In the 10th episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren', airing on the 31st, Han Seol-ah (played by Park Min-young) and Cha Woo-seok (played by Wi Ha-jun) infiltrate the secret vault of Royal Auction's chairman, Kim Sun-ae (played by Kim Geum-soon), to uncover her true nature. In the previous episode aired on the 30th, Han Seol-ah was accused of the murder of Baek Jun-beom (played by Kim Jung-hyun) but was eventually cleared of all charges.
Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok become suspicious when a series of artworks purchased by Royal Auction clients, including those from the Taemyung Foundation, are destroyed in accidents, leading to large insurance payouts. Han Seol-ah, aware of Kim Sun-ae's business tactics of selling forgeries instead of genuine pieces, is secretly investigating the fire incident at the Taemyung Foundation and Kim Sun-ae's hidden real estate.
The released photos show Han Seol-ah inside Kim Sun-ae's secret vault. While Han Seol-ah captures the vault's contents with a camera, Cha Woo-seok is shocked by the scale of the artworks stored inside, including paintings thought to be destroyed in a fire. This raises the question of whether Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok can fully expose Kim Sun-ae's true nature.
Additionally, the process of uncovering Kim Sun-ae's crimes will reveal the identities of those responsible for the downfall of Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok's families. It was previously revealed that Joo Hyun-soo (played by Park Ji-an), an insurance scammer involved in Kim Sun-ae's scheme, was responsible for the death of Cha Woo-seok's sister, adding to the shock.
Moreover, Kim Sun-ae's past involvement in a forgery sale that ruined Han Seol-ah's father suggests a deep-seated enmity between Han Seol-ah and Kim Sun-ae. The intense rivalry between Han Seol-ah, Cha Woo-seok, and their adversaries Kim Sun-ae and Joo Hyun-soo draws significant attention.
Episode 10 of 'Siren' airs at 8:50 PM.
