Super Junior's Shindong shocked viewers by confessing his painful story of coming from a family of shamans and severing ties with his parents.
In the 8th episode of the Disney+ original variety show 'Destiny War 49', released on the 25th, the cast faced their destinies. On this day, fortune teller Seolhwa overwhelmed the scene by asking Shindong, "Isn't there a shaman grandmother in your family?" as soon as she met him.
Seolhwa analyzed that while Shindong is not at the level of receiving a divine calling, the energy of his shaman grandmother is very strong and influences him. Fellow cast member Jeon Hyun-moo added to the surprise by testifying that "right after Shindong warned a member of a girl group to be careful, a dating rumor actually broke out."
Specific fortune-telling about business luck and health followed. Analyzing that his business luck has opened up since this year, Shindong admitted, "I am currently preparing for an F&B business and reviewing good proposals." However, regarding health, he could not hide his embarrassment at the sharp observation that "there is a family history of brain diseases or dementia," saying, "My grandfather had that."
Above all, what caught the viewers' attention was Shindong's family history. He honestly revealed that he has cut off contact with his parents. The decisive reason was repeated financial issues. Shindong confessed, "Every month, they ask for living expenses as a lump sum, and that money gets lost due to scams or bad investments repeatedly."
Having lost all his assets due to his mother's investment failure in 2015, Shindong expressed a deep longing for a happy family since childhood due to this deficiency, revealing his earnest desire for marriage, which evoked sympathy.
