The Real Life Squid Game — The Brothers’ Home Scandal

In this chilling episode of T&E with the Tea, we dive into a real-life horror story that eerily mirrors the hit show Squid Game. But this isn’t fiction.

We take you inside the disturbing history of The Brothers’ Home—a so-called “welfare center” in South Korea during the 1970s and ’80s that secretly held over 4,000 people against their will. From children to the homeless, thousands were tortured, abused, and forced into brutal labor... and almost no one knew.

In this episode, we cover:

🔍 The disturbing similarities between Squid Game and The Brothers' Home
📜 The truth behind this government-backed facility
💔 Firsthand survivor stories and long-suppressed reports
⚖️ How this case stayed hidden for decades—and why people are still seeking justice

Tere unpacks the dark history while Edwin reacts in disbelief. Buckle up—this one is intense.
