It seems like two stories thrown together that don't have much to do with the other. Like if Mr. Song had told the girl something from the Bible that had to do with gossiping, that would have made sense, and fit with the rest of it, but I guess that would be too much to ask for from one of these.
And I don't get the whole thing with the father either. Maybe Judy was keeping him in hiding because he was AWOL?
