In the 248th episode of 'Ask Me Anything' (directed by PD Lee Won-sang), which aired on KBS Joy on the 1st, the story of a person who is going through a divorce conflict due to his wife suspected of having an affair with a man he met while playing an online game was broadcast.
The storyteller, who came to the Bodhisattva house and complained that he suspected his wife was having an affair with a man she met while playing online games, recently went out saying that his wife was going to her parents' house, but he lost contact with her in the afternoon, so he said to his mother-in-law and father-in-law, "I'm sorry for sending you alone. I contacted him saying, “I’ll see you next month,” but he said, “What’s going on?” He said he was embarrassed to receive the reply, “I never came.”
My wife contacted me a few hours later and said, “I was frustrated so I faked it and came up. “My cousin is here now,” he said, but the storyteller revealed that the man he knew through gaming with his wife also suspected an affair, saying he had lost contact with her since around the same time.
Seo Jang-hoon asked the storyteller, “Why are you suspicious of someone you’ve never seen before?” and “We talked about that guy a lot on a regular basis, and we exchanged contact information as part of communication between game managers.” “When I was living with him, we played another game.” “I had a romantic relationship with someone else,” he said, making the two Bodhisattvas understand the circumstances of his suspicions.
Afterwards, the storyteller contacted the game man and explained why he suspected his wife's affair and resolved the misunderstanding, but the next day the game man said, "My mother brought me kimchi," and two days later, the wife said, "I ate kimchi pancake." He said he was even more convinced of the affair. Seo Jang-hoon, who heard this, reacted in embarrassment, saying, “This isn’t right~ You eat kimchi, I eat it, and I eat it all...”
As his suspicions grew, the storyteller eventually searched for the IP using his wife's game ID, and when it was confirmed to be Game Boy's area, he tried to talk to his wife, saying, "I'll understand if you tell me honestly," but "I went to Game Boy out of frustration, and Game Boy stayed in his own room." He said he received a shocking answer from his wife, saying, “I recommended it.”
What's even more shocking is that the wife notified the storyteller that she would stay at the game man's house for two more weeks, and two weeks later she said, "I don't have any feelings for my brother," and demanded an absurd amount of money, including 4 million won in debt incurred during the marriage, as well as alimony and compensation for mental damage. He asked for a divorce as a condition.
Seo Jang-hoon, who heard the story, said firmly, “If this story is true, you should receive compensation for the mental damage,” and added, “A good person like you festers inside. “Don’t do that,” he said, sincerely comforting the victim.
Also, the two Bodhisattvas said to the storyteller, “We are here because there is no one to stop you. “Among the people we told to break up with, not a single one has complained,” he said, advising the storyteller to face reality once again and encouraging him.
