[MyDaily = Reporter Seo Ki-chan] An unprecedented passion-driven scandal — one that proves reality can be crueller than fiction — has erupted, sparking public outrage.
On the 9th, MBC Every1’s Hidden Eye aired footage showing a brutal brawl among four people in downtown Guangzhou, China.
The video captures a middle-aged couple, their son, and a young woman tangled in a violent confrontation. The clash began after the wife and son confronted the husband about his affair.

The story contained a shocking twist: the woman at the center of the affair was the son’s fiancée.
Host Kim Seong-ju shook his head, calling it “a total mess,” and disclosed that the middle-aged man had been involved with his son's fiancée — a revelation that left the studio stunned.
At the scene, the father reportedly used violence — slapping his son and wife to shield his mistress — which infuriated the son. The son then attacked his father, and the incident escalated into a violent father‑son brawl.
Local outlets ran headlines such as “Father has affair with son's girlfriend... father and son clash in street ambush,” while netizens lamented that the son, who lost both his family and his love, is the most tragic figure in the saga.
First introduction ends in tragedy... the bizarre 'settlement' that followed
The forbidden relationship began after the son introduced his fiancée to the family as the woman he intended to marry.
The father allegedly continued to contact the son's fiancée privately, and that private contact developed into an affair.
The finale to this family-ruining episode was almost surreal. Kim reported that after police mediation, all four parties reached an amicable agreement. “Is that even a settlement?” he asked, highlighting the incredulity and dark irony of the unexpected outcome.
