The story of the 'Eggplant Couple,' who began dating when the wife was 19 and her husband was a teacher in his 30s, has been revealed. The couple married after she became pregnant.
On the episode of JTBC's variety show 'Divorce Consideration Camp' aired on the 23rd, the first couple of the 21st season, known as the 'Eggplant Couple,' underwent a household investigation.
The couple, married for 14 years, consists of a 32-year-old wife and a 43-year-old husband. The wife disclosed that she met her husband, who was a contract teacher, during her senior year of high school and became pregnant. She recalled, "It was the fall of my senior year. It was a huge issue at school. My mom told me, 'Raise the child well and live proudly.'" In contrast, the husband reportedly reacted to the pregnancy news with a shocking expletive.
Currently, the 'Eggplant Couple' is raising three children aged 14, 13, and 5. However, in footage from the wife's perspective, the husband was shown not assisting with childcare or household chores. He even remarked, "If I help with housework every time, she won't appreciate it."
The husband, who is currently farming eggplants, holds five positions in agricultural-related meetings and spends significant time and money, reportedly 50 million won, on gaming, neglecting family responsibilities. The wife expressed, "I feel like I'm raising the kids alone, like a single mother." She also mentioned that he checks his games even during intimate moments, saying, "I feel neurotic; just hearing game notifications drives me crazy."
The husband has also made shocking comments to his wife, such as "You don't feed a caught fish" and "I'll kill you if you gain weight during pregnancy."
