The story of a wife who became obsessed with “ghost sex” with her deceased ex-boyfriend and even tried to get pregnant shocked viewers.
On the 22nd, Channel A‘s Detectives’ Trade Secrets aired a reenactment segment featuring a newlywed husband in his fifth month of marriage who suspects his wife is having an affair.
The client, a university adjunct lecturer, avoided intimacy after their wedding because he wanted to have children once their life was more stable, unlike his wife who wanted to conceive immediately. Later, the wife began going out day and night, using mother-in-law’s illness as an excuse, frequently withdrawing large sums of cash and visiting motels.
When signs of pregnancy test usage were found in the motel room’s trash can, suspicions of infidelity grew uncontrollably. The wife admitted to having an affair and informed the client she wanted a divorce. She was even seen visiting an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, intensifying doubts that she might be pregnant with another man’s child.
However, it was revealed that the wife suffered from schizophrenia. She hurried to become pregnant out of fear that her husband might leave her, and when she stopped taking her medication to conceive, hallucinations began.
The couple lived in motels for two months due to delays in their newlywed home’s interior renovations. During that time, the wife began seeing her deceased ex-boyfriend in the motel room, becoming addicted to ghost sex, which led her to lie and visit motels. It was also uncovered that she spent millions of won on bizarre rituals from fake shamans who claimed she could become pregnant by a ghost.
Watching this story, actress Yoo In Na tearfully said, “I wanted to comfort a wife who was anxious that her husband might leave.” The client blamed himself, saying, “It’s my fault for failing to give her confidence.” He decided to start her treatment and work on mending their relationship.
