My biological father, Yoo Incheol, did not have an inappropriate relationship with Yoo Namcheol’s wife. The woman my father loved was not his sister-in-law, Na Eunhye, but the female secretary, Lee Jiwon, whom Yoo Namcheol tried to force into being his mistress.0ff8868364aa39b7

Even if Yoo Incheol had been released in May, the possibility of him eventually dying was not small.
