During the conversation, host Jonathan mentioned Jo Bo Ah’s nickname, “sympathy fairy,” bringing up the incident of her home break-in. “You were robbed, but sympathized with the robber?” he asked, bewildered.

Jo Bo Ah then shared the whole story, explaining that the incident happened when she was around 7-8 years old. “They took all my mom’s valuables,” she recalled.

“It’s so horrifying to think about now,” she added, “but at that time, that’s what I thought.”

The hosts then teased Jo Bo Ah, asking if she would like the robber to be better off now. She responded with a wholesome answer, saying that she hoped they had realized their mistake and mended their ways.
