Controversial 'Shaman Couple' Returns to 'Divorce Consideration Camp' Amid Authenticity Concerns

The remaining story of the 'Shaman Couple' is set to be revealed.

On October 26th at 10:30 PM, JTBC's variety show 'Divorce Consideration Camp' will air the continuation of the 'Shaman Couple's' story along with the household investigation of the last couple of the 19th season.

First, the unresolved issues of the shaman wife from last week will be disclosed. Despite the husband's financial support, covering not only his wife's business funds but also his father-in-law's debts, the wife fails to acknowledge his efforts and instead complains about him taking credit for repaying the debts, leaving viewers shocked. Furthermore, it is revealed that even the children's college tuition savings were used to pay off the wife's debts, prompting Seo Jang-hoon to express concerns that the recurring business debts could lead to the family's overall misfortune.

The couple, who have been in conflict over the 'Naerimgut' ritual, seek advice from a shaman. While the consultation advises against performing the ritual, the husband expresses confusion and dissatisfaction, whereas the wife indicates her intention to focus more on her business, adding to the tension. Even after the household investigation, the couple clashes over financial issues again, with the husband reportedly throwing a microphone in anger.

The precarious atmosphere continues during the subsequent couple's counseling and mirror therapy psychodrama. In a session with counselor Lee Ho-sun, the wife expresses gratitude for her husband's dedication to the family but reveals her complex feelings of distrust towards his changes. Even after the mirror therapy, their conflict deepens, drawing attention to their eventual outcome.

In the household investigation of the last couple of the 19th season, the story of a wife who entered the camp due to dissatisfaction with her husband prioritizing his family over her is revealed. Notably, during the filming of the household investigation, the husband requested to stop filming by turning off the camera, marking a first in the history of 'Divorce Consideration Camp,' sparking curiosity about their story.

Meanwhile, the 'Shaman Couple' faces allegations of staging their story. Previously, they appeared on 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' in November 2024, confessing their marital conflicts as a 'possessed couple.'

In August 2025, they returned for a follow-up special on 'Marriage Hell,' showcasing a 180-degree transformation. The husband admitted that after the show, he received treatment for depression at a counseling center associated with 'Marriage Hell,' significantly reducing his sense of helplessness. They claimed to respect each other without harsh words or excessive honorifics. However, just six months after the follow-up special, they reappeared on 'Divorce Consideration Camp,' displaying the same issues previously revealed on 'Marriage Hell,' leading to authenticity controversies.
