Show Notes

In this chilling episode of Brew Crime, JT and Mike crack open a cold one and dive deep into one of the lesser-known yet horrifying war crimes of the 20th century — the Seoul National University Hospital Massacre. As North Korean forces swept through Seoul during the Korean War in 1950, hundreds of innocent patients and medical staff were brutally executed inside a place meant for healing.

Join us as we explore the tragic events that unfolded within hospital walls, discuss the broader implications of war crimes, and examine how atrocities like these are remembered (or forgotten) in global history. With our signature blend of cold brews and cold cases, we aim to bring light to a dark chapter of the past that deserves not to be overlooked.
