'Divorce Camp - Refresh' MCs Park Ha-sun, Kim Sae-rom, and Seo Dong-ju were shocked to see a couple experiencing a family breakdown due to their children's study materials.

In JTBC's 'Divorce Consideration Camp - Refresh' (hereinafter referred to as 'Refresh'), which aired on the 2nd, the stories of the second-generation couples who visited the divorce consideration camp with various reasons were revealed.

In episode 4 of 'Refresh', which aired last week, three couples completed the first phase of the divorce consideration camp and went through the final adjustment of presenting what they wanted to their spouses. Since then, the three couples have said that based on the solutions provided at the post-filming camp, they are following adjustments for a healthy marital relationship, such as increasing their expression of affection, quitting drinking, and quitting their long unemployed lives.

In the newly launched 2nd Divorce Contemplation Camp, couples with different concerns than those from the 1st period appeared. One of these couples was experiencing serious financial problems. The husband was contemplating divorce from his wife who was ‘obsessed with something.’

This couple's house was full of books. The husband said, "I don't think the books are all in the room. They were delivered in boxes periodically," and added, "I think the price of the books alone would be around 10 million won." He then confessed, “(The money I pay per month) is 1.8 million won. That’s just the cost of the study materials.” The wife shocked the MCs by revealing, “The remaining amount (to be repaid) is about 24 million won.” MC Seo Dong-ju wondered, “Why are you paying back the cost of the study materials?” Park Ha-sun was also surprised, saying, “That’s too severe.”

My wife said, "The money I spent so far will be a little less than that. There are books and basic learning programs." She then confessed, "I didn't tell my husband in detail. If I told him anyway, I 100% wouldn't turn the house upside down. I thought it was the root of the fight." The husband said, “He seemed like a person who was very into that area.” My wife explained, “It’s like essential reading for our three children.”

My wife was strict when it came to educating our children. The husband said, "We have three children, and each subject is included in the education program. It doesn't suit our circumstances. The children are young." Young children were learning Chinese, Japanese, and even coding. The husband said, “Even my youngest child started when he was 4 years old. It was too much.” Kim Sae-rom said, “There is excessive spending on the other side (learning).” Park Ha-sun was surprised and said, “I bought too much of that.”

The problem started after my wife started working as a salesperson for a workbook company. The husband confessed, "It was performance-oriented. I bought books to supplement my performance. I think it's similar to a pyramid scheme." The MCs were shocked by the story of ‘multi-level’. The husband was frustrated, saying, "I also went through personal rehabilitation. I thought the money for study materials was a priority, so I thought about canceling the contract, but they said that wasn't possible. I feel like I want to get rid of everything."

Kim Sae-rom was angry, saying, “Did personal rehabilitation go unpaid because of the workbook?” Park Ha-sun said, “It doesn’t make sense.”

The husband said, "He seemed like a person who was really into that field. We have three kids, and we put all the subjects in each one. It doesn't suit our circumstances, and the kids are too young." He said that he was doing workbooks for Chinese, Japanese, and even coding. .

As to why he orders worksheets to this extent, the husband said, "(My wife) started having problems after she started working for a workbook company. She was not a teacher, but a salesperson, so she focused on performance." He added, "I bought books to supplement my performance, and how did I do it?" “If you look at it, it’s similar to a multi-level scheme.” The wife claimed that she earned some money, saying, “The husband did not put all his money into it as he said.”

The husband confided, "If my wife had been sorry and upset, I would have stayed quiet. I would have comforted her more. She didn't show that and kept smiling calmly, which was embarrassing." My wife shed tears, saying, “I was greedy about teaching my children, so I wonder if I should be criticized like this.”

Kim Sae-ron said, “My wife is a bit self-indulgent. ‘Did I use it for something else? I used it for my children.’” My wife even ripped out the children's piggy bank to put money into the living expenses account. Park Ha-sun said, “That really went to the end.”

The couple decided to participate in a divorce camp.
