The voice phishing mastermind who stole 50 billion won and the younger man who scammed four people

Father of a child who disappeared 6 years ago was the leader of a 50 billion won criminal organization

A request from a Chinese-Korean woman to find a man who disappeared without a trace six years ago has been made public. The man, who reportedly moved from Busan to Qingdao to engage in the trading business, cut off all contact after leaving for Vietnam two months after the birth of his child. The woman, who has been raising her daughter alone and providing for their livelihood, has endured difficult times, including being diagnosed with Meniere's disease, an incurable condition, three years ago.

During the investigation, the claims of both sides conflicted. The father's mother claimed that her son was a married man who had established a family in Korea and that he had divorced because of the client. On the other hand, the client claimed she did not know from the beginning that the man was married. She explained that she merely believed his words that "the marital relationship is already over and I will divorce immediately upon returning to Korea," and added that she had never contacted his legal wife directly.

The man's identity was not that of a simple trader. He had a history of fleeing to Vietnam after an Interpol Red Notice was issued for running a voice phishing organization in Qingdao. He subsequently operated illegal gambling sites and embezzled as much as 50 billion won. In this process, there were cases where victims took their own lives.

The man, who enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle with criminal proceeds, was arrested by the Vietnamese public security and imprisoned in a detention center. Having been extradited to Korea in 2024, he is currently held in a detention center. The woman, reuniting with him in the detention center after six years, burst into tears, but the man showed a cold attitude without any guilt. The detective team reported, "He showed no sense of guilt at all for abandoning the mother and daughter for six years." The client expressed her devastated feelings, saying, "I don't know what to say to my daughter."

The double life of a man 12 years younger, which began as a 'rental boyfriend'

In the following 'Case Notebook' segment, the story of a female doctor in her 40s with a boyfriend 12 years younger was introduced. The client first met the man three years ago during a trip to Japan through a 'rental boyfriend' service that pays 100,000 won per hour. Afterward, she brought him to Korea, provided him with a house, and even supported his living expenses and academy fees so he could become a flight attendant, but the man had already quit his job as a flight attendant.

In addition to the client, the man led a double life by dating three other women in their 40s who possessed financial power at the same time. He received monthly living expenses ranging from several million won to as much as 10 million won from individuals such as a hair salon director, a yoga academy director, and a gallery representative. The man also secretly embezzled the 100 million won deposit for the officetel provided by the client and disappeared.

The man was preparing to marry a younger girlfriend who is an influencer and former flight attendant. He used the money received from other women to gift his girlfriend a watch worth 10 million won and went on overseas trips. He even held a wedding with his younger girlfriend and displayed his daily life on social media while the lawsuit was still ongoing.

The man disparaged the older women who provided him with financial support, saying, "Middle-aged women, get a grip. You're all old, chasing after young men who are like your nieces or sons." Reactions from the cast followed. Kim Poong shook his head, saying, "Being a gigolo is his true calling," while Yoo In-na and Defconn lamented, "It feels beyond anger, it feels too miserable," and "The starting point was wrong from the beginning." Singer Wax reacted to the man's flirting style by saying, "If someone did that intentionally, I think I would be swayed," but after learning the truth, she shared her thoughts, saying, "I need to snap out of it. Dating seems truly difficult."
