In the meantime, a letter arrived at the company. Shim Hyeong-tak shed tears, saying, "It was a civil suit from the court. My mother had borrowed a large amount of money in my name. Even then, I said to the top of my lungs, 'Please save me, I feel like I'm dying.'"

Shim Hyeong-tak, who has been a panelist on the radio 'Cultwo Show' since 2019, said, "I was doing 'Cultwo Show' for 4 years and 4 months, and at some point I had auditory hallucinations. I could hear people swearing at me, and I couldn't raise my head." He also shared the reason why he left ‘Cultwo Show’ after a year.

Shim Hyeong-tak said, "What must it have been like for Saya, who was watching that? She couldn't say a word and stayed in the room. I feel so sorry for Saya. I kept helping her, saying, 'Sim shouldn't break down.' She is such a wonderful woman," he said, crying again. shed.

Saya said about the situation at the time, "I was surprised. I felt like I was watching a drama. I thought it was all a lie. I didn't want to think it was reality, so I thought I was watching a drama. It was hard for me, but it was even harder because Shim was the one involved, so I just stood by and supported him. “I also made Mr. Shim smile,” he said, showing his affection.
