Seo Yoon Bum's five-year-old grandson was killed when a car plowed through a group of pedestrians in Seoul in 1991. The distraught, devoutly Catholic grandmother forgave the errant driver, Kim Yong Jae, 24, but that didn't prevent Kim from being hanged in 1997. His execution prompted Seo Yoon Bum to launch a personal protest. She stated that, "I don't go to mass any more. I won't attend until my soul is at peace."
