“My wife’s dedication for 36 years… Robert Harley, the truth behind ‘I can’t divorce for fear of dying’”
MBN’s secret story show Dongchimi once again made a deep impact.
In the episode aired on the 16th, Robert Harley shared a touching story, expressing his gratitude to his wife Myeong Hyun-sook, who stayed by his side even through his illness and financial difficulties. In particular, in the theme of ‘If you do one more accident, it’s over!’, his atonement and sincerity toward his family were revealed, leaving a deep impression.
“Fighting with neurological cancer and economic ruin… “A wife’s dedication amid endless hardships” Robert Harley honestly confessed on the day’s broadcast about his struggle with neurological cancer and the financial difficulties caused by his hiatus from broadcast appearances. “All of a sudden all the inflammation came into my body. He confessed, “I was diagnosed with nerve cancer after developing nerve problems,” and recalled a time in the past when his income was cut off overnight due to the cessation of broadcasting activities, and his life was ruined by advertising penalties, attorney fees, and hospital expenses.
In particular, he talked about how his wife did her best to protect the family even in difficult situations, saying, “She told me not to turn on the air conditioner and not to ride in the car. “I was told not to even eat fast food,” he said, conveying his hardships at the time. When MC Choi Eun-kyung asked, “Did you feel like it was abusive?” he responded, “It just drove me crazy. “But it was all true,” he added with a smile.
“My eldest son’s words protected the family.”
Along with the sincerity of his wife Myeong Hyun-sook, another touching point of the day’s broadcast was the persuasion of his eldest son. Myeong Hyeon-sook said, “One time, I got so angry that I decided to divorce. But my eldest son called me and said, ‘Mom, don’t divorce Dad. “Think about what a great person your dad has been all these years,’” he said. This one word became the opportunity for Robert Harley and Myung Hyun-sook to continue their married life for 36 years. “I atone for my wife every day… ‘I’ll do whatever you want until I die.’”
Robert Harley once again expressed his regret and gratitude to his wife by revealing an episode in which he worked part-time as a delivery worker despite financial difficulties. But his wife stopped him from even doing that, saying, “Don’t get sick.” He said, “I live apologizing to my wife every day. “I will do whatever you want until I die,” he said, giving a glimpse into his feelings for his wife.
“A family we have maintained for 36 years, a promise for the future”
This day’s broadcast went beyond a simple story and was a time to awaken the meaning of family and the depth of love. The sincerity shown by Robert Harley and Myung Hyun-sook resonated deeply with viewers and made them think again about devotion and forgiveness in married life.
The story of two people who protected each other despite many difficulties during their 36 years of marriage left a message that goes beyond a simple confession. Robert Harley ended the broadcast by promising, “I will do my best for my wife and family in the future.”
