Murder of Yun Geum-i
On October 28, 1992, 26-year-old South Korean sex worker Yun Geum-i (Korean: 윤금이; Hanja: 尹今伊) was sexually assaulted and murdered by a U.S. serviceman at a camp town in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It was the first time an American GI had been turned over to the Korean courts for a crime committed against a Korean sex worker. Due to the brutality of the abuse, the case attracted public attention and created outrage, sparking a new wave of anti-American sentiment and further scrutiny of the burden the U.S. military put on Korean cities. It also activated advocacy towards reviewing the U.S.–South Korea Status of Forces Agreement.
