Actor Park Ha-sun showed empathy with the wife’s struggles, bringing laughter. On the 31st, on the JTBC show ‘Divorce Reflection Camp’, there was an exploration of household dynamics featuring a husband who excessively manages his wife’s weight and becomes angry, and a wife who faints from hypoglycemic shock but cannot let go of her eating habits. Seeing a husband who forces his wife to eat tofu dishes even on cheating days in the video, Park Ha-sun laughed, saying, “I, too, have been eating the same food for two weeks,” completely empathizing with the wife’s struggles.
Due to her husband Ryu Soo-young’s recipe development, Park Ha-sun shared a story that made everyone laugh, saying, “I ate kimchi radish and pork cutlet for two weeks, and once ate ramen 60 times.”
In another video, it was revealed that the wife, who needs dietary control due to diabetes, has an overeating habit, consuming five large hamburgers and a pizza, leading Park Ha-sun to understand the husband’s position, saying, “It seems like management is needed.” It was also revealed that this couple was facing issues due to completely different communication styles.
The husband responded to his wife’s emotional plea with robotic, AI-like responses, showing no empathy.
Wanting empathy, the husband suddenly shouted, threw his phone, and verbally abused her, shocking everyone. During the couple’s counseling, the first solution, counselor Lee Ho-seon surprised viewers by shedding tears and calling the husband “the most pitiable person I’ve met recently,” a first on ‘Divorce Reflection Camp’.
The husband himself shed tears during counseling, thinking of his wife who had begun considering divorce, and Lee Ho-seon told him that now, after giving up everything and coming down to live hard in her hometown, his wife should become his protector.
The main issue for the husband, the sudden outbursts, was due to accumulated stress and anger. To the husband, already stressed enough that only his right side of the face moved, counselor Lee Ho-seon delivered a worried warning, saying, “It’s a very serious signal. You should go to the hospital.”
In the couple’s psychodrama solution session that followed, Park Ha-sun and Jin Tae-hyun reenacted the wife secretly eating pizza and the husband excessively controlling her diet.
Watching Park Ha-sun’s vivid eating performance and Jin Tae-hyun’s impersonation of himself interrogating his wife, the husband was more impressed by the acting than reflecting on his ways.
In the second psychodrama, the husband, trapped in a cage, was given a chance to understand his wife’s trapped feelings, which he himself had created.
The husband expressed feeling stifled and said, “I think I understood my wife’s feelings for the first time,” taking the first step toward empathy. Meanwhile, in the next episode preview, Seo Jang-hoon bluntly tells the husband, “This is gaslighting. What you’re doing is wrong,” sparking curiosity about the new couple’s story. ‘Divorce Reflection Camp’ airs on the 7th at 10:40 PM.
