A woman made an appearance on the 'Ask Anything' show on KBS JOY last Sept 2 to share a troubling tale of manipulation and misfortune.

The woman, who chose to keep her identity hidden, revealed that her own son, who is currently an idol, had his prospects marred by her former husband-- his biological father, who spread untrue rumors about him.

She started by sharing her story of leaving her home 14 years ago with her three kids to get away from a situation at home caused by domestic violence she faced. She then got custody and full rights as a parent after the divorce.

Years later, her son became a TV idol, and then her ex-husband reentered their lives.She mentioned that right before her son was going to sign with an agency on his own accord, her ex-husband stepped in and proposed to handle his career instead.He falsely alleged that the contract was obtained through methods that tarnished her reputation.

"My ex-husband told them I sold my body to the agency's CEO," the woman said.

She continued that he set up a company with their son where he assumed the role of CEO and managed his appointments.The woman disclosed that her ex-husband borrowed sums of money under their son's name under the pretext of business costs.

During the broadcast, segment hosts Seou Jang Hoon and Lee Soong Eun discreetly inquired about the idol's identity on air.

They were taken aback when they heard it since they immediately recognized the singer.

Seo Jang Hoon wondered aloud about the situation; "He wasn't a well-known figure or made much money back then; how did he manage to get loans?"

The woman then shared that her ex-husband borrowed money from fans and relatives.

She went on to narrate an event where her son was found hiding barefoot in a playground, feeling overwhelmed and frightened after being threatened by his father; he called her in a panicked state, expressing exhaustion and fear.

The woman described how her son stayed under his father's influence for eight years out of fear of reprisal.The ex-husband presented himself as a loving dad to the public but has actually ignored their son's welfare even after a vehicle accident by giving more importance to social engagements than medical care.

When her son made the choice to stop pursuing a singing career and joined an agency instead, his father interfered with the new contract by spreading false rumors about debts, which prevented him from appearing on TV shows effectively, reaching an agreement with her ex-husband only when their son was no longer associated with the new agency.

Upon hearing the entire story unfold before him,‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​ Seoh Jangsik recommended that the best action would be to address the matter honestly​​​​.Assuring that honesty would be well received without judgment from others was also extended to the former spouse, along ​​with an invitation to share his side of the story on a public platform.

Here's the video of the full interview:
