MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report' Explores Extreme Family Conflicts in 'Family Hell' Special

The 'Oh Eun-young Report - Family Hell' features the 'Aemo Family,' who are experiencing extreme conflicts. Dr. Oh Eun-young observes the son's behavior and analyzes him as a 'victim of domestic violence.' An incident where the mother gave 'something' to her pregnant daughter-in-law becomes a catalyst for in-law conflicts. Dr. Oh questions the mother, who laughs while discussing domestic violence, asking, 'Why do you keep laughing?'

Airing at 9 PM on the 2nd, MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report' presents a 'Family Hell' special. Returning after a year, the New Year special 'Family Hell' is Dr. Oh Eun-young's healing project for families who, despite being the closest, inflict deeper wounds. The story of the 'Aemo Family,' who have lived with unspoken wounds for 30 years, is revealed as the first of five families.

The mother and son of the 'Aemo Family' seek Dr. Oh Eun-young to resolve their long-standing conflicts. The son, who recalls being beaten by his mother until the broom broke, confesses, 'I have almost no good memories from my childhood.' In contrast, the mother shows affection by remembering the son's birth weight and height precisely. However, she admits that their communication has completely broken down due to their twisted relationship.

The conflict between mother and son extends to in-law issues. On this day, the 'Aemo Family' mother visits her son's house, where the daughter-in-law is caring for the child alone, without prior notice. The daughter-in-law feels uneasy and leaves the room as the mother-in-law enters without knocking. Despite the daughter-in-law's protests, the mother-in-law takes her granddaughter for a walk on a cold day. The son expresses frustration, saying, 'My mother is too one-sided and doesn't try to understand others.'

The mother shares an anecdote, saying, 'The first button with my daughter-in-law was fastened wrong.' She gave 'something' to her daughter-in-law, who was experiencing morning sickness, and felt offended when the daughter-in-law vomited. Dr. Oh Eun-young and the MCs are shocked. Dr. Oh firmly states, 'Are you a doctor? You shouldn't do that.' The MCs also murmur, 'That's not right.' What exactly did the mother give to her pregnant daughter-in-law? Curiosity about the decisive moment of the in-law conflict grows.

Dr. Oh Eun-young observes the son's behavior closely and analyzes it as 'a very typical symptom of a domestic violence victim.' The mother admits, 'Once I start hitting my son, I keep going until my anger subsides. I can't control my temper,' revealing her own reasons. However, Dr. Oh draws a line, saying, 'That's not the only issue.'

Notably, during the broadcast, the mother repeatedly laughs while discussing her son's abuse experiences, leaving everyone bewildered. Dr. Oh Eun-young eventually asks, 'Why do you keep laughing?' What is happening with the 'Aemo Family'? MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report - Family Hell' airs at 9 PM on the 2nd.
