In Channel A's 'Detectives' Trade Secrets', which aired on the 22nd, the 'Seagull Detectives' chased after the 'Vietnamese wife who ran away after 6 days of marriage', the protagonist of a case that was hotly covered on the Internet. It was surprising that the Seagull Detectives were known to have been chasing this wife even before the incident was reported in the news. The client met his wife in Vietnam through a brokerage agency and married her. However, before entering the country, he had to stay away for 7 months due to problems with his wife's visa. During the waiting time, the client won the housing subscription and could not hide his excitement as he prepared clothes to live with his wife. However, his wife, whom he met after 7 months, refused to even talk to her husband and ran away 6 days after coming to Korea. The client recalled, “Every time I came, he was lying there like a corpse. All I could do was look at my phone.”
Attorney Seong-tae Nam, a legal advisor, shocked people by explaining, "Once married, there are cases where the husband is induced to become the at-fault spouse and then files for divorce." The client attempted to call a person called ‘Cousin Unnie’ in Korea to inquire about his wife’s whereabouts. However, he got angry at the client and hung up the phone. Jeong Hyeon-woo, a Vietnam-related video creator who is the client's assistant, said, "Personally, I suspect the cousin is a 'broker.' The local madam said that the client's wife does not have a cousin," and that this cousin is in charge of divorce and entertainment business brokerage. I assumed it was a broker.
Lee Seong-woo, head of the Seagull Detective Group, asked again, “(My wife) is an illegal immigrant, so if I find her, I have no choice but to report it to the immigration office. Are you okay?” The client hesitated and then said bitterly, “I want to ask you why you used me.” Thanks to reports from netizens who saw the story, the Seagull Detectives began a search focusing on entertainment establishments in the area. At a karaoke bar, they found a Vietnamese woman with a similar entry period, but at this point, the production team's 'cutting skills' were displayed, causing sighs from the MCs.
Hwang Hye-young, CEO of a shopping mall worth 10 billion won and a member of the popular 90s group 'Tutu', participated in 'Case Note - My Husband Runaway from Home'. In the story, a couple appeared who were harmonious except that they had no children. However, one day, the professor's husband got very angry and ran away from home because "there were no dried radishes on the table," raising questions. Defconn doubted her husband, saying, "If they had planned to break up, they should have been more careful. It seems too amateurish." My wife went to her in-laws and informed them of the fact that she had run away from home, but instead she received a cold response, saying, "You should be embarrassed. Just think that you have become independent for a moment and leave this professor alone." Kim Pung was taken aback and said, “You mean independence? What kind of colony were you and your husband?” Detectives then captured a woman and her husband gently selecting baby products. The husband's current residence was also revealed to be the husband's parents' home, causing shock.
It turned out that the husband, who had suffered from infertility with the client, had a child out of wedlock and was preparing for childbirth with the extramarital woman at his parents' house without the client's knowledge. Moreover, shockingly, the woman who had the affair was the client's college classmate. The affair woman was a classmate who was not close to the client, and all I heard was that she was single and taught dance to children at a class reunion. When the detective dug into the affair woman's SNS account, it was revealed that the affair woman and her husband met at the tennis court and made eye contact. In the video, the woman having an affair was having sex on the tennis court when she attempted to make suspicious skinship by wiping sweat from her husband with the back of her hand. Defcon was amazed at the new concept of wall-to-wall flirting, saying, “Isn’t that ‘wallpaper’?”
And one day, when the client was preparing to file a lawsuit against an adulterous woman, the husband suddenly came to the client and shouted, "Because of you, our blessing died," and "I'm horrified. Please divorce me and cut off ties." After her husband left, the client visited the detective again. The detective exploded suspicion by showing a scene where the woman having an affair was buying alcohol in a box even though she was pregnant. Yoo In-na expressed her doubts, saying, “Didn’t the woman who had an affair in school miss out on first place because of a client?” Defconn also doubted whether it was an ‘unexpected revenge’, saying, “It was like that in the movie ‘Old Boy.’ I need to dig deeper.”
Soon, an absurd suggestion came from my mother-in-law: “Let’s annul the divorce.” It turned out that the woman who had the affair was a married woman with three children, and one day her husband came to visit and turned the in-laws upside down. They even took 200 million won from the husband under the pretext of having an affair.
Afterwards, the detective found out that the adulterous woman ran a karaoke bar with her real husband and worked as a helper. Attorney Nam Seong-tae recalled his actual experience, saying, "There was a case where the husband had his wife work as a karaoke helper because his business went bankrupt. However, he came out with a red flag and asked, 'What's wrong with other people's wives also making money as helpers?'" The detective infiltrated the business and left behind all the circumstantial evidence with a special camera, and eventually the adulterous woman and her husband were arrested together.
Defconn made everyone laugh by asking, “Who makes the jade flowers?” In response to the unimaginably shocking true story, Hwang Hye-young stuck out her tongue, saying, "I don't think there will ever be a drama like that." Attorney Nam Seong-tae continued, "This happens frequently. Among the cases that have been reported, there was a case where a husband canceled a debt to a debt collector under the pretext of having sex with his wife," causing surprise. Hwang Hye-young was shocked and said, “People are the scariest thing.”
