When her brother and sister decided to live with their grandparents after finding out their mother killed herself because of their father's affairs, Eun Hye-kyeong created an exaggerated situation in hopes of living with her father again.

Eun Hye-kyeong asked her aunt for money and borrowed Park Bok-nyeo to kidnap her for five hours. When she disappeared, everyone started looking for her.

However, she was found on the edge of the roof with a message that said, "I will kill her if you don't reconcile". She then fell off the roof accidentally but housekeeper Park Bok-nyeo caught her from below.

Eun Hye-kyeong ran to her father after the commotion but Eun Sang-cheol slapped her instead and warned her never to do that again. When she said she loved him and asked him if he loved her too, he didn't say anything.

He had been violent to his daughter who had caused something big because of a situation her father had made in the beginning.

Netizens say, "It was a little harsh to a 7-year-old", "It doesn't make sense that he should hit such a young girl", "What's with the father who doesn't tell her back that he loves her?" and more.
