'Han-blee' shines a light on a taxi driver who was threatened by a passenger after a minor collision.

In the episode of JTBC's 'Han Moon-chul's Blackbox Review' ('Han-blee'), airing on the 10th, a scene is shown where a taxi reversing lightly collides with a passenger who is getting off. It is revealed that the passenger's companion, who was also on board at the time, pressured the driver by demanding a formal police report.

The production team hears the full story directly from the reporting taxi driver. The whistleblower recalls the careless situation, saying, "I accidentally put the car in reverse because I didn't notice a delivery truck coming toward us."

Concerned about an increase in insurance premiums, the whistleblower, who had repeatedly begged the passenger involved in the collision for leniency, stated, "After exchanging contact information at the scene, I got back into the taxi, but the companion was gone. Then, threats to report it as a hit-and-run continued."

It was revealed that the companion demanded a formal police report due to 'PTSD' caused by the crash noise, sparking public outrage. To add to the shock, the companion even claimed to the driver, who had been waiting to drive them to their destination, "I was threatened and stalked."

As passengers continued to demand a formal police report and persisted in malicious behavior, panelists sighed, "Isn't this extortion and coercion?" In response, lawyer Han Moon-chul noted, "While we cannot definitively call it insurance fraud, it is certainly a subject for investigation," criticizing the companion's excessive claims of victimhood.

Next, the program introduces a ranking of bizarre accidents that occurred while parking.

In this broadcast, a grievous story is revealed where a driver was demanded a settlement of 5 million won simply for lightly touching a parked vehicle. The car owner had only briefly supported the car while managing a building and placed some items on it, yet the car owner claimed there were scratches and demanded a large sum.

Upon hearing the whistleblower's story, the panelists all expressed their indignation, and lawyer Han Moon-chul also mentioned the possibility of legal punishment for the car owner, stating, "If the damage was not severe enough to require actual repairs, it could constitute fraud or extortion."

On this day's broadcast, Jang Ha-oh, the leader of the rookie group AND2BLE, appears as a guest.
