"Kimbap hell couple" appeared on 'Oh Eun-young Report: marriage hell,' evoking sympathy.
On the 182nd episode of MBC's Oh Eun-young Report: marriage hell, which aired on the 24th, a wife who works nonstop to support her family and a husband who rarely understands his wife's emotions, nicknamed the "kimbap hell couple," appeared. After the husband's investment fraud and business failure, the wife started a kimbap shop to earn a living, but as she clung to the shop all day and grew exhausted and the husband failed to notice, conflicts continued.
That day the wife showed tears from the start of the recording, saying she could not get through to her husband. When the husband asked the wife, who was resting briefly during the kimbap shop's closing, "Why are you resting? It's not closing yet," the wife's expression hardened.
The wife lamented, "I keep asking for empathy, but since my husband doesn't recognize it, I wonder if I'm a strange person," but the husband said, "I was just curious why you were resting," and could not understand why his wife was angry.
Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzed the husband as "the one person among 100 who doesn't notice the meaning of actions that 99 people would naturally notice," and said he is "someone who understands things exactly as they appear." She added that the husband, raised by a strict father, cannot safely express his thoughts and feelings and communicates in a defensive manner, which added to the sense of regret.
The husband said that in newlywed days he was defrauded of 150 million won in an investment scam by an acquaintance and lost his entire assets, and he also failed in an interior design business. The wife opened a kimbap shop with 50 million won received from her parents-in-law, but facing physical limits she decided to hand over the shop after seven months.
However, the problem was that before discussing specific terms with her husband she already found a new operator and signed a contract written by AI. It was further revealed that the wife was preparing a beef bone soup meal-kit business, which surprised viewers once again.
Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "The wife lacks a systematic process of checking and calculating. On the other hand, her actions are very fast," and advised, "She needs to acknowledge her tendency to constantly start new things."
That day's broadcast also revealed the condition of the "kimbap hell couple"'s home, shocking viewers. The closet was strewn with various items, and dishes used by the two children on weekdays were piled up in the kitchen. A swarm of fruit flies and sprouted potatoes were found, revealing a serious hygiene problem.
The wife said she had no energy for housework on weekdays because she worked from early morning until late at night, and the husband explained he was exhausted from long-distance commuting.
Jang Dong-min pointed out, "Being busy and exhausted are not valid excuses. As a parent raising children, I'm angry." Dr. Oh Eun-young also said, "Maintaining hygiene is more important than making money," and emphasized, "This situation must be fixed for the sake of the children."
Finally, Dr. Oh Eun-young urged the husband to honestly express his thoughts and feelings. She advised the wife to make a plan before acting and suggested that if prioritizing is difficult, she consider receiving treatment. She also said that household chores should be divided concretely between the couple rather than vaguely saying they will do them together.
