Oh Eun-young "'My Golden Boy' fell flat during the planning stage"


Dr. Oh Eun-young revealed that 'My Golden Child' was a program that was planned again after being abandoned once.

On the 14th, a press conference for 'Oh Eun-young Game' was held at ENA headquarters in Sangam-dong, Seoul. ‘Oh Eun-young Game’ is a special project that brings out the secret weapon that Dr. Oh Eun-young has hidden until now: ‘play.’ This program divides a child's development into five types: physical, language, emotional, cognitive, and relationship, and provides play solutions that enable each area to develop evenly.

When asked why she became interested in play prescriptions, Oh Eun-young said, "I am a psychiatrist. The medical field divides adults into internal medicine and minors into pediatrics based on age, but this is different from psychiatry. The field of children and adolescents includes neither diseases nor problems. It's completely different. It's an area that looks at development, so after becoming a specialist, you have to specialize in child and adolescent psychiatry. Child and adolescent psychiatry sees everything from pregnancy to the elderly over 100 years old. I'm a doctor who looks at development. This is my 32nd year. Virus. Finding a cure and discovering a cure is an important process in restoring human life and health, but people have symptoms and diseases, so I wanted to become a doctor who sees people. That's why I chose psychiatry. Many people have symptoms. As I looked at the heart and mind, I realized that all human beings begin with children. I thought that if a child has a comfortable and good relationship with his or her parents, they can have a positive influence on a person's life, so I majored in child and adolescent psychiatry. “It’s done,” he said.

He continued, "In 'Wooah Dal' and 'My Golden Child', I gave golden prescriptions to understand the child, find problems, and sometimes prescribed things for parents to work on. However, when people say prescription, it only applies to children with problems. “There were a lot of people who thought that was the case. Most prescriptions start with play. So I wanted to change the perception of play prescriptions,” he added.

When asked about the difference with 'My Golden Child', Oh Eun-young said, "I think understanding a child is the first step to understanding humans. 'My Golden Child' is someone who seriously understands and communicates with a child's problems with a professional eye. “In other words, ‘Oh Eun-young Game’ is a program that our children can easily follow and enjoy watching with their parents,” he explained.

He continued, "From the planning stage, we absolutely emphasized that 'My Golden Child' should only feature children from ordinary people. That's why we gave up and decided to do it again. From the broadcasting station's perspective, we also wanted to see who would see it if ordinary families and their children appeared. Still, it was difficult to overcome in reality. "Because it is a program that shares serious conversations, the emphasis was on ordinary families and children. On the other hand, 'Oh Eun-young Game' is a program that helps all children develop evenly with their parents, so celebrity families were included," he added.
