The organized fraud by a group led by a 10 billion-won asset woman that took the entire fortune of an octogenarian and the true story of a 20-year-old woman who was gaslit by a friend and forced into prostitution filled living rooms with anger.
On the 26th, in Channel A Detectives' Trade Secrets' segment "Detective 24 Hours," the true nature of the "10 billion-won asset woman" gang, who gaslit an 80-year-old and extorted hundreds of millions of won in assets, was revealed in detail. Earlier, the client asked for help, saying, "My mother was deceived by a young woman who is a 10 billion-won asset woman, lent her hundreds of millions of won, and had her house and commercial property mortgaged." One member of the 10 billion-won asset woman gang, Kang Yeong-ho (alias), approached the client's mother claiming he was "a church elder and chairman of S Construction," but the investigation found all his claims to be false. In a meeting with the detective team Baekho, he boasted, "All debts of the 10 billion-won asset woman will be settled in two days," and promised a later meeting, but he repeatedly made excuses to avoid meeting and did not repay the debt. Watching this, Defconn said, "I'm truly furious. There is not an ounce of remorse," and Kim Poong also expressed his devastation, saying, "Even though I'm not a party to this, I feel deeply frustrated."
Another figure in the 10 billion-won asset woman gang, Kang Seong-hye (alias), shocked viewers when her husband testified, "My wife left home with hundreds of millions of won." It was also revealed that she had forged her son's name to make him a joint guarantor. After all inquiries ended, the Baekho detective team met with the client's mother and told her the whole truth. The detective team said, "The 10 billion-won asset woman never lived in Pyeongchang-dong, and her last address was a goshitel. The claims that her father was the president of H Construction, her mother was a gallery director, and that she graduated from M University were also false," leaving the client unable to speak for a while. They also directly showed that the decisive reason the client's mother had to trust them—the "100-million-won bank account"—could be easily fabricated. Only then did the client's mother, who had endured more than a year and a half of gaslighting, collapse, saying, "How can a person do something like that?" Eventually, the client filed a complaint against the 10 billion-won asset woman and her accomplices based on the materials collected.
In the following "case notebook," a father's story that "my daughter who studied abroad in Japan disappeared without a trace" was introduced. The client's daughter, who is 20, took a leave of absence from her school and left for Japan three months earlier. At some point contact ceased, and an investigation found she had never applied to a Japanese school and had no immigration records. Tens of millions of won sent to the daughter's account for tuition and living expenses had already been fully withdrawn. Then, a photo posted by the daughter's friend on social media revealed the missing client's daughter. It was confirmed that the client's daughter had been hiding in an officetel only 30 minutes from home. Sightings of unidentified men entering and leaving the officetel deepened suspicions.
Investigators found that the client's daughter had been gaslit by a friend and used for prostitution as a means of making money. Having lost her mother and fallen into grief and loneliness in high school, the client's daughter came to believe a friend who said she had "shingi" (divine energy). That belief went beyond control and led to crime. The friend instilled fear, saying, "Because of the killing energy you have, your family could die," and manipulated her to run away with large sums of money, saying, "To prevent this, you must perform a ritual." The friend went further, forcing prostitution by saying, "To remove the killing energy, you have to have relations with clean men chosen by the god." Defconn said, "I have profanity coming out, but this is a broadcast so I can't say it," venting his anger, and guest detective Han Guru said in fury, "I wish I could hit them once." Ultimately, the friend was punished on charges of coercion, threats, and arranging prostitution, and the client's daughter escaped the gaslighting and returned to her family.
