Tearful Mother Understands Daughter's Flight from Korean Employer, Hopes to Raise 700,000 Baht to Clear Family Debt

A Thai mother in Maha Sarakham province revealed her tearful understanding of her daughter's decision to flee an employer in South Korea and remain there illegally to earn money for the family. The 25-year-old worker, one of six who escaped the E-8 seasonal labor program, cited safety concerns about inappropriate behavior from her single male employer while the family struggles with 700,000 baht in debts. Despite hoping her daughter would return home, the mother acknowledges her critical role in supporting the family during their financial crisis.

5d ago Khaosod

A mother in Maha Sarakham province tearfully explained her daughter's decision to flee an employer in South Korea, revealing the family's desperate financial situation. The young worker, one of six Thai laborers on the E-8 seasonal labor visa program, has remained illegally in South Korea and refuses to return home despite officials' requests. Her daughter told her not to worry, insisting she will work to earn money and support the family, as she sympathizes with her parents' situation.

The main reason for the daughter's escape was safety concerns about her employer's behavior. The single male employer frequently assigned work outside normal duties and once entered her room without notice, frightening her into fleeing.

The family faces severe financial hardship. The father suffers from high blood pressure while the mother has struggled with cerebral artery stenosis for over five years and cannot perform heavy labor. They carry substantial debts, including 470,000 baht to the Government Savings Bank accumulated over more than 10 years, plus an additional 250,000 baht in informal debt. Currently, they can only afford to pay interest.

The daughter previously ran a small plant-growing business that failed due to losses. Her dream was to build a house and return to care for her parents comfortably, but the heavy debt burden drove her to seek work abroad. Though the mother wishes her daughter would return to Thailand immediately, she understands her reasons. The family relies on the daughter as their main pillar of support, so the mother can only hope her daughter stays safe in Korea.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez commented on an incident between teammates Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, alleging that someone within the club leaked the story to media outlets.

Valverde sustained a head injury from the incident and required stitches at a hospital. Real Madrid subsequently issued fines of 500,000 euros each to both players, though Valverde claimed his injury was accidental and that no physical altercation occurred.

Perez stated: "We know who leaked this. Let me handle it myself. What happened is bad, but it's worse when it becomes public. Leaking this is a serious matter. Valverde and Chukamela are friends—these things happen all the time. I've been with this club for 26 seasons and there are player confrontations every year. But there's a snake in the club spreading this information."
