Kim (pseudonym), who started an interior frame painting business in 2007. It was an unfamiliar field at the time, but it grew the company with its employees to become the No. 1 player in the industry. However, there have been strange signs in the company since the end of last year. While material costs increased by 50 percent, sales decreased by nearly 30 percent, and after a while, Kim faced an unexpected scene.
▶ Materials found in competitors
Kim (pseudonym), who suspected the material may have leaked to the outside world, found a competitor who stole his company's name in an online shopping mall. Surprisingly, however, the representative of the competitor was Choi (pseudonym), who left the company at the end of last year, and another resigner, Jeong (pseudonym), was also working there. Kim (pseudonym) reportedly informed his employees of the fact, but everyone responded that it was hard to believe. In the end, Kim personally visited a competitor's factory, where he found his company's items. Also, the competitor's computer found something more surprising...
▶ an unlikely connection
Eventually, Kim installed CCTV in the company, and soon caught a decisive scene. An employee, Park (pseudonym), was filmed sneaking company items into the vehicle. Because he was a sincere and reliable employee, the feeling of betrayal felt by Kim (a pseudonym) was inevitably greater, but this was not the end of the case. The record of Park (pseudonym) secretly producing the painting and sending it to the company has been confirmed.
The production team of "Real Story Exploration Team" personally searched for Park (pseudonym) and his competitor to find out the true nature of the case...We will take a closer look at MBC's
■ The second true story: Please remember the day she disappeared
On June 29, 1995, Hong Young-hee's daughter Lee Kyung-sun went to work as usual, but was unable to return home due to an accident. On the same day, Jin Ok-ja also lost her lovely daughter in the same accident. Thirty years after the accident, the two still meet every week to share each other's pain, so what happened to them?
▶ The Collapsed Department Store and Missing Daughters
The accident that happened to the two daughters was the collapse of Sampoong Department Store in 1995, which left the nation in sorrow. Thirty years ago, the department store in the middle of downtown Seoul collapsed, leaving countless lives trapped in the rubble, and the two daughters also failed to return to their family's arms. Not long after the disaster, however, the rubble of the building where the missing persons were located was moved to Nanjido, a landfill. At that time, Hong Young-hee and Jin Ok-ja searched the rubble directly on Nanjido Island and tried to find even part of the remains, but eventually found no traces of their daughters. Thirty-two victims of the Sampoong Department Store collapse were unable to find their remains.
▶ the small wishes of the bereaved families of the undiscovered
The memorial tower for the victims of the collapse of Sampoong Department Store was built in Yangjae-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, not the site of the 1997 disaster. However, the two mothers believe that the souls of unidentified undiscovered people are staying at Noeul Park, which was a landfill in Nanjido Island in the past. Those who are worried that the Sampoong disaster will be forgotten over the years say there is a wind in Seoul, so what is the wind?
The story of the bereaved family of the collapse of Sampoong Department Store, who still retains their pain, saying that 30 years after the disaster, is likely to return, will be told on MBC's "Real Story Exploration Team," which airs at 9 p.m. today (17th).
