Actor Sun Woo-yong-yeo revealed the story of being scammed by a fake monk in the past.
On the 25th, the YouTube channel 'Sunpung Sun Woo-yong-yeo' uploaded a video titled "82-year-old Sun Woo-yong-yeo (shocking) had all his jewelry taken away by a monk, worth the price of a house."
In the released video, Sun Woo-yong-yeo is shown talking about the jewelry and ornaments he had saved over his lifetime.

The production team said, "Whenever we see you, you always finish your fashion with a brooch," and Sun Woo-yong-yeo replied, "When I was young, I wasn't interested in such things. I didn't even have time to worry about clothes or brooches. My husband gave me so many ornaments. He gave me enough to buy a house." This surprised everyone.
He continued, "I gave it all to a fake monk. The fake monk came to my house, placed the ornaments he received on top of rice, and said, 'This will remove my husband's bad luck.' So I forgot about it all."
Sun Woo-yong-yeo recalled the encounter with the fake monk: "At first, he came to our house and said there would be misfortune in the household. But my mother said, 'There are many fake monks, so don't let him into the house,' and we only gave him rice and sent him away. Then he came again, and we gave him money and sent him off. But on the third visit, he insisted we must pray and go to the room. So we brought him to the master bedroom, and he said we had to bring rice and water and place all the ornaments he received on top. He said that would remove bad luck."
Afterward, the fake monk put the ornaments in a white envelope, asked Sun Woo-yong-yeo to bring salt, and then calmly left the house. Later, Sun Woo-yong-yeo took out the white envelope, but the ornaments were all gone, and only rice remained.
Sun Woo-yong-yeo said, "I called my husband and told him everything was gone. He told me, 'You're as sick as a dog, taking that.' I was angrier that my husband said that than that the ornaments were gone. I cried uncontrollably."
He added, "At that time, my husband had many connections, so he spoke to the Ministry of Interior's office. The police chief came and said, 'Even if we find him, they'll just swap the settings and you won't be able to find them. I'm sorry.' Still, we asked him to catch the person. About six or eight months later, my husband happened to see the person while driving and caught him. I was shocked when I saw that person. I went to find the fence, but he was living in such poor conditions and was already in prison, so my husband just came back."
