Woman adopts lover as 'son,' continues affair, daughter-in-law uncovers plot

A shocking case has emerged in South Korea where a woman, after adopting her husband's lover, a man 25 years her junior, as her 'adopted son,' secretly continued an affair with him. The deception was uncovered by the woman's daughter-in-law, who grew suspicious of her husband's younger brother.

The daughter-in-law, a flight attendant married for six months, reported her discomfort to investigators, stating, "The younger brother-in-law seems to see me as a woman." Her suspicions intensified after her husband's birthday gathering with his mother and younger brother. The following day, her uniform mysteriously disappeared. Recalling that her brother-in-law had entered her room the previous day, she suspected him of theft and sought an investigation.

The investigation revealed a deeply disturbing truth: the man considered her 'younger brother-in-law' was not her husband's biological sibling but an adopted son, legally brought into the family three years prior. The revelation that the woman and her 'adopted son' were, in fact, lovers sent shockwaves through those involved.

Further complicating the situation, the adopted son had a history of fraud and had been in and out of prison. He had conspired with his lover (the adoptive mother) and others to embezzle hundreds of millions of won from her under the guise of investment. Meanwhile, the adoptive mother was secretly consulting lawyers to transfer her property to the adopted son, all while keeping her husband and daughter-in-law in the dark.

The adoptive mother first met the adopted son during volunteer work at a prison. She was drawn to him because he shared the same name as her deceased second son and had a similar mole on his collarbone. After his release, he contacted her, and their relationship evolved into a romantic one, despite the significant age difference. To live openly with him, she proposed they live as mother and son publicly but as husband and wife privately. The adopted son, motivated by her wealth, accepted. The affair escalated to the point where the adoptive mother stole her daughter-in-law's uniform to wear on secret dates with her lover, who had once commented on how pretty she looked in it. Upon discovering the full extent of the deception, the daughter-in-law and her husband severed ties with their mother. The adoptive mother continues to live with the adopted son, maintaining their dual roles as mother and lover.
