JTBC’s popular program ‘Divorce Consideration Camp’ once again shook home theaters with a shocking story.
In the episode aired on the 21st, a household survey of a six-sister couple called the ‘Instinctive Couple’ was revealed, and their chaotic marriage life was clearly revealed.
Premarital pregnancy between church teacher and 18-year-old student… 12 years of beastly marriage
The story revealed on the broadcast that day was shocking. The wife confessed that she married her husband, who was 10 years older than her and was a church teacher when she was a high school student, through premarital pregnancy, and is now in her 12th year of marriage. When it was revealed that her husband was a church teacher, MC Seo Jang-hoon was speechless and expressed his anger.
Seo Jang-hoon’s remark, “Teachers should be teaching children, what on earth are they teaching?” immediately changed the atmosphere of the broadcast that day. Their relationship, which had crossed the taboo from the start of marriage, has continued to lead to endless conflict to this day.
“There are six siblings… ” Dependence on government subsidies, life like primitive times
On the outside, they seemed like a good couple, but the reality was different. The husband did not look for work or do any housework, and the family lived on a tight budget, relying on government subsidies. When the image of a pregnant wife taking charge of housework and childcare was revealed, the MCs poured out sharp advice to the husband.
Jin Tae-hyeon strongly criticized her husband’s attitude, saying, “It seems like there is a bear in the house where people live,” and Seo Jang-hoon remarked, “We live almost like in the primitive era.” Jin Tae-hyun, who played the role of the husband’s investigator, even made people laugh by declaring that he would give up his defense with both hands and feet in response to the husband’s attitude during the investigation.
Violence, drinking, fighting passed on to children… Park Ha-sun sobs
What shocked me the most during the family investigation was the couple’s violent daily life. The husband did not hesitate to use severe profanity and violence against his wife, and the wife appeared to relieve stress by drinking 4 to 5 bottles of alcohol a day. This family conflict was being passed down to the six siblings.
When the video showing the wife’s drinking problem and the husband’s violent behavior was released, Park Ha-sun expressed concern with a devastated expression, saying, “Isn’t this going to end up on the news?” Then, looking at her husband’s behavior, she became angry and said, “It’s not even good enough to be a child,” and eventually shed tears.
Seo Jang-hoon also pointed out his wife’s bad drinking habits and warned, “If you keep doing this, you will not get divorced, but widowed.”
“Can I protect my family?”… netizen reaction
After the story of ‘The Instinct Couple’ was broadcast, netizens responded with shock. Comments followed, “I can’t believe a church teacher would do something like this,” “I feel so sorry for the children,” and “There is no answer unless this couple fundamentally changes.”
‘Divorce Camp’ once again became the center of attention with this broadcast. Each episode diagnoses various problems in marriage and family through the stories of new couples, raising serious concerns for viewers as well.
