SBS 'I want to know' traces the identity of a monk.
'I want to know that', which will be aired on the 28th, with the subtitle 'My brother's slave diary, Volume 16 - Who is the main character in the diary?'
Kim Sam-soon, a younger brother who ran a daycare center in her own building in the past and lived in harmony with her husband and children.
Even to the older sisters who grew up together, the third Samsun was a proud younger brother.
Sam-soon, who was like that, disappeared in the summer of 2012.
Sadly, in the same year that Sam-soon's husband died in a sudden accident, his younger brother cut ties with his family and suddenly disappeared.
The older sisters worked hard to keep in touch with his younger brother, but the third, Sam-soon, never showed up in front of his family.
Time passed and 15 years passed.
But last year, her older sister suddenly got a call from a stranger that she was carrying her younger brother, Mr. Sam-soon.
The third person we met so warmly, but surprisingly, at that time, Mr. Sam-soon was so thin and shabby that even her sisters did not know who she was.
The sisters who have been wondering what the hell has happened in the past 15 years have a clue that will help them find the answer.
It is a diary written by my brother.
The older sisters who read the diary had no choice but to be surprised once again.
It contained shocking information that I did not want to believe.

The person who appeared in Samsun's diary since 2006.
He was a woman called 'Monk Songhwa'.
She completely captured the heart of her younger brother, Mr. Sam-sun, that her brother Mr. Sam-sun met her by chance.
Monk Songhwa said that she could see through everything about her with her own spirit and often warned Mr. Samsun that bad things were going to happen.
It is said that Samsun's trust in the monk grew as a series of incidents that coincided with the monk's words occurred.
Her husband's car accident in 2012 was also one of the first mentioned by Monk Songhwa.
After her husband's death, Mr. Samsun's faith and dependence on the monk grew uncontrollably.
Her monk's words became her everything in her life.
Her daily routine ended with doing and completing what her monk had asked her to do.
Samsun was doing everything the monk told him to do, such as picking up stones, plowing, driving, and shopping.
Unfortunately, the monk not only told Mr. Samsun to follow him, but also verbally abused him.
Still, she could not leave the monk.
Master Songhwa's incomprehensible behavior did not end there.
The monk made Sam-sun stop running the daycare center and sell the building, but moved him to a shabby house.
And he made her cut ties with her family by threatening that if they didn't let them go they would die.
She said that she was originally making art and that she prayed at the university pulpit, and that she had no choice but to make a pilgrimage to her home after a mountain god who had given her powers to her.
What on earth made Mr. Samsun become a monk's puppet?
As the production crew of 'I Want to Know That' reported, Samsun was not the only believer who blindly believed in Monk Songhwa.
The monk also said that he could earn a lot of money by utilizing his magical abilities and excellent personal connections.
Her business, which she recommended to her followers, is the pine seedling business.
She paid her a pine tree price and planted and nurtured the seedlings, so she could receive a bid for a landscaping tree in public institutions, etc. through her personal network, so it was an invitation to invest.
She even mentioned the real names of her celebrities that monks were behind her, and people believed them.
But so far, no one seems to have made a profit.
It is said that the money Samsun brought to the monk for 15 years alone, including the investment in the pine seedling business, is more than 1.6 billion won.
Her older sisters think there must be more undisclosed amounts of damage.
Sam-soon, who is recovering from meeting her sisters, is suing the monk for fraud.
The production team traced the identity of Monk Songhwa, whom the followers believed like a rock.
After graduating from a prestigious university and working as a teacher, he meets a teacher by chance and is a Buddhist monk. He sees everything because of the mountain god he worships, and because of that ability, he even visits celebrities in the political and business world.
Her crew met her by asking people who knew her.
She also inquired about the temple where she had been training for 10 years from the school where she had been a monk, and the sect that her monk's teacher belonged to.
But during her coverage, she heard a surprising story from the village where a monk lived in her past.
Based on the 16 diaries written by Mr. Samsun over the past 15 years, we will examine how she, who lived an infinitely ordinary and even modest life, came to live a completely different life, and trace the truth of Samsun's relationship with a monk. I want to know that' will be broadcast at 11:10 pm on the 28th.
