The MBC program Oh Eun-young Report: Marriage Hell (hereinafter "Marriage Hell"), which airs on the 20th, will feature a "parental leave couple" in which the husband is on parental leave for the first time in the show's history, drawing attention. The husband pleads, "I desperately want to return to work," but the wife does not want him to return. What is the story behind this "parental leave couple"?
The husband of the "parental leave couple" is on his 20th month of parental leave and is solely responsible for raising the couple's three children and managing the household. From morning he takes care of the three children and spends the day without a break because of housework. The husband opens up, "Childcare is harder than work. My wife asked me to take about six years of parental leave," and then laments, "I want to work. I really desperately want to return to work."
The couple reportedly has 150 million won in debt. They confess that they pay more than 2 million won a month in interest alone, which evokes sympathy. Nevertheless, the wife strongly opposes the husband's return to work, drawing attention to her reasons. What is the story behind the unmanageable debt of the "parental leave couple"? Why does the wife insist she will not work full time with her husband despite living with a negative bank balance? Viewers will be curious to find out.
Moreover, the wife says she is psychologically unstable and explains she visited Dr. Oh Eun-young because "if things get any worse from here, I think I would have bad thoughts." She confesses, "I'm working as if my life depends on it," and says she feels shabby, which is distressing. In particular, the wife shows signs of anxiety, saying, "When I come home from work my head is buzzing. The moment I hear the children's voices I feel like my head will explode."
Why has the wife of the "parental leave couple" been driven to the brink? What happened to the "parental leave couple"? The story will be revealed on MBC's Oh Eun-young Report: Marriage Hell, airing at 10:50 p.m. on the 20th.
