Korean Couple Exposed For Leaving Their Baby To Smoke And Drink Trigger Public Outrage

Another shocking case has made its debut on Oh Eun Young‘s popular show Marriage Hell. This time, the therapist had to work with a couple who are currently both filing legal complaints against each other.

However, the most bewildering part was the couple’s day-to-day life — which at one point involved leaving their 17-month-old with their niece so they could smoke together in the bathroom.

Oh Eun Young’s Marriage Hell is a show that reveals the shocking daily life of couples in conflict. Oh invites these couple to the studio in hopes of solving their problems and helping them talk to each other. Meanwhile, Oh Eun Young herself is known as the “nation’s therapist” and the “god of parenting.” She became popular after her other show, My Golden Kids, went viral on multiple occasions.

The featured couple in this week’s episode triggered outrage not only in Oh’s studio but even across Korean forums online. Many could not believe the life these two adults led, especially when there was a baby involved. As the episode followed the couple’s daily life, the smoking scene left even Oh Eun Young herself disturbed.

Moreover, the couple also revealed that they are both dealing with alcohol addiction issues. The episode shows the two start drinking while having an ordinary meal and then never stop — leaving their baby to be cared for by their niece once more.

In another shocking scene, the wife is seen waking up late in the afternoon after previously drinking until dawn the night before. It seems the two had been drinking three bottles of soju the husband is seen buying earlier on in the episode.

The couple’s behavior — due to addiction and lack of responsibility — has triggered not only upset and shock but also a lot of sadness among netizens, who can’t help but feel bad about the baby involved in this unfortunate situation.
