Hwang Hana is reportedly acquainted with an infamous drug king pin.
According to SBS' 'I want to Know [Gal]', the Gyeongnam Police Agency arrested a young man in his 20's "Lee" nicknamed 'Vatican' earlier this year that runs Telegram chatroom drug store 'Vatican Kingdom' who's members were also arrested by police.
Earlier in September last year, "I Want to Know" aired an episode titled "Telegram Drug King - Who owns the world" and revealed drug king pin Park Wang-yeol who was behind a famous Telegram drug market at the time. Park was also a suspect in a murder at a sugar cane field in the Philippines. Another Telegram drug store Park Wang Yeol used to distribute drugs was 'Vatican Kingdom.'
Shortly after Hwang Hana's husband, Oh (from third-generation chaebol family) passed away from suicide, production team of 'I want to Know' obtained 50 voice files that revealed relationship between Oh and another acquaintance, Nam, who is currently in critical condition after an attempted suicide. During their conversations, the name of the Telegram drug king 'Vatican' appeared.
However, during investigations, Nam's family claimed their son is not related to 'Vatican Kingdom' but he was rather a victim of the gang. Hwang Hana's family also refuted claims that she's related to the Vatican, claiming that she was kidnapped by the gang.
An informant that was with the drug king pin 'Vatican' at the time of his arrest earlier this year met with production team member of 'I want to Know' and revealed that "at the time of his arrest, drug king pin Vatican went to a hotel to meet Hwang Hana. The drug king also sent a letter to Lee, who took over leading the 'Vatican Kingdom' drug ring when 'Vatican' went to prison." The production team were able to obtain and read the letter and were in "shock" over its contents.
The full episode of 'I want to Know' is scheduled to air on SBS on the 6th.
