches on her phone about the effects of mixing sedatives with alcohol and potential fatal overdoses.
