Viewers have poured out criticism over psychiatrist Oh Jin-seung's excessive lies.
On the 27th episode of SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny', psychiatrist Oh Jin-seung and former KBS announcer Kim Do-yeon appeared and revealed their daily life.
That day's guest DinDin revealed his closeness with Oh Jin-seung. He said "I did radio with him for about two years and got close, and I also have panic attacks so I went to the doctor's place and got a lot better. And I was the master of ceremonies at the wedding. We're very close," he said.
Later, an interview with the production team of Oh Jin-seung and Kim Do-yeon was revealed, and Oh Jin-seung said, "Actually, many people only know that I am a psychiatrist, but this is something I only say on broadcasts, so if I share one secret: as many viewers may already know, Dr. Oh Eun-young is my aunt," surprising everyone.
The panelists said, "Really?" in disbelief, and even DinDin, who was close to him, said, "I didn't know," sounding flustered. Kim Gu-ra asked, "Is she your father's sister?" and Oh Jin-seung nodded, saying, "Yes." He said, "My aunt is on broadcasts a lot. So she gives me a lot of good personal advice in private. When we meet during Lunar New Year, she even gives things like New Year's money. I'm very grateful," he said earnestly.
In response, Jo Woo-jong reacted as if hearing it for the first time, saying, "He talks about it. He's not talked about it for four years," and Seo Jang-hoon said, "No wonder it felt strange. Earlier, when I saw him sitting next to Dr. Oh Eun-young, I thought, 'There is no reason to sit like that next to her, so why is he sitting there?,'" he said. Kim Sook chimed in, "No wonder their mouths look alike."
Moreover, Oh Jin-seung revealed, "I often hear that these days. Many say I resemble actor Oh Jung-se, but actor Oh Jung-se is my cousin older brother," causing another shock. Lee Hyun-yi and Lee Ji-hye responded, "They look alike," "It's in the face," and when DinDin was asked, "Did you know?" he said, "I didn't know," but added in puzzlement, "When I see that, my mouth itches; I'm not someone who wouldn't say it, am I?"
Amid this, Oh Jin-seung said, "My aunt and cousin brother are amazing. Still, I feel the blood of the Boseong Oh clan is flowing in me, so I try hard not to lose," he said. Sensing something, Seo Jang-hoon asked, "Does that mean actor Oh Jung-se would become Dr. Oh Eun-young's nephew?" and Oh Jin-seung immediately replied, "Yes." Seo Jang-hoon said, "I've never heard that before?" in doubt, but Oh Jin-seung said, "They are famous and I'm not," he said.
Kim Gu-ra said, "He really must want to become a star," and Lee Ji-hye marveled, "He revealed all his blood relations." Seo Jang-hoon asked, "Did both of them come to the wedding?" and Oh Jin-seung said, "Only Oh Jung-se came."
But these remarks by Oh Jin-seung were all lies. In a subsequent interview, while listening to Oh Jin-seung's claim that they do not fight as a couple, his wife Kim Do-yeon pointed out, "No, I wasn't trying to butt in when someone else was speaking; I was trying to hold back, but he tells so many lies with no purpose that it really annoys me."
She rebutted, "Did he say we never fought? We fought last week. When we were dating, it was a fiery relationship. We broke up three times while dating, met again a fourth time and then got married," and when Oh Jin-seung said, "We haven't really fought much since getting married, have we?" she retorted, "Didn't we almost get divorced when we went to Gyeongju in the spring?"
Kim Do-yeon then said, "I feel like I should speak up to protect my husband. People lie with a purpose to swindle someone, but he lies with no purpose; lying itself is his hobby," and Kim Sook anxiously asked, "Wasn't the story about Dr. Oh Eun-young a lie too?" As expected, Kim Do-yeon said, "He often lies that he's close with famous people around him. First of all, he is not blood-related to Oh Jung-se or Dr. Oh Eun-young. They have no relation at all," which threw the studio into an uproar.
Jo Woo-jong jumped to his feet and shouted, "Man, he's a real con man!" and Lee Ji-hye said in astonishment, "I've never seen someone like this!" Lee Hyun-yi waved her hand and said, "We can't record today!" and Lee Ji-hye asked, "Is it okay to lie like this on public broadcast?" Seo Jang-hoon said, "I thought something was off," and Kim Sook pressed, "Is it also a lie that only one person came to the wedding?" In response, Oh Jin-seung admitted, "I've never met them," confessing that he had no acquaintance with either Oh Jung-se or Dr. Oh Eun-young.
DinDin said in disbelief, "The reporters have probably already written articles. It's probably already uploaded. Why lie?" and Lee Ji-hye wondered, "Since he's a psychiatrist, can he analyze himself? Why is he doing that?" Oh Jin-seung confessed, "I've thought about it a lot. Why is it? I think I do it because I want attention, because I want to be noticed," and Lee Hyun-yi reacted, "Usually that happens until about age 7, doesn't it?" DinDin also shot back, "At this level, shouldn't he go to a hospital?"
Oh Jin-seung said, "It's more for fun than to harm others," but Lee Ji-hye countered, "Sorry, it wasn't funny at all," and Jo Woo-jong also expressed a sense of betrayal, saying, "There is psychological harm. I can't trust the world!" Oh Jin-seung awkwardly said, "Maybe I'm the only one who finds it funny." Eventually Kim Gu-ra tried to calm the situation, saying, "The doctor looks very sorry, so let's stop at this point," but afterwards, in the revealed daily life, Oh Jin-seung drew criticism for repeatedly lying to the point that even his wife Kim Do-yeon became exhausted.
After the broadcast was released, viewers also launched a torrent of criticism. Some netizens raised trust issues, saying, "Is that a joke?", "A psychiatrist lies on a broadcast for fun?", "He needs treatment for pathological lying," and some criticized the production team of 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', saying, "He doesn't act like that on YouTube; is it a broadcast concept?", "It feels scripted." Nevertheless, the dominant opinion was that, "Even if it's a concept, he crossed the line," and regardless of whether it was scripted, it is problematic that a psychiatrist deceived people on a broadcast by lying.
