Singer Wax delivers a witty comeback to the mysterious tension with Hong Seok-cheon

Singer Wax drew laughter by wittily responding to dating rumors with Hong Seok-cheon. Joining Channel A's 'Detectives' Business Secrets' as a one-day detective, Wax, who is usually known as an emotional ballad singer, showcased a surprising charm with her curious and lively personality.

Wax, the protagonist of era-defining sing-along hits such as 'Fixing My Makeup', 'Oppa', and 'Money', revealed her close friendship with male friends like Hong Seok-cheon and Lee Ki-chan during the broadcast. In particular, attention focused on their relationship as an anecdote was mentioned where Hong Seok-cheon once called her "Honey" or proposed marriage on a past broadcast.

Regarding the rumors of dating Hong Seok-cheon, Wax replied, "There is more possibility with Defconn than with him." Defconn responded, "I respect her, but it would be difficult as a lover," adding a sense of mysterious tension to Wax's choice by pointing to another cast member.

The father of a child who disappeared 6 years ago: Suspicions of a 'hit-and-run' in Vietnam and the shocking truth

The case faced by the detective team, which Wax joined, is much heavier and more shocking. The client, a woman of Chinese descent, met a man engaged in the trade business after moving from Busan to Qingdao and gave birth to a daughter. Two months after the birth, the man left for Vietnam, citing a company relocation. At the time, the man promised future meetings, saying, "I will visit frequently once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted."

Instead of coming in person for the daughter's first birthday, the man showed his affection by sending a congratulatory video from Vietnam. However, his contact frequency gradually decreased, and at some point, he began to raise suspicions toward the client, asking, "Did you find another man?" Ultimately, the man blocked her contact information and disappeared.

The client, who has been solely responsible for childcare and livelihood for six years, was diagnosed with Meniere's disease, an incurable illness, three years ago. The client appealed with a desperate heart, saying, "Due to the anxiety that I might collapse at any time, I must find the child's father, if only for my daughter."

While the Seagull Detective Team was tracking the man's whereabouts, they met the man's mother, who caused further confusion by telling the client a completely different story, saying, "My son got divorced because of her." The man was already a married man with a wife and children in Korea, and he had met the client in China and had a daughter while in that state. The mother poured out her resentment, claiming that because the client contacted the original wife in Korea, her son had to give all his assets to his ex-wife and was forced to divorce penniless.

The case grew uncontrollably as it coincided with reports from online communities. The detective team discovered keywords like 'Vietnam' and 'hit-and-run' in internet posts. The author of the post provided shocking information, stating, "There was even someone who made an extreme choice because of the child's father." Kim Poong could not continue speaking, saying, "To have such a big case on 'Tam-bi'...", and Yoo In-na was horrified, saying, "I wasn't mentally prepared to be this shocked."
