A seven-year-old thrifty couple, abusive parents in front of them, and my head looks like a trash can (Lee Sook-cam)



'The frugal couple' A 7-year-old son expressed his honest feelings about family discord.

JTBC 'Departure Camp', which aired on the 1st, revealed the daily life of a thrifty couple, whose daily life has become a daily life. The two married last year and started a family, and were living with their nine-year-old son. The wife is remarried, the husband is the first marriage, and the son is the wife's child.

The reality of extreme household sharing imbalance, emotional conflict, and domestic violence was revealed in detail on the show.

In the VCR released, he was in charge of all the rest of the housework and childcare. In particular, the wife surprised those who made her husband run every simple task.

Seo Jang-hoon, who saw this, asked "Is my wife working?" and made them wonder by saying that both of them are currently unemployed. It turns out that my wife has been very sick for 100 days since November last year. The wife explained "It hurts so much that I couldn't even get up during that period, so I think what started then has been extended now."

However, the extent of the errands was excessive. He was in charge of not only preparing meals, washing dishes, and taking care of children, but also washing his wife's hair, carrying all the weight of the housework. The bigger problem was childcare. The young son " has no mother. My mother won't play with me," he complained of loneliness. Turns out my wife wanted a divorce, and my husband didn't want one.




Seo Jang-hoon "I understand the difficult part of my wife, but the wife's current appearance seems to know how to use her husband and use it. I know my husband does everything if I don't say 'let's divorce'. It seems like you're being forced to do it, saying, 'You should try it.'" In response, my wife said, "I hate you this much, and I'm huge, so won't you divorce me?I feel like I'm trying to force myself with this mindset"He admitted "I don't think I can do that to a respectable man." It's like "If you don't want to do it, get out." It's actually very comfortable," he added.

Seo Jang-hoon "I feel sorry for my husband. To be honest, isn't he almost a servant?" and his wife said "I feel more sorry for him. I lost everything. If you don't like it, I want you to divorce me" wept.

However, the husband "I feel sorry for not being good to my wife. If I change, I think my wife will change, too. I want to change what I want to focus on my wife and avoid. There is currently no intention of divorce. I only think that I need to change.," he said, showing a distinct difference from his wife's position.

The evidence video of the husband's side was not the end here. Jin Tae-hyun raised questions by saying, `I was surprised watching this.' The wife even forced her husband to feed him leftover food, calling him a 'treasure machine'. The husband "The wife's standards are too hard. Not only the rice paste, but also the seaweed powder and red pepper powder in the bowl are not acceptable. As if to prove this, the wife forced her husband to pick up and eat all the pieces of salad she spilled on the table, breadcrumbs on the floor, and onion crumbs in the dishwasher.

Seo Jang-hoon "This is far-fetched. Younghoon, listen carefully. You shouldn't live like this for each other. Soobin, listen carefully. When my husband goes out, he has to do all the childcare and housework, but I don't think he wants to do it very much. You don't do anything too much to say that simply because you're disappointed in your husband."

In response, the wife said "No. I raised my son alone for 7 years. Since I'm not a daughter, there were many things I couldn't handle, but I did my best to raise her. That's why I can't do it because my body is at the bottom of the floor, not because I don't want to do it."

However, Seo Jang-hoon sighed and "You have to listen to me to do something. Didn't I tell you. I know that's not what you mean, but it looks like it. I'm not blaming Subin. Did you come out because you wanted to fight with me?" he said in frustration. Other couples who were watching this also reacted anxiously, saying "We're not a jockey, a villain, a jockey."

Seo Jang-hoon "How does your wife feel when she sees herself. Do you think we should understand because we saw the video. What's wrong with you?" and his wife cried because she asked him, "It's because I don't want to play with my child."

Seo Jang-hoon "That's not what I said. I'm trying to tell you if there are any problems so that you don't get offended as much as possible. I hope you know how we feel with a good heart."

The controversy did not end there. In the video that followed, verbal abuse and assault between the couple were also released. The husband once reported his wife to the police. The wife "I hit my husband in the face. No matter how weak I hit, I guess it hurt. My husband's eyes turned and he hit me saying, 'You should get a grip and get beat up.'" The problem was that the young son was exposed to such a violent environment. The son "Mom and Dad are both the same. Dad kneels down and Mom doesn't know what's wrong. I can hear you screaming even if you're in the room"The mind becomes like a trash can." My head looks like a trash can. I hope it changes. I'm not fighting..", he confessed his innermost thoughts.

There was only silence at the studio site where he saw this, and Park Ha-sun shed tears and said, `Just divorce. What are you doing?" he said upset.
