Shin Jung-hwan Shares Family Stories and Unveils Eerie Tales on 'Mystery Club Record'

TV personality Shin Jung-hwan opens up about his family. Shin, who was sentenced to eight months in prison in 2010 for illegal overseas gambling and was paroled in December 2011 after serving six months, married a woman 12 years his junior in 2014 and has a son.

In the ninth episode of Comedy TV's ghost story talk show 'Mystery Club Record,' the theme of 'Objects Possessed by Spirits' is explored, delving into chilling stories behind seemingly ordinary items encountered in daily life. The narrative that a single item brought into the home could lead to unexpected misfortune filled the studio with tension.

A 43-year veteran shaman, Im Deok-young, shared a story about how the entire house was turned upside down due to a piece of refurbished furniture, sending chills through the audience. Shin Jung-hwan revealed, "My mother often brings home items discarded at the apartment's recycling area," and confessed that he frequently buys figurines for his son, expressing concern about whether these actions might invite negative energy.

An unexpected revelation in the studio left the hosts flustered. It was discovered that an object, easily possessed by spirits, had been with the two hosts since the first day of filming. In response, Park Young-jin and Shin Jung-hwan asked the shamans present to evaluate the object, which led to a tense and ominous reaction, leaving the studio in suspense. The truth behind this chilling incident can be discovered by watching the broadcast.

Additionally, there was a focus on items that should not be hastily brought back from overseas. Shin recalled his time deployed in Angola, Africa, and mentioned purchasing souvenirs with local significance, drawing attention. The shamans warned, "Souvenirs with unique local meanings are more likely to be possessed by spirits," expressing concern. The broadcast will reveal which souvenirs travelers should be particularly cautious about.

The ninth episode of 'Mystery Club Record' airs on Comedy TV at midnight on the 14th.
