Kim Ha-yoon, a high school mother who is about to give birth to her second child, confessed her loneliness due to her husband's workaholic nature.
In the 5th episode of MBN's 'Adults Don't Know High School Dad 3' broadcast on the 15th, high school moms Kim Ha-yoon and Kwak I-chang, who are raising a 13-month-old son, Rae-han, appeared together and revealed their daily lives as they prepare for the birth of their second child.
On this day's broadcast, Kim Ha-yoon's story was introduced as a reenactment drama. Ha-yoon Kim was a kayaker in high school, but found exercise painful. She felt even more frustrated due to her father's control, which set a curfew of 5 p.m.
After giving up on her dream of becoming a kayaker, Ha-yoon Kim took a break for a while and met a sweet boyfriend through someone around her. Soon after, she found out that she was pregnant. They left home for a while and only after six months of pregnancy did they visit Kim Hayun's father and inform him that they were going to have a child.
The father hugged his daughter, whom he had not seen in a long time, and after making a difficult decision, he allowed the child to be born. The couple registered their marriage and gave birth to a son, Raehan. However, after real-life parenting began in earnest, it ended with the couple having a conflict due to their polarizing life patterns.
Ha-yoon Kim and Lee-chang Kwak appeared in the studio. The couple, who appeared holding hands, revealed that they were "7 months pregnant with their second child" and revealed their special golden age. However, Kim Ha-yoon aroused curiosity by saying, "I decided to appear on the show because there was an unresolved problem." In the revealed daily life camera, husband Kwak Yi-chang feeds the child baby food in the morning and takes care of household chores himself, and even prepares Kim Ha-yoon's breakfast before going on a delivery job, leading to MC Haha's response, saying, "It's not realistic."
Kwak Yi-chang, who had devoted himself to work for a long time, ordered the best model of stroller for his second child, and also made the cast envious by buying the highest quality Korean beef for his family and grilling it himself. However, as the video continued, an unexpected problem was discovered. Kwak Yi-chang's workaholic temperament was particularly severe. Regarding her husband's busy daily life, where he is pressed for time by making delivery calls even before and after regular gynecological checkups, and goes back to work without having time to eat a proper meal with his family, Kim Ha-yoon said, "I know that my husband is devoted to his family, but he is too crazy about work. “It’s the same,” he said, expressing his deep loneliness.
In the end, right after Kwak Yi-chang took time for a couple yoga date with his wife for the first time in a long time, he paid attention to the delivery application notifications, maximizing the conflict between the couple. MCs who were watching the video also commented bitterly, saying, "I think it would be better to use your time to be nice to your family rather than flexing with top-quality products." Afterwards, Kwak I-chang's father came to their house. Kwak Yi-chang's father, who faced his son who came home late from work, responded to his son's story, "Money has become more important as the birth of my second child approaches," and harshly advised, "Life is a marathon, and if you pour out all your energy at once, you will get tired."
The couple also visited Ha-yoon Kim's father with their son Rae-han, and the father, who was particularly strict with Ha-yun Kim, showed the appearance of a foolish grandson who took care of Rae-han delicately, which made them happy. While Kim Ha-yoon went to peel fruit, an awkward atmosphere existed between her husband, Kwak I-chang, and her father-in-law. Kim Ha-yoon's father, who was constantly pressuring and interrogating the son-in-law who took his precious daughter, said, "I'm not saying your actions at the time were good, but I think your choice (to have a child) was the right decision. I see you guys working hard to live. “It also gives me strength,” he said, giving warm support to his daughter and his wife.
They left Raehan in the care of Kim Ha-yoon's father for a while and spent time alone on a memorable date at the beach. Kim Ha-yoon, who was happy just to be with her husband and showed great tension, asked for time for her, saying, "This is what I want." After the video ended, Kwak Yi-chang responded, "I am confident" to special MC So Yi-hyeon's advice, "Please stay by my wife's side at least once a week."
