Park Eun-hye, Han Sang-jin, and Jeong Hyeok came to the rescue for couples experiencing conflict. Taking a look at the problems faced by couples in the second season of the SBS Plus entertainment show 'How's Your Marriage?' In Season 1, the MCs watched the couples as observers, but in Season 2, they directly enter the camp site. 'Single' Park Eun-hye, 'Married Man' Han Sang-jin', and 'Never Married' Jeong Hyeok listen to the stories of couples struggling with divorce from their respective perspectives and honestly seek solutions together.
On the 17th, an online production presentation for the SBS Plus entertainment show 'How's Your Marriage 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Party Resolution 2') was held. MCs Park Eun-hye, Han Sang-jin, Jeong Hyeok and SBS Plus production team leader Lee Yang-hwa attended.
‘Party Resolution 2’ is a reality show that examines marital relationships to find happiness for couples struggling with various conflicts. Production team leader Lee Yang-hwa introduced, "As the title suggests, it is a program to watch, checking whether my marriage is well and the marriages of the contestants on the air, and finding a solution."
Regarding the current status of the first couple of 'Dangsejeon', production team leader Lee Yang-hwa said, "Comparing before and after the appearance, I heard that the couple's relationship has definitely improved after the appearance. Married life has clear days and cloudy days, but overall it has become clearer. “He said. Regarding the parts that took more effort in 'Party Resolution 2' than Season 1, production team leader Lee Yang-hwa said, "There was a scene in season 1 where they met with experts, and in season 2, we wanted to have the couples find the answer themselves. The production team thought about it. Pre-interview. You only meet with experts, and at the camp site, there are only couples and MCs.
He explained, "The biggest difference from the first season is that there are couples and MCs on site." Regarding the differences, "It's the training camp and MCs' input into the field. A male MC is assigned to the husband's room, and a female MC is assigned to the wife's room. Listen to them so they can self-objectify. In the next step, couples meet in a marital space. The MCs watch the process and gather again to tell and discuss the stories of the husband and wife. MCs also try to find solutions among themselves. Viewers watch this process. In the process of separating and meeting a husband and wife, there is something that couples also realize. “The MCs will also gain enlightenment in their married life,” he explained.
Regarding the process of recruiting actors, production team leader Lee Yang-hwa said, "When there is a wife and husband, the wife almost always applies. When we call, they say they will discuss it with the husband and tell us. But when we discussed it with the husband, there are many cases where they say they won't do it. It's just us. If it's a grievance, it's a grievance. There were cases where they said they would go out, but after we finished preparing for filming, they said they had a fight with their husbands and said no. The couple who appears in tomorrow's episode said they wouldn't, but about a week before filming, they contacted me saying they would do it again. Will they get divorced? They came up with a ‘party resolution’ ahead of the end.
“There were sunny days and stormy days during the casting,” Park Eun-hye said, “Some people said they would not appear because they got divorced during the casting. Or, there were people who were considering divorce and wanted to get checked. “In the second season, more diverse people will appear,” he added.
‘Single Mom’ Park Eun-hye and ‘Unmarried Man’ Jeong Hyeok, who served as MCs from the first season, will be together for the second season. Here, Han Sang-jin, a ‘married man of 20 years’, was newly introduced. Sangjin Han said, "I've enjoyed watching it since the first season, and I'm grateful to be able to participate directly. I can share what I've felt in my life, but it's also a time for me to learn. Not only those who are married or preparing for marriage will be able to look into the meaning of life." He said hello.
Park Eun-hye said, "'Party Resolution' finished Season 1 and returned for Season 2. The concept has changed a lot. It will be fun and approachable. You will sympathize more." Jeong Hyeok said, "I think I am the representative non-marriage fanatic among celebrities. I thought I would do the first season and not the second season. I thought it had nothing to do with marriage. But I thought there was a lot of interest in non-marriage. This time, together, I hope to become a stronger, so-called ' “I’m back with ‘Maramat,’” he announced.
