In the show "My Precious Child," Geumjok revealed an obsession with the number '10' following his fixation on scores.
On the 4th, Channel A's "Yoosum Parenting - My Precious Child" aired a story about a first-grade son suffering from a '100-point obsession.'
On that day, Geumjok began to throw a fit after losing repeatedly in game competitions with his family. He cried out, "I didn't score at all," and "We have to keep playing until I win."
Moreover, while studying math with his mother, Geumjok got upset when he got his first wrong answer, saying, "Why did I get that wrong?" and "It's 100 points. I won't do this calculation," as he stormed off. Even though he only got one problem wrong, Geumjok insisted, "I'm 100 points. It has to be 100 points."
Eventually, he insisted that the wrong answer be completely erased, and his mother reluctantly erased it carefully with an eraser. Nevertheless, Geumjok claimed, "Be thorough. Erase it more carefully. I have to have 100 points no matter what."
Dr. Oh Eun-young noted, "Geumjok seems to be afraid of failing or making mistakes. In this situation, he always gets angry," adding, "The most important point is that he has a particularly weak inner strength to handle failure. Therefore, even when faced with failure, he tends to give up or not attempt it."
She continued, "He needs to encounter various new things and grow, but he avoids challenges because he is afraid of failing in advance. That is the biggest problem."
Geumjok also exhibited obsessive symptoms regarding the number '10.' Insisting that he must fill ten, while eating two snacks, he whined, "I need to eat 10 snacks. I have to eat 8 more. Just 8 more, please. Otherwise, I will have to eat 10 more later."
He even said things like, "I have to eat 8 within 10 seconds, I need to open my belly and take it out." Geumjok's grandmother explained, "It seems that the number 10 has been in his mind since some point. It hasn't been that way from the beginning. He seems to have set a number and is moving and obsessing about it."
Geumjok showed an obsession with the number 10 even in daily life. Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzed, "I thought about what '10' means; we use a decimal system, right? 10 is the most complete number, and at the age of first grade, 10 seems to be the most complete number."
She further explained, "He tries to calm down by talking about '10.' He feels 'thankful' only when he fills 10. He aims to finish it. The number obsession is a kind of anxiety. He has to fulfill this, but it's somewhat reassuring, so ultimately, for this child, 10 seems to be a number that fills his heart completely. It seems he has firmly decided it for himself."
