'Detectives' Trade Secrets' tracks the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of the 'renowned filial son' who vanished without a trace 20 years ago.
On Monday the 6th at 10 p.m., Channel A's Detectives' Trade Secrets will introduce the heartrending and desperate story of a mother who came to the detective team saying, "I just want to know whether my son who disappeared 20 years ago is alive or dead." The client was left alone with her five-year-old son after her husband suddenly disappeared, leaving behind massive gambling debts. Creditors, thugs and credit card companies descended on them, and she was pushed to the brink in an instant.
The client recalls that "they even threatened to kill me by putting a knife to my throat," remembering the perilous time. She even received threats saying, "We know what school your son goes to, what grade and class he is in," and fearing that her son might be harmed, the client ended up taking on her husband's debts as well. To protect her son alone, the client worked whatever jobs she could find, and knowing her mother's hardship, the son grew up more upright than anyone and became the client's only pride.
Then in 2006, when the son turned 20, he suddenly left home. The client said she was shocked that "he left without leaving even a note, packing only his belongings and disappearing without a trace." She used every possible method to find her son afterward but could not learn his whereabouts. The client lamented, "I couldn't tell whether he had risen to the heavens or sunk into the ground... Nobody knew, so it was so frustrating," and Defconn questioned, "It seems less like a disappearance and more like evaporation."
However, a year after his disappearance, an enigmatic text arrived from the son saying, "Don't look for me because I won't be coming home." They even checked errand centers, but were told, "There is no sign of life at all. In such cases, imprisonment or emigration abroad is also possible." What happened to the son who disappeared 20 years ago, can the detective team find him and fulfill the client's desperate wish, and what will the results be — these will be revealed on the broadcast.
Meanwhile, this episode adds fresh energy with Song Ha-young, the eldest member of global trendsetting girl group fromis_9 who has claimed not only the "summer queen" title but also the "winter queen" title, appearing as a one-day detective and drawing fans' attention. When Defconn asked, "This is your second appearance after Park Ji-won of the same team. How did Park Ji-won react?", Song Ha-young shared vivid feedback, saying, "It was wild. She said it was so much fun she felt like she was watching at home." Song Ha-young went on to candidly express her expectations, saying, "Detectives' Trade Secrets often has sensational material. I'm a dopamine addict. I want to enjoy it today like watching with my friends at home." Meanwhile, Kim Poong brought up, "There are rumors that you gave vocal lessons to Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon," and Song Ha-young cheerfully unpacked the behind-the-scenes story, turning the set into a sea of laughter.
Channel A's Detectives' Trade Secrets, which combines the shocking truth of the case of the son who disappeared 20 years ago with Song Ha-young's surprising charm, will air Monday, April 6, at 10 p.m.<