Lee Yang-hwa, head of the production team, said, "The production team had many meetings to recruit Han Sang-jin. After repeated meetings, deliberations, and reports, we decided to bring in Han Sang-jin after going through a difficult process within the company. An MC must be brought in on set, but in many ways, "I thought it was absolutely necessary. Han Sang-jin and Park Eun-hye are so close that I wondered what Jeong-hyeok would do if he felt left out."
Jeonghyeok laughed, saying, “I didn’t feel left out. It was like, ‘Mom, Dad, stop fighting.’” Han Sang-jin expressed his resentment, saying, “There is not much of an age difference between me and Jeong-hyeok, but they keep calling me mom and dad.” Park Eun-hye said, "Han Sang-jin said that the basic phone call lasts for an hour. I heard that Han Sang-jin goes to a cafe three times with his close friends. He can only continue with words," and conveyed Han Sang-jin's talkative side. Han Sang-jin laughed, saying, "I like listening to other people's stories, and I listen to them and don't move on. Sharing stories is also helpful to me. I'm eating Gongjindan, which I didn't eat during the filming of the drama, while filming 'Danggyeol-an.'"
Han Sang-jin said, "One day, by chance, a casting call came in from the production team, and I thought something had come. I am grateful for the drama casting, but I have also hosted several entertainment programs, but 'Party Resolution' is the program I wanted to do. When it comes to living as a married couple, living "I study and receive more in the 'Party Decision' House. I become more positive. Viewers will also think more positively when they see 'Party Decision' House," he said.
Park Eun-hye made people laugh by saying, “When we reach the 5th or 6th stage, wouldn’t it be a good idea to check with my wife to see how much Han Sang-jin has changed?” Also, regarding Jeong Hyeok, who is a non-marriage person, he said, “It is better to do something and then come back than not to do it at all,” causing laughter.
In the first season, the MCs watched the couples' camp in the studio through a VCR, but from the second season, they directly visited the camp site to interact more deeply and provide solutions. Jeonghyeok said, "I didn't know until I came. I was half worried and half excited. In the first period, I only saw parts of it and thought I would like to meet this couple later, but in the second period, I got to be with them from start to finish. If the first period was just scratching the surface, then the second period was like that. “When I went deeper, there was more to see and learn,” he said.
He continued, "Both in the first and second seasons, I am watching it as a non-marriage person. I came to think of marriage as a single frame, but after watching this program, more frames were put into place. I thought, even if I get married, I shouldn't go as far as this. Marriage is marriage, but it is also about human beings. “It makes me think about relationships,” he said. He also said, "I grew up in a single-parent family. I may not be able to get involved in a lot of conversations about couples, but I think I can see it from the child's perspective."
Regarding ways to make a married couple's life smooth, Park Eun-hye said, "It is important to have organized conversations, but I thought it would be good to have honest conversations even if we fight sometimes." He continued, "There are couples around me who fight every day, and they live happily. I think it's important to talk honestly, regardless of whether there's a fight or not."
Han Sang-jin said, "I wondered what the zero priority condition for happiness for a couple would be, but while filming, I came to think of it as frequency, not density. You can say 'thank you' and 'I love you' to your wife and husband every day, but if you don't, the couple will feel sad. "It seems like it's moving on to another problem. At the same time, it seems like a minor problem is becoming bigger. I think it would be better to say 'I'm sorry,' 'I love you,' and 'I'm proud of you' to the person next to me," he confessed. Jeong Hyeok said, “If I get married, I think it will be a ‘conversation’.”
‘Danggyeolan 2’ features three couples who are facing a red light in their marriage. The 'red couple' met in January 2019 and married in August of that year, but filed for divorce in December of last year and reached the threshold of separation. The wife is dissatisfied with her husband's interference and contact so severe that she is suspected of being suspicious of him, and the husband is dissatisfied with his wife's verbal abuse.
The 'Red Couple' wife complained that her husband had never been a family member. Han Sang-jin said, "I was upset and the production team was also sad. Other people were trying to resolve the issue, but we first listened to both sides. At first, I understood the husband and wife's positions. What were our feelings when starting a family? "I thought it was a reminder of the diary, so I talked about it a lot. I pointed out when their happy times were. I tried to think of good memories and talk about them, and I think the results will be confirmed through broadcast." Regarding the highlight of the 'Red Couple' story, "They are having a weekend relationship because of financial problems. The husband has trust issues with his wife. The wife speaks harshly to her husband. The two admit their mistakes and change. Among the viewers, “If there is someone who is a weekend couple or has financial issues, there may be some understanding,” he said.
