Oh Eun-young also got angry and appealed, “A month’s interest alone is 4 million won.”
The good times were short-lived, and as time passed, the conflict worsened, and the two ended up going to 'marriage hell' at the request of their brother-in-law to tell their story. When we asked the couple why they decided to appear on the show, the wife confessed, “I came here because of the ongoing conflict and my husband’s inability to understand my feelings.” The husband then revealed the reason for his appearance, saying, “I want to bring laughter back to the family.” In response to her husband's words, the wife shed tears, saying, "I don't think there will be any change because I have already lost a lot of faith."
Before revealing the story in earnest, Haha raised curiosity by saying, “The couple had so many problems that the production team couldn’t figure out all the problems even after filming was over.”
On a weekend morning, my husband went out with the children. The husband showed himself as a caring father, saying, “I don’t usually play well with my children, so I try to go out whenever I have time.” Even when the family went out, the wife stayed home alone. When asked, "Why don't you go out together?" the husband confessed, "It's rare for the whole family to go out, and the wife often stays home alone," raising questions.
The couple's strange dreams continued in the evening. My wife was displeased with the airplane toy in her son’s hand, saying, “Did you buy this again?” Afterwards, despite the japchae and stir-fried squid that his wife had already prepared, the husband cooked many more dishes and prepared a table so large that his upper legs broke. In the end, my wife just sighed when she saw the leftover food. In the interview that followed, the wife indicated that she was having financial difficulties, saying, “I think you have to save every penny when you don’t have money.”
That night, my wife began her conversation by saying, “Please show me the documents regarding the debt.” It turned out that my husband had a total of 290 million won in debt due to three investment failures. The wife confessed, “I recently found out that my husband had made unreasonable investments without consulting me, and that we had incurred debt as a result.” He then confessed, “I even wrote a memorandum disclosing the exact amount of debt.” Contrary to the contents of the memorandum, the husband expressed his discomfort, saying, “What are you going to do after seeing how much debt you have?” Afterwards, when the wife did not understand the setting up of a mortgage, the husband raised his voice, saying, “I don’t understand, so what are you talking about?” The husband then became frustrated with his wife, saying, “My wife lacks economic sense to the point where she can’t tell the difference between a check card and a credit card.”
The wife, who was unable to understand the debt situation despite talking with her husband, requested an SOS from her family. My husband, who had a three-way meeting with his family, could not hide his embarrassment. It is said that there was tension in the studio due to the unexpected situation.
Next, another problem of the couple was revealed. The two people received financial counseling at the request of Dr. Eunyoung Oh, who said that understanding the economic situation should be a priority. During the consultation, the expert asked, “Why are you paying so much in insurance premiums?” Even though they were deep in debt, the couple was paying monthly insurance premiums of 2.5 million won. The wife surprised everyone by confessing, “Until recently, my husband paid 4 million won per month in death insurance alone.” In response, the husband confessed, “I did not want to pass down debt to my children.”
Next, a solution for the Onion couple was revealed. Dr. Eunyoung Oh diagnosed that the reason her husband continued to invest was because of two vulnerabilities: 'money and loneliness.' She went on to say, “It is true that my husband is addicted to investing,” and recommended that he recognize his addiction and receive treatment. He also advised that the couple's financial rights be completely separated, saying, "If the wife's credit collapses, it will be difficult to get back on her feet."
