In Busan, a gangster doing life who was let out of prison for treatment after he intentionally infected himself with HIV is back in the pen just a month and a half later for violating the terms of his release.
The 46-year-old former underboss of the Busan-based Yutae gang, identified as Mr. Kim, was sentenced to life in 2002 for instigating murder. Figuring that life with AIDS on the outside was better than life inside, he began several attempts to contract HIV from an AIDS patient who was imprisoned at the same pen. From Yonhap:
Following a series of bizarre acts, including cutting his arm and the AIDS patient’s arm and placing them together, drinking the patient’s semen and injecting syringes of the patient’s blood into his arm, he succeeded in infecting himself when he tested positive for HIV.
Kim believed an HIV treatment was just around the corner, and that if he didn’t develop a full-blown case of AIDS right away, he’d be fine. Police, however, suspected he’d infected himself intentionally, and actually added charges.
Afterwards, Kim was moved from prison to prison until he developed a serious fever in February. He was diagnosed with AIDS-related tuberculosis, designated an AIDS patient and sent to a hospital in Busan — where he had family — for three months of treatment.
For the most part, he did his best to comply with treatment, but now finally on the outside, Kim couldn’t resist taking a trip to his old stomping ground in Busan’s Dong-gu neighborhood (or at least that’s where people believe he went)… without telling his parole officer first.
So on April 15, back to jail he went. Police don’t believe he engaged in additional criminal activity during his excursion, however.

Since he had AIDS, maybe he went back to his old neighborhood and started teaching English!
Must everything revolve around teaching English Benicio74? Poor gangster, if only he understand the incurability of viruses which integrate into your DNA. He better pray for nanites
Hopefully he’ll get sick again then die, saving oxygen from getting wasted.
Since he’s already bred, I guess he won’t be getting a Darwin award…
What an amazing story. This is too good to be true! I bet it could be turned into a half decent movie, as long as they changed the semen part into something a little more NC 17.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Speaking of stupid, Benicio, have you met Pawi ? I think you two would make a beautiful couple.
once i saw he drank sieman i stopped reading
#6 I am an English teacher and I was joking!
Yep, the sooner this guys stops wasting oxygen, the better!
As for the “drinking of semen”, did they use a receptacle or did he take it straight from the tap?
He could’ve just simply had unprotected sex with the man than go into all the trouble….
Funny you should say that — the Chosun Ilbo felt the need to actually delete the reference to spunk drinking:

BTW, judging from the way it was worded, it appears Kim did NOT take it “straight from the tap.”
So erm… Why would they let some killer (sentenced to life in prison!) out of jail just because he contracted HIV? That’s the only part of the story that I still just don’t get. Couldn’t they have just treated him inside the prison?
Sorry for the dig Benicio, it is difficult to determine tone sometimes.
That is one weird story.
It is touching to see the love between the English teachers. Just touching…….
Hmm, maybe being a gangster really isn’t as glamourous and cool as it is in the movies…
There is stupid and then there is this guy.
Imagine his explantion to his wife. “Honey its not gay if I only swallowed the guy’s sperm!”. LMAO
“drinking the patient’s semen”
That’s gotta suck. He must’ve been very desperate to get out.
