The shocking past of 'MZ Shaman' Noh Seulbi, who is showing outstanding fortune-telling skills on Disney+ 'Battle of Fates 49,' is breaking the viewers' hearts as its being revisited.

Recently on 'Battle of Fates 49,' Noh Seulbi drew attention for her remarkable abilities, including being able to accurately guess the cause of death by only using the birth dates of the deceased with no ritual tools at all. However, behind her extraordinary spiritual power, there was a tragic pain she had to endure at the young age of 19.

According to what she previously revealed on MBN's 'Teenage Parents' and Channel S' 'Sisters Attack,' Noh Seulbi suffered from school violence and domestic abuse during her high school days. At the time, she met a man who offered her free face readings through the internet. The man, who was also a shaman, manipulated the 19-year-old Noh Seulbi by gaslighting her, saying, "If you don't marry me, your father will kill you." This led her to run away from home and start living together with him.

Even more shocking was the man's cruel behavior. He claimed to be infertile and refused using protection, which led to Noh Seulbi becoming pregnant against her will. After she gave birth, their relationship fell apart because he cheated on her and was abusive. It was even revealed that after their divorce, he called her and demanded her to report their daughter to be dead, an inhumane request that shocked both the cast and viewers.

Eventually, Noh Seulbi stood on her own while raising her daughter, Da-on. Later, she received a 'divine calling' and became a shaman. Overcoming her painful past and standing strong for the sake of her daughter, Noh Seulbi is now starting a new chapter in her life as a 'skilled shaman' participating in a shaman survival show. Additionally, in the episode set to be released on the 18th, the show teases a forbidden match where shamans read each other's fates, drawing attention to the next miracle she will show.

In the video, Tzuyu performed powerful choreography in a short bodysuit and fur boots. An international fan commented, "I really hate Korea's beauty standards. Skinny legs? That's ridiculous. We need more female idols like Tzuyu," criticizing Korea's strict beauty standards.
