As expected, a complete transformation was impossible? MBN's 'High School Mom 3', which made a fresh start after a period of reorganization, is at the edge of a cliff again. As if premarital pregnancy between an adult man and a minor woman was glorified, a large number of immature husbands have appeared this time.
In the 10th episode of MBN's entertainment show 'Adults Don't Know High School Dad 3' (hereinafter referred to as 'High School Dad 3'), which aired on the 22nd, Kim Yi-seul and Jeon Jun-young, a 20-year-old couple of the same age who became pregnant at the age of 19 and recently became parents, appeared. They revealed that Jeon Joon-young lives with his parents.
The VCR started with two people enjoying entertainment with friends until 2 am. The couple slept until late in the afternoon the next day due to hangovers.
Even after setting up the lunch table, Jeon Jun-young's father did not hide his discomfort towards those who came to eat long afterward. In the end, Jeon Jun-young's father continued to nag him throughout the meal, asking, "How do you raise a child if you come home late and sleep until morning?" and "Are you preparing to go to college?" Jeon Jun-young, who became uncomfortable, put down his spoon and went to the room. went into
The sight of Jeon Joon-young receiving care from his parents without even lifting a finger was enough to raise eyebrows. He has a family, so he can't just be labeled as an 'immature 20-year-old son.' It was difficult to imagine him as the head of a family with a wife and daughter.
Even my daughter's health condition is serious. My daughter, who was born at 30 weeks and was in intensive care, was still living in the hospital. However, his wife, Kim Yi-seul, made excuses that were not excuses, saying that his condition had improved recently and that he was playing with peace of mind.
In addition, there were economic difficulties. The two people were surviving on their parents' credit cards. However, Jeon Joon-young's father also recently retired and was maintaining his life with a negative bank account. Of course, it was not enough money for a family of five to live on.
Now that the older ‘old-fashioned husband’ has gone, a ‘immature husband’ who opens his arms to his parents has appeared. Viewers feel as if they are eating 100 sweet potatoes while watching.
In addition to Jeon Joon-young and Kim I-seul, Lee Song-i and Lee Ji-seop, who appeared on the air in early March, are also living off emergency livelihood subsidies. In particular, the couple had three children, and in the case of husband Lee Ji-seop, the issue of military exemption had not yet been resolved, which drew the ire of MCs.
In the meantime, whenever there was controversy, 'High School Mom' took time to reorganize and resumed broadcasting. There have been many controversies so far. It deals with the stories of minors and adult men several times. At the time, 'High School Daddy 2' became a problem because it was seen as glorifying grooming crimes targeting minors.
Before starting Season 3, the production team declared, "We will think more deeply about the parts that were pointed out as uncomfortable points by viewers in the last season." However, even in Season 3, there are no signs of the production team's concerns. It equally infuriates viewers and calls for its abolition continue.
'High School Mom' is a program created with the purpose of discovering the true meaning of family by discovering the growth in the real daily lives of teenage mothers and fathers who became parents at a young age. However, the most important thing, ‘growth’, was missing. It's unfortunate that the production crew and broadcasting station are only busy introducing hot topics.
