In a shocking revelation on MBN's "High School Mom and Dad 5," a student named Anong shared her harrowing story of becoming a single mother while studying abroad in South Korea.
After arriving in South Korea as an exchange student in 2021, Anong found herself trapped in a nightmarish situation with a manager who took control of her passport and finances. Despite initially attending university and working in a factory, she endured physical and emotional abuse, racking up debt for room and board. Amid the chaos, the manager forcibly got her drunk and impregnated her, leading to a dramatic escape attempt when Anong seized the opportunity to flee while he was intoxicated.
This gripping tale left viewers and fellow cast members shocked, with remarks likening her experience to a movie plot. The emotional weight of her story not only highlights the vulnerabilities of international students but also raises awareness about hidden abuses. As Anong's journey unfolds, it poses critical questions about support systems for foreign students in Korea.
