“I was very upset and in pain. Fortunately, I am a little older, and if I had been younger, I would have been in a lot of pain. That made me think again about what I should do and what many people say to me. "It was a time for me to reflect and reflect on whether I wanted to receive help. I realized that no matter how good my intentions were, even if it was unintentional, the public could still feel uncomfortable. I am so sorry and sorry. "
Dr. Oh Eun-young once again bowed her head and said this about the recent controversy over child molestation in 'Marriage Hell' at the 'Oh Eun-young Game' press conference held at the ENA headquarters in Sangam-dong, Seoul on the 14th.
Oh Eun-young was recently criticized for the controversy related to 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell'. Since it is a program with his name on it, he cannot escape responsibility for the controversy over the program. As the scope expanded from children's behavior correction experts to adults, there were criticisms that it was an octopus-style broadcast, and people called it a 'show doctor'.
As the brand value of Oh Eun-young has increased, the responsibility and concerns about influence are also greater. Oh Eun-young said, "Some people say that Oh Eun-young's words are necessarily the right answer and that she is God. That is absolutely not the case. What I say is not the right answer. There are too many people besides me who have skills in their respective fields." I just tell helpful stories by adding knowledge and experience. Diagnosing is a specialist's position, but the story of a person's life is told according to the person's life. Even if you say, 'I don't think that way,' you can help people feel a little better at that moment. “I think understanding and thinking about it is meaningful in itself,” he said.
'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.
Oh Eun-young, who led parenting solution programs such as 'My Child Has Changed' and 'My Golden Child'. When asked why he planned the 'Oh Eun-young Game', a 'play prescription' solution, he said, "Most parents know that play is important, but they do not know that play is a very important stimulus for children's even development. All parenting lies within play. "It's all in there. Observation, understanding, interaction, and even learning must be supported by proper play. Play is an essential stimulus and communication that helps growth and development," he said. "Everyone is surprised when “I say that play is important in a child’s growth process.” So, I got the idea to change the concept of play. I also felt like I needed to share awareness of the importance of play, and I wanted to let parents know how helpful play that can be applied at home is. Then, I got connected with ENA and started talking. “We decided to do it, and ENA also wanted to create a good program that would benefit society, so we agreed.”
He continued, "Some people say 'Oh Eun-young Game' is a parody of 'Squid Game', but it is not a parody. I named it 'Oh Eun-young Game' in the hope that it will be a program that can be enjoyed comfortably at home."
'Oh Eun-young Game' is a part and beginning of Oh Eun-young's 'Play Project'. He said, "I started creating the play project 4-5 years ago. It is now almost complete. We plan to provide hundreds of play contents that are appropriate for age and helpful for development every week. We plan to release them without burdening the cost." .
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 “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.
Did the atmosphere at the studio go as expected? Oh Eun-young said, "It was more amazing than I expected. When dealing with children, unexpected things happen. Young children express what they feel, so we don't tell them what to do. I was worried about the first sports day with 100 children. The children's ages were different. “Because they were 3 to 6 years old, I was very aware of safety issues," he said. In 'Squid Game', if you break the rules, you are eliminated, but in 'Oh Eun-young Game', you are not eliminated. I listened to the explanation again and tried again several times, and as time went by, I got much better at it. “I realized once again that children learn when adults teach them. “well,” he said.
He continued, "Shin Dong-yeop is truly the best MC. He doesn't think of his lines in advance. He does it based on the atmosphere, and he seems to have a really good head. He does a good job of making. the many contestants feel comfortable, and I'm just thankful that he makes me feel comfortable. “Isn't Lee Min-jung an actress and a goddess? When you see her in person, you're surprised because she's so pretty. But "that goddess is an easy-going goddess. She has a lot of questions about children and has a good personality. Even goddesses become similar when they become mothers."
Oh Eun-young also expressed her expectations for Season 2 of 'Oh Eun-young Game'. He expressed his hope, "Broadcasting has positive and negative effects, but if good content is used well, it can be helpful. I hope many people will watch it. If season 2 is made, more people will be able to watch it."
“I have a sense of duty to share what I have received. If by doing what I can, I can help a child feel more comfortable, if that family feels more comfortable, if an individual feels more secure, if I can be of some help to that. “I will do it unconditionally. Please give me some good advice.”
