Lee Choon-jae, a.k.a. The Hwaseong Strangler and The Korean Zodiac Killer, is a South Korean serial killer who was convicted of murdering his sister-in-law in 1994. In 2019, he confessed to fourteen other killings, including ten in the Hwaseong serial murders between 1986 and 1991. He also claimed to have committed over 30 rapez and attempted rapez. Since there were almost no witnesses, it is generally believed that Lee dressed in black clothing of various types (depending on the month) and wore a hood and/or black baseball cap, and maybe a ski mask to hide his face. His usual pattern of attack was to target South Korean women and girls, strike when they were walking alone in secluded areas, and then rapez and kill them via strangulation.
