The conflict between a gayageum byeongchang wife and her husband, a trot singer of 11 years, will be revealed.
On Monday, May 11, at 10:20 p.m., the 167th episode of MBC's O Eun-young report — marriage hell will portray the story of a workaholic wife and her husband, who resents that she prioritizes work over family, an "out-of-sync couple."
The wife, who works as a gayageum byeongchang performer and instructor, has a glamorous career that includes receiving the presidential award. The workaholic wife, who did not stop working even until she was full-term pregnant, juggles everything from arts high school classes to private lessons and spends days where 24 hours is not enough. The husband, who says he takes on most of the childcare, cleaning and housework, expresses deep hurt, saying, "My wife prioritizes work over family."
The husband keeps calling the wife, who is in the middle of lessons, through their daughter and sends constant messages urging her to come home, creating tension. Even after returning home, the wife cannot rest until late at night because of the children's homework and preparing for the next day's classes. Seeing this, the husband vents, "If you have to work even after coming home, cut back on lessons," and the wife resists, saying it is not easy to reduce classes, deepening the couple's conflict. As their sharp exchanges over each other's words continued, the MCs reportedly expressed their regret.
Watching the footage, Dr. O Eun-young began, "I felt uncomfortable the whole time." She sharply pointed out to the husband, "You have no basic respect for a working wife. The wife is a very lonely person." In response to Dr. O Eun-young's criticism, the husband retorted, "To be honest, I don't understand. I think I'm the one who's miserable," and plunged the studio into shock.
It turned out that the husband is a trot singer of 11 years. The husband said, "After COVID-19, my income was zero for several years. During that time, I virtually handled the childcare for our three daughters alone." He continued, "There was a period when I had no self-esteem at all," and opened up about feelings he had not expressed until now.
Meanwhile, a tragic event that suddenly struck the couple is revealed, evoking sadness. What, then, is the reason Dr. O Eun-young called the wife a "very lonely person"? What was the couple's story that saddened everyone?
Although the husband appealed his pitiable circumstances, counseling expert Dr. O Eun-young instead said to the husband, "I felt uncomfortable the whole time," and "The wife is a very lonely person," drawing attention. Above all, the husband spat out a shocking remark toward his wife, who is focused on lessons: "Don't raise someone else's kids, raise your own," and while pressing so hard for his working wife to come home, he insisted, "I am the one who's pitiful." Interest is growing in what the deep conflict is between the trot singer husband and the workaholic wife.
Meanwhile, Marriage hell recorded a peak rating of 4.0% this year, but recently fell somewhat to the 2% range.
