Uncovering the Tragic Death of a Telecom Employee on 'Hidden Eye'
The crime analysis commentary program 'Hidden Eye' delves into the tragic death of a telecom agency employee.
Airing at 8:30 PM on the 2nd, 'Hidden Eye' features MC Kim Sung-joo, Park Ha-sun, and Kim Dong-hyun in the studio, with special guest actress Uee joining them.
Actress Uee captivates the scene with her sharp detective-like intuition, showing her unique affection for the program. Meanwhile, current detective Lee Dae-woo shares behind-the-scenes stories of a recent bust of a voice phishing ring that caused damages of over 7 billion won, revealing the cleverly evolved new crime methods that draw attention.
In Kwon Il-yong's crime rules segment, a shocking incident at a butcher shop in Gyeongbuk is unveiled. Chaos ensues as a man suddenly shouts at people, causing 29 citizens to rush out in a tense situation. Six citizens, unable to escape in time, suffer head and leg injuries and are taken to the hospital, with 25 rescue personnel urgently dispatched, creating a scene of pandemonium. The identity of the man who caused the chaos and the unexpected reason for his shouting are revealed, sparking curiosity.
The live issue segment highlights the death of a telecom agency employee who endured a decade of slave-like conditions. The victim, 44-year-old Park Sung-beom, had his family reveal the hidden truth of his unjust treatment to 'Hidden Eye'.
The video shared by the family shows the agency's representative hitting Sung-beom's face and head multiple times for eight minutes before pushing him against a wall and choking him. The representative also verbally abused him, forced him to do household chores, and take care of his children, it was revealed.
However, the representative justified the decade-long harassment by claiming Sung-beom's habitual embezzlement was the root cause of all conflicts. When shocking facts were uncovered from a restored document previously deleted, profiler Pyo Chang-won analyzed it as "creating a pretext to enslave him."
Despite receiving almost no proper salary, Sung-beom's bank account balance was only 54 won at the time of his death. The representative's absurd excuses for not paying his salary and evading responsibility sparked outrage.
MBC Every1's 'Hidden Eye' airs at 8:30 PM.
