'The Same Bed, Different Dreams 2' continues to see mixed reactions from internet users to psychiatrist Oh Jin-seung.
Psychiatrist Oh Jin-seung stirred the studio with a series of false statements on the Jan. 27 broadcast of SBS' 'The Same Bed, Different Dreams 2.' As a medical creator with an overwhelming influence of 1.41 million YouTube subscribers, by subscriber count he surpasses Dr. Oh Eun-young (570,000 subscribers).
Because of this, Oh Jin-seung, who is called the 'male Oh Eun-young,' claimed on the program for the first time, "Dr. Oh Eun-young is my aunt." He said his father's younger sister is Oh Eun-young. He emphasized, "She does not hesitate to give advice in private. She even gives sebae money on Lunar New Year," and the cast reacted with surprise, saying, "Their mouths look similar," and "Their lower jaws resemble each other."
It did not end there. Oh Jin-seung continued his revelations, saying, "People say I resemble actor Oh Jung-se, but he's actually my cousin," and even boasted, "What an amazing cousin, what an amazing aunt. The blood of the Boseong Oh clan runs in me."
But the mood quickly reversed. His wife, Kim Do-yeon, exposed, "My husband treats lying as a hobby. He claims friendships with celebrities. He has no relationship whatsoever with Oh Jung-se or Oh Eun-young." The cast, shocked, said, "Isn't this fraud?" and "Can you lie like this on network TV?" expressing their dismay. Oh Jin-seung explained, "I did it to get attention. I didn't think it hurt anyone," but he was met with criticism such as "Not funny at all" and "He should go to a hospital." He hung his head, saying, "I must have been the only one who thought it was funny."
After that, the couple's revelations continued, producing an awkwardly funny scene with lines like "He lies every time he opens his mouth" and "His claim that he did it to get attention from his wife is also a lie." In the end, Kim Goo-ra calmed the atmosphere, saying, "Since the guest feels so sorry, let's wrap it up here."
But immediately after the broadcast, opinions online were divided. Internet users said, "It's a variety show; you should laugh that off," "He even admitted it himself. Just take it as entertainment," and "He explained well that he's a attention seeker," while criticism was also strong: "He should formally apologize to Dr. Oh Eun-young and actor Oh Jung-se," "If he did it without prior consent, the parties involved would be embarrassed," and "It's too light a joke for a psychiatrist to make."
Although it was a line aimed at both attention and laughs, all eyes are on how Oh Jin-seung will handle the controversy going forward.
