Last episode, Mr. Huh admitted that he, too, was following Shaman Kim’s orders early on before deciding that she was a scam artist.

Shaman Kim told the couple to sell their houses because their family was after their money.

Shaman Kim then went around with Lee Jung Hee to various real estate offices to sell their properties.

Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 2.50.16 PM

Since the properties were under Lee Jung Hee’s former husband Mr. Huh’s name, many real estate agents wanted to meet Mr. Huh in person or talk to him on the phone.

Real Estate Agent: “I told her (Lee Jung Hee) that her husband had to come. But she kept insisting that he was busy. Whatever he was doing”

Lee Jung Hee then transferred all of Mr. Huh’s properties under her name in order to sell the properties.

Despite hundreds of thousands of dollars the couple had to pay in taxes, she continued to change the name to her own name.

Then Lee Jung Hee went on to sell the properties including two houses and estates.

The victims claimed that Shaman Kim would refer to her God as “grandfather” to give them orders. The followers of Shaman Kim all believed in the existence of their God who is referred to as “grandfather” in Korean. Shaman Kim would give them instructions on what to do by claiming that the instructions are the grandfather’s ways. One closed down his successful business because Shaman Kim told them that the grandfather had other intentions for him. Then, she asked for large sums of money in order to “bless” the victim’s family.

The day before the airing of the first episode of the documentary, Lee Jung Hee visited the station again.

Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 3.04.42 PM

She insisted that the airing of the episode to be stopped. Confused, the producers of the documentary asked why she would want the episode not to be aired when she was the one who initially wanted exposure of the case in the first place. Lee Jung Hee kept insisting that the episode was targeting Shaman Kim who has nothing to do with this case.

Even when she was leaving, she begged the producer at the door to leave Shaman Kim out of the episode.

Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 6.01.50 PM

The next day, Shaman Kim herself visited the station as well.

She first insisted that the camera not shoot her face “because the younger sons will be shocked to see [her] and that they will be uncomfortable.”

Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 6.01.35 PM

Shaman Kim tried to explain that she had no involvement in this case whatsoever. She also claimed that she didn’t and still doesn’t know anything about the case but just wants what is best for Lee Jung Hee and her two sons.

She insisted that if she had anything to hide, she wouldn’t have come in to talk in the first place.

Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 3.06.15 PM

However, a series of texts revealed by the producers of We Want To Know The Truth told otherwise. During meetings with various media and the producers of We Want To Know The Truth, Shaman Kim was revealed to have continued to stay in contact with Lee Jung Hee. In various texts, it was actually revealed that Shaman Kim was telling Lee Jung Hee what to do.

Translation:

Lee Jung Hee: “We are in Cheongju. I have a microphone on me so I can’t call you at the moment.”

Lee Jung Hee: “I’ll call you after everything ends.”

Shaman Kim: “He says, ‘Don’t trust anyone and confidently go through with the investigation.'”

Shaman Kim: “That is what grandfather said.”

Lee Jung Hee: “Everything ended. We are waiting to sign the last papers.”

Shaman Kim: “Don’t think about anything but saving your children. Do whatever you must.”

Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 3.06.30 PM

The police also have found evidence on various phone calls and messages that Shaman Kim was directly instructing the younger son and Lee Jung Hee what to do.

The documentary ended with the host stating that the truth behind Shaman Kim must be revealed so there won’t be any future victims. Lee Jung Hee and her two sons are currently receiving proper treatment. Lee Jung Hee’s sister is taking care of the sons by visiting their facilities although they seem to be very hostile towards her. In the very last scene of the episode, Lee Jung Hee’s sister was seen walking out of the facility telling the producers that the sons have just started to open up and hopes that they can recover from such trauma.
