Musical actress Jeong Seon-ah opens up about her changed preferences after marriage.
In Channel A's 'Detectives' Secret Business', the segment 'Detective 24 Hours' features the second part of a touching story from a man who wishes to express gratitude to his stepmother, who was the only one to support and love him. Last week, the client revealed his troubled past, where he blamed his stepmother for all his misfortunes while living in fear of his father's harsh punishments. However, during his first year of high school, a cutter knife accident left him with a severe hand injury, and seeing his stepmother cry while comforting him opened his heart.
While serving in the military, he learned that his father had divorced his stepmother. About ten years later, he managed to contact her, but due to financial difficulties, he had to confess his inability to even afford a meal. His stepmother generously sent him 100,000 won, but he lost contact again without repaying her kindness. The client confessed to carrying the guilt of being a 'freeloader' for 27 years.
This week, the detective team visits the neighborhood where the stepmother's brother once ran a loach farm. With the active cooperation of the villagers, they gather unexpected clues, accelerating their search. Just as they were about to leave the loach farm empty-handed, they miraculously meet a relative of the stepmother, providing a breakthrough. Yoo In-na expresses her amazement, saying, "How can we meet like this by chance?" Defconn and Kim Poong also express excitement, stating, "The whole village, the whole universe is helping us find the stepmother."
At their next stop, they discover an old barbershop where they meet someone who remembers the stepmother, saying, "I learned barbering under that father." The pursuit reaches its climax with this connection. Kim Poong marvels, "It's like a game where every place gives us a clue," and Defconn anticipates, "It feels like we're just 10 meters away from meeting the stepmother." The reunion between the client and his stepmother after 27 years remains to be seen.
This episode features 'trusted musical diva' Jeong Seon-ah as a guest detective. A self-proclaimed avid viewer of 'Detectives' Secret Business', Jeong Seon-ah expresses her excitement, saying, "I've been eagerly waiting for today." She particularly praises Yoo In-na among the hosts, saying, "Yoo In-na provides satisfaction at the right moments. She's very sharp," heating up the atmosphere. Defconn adds humor, saying, "We didn't realize Yoo In-na's true value, but Jeong Seon-ah did."
Jeong Seon-ah candidly admits, "Before marriage, I didn't understand why infidelity stories were interesting, but now I find them very entertaining," and surprises the studio by revealing, "I watch infidelity stories with my husband." True to her reputation as a 'legendary diva' who hasn't left the stage in 24 years, she performs a signature musical number on the spot, transforming the studio into a concert hall.
Jeong Seon-ah's laughter-inducing moment, saying, "I'm sweating," amidst the cast's explosive cheers and the heated atmosphere, will be revealed on the 27th at 10 PM.
