The story of a woman who became addicted to gambling, abandoned her husband and children, and even staged a 'defection show' has been revealed.
On the 7th, Channel A's entertainment program 'The Detectives' Business Secrets' aired shocking stories, from a notorious noise offender to a dementia-stricken mother left unattended.
In 'Detective 24/7', the situation of a noise offender who has terrorized apartment residents for three years with 'Hongdae club-level' noise and his mother was reported. The Seagull Detective Team attempted several direct conversations with the offender to resolve the noise issue, but all efforts failed due to his vehement refusal. During this time, they encountered the offender's mother, who had briefly stepped out, and had a conversation with her. The mother revealed, "My son asks me to prepare meals for him and tells me to go to the hospital on my own," and "Our son doesn't have a job and just spends money," indicating that she was in desperate need of help.
However, shortly after, the noise offender's mother was caught rummaging through a trash can to collect food waste. Despite the objections of neighboring residents and the Seagull Detective Team, she insisted on taking the food waste as 'side dishes' and transferred them into her bag. Consequently, 'The Detectives' Business Secrets' sought cooperation from a friendly neighbor of the noise offender to check the interior of the mother-son household. The house was overflowing with garbage, leaving no space to step, and the shocking scene resembled a construction site, leaving everyone speechless. That day, the police were dispatched again due to residents' reports. Whether this unprecedented high-level noise issue can be resolved will continue in next week's broadcast of 'The Detectives' Business Secrets.'
In the true story reconstruction segment 'Case Notebook', a man's story was featured, stating, "I found a contraceptive device in my wife's wallet after she became obsessed with hiking." The client's wife, who was a career woman from a prestigious university and a large corporation, declared that she would go hiking every weekend to treat her depression after becoming a full-time housewife. However, on hiking days, she would wear sexy underwear and return home smelling of strong cigarette smoke. Suspecting his wife's infidelity, the client followed her with the detective team and caught her meeting an unknown man at a motel in the mountains. After that incident, the wife left home, and shortly after, she called in a panic, saying she had been kidnapped and asking for money.
However, it turned out that the kidnapping was a self-staged act by the wife to extort money from her husband. Even more shocking was the revelation that the wife's true purpose for going to the mountains was not an affair, but rather 'the casino.' The client's wife had become addicted to gambling, repeatedly commuting to and from a motel near the casino while living there. She had broken her savings and housing subscription accounts, and even resorted to credit loans and private loans, accumulating gambling debts of 100 million won. To make matters worse, she was engaging in 'pimping' by exchanging sexual favors for chips from male customers. Ultimately, the client's wife was arrested by the police while staging a 'defection show' after believing the false rumor that she could have her gambling debts forgiven.
Meanwhile, on this day’s broadcast, Hong Jin-ho, who returned as the 'number one poker player,' joined as a guest detective. Defconn urged viewers, saying, "Hong Jin-ho plays poker as a professional sport, not gambling. Please do not misunderstand." In response, Hong Jin-ho expressed, "Since I participate in tournaments at casinos, I always receive misunderstandings like 'Is Hong Jin-ho gambling?'" showing a composed demeanor.
When asked how he convinced his father-in-law, Hong Jin-ho revealed, "During my first meeting with my father-in-law, I had just won first place in the 'WSOP Poker Tournament.' I showed him an article about winning a prize of about 900 million won, which helped me gain recognition as a professional player." Hong Jin-ho married his wife, who is 10 years younger, in March last year and announced the birth of their daughter in November of the same year.
The lifestyle-oriented detective true crime drama Channel A 'The Detectives' Business Secrets' airs every Monday at 9:30 PM.
