Seo Jang-hoon Offers Stern Advice to 'Eggplant Couple' on JTBC's 'Divorce Consideration Camp'
The episode featured the story of the first couple of the 21st season, known as the 'Eggplant Couple.'
In the video from the wife's perspective, it was revealed that she became pregnant with their first child during her senior year of high school. She has since dedicated most of her twenties to her family, managing childbirth and childcare at a young age. Despite her busy schedule, she is left to handle household chores and childcare alone due to her husband's neglect.
The husband shocked the audience by stating, "If I keep helping, she won't appreciate it." This left the wife feeling isolated, to the point where she described herself as feeling like a "single mother," drawing sympathy from viewers. Seo Jang-hoon warned the husband that prioritizing work over family would eventually lead to their children turning away from him.
The husband's dismissive remarks, such as telling his wife, "You don't feed a fish you've already caught," and his inappropriate reaction to her pregnancy announcement during high school, saying, "We're screwed," sparked outrage.
Meanwhile, the husband's video revealed that the wife suffers from depression, has been overmedicating, and has a history of extreme actions, raising concerns.
Seo Jang-hoon advised, "Without family, nothing else matters," emphasizing the importance of balancing work and family before it's too late.
The story of the second couple of the 21st season will be revealed on JTBC's 'Divorce Consideration Camp' on the 30th at 10:30 PM.
