Tonight (4th) at 10:50 p.m. on MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell,' a couple is seeking Dr. Oh Eun-young after finding themselves in extreme situations marked by identical fighting patterns every day, ultimately reconciling afterward.
The couple, who have been married for less than a year, consists of a 33-year-old husband and a 22-year-old wife, who reminisces about their dating days, noting that the first phone call, during which they had never seen each other, led the wife to propose dating. This revelation shocks the studio. She reveals that shortly after they began dating, she suggested registering their marriage, and her husband admitted that he only thought about it for '5 minutes' before consenting, leaving Dr. Oh Eun-young in shock.
Despite marrying at such high speed, the couple now feels that every day is hell. When trivial matters lead to fights, they have difficulty managing their emotions, resulting in violent situations involving insults and throwing objects. In fact, throughout the daily observational filming, the couple repeatedly went through extreme fights and reconciliations, even leading to situations that posed safety threats, prompting the production team to intervene urgently and halt filming twice.
Moreover, even after filming concluded, the couple reportedly contacted the production team almost every night until the recording date, stating, 'We just had a big fight and we are going to divorce.' Why do they repeat the same fighting pattern over trivial matters?
On the broadcast that day, serious problems between the couple, as extreme as their fights, were discovered. In the released daily video, the husband prepares kimchi stew for lunch. However, while adding ingredients to the pot, he suddenly heads to the bathroom, retrieves a container of kimchi, and shocks everyone in the studio. As the MCs react in astonishment, the wife asks her husband, 'Is it illegal to keep the kimchi container in the bathroom?' causing further shock.
The couple's problems don't stop there. Late at night, they repeatedly check their bank account, and as soon as 750,000 won in basic living assistance is deposited in the wife's name, they rush to an ATM at a convenience store, withdrawing 700,000 won after deducting 50,000 won for bills.
They then split the withdrawn amount evenly at 350,000 won each, and the following day, they spend around 100,000 won on dining out, karaoke, and laundry services within a single day. The husband even reveals that when he was younger, he bought two cars and took out loans for living expenses, currently owing 30 million won and 15 million won, and his mobile phone bill is also 7 million won overdue, leaving everyone speechless. The wife similarly admits to being behind on her mobile phone bill due to small payments, confessing that she did not realize the small payments would be added to her phone bill, once again leaving everyone at a loss for words.
Concerned about the couple's shocking financial and hygiene conditions, Dr. Oh Eun-young notes, 'I feel that I need to teach them step by step,' feeling a weight on her shoulders. Can the couple recover their basic daily life with Dr. Oh Eun-young's advice?
The story of a couple endlessly repeating the same fighting and reconciling patterns like a Möbius strip can be seen on 'Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell' on Monday, Aug. 4, at 10:50 p.m.
