[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Unbelievable, novel-like incidents that are hard to believe as true have occurred, drawing attention.

On the 27th, MBC's True Story Exploration aired two shocking stories. In the episode "The Secret of the Woman Carrying the Iron Lunchbox," the story of a woman who lived like a modern-day slave, enduring a hellish three years, was introduced. In the episode "The Missing Father and the Left-behind Child," it was revealed that a man had children through an affair, and the man's current wife, who disappeared leaving the child behind, turned out to be a schoolmate of the storyteller, bringing another shock.

In "The Secret of the Woman Carrying the Iron Lunchbox," Jung-im (a pseudonym), who met her family after three years, was in a truly pitiful state. She appeared like a homeless person, with flesh exposed on her knees and toes and wrists that seemed fractured, a sight that could only cause dismay.

According to the broadcast, this situation occurred at a Chinese restaurant where she worked to repay debt. She reportedly worked over 20 hours a day and was subjected to continuous abuse and assault. The True Story Exploration also reported suspicions that even her 13-year-old daughter suffered horrific abuse.

However, the restaurant owner couple denied all allegations as completely unfounded. They especially claimed that they were the victims. They asserted that when Jung-im incurred a large debt due to her mistakes in the past, they were the only ones who supported her. Furthermore, they argued that the wounds on her body were traces of a motorcycle accident caused by Jung-im's negligence and that she was committing fraud, targeting their money.

As the conflicting claims continued, a witness who saw the assault by the owner couple appeared, changing the situation. The witness had visited the Chinese restaurant to have a meal at the time.

The witness reportedly recorded the scene where the restaurant owner assaulted Jung-im. Nevertheless, the owner couple denied their assault and claimed other accusations were also untrue.

True Story Exploration also introduced the story of a woman who suddenly became the mistress who bore an illegitimate child.

Mi-young (a pseudonym), who was struggling with a divorce lawsuit with her ex-husband, was approached via social networking service (SNS) by a man who introduced himself as a divorced man who had returned to farming.

Mi-young became his lover through his affectionate advances and started living together, and they even had a daughter. Then Mi-young discovered the man's true identity.

The man, who claimed to be divorced, was actually a married man who remarried after one divorce. Even more shocking was that his current wife was a schoolmate from the same middle school class as Mi-young. Another shocking fact was that the man had an adult son with his first divorced wife.

Summarizing the situation, two women suffered from the man's double life between them. Eventually, three years ago, Mi-young filed a custody lawsuit against the child's father. One year later, the current wife filed a lawsuit against Mi-young for being the other woman.

Amid the escalating tragic love triangle, the children showed bright appearances, evoking sympathy from viewers. At a picket protest in front of the man's house to receive child support, one daughter said, "Dad, come out quickly. I miss you." Meanwhile, she smiled brightly, saying, "Dad is strong and sturdy. I will go to the zoo with Dad."

The man in question met with the production team and said, "I have nothing to say," refusing to comment on his mistakes.
