Channel A's 'Detectives' Trade Secrets' covers the theft of a luxury watch worth tens of millions of won in a provincial new town, and the stories of the people entangled in it.

【A Watch Worth Tens of Millions of Won Stolen — the Client Is a 'Husband'】

The broadcast begins with a husband entrusting the detective team with the case of the stolen luxury watch. He said that although he was advised to report it to the police, his wife was the most suspicious party, so he hesitated to file a report.

The husband explained that a year ago, he voluntarily requested a transfer to a factory in a provincial new town in order to be promoted to an executive position. His family wanted to stay in Seoul, but he persuaded them to move with him. He said his wife, who had to adjust to an unfamiliar environment, gradually struggled and suffered from depression.

He also expressed his sense of injustice, saying, 'As punishment for having a wife 10 years younger, I supported everything without shortage — family living expenses, our child's private academy fees, and even my mother-in-law's allowance.'

Then, a change came over his wife. She began socializing with mothers from Seoul, went out more often, and appeared brighter.

【Fake Caregiving Fees and Even a Fake Watch — Suspected Premeditated Acts】

The wife claimed her mother had injured her back and requested an additional 1 million won in caregiving fees each month, and the husband increased the amount he sent to his mother-in-law accordingly. However, through his brother-in-law, he learned that his mother-in-law had never been injured, exposing his wife's lies.

Then the husband discovered that the luxury watch he treasured had been replaced with a fake of the same model, and he became convinced that this was his wife's premeditated act.

The husband claimed, 'It wasn't enough for my wife to skim off 1 million won every month under the pretext of caregiving fees for my mother-in-law — she even stole a watch worth more than 20 million won.' When the full story of the case was revealed, Kim Poong said, 'She's given up on being human.'

【Kim Hyun-wook Goes Out as a One-Day Detective — Reveals the 'Trade Secrets' of Emceeing 750 Weddings】

On this broadcast, Kim Hyun-wook, a former KBS announcer, appears as a one-day detective.

Kim Hyun-wook has been active as a freelance emcee since going independent in 2012, working at wedding ceremonies, singing classes, and local festivals. He said he has emceed about 750 weddings and revealed his trade secrets for winning event bookings. When asked to serve as MC, he readily accepted requests to sing three songs as well, and he will showcase a tambourine performance during the broadcast.

He also has a diverse business background, including an internet cafe, restaurants, and education ventures. In particular, it was revealed that he once expanded a 'Kongbul' (bean sprout bulgogi) franchise — which enjoyed popularity at the time — to 100 locations before selling his stake. Upon seeing this, Defconn reacted, 'He's all set for retirement.'

The broadcast will also cover a twist related to the ups and downs of Kim Hyun-wook's businesses.
