In Channel A‘s real-life detective drama ‘Detectives’ Trade Secrets’, the Seagull Detectives, who set out to track down the ‘Famous Table Tennis Player‘s Fraud Case’, gave an impressive performance. In addition, Kim So-hyun, who is currently playing the role of a representative lovebird couple in the musical industry with Son Jun-ho and ‘The Voice of the Devil’, appeared as a guest on ‘Case Notebook - Dirty Woman’ and confirmed her love for her husband once again.

In the ‘24 Hours’ of ‘Detectives’ Trade Secrets’ broadcast on the 16th, the ‘Seagull Detectives’ reported the good news that the culprit of the 3,000-ton illegal garbage dumping case that caused a lot of controversy had been caught, and then started on a new case. The new client was an intellectually disabled victim who was playing table tennis for an industrial team. He approached the perpetrator, a famous table tennis player whose name appears immediately when you search for him on a portal site, first through SNS to share his struggles as a table tennis player. However, the perpetrator, who had not contacted him for two years, borrowed a small amount of 300,000 won from the victim under the pretext of medical expenses, and from there, he quickly extorted millions of won. When the victim asked him to repay the money, he threatened the victim by sending her a self-harm photo using his life as collateral. When the victim refused, saying it was difficult, he even arranged for a loan company using a mobile phone micropayment system called ‘Card Gang’.

The total amount the victim lent him was approximately 27 million won, which was almost all of his life savings, including prize money from competitions. After the victim reported it to the police, the perpetrator promised to make small monthly payments, but contact has now been cut off. Based on the press release that mentioned the perpetrator‘s name, the Seagull Detectives visited the association where he played table tennis until two years ago to inquire. However, the association left the meeting after talking to the coach in charge, raising questions. However, an acquaintance of the perpetrator whom I met at the association also gave me a crucial tip, saying, “I also lent him about 5 million won.” In the end, there were second and third victims, and the amount of damage was confirmed to be increasing significantly. The Seagull Detectives’ ‘Networking King’ story of tracking down the fraud of the famous table tennis player will continue in the next episode.


In the meantime, Kim So-hyun, who captured the heart of her husband Son Jun-ho, who is 8 years younger than her, joined the true story reconstruction corner ‘Case Notes - Dirty Woman’ as a guest. The client for that day was the biological mother who suspected her daughter, who was a perfect husband and started a family with her husband, of having an affair. The husband was the CEO of a cosmetics company with annual sales of 10 billion won. The detective‘s investigation revealed that the wife was indeed visiting the officetel, but he was doing laundry and showering at the shared officetel he shared with a real estate agent couple. It turned out that the wife was unable to invite her family over or do laundry because of her husband’s severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, who was known as a “loving wife.” Even her young daughter was showing compulsive and obsessive-compulsive disorder, repeatedly wiping her hands, saying, “Mom is dirty. I have to disinfect it.” Defconn was furious, saying, “Is this a person or an animal?”

In the story, the detective recommended a divorce and recommended that the wife record the “home cam” and objectively observe the situation. When her husband came, the wife wore a swimming cap and covered her hair, and she was routinely subjected to humiliating cleanliness inspections that did not even allow fingerprints, while covered in disinfectant sprayed by her husband. Eventually, the wife filed for divorce, and they calmly gathered evidence of her husband‘s affair and immediately succeeded in reaching a favorable agreement. The husband humiliated his wife by demanding obsessive cleanliness, but he called her out at drinking parties or in his personal officetel and had an intimate physical relationship with her without hesitation, causing her anger.

Kim So-hyun, shocked by the absurd story, made everyone laugh by leaving a comment like her husband Son Jun-ho, who showed his love for his wife on the previous episode of ‘Tambi’, saying, “Honey, I love you! You’re the perfect man.”.
