Channel A's 'Detectives' Trade Secrets,' which aired on the 7th, revealed the story of a girlfriend who swindled a large sum of money from her boyfriend and even took over his name, as well as the story of a husband who chose to live with his wife's lover instead of divorcing her.

"She Said It Was a 70 Million Won Investment"... Client Who Even Handed Over His Name to His Girlfriend

On this day's broadcast, the story of a client working in the wholesale corn business was introduced. The client, who was dating a girlfriend six years his senior, handed over 70 million won under the pretext of investment and provided various documents along with his own name. Then, notices of unpaid corporate taxes and rental car fees arrived in the client's name, and the company in question was confirmed to be a paper company.

One informant reported that the girlfriend had a prior fraud conviction and had been imprisoned. When the detective team pressed the girlfriend, she admitted to receiving the money as an investor.

At a meeting between the client, the detective team, and the actual representative of the corporation, the representative explained that he had attempted to take out a loan in the client's name but failed. He also stated that he paid 10 million won in exchange for receiving the client's name from the girlfriend, and promised to pay up to 300 million won if profits were generated. On-site, the client wrote a confirmation statement declaring he had no involvement in the corporation's operations, and the girlfriend agreed to write a notarized document regarding the investment debt.

Watching this, Yoo In-na said, "Coming into someone else's life like that—what a nuisance." Defconn emphasized, "No matter how close you are, you should never lend someone your name."

'Case Notebook'... The Husband Who Lived with His Wife's Lover Instead of Divorcing

That same day, the 'Case Notebook' segment covered a case in which a husband, a wife, and the wife's lover all lived together. The case began when a mother filed a request, saying, "I think my son-in-law hid his homosexual tendencies and entered a sham marriage with my daughter."

The client witnessed the son-in-law's male senior sleeping in underwear on the couple's bed while the daughter was away from home, and later even saw the son-in-law and the senior embracing each other. According to the detective team's investigation, the son-in-law's senior frequently visited the couple's home, and the son-in-law declared that he would live with the senior.

Further investigation revealed that the son-in-law's senior and the daughter had been college sweethearts, and that they resumed an affair after reuniting. The daughter demanded a divorce from her husband, but the husband chose to live with his wife's lover instead of divorcing. Once the cohabitation began, the husband grew dependent on the lover, and the three lived together. The client also accepted this arrangement for the sake of her daughter's happiness.

Kim Poong pointed out, "It seems like they are engaging in childish love," and Rhymer said, "True love requires giving something up," adding, "You can't have it both ways—it's this and that, and that's not right."

Meanwhile, Channel A's 'Detectives' Trade Secrets' airs every Monday at 10 p.m.
