A person who suffered from domestic violence and financial extortion by her parents will appear on ‘Ask Anything’ and tell an astonishing story.

On the 291st episode of KBS JOY ‘Ask Anything’, which airs tonight (the 11th) at 8:30 PM, a person who suffered domestic violence, financial extortion, and verbal abuse from her family will appear.

The person said, “When I was in the second year of middle school, my parents got divorced, and I lived with my dad for 3-4 years right after that, and then I lived with my mom until I became an adult.”When we were living together, my father slapped my youngest sibling in the face while drunk, and my older brother reported it for domestic violence, was immediately arrested, and was sentenced to 4 years in prison. In addition to the youngest sibling incident, there were other issues that led to his imprisonment, and he lived with his mother after his father was imprisoned.”

The victim had worked a variety of part-time jobs since high school due to his family’s financial situation, but his mother, who had bad credit, took all the money with a check card in his name. Even after becoming an adult, he shocked everyone by saying that he took Sayeon‘s first salary in the same way.

When Seo Jang-hoon asked, “Why didn’t you receive it in a different account?”, she explained that she created a new account, but ended up receiving the money in the same account at her mother‘s recommendation.

Sayeon continued to have financial problems with her mother after that, so she became independent, and was subjected to violence and verbal abuse from her mother and her mother’s boyfriend.

Sayeon, who escaped her mother but had nowhere to live, ended up living with her father who was released from prison, but she added that her mother contacted her again after finding out that she had pulled herself together and started a new job, asking to borrow money. The victim was diagnosed with epilepsy due to her mother‘s continued financial demands.

Seo Jang-hoon is said to have comforted and consoled the victim, saying, “You’re still at an age to see good things” and “How can you break up with your family ties, but you can do it.”

Meanwhile, today‘s ‘Ask Us Anything’ will also feature the story of the gluttonous victim who eats 10 servings a day but only weighs 41kg, and the story of a troubled man who got a taste of money in the stock market.