The 'Blue Couple' is a couple who have been married for 14 years and run a chicken restaurant together, and they are experiencing problems with habitual communication breakdown and inability to communicate. The wife is tired of her husband's skinship that is instinctive and not affectionate, and the husband is disappointed that his wife does not approach him first.
Jeong Hyeok said, "What I felt the most about meeting the 'Blue Couple' was that they had been married for 14 years and were raising a child, so I thought it was the most realistic. Although I was not married, I thought while watching this that it was not just this couple's problem. People around them were fighting. Or, even if you look at it, it is a common sight. I think that universal and common aspects should be shown in the 'party resolution', but I think they are one of the couples who are experiencing such problems. Financial problems, problems with in-laws, and problems with parents are mixed together.
We need to unravel the thread, but conversation is cut off. It's completely tangled up. When you watch it, you will feel, ‘Didn’t we do that too?’ I actually didn't feel that it was 'special'. I thought it was a problem that we had seen a lot but had been missing. “I thought we had to take a serious approach,” he said. Park Eun-hye also said, “This is a problem that mostly exists at home.
The 'Yellow Couple', who have been married for 4 years, decided to appear in the second season of 'Party Resolution' following MBC's 'Marriage Hell' with the feeling that they were about to make the 'last choice'. The two, who were also called the 'fire and water couple', continue to clash with the wife, who is helpless in everything, and the husband, who is so angry at his wife that he goes to extremes.
The 'Yellow Couple' even cried profusely in front of Park Eun-hye. Park Eun-hye confessed, "You have to see the person's feelings first, and I thought that the 'yellow couple' loved each other but were upset. They wanted to support each other, love each other, and live well, but it felt like they didn't know what to do." She continued, "I wanted her to be happy. Han Sang-jin looked at my husband and said, 'I can never understand,' and I can't forget the look in his eyes that said, 'It's so hard.' “I think we can understand the husband, and the man can understand the wife. We can look at it from a slightly different perspective,” he said.
Jeong Hyeok pointed out the key point to watch, saying, "Among the divorce legal counselors, there were those who had decided on the division of housework. They talked about each other's responsibilities. This couple seems to have had a big problem. You will be able to see them solving it little by little." all.
The MCs were confident that they would be able to have fun and learn lessons through ‘Party Resolution 2’. Sangjin Han said, "We receive education. We receive education at school for 12 years and also receive sex education. However, we have never received 'marriage education'. It will be our first marriage, our second marriage, and our third marriage. ' I hope that 'Dangseong-An' is like a couple's education book. We are not experts. There are many doctors and teachers, but there are some things that are not covered in the case. We cannot rush to conclusions about pain or wounds. 'We need to learn about those aspects.' ', 'We should do that like that,' and I hope that the 'party resolution' will become a guide to education for couples."
Park Eun-hye predicted, "In the second period, you will have more to learn and receive healing. It will not be irritating. You will gain quiet enlightenment." Jeong Hyeok said, "'Where do you do this?', 'How do I appear?' “I hope there will be a reaction,” he said.
Lee Yang-hwa, head of the production team, said, "SBS Plus has a representative work called 'I Am Solo'. Please give it your love so that it can be as hit as 'I Am Solo'." Jeong Hyeok said, “Even unmarried people can take it lightly.” Park Eun-hye said, "'The Party's Resolution' has changed since Season 2. It is not a question of whether to divorce or not, but a question of whether we are living happily or not. Those who want to see if my marriage is healthy and want to chat with us. He said, “It would be good if people apply.” Han Sang-jin said, “After watching ‘Party Resolution 2,’ I am confident that I will be able to continue talking about couples and MCs even after the broadcast. I hope your marriage goes well as well.”
'Party Resolution 2' will premiere on SBS Plus and SmileTV Plus at 10 PM on the 18th.
