"The father-in-law took all the wedding gifts."
The 19th generation shaman couple who appeared on JTBC's entertainment program 'Divorce Reflection Camp' revealed shocking economic conflicts and issues with the in-laws. In particular, the revelation of the father-in-law's financial exploitation that began right after the marriage sparked outrage among viewers.
On the broadcast on the 26th, the story of the last couple of the 19th generation was revealed. On this day, the husband confessed that the start of their married life was 'debt.' He recalled, "Right after we got married, I vividly remember taking out a loan to pay off my father-in-law's 3.5-ton truck loan," expressing his frustration at the time.
The wife also acknowledged the pain caused by her father. According to her testimony, the father-in-law even used the credit cards of his daughter and son-in-law, and it was revealed that he took all the wedding gifts that came in on the wedding day. The studio fell silent at the fact that he not only demanded guarantees and loans from his son-in-law before the wedding but also took the wedding gifts.
When MC Jin Tae-hyun asked why the husband paid off the father-in-law's debt, the husband replied, "At that time, in my 30s, I did it without much thought," adding, "Who could I blame?" which deepened the sense of pity.
However, such sacrifices became poison in their marital relationship. The wife expressed that she felt her husband would hold the debt repayment over her head for life, and she voiced the pressure from her family's debt issues that had continued since before their marriage. Economic problems led to mutual disregard. The husband claimed that the wife ignored him, while the wife explained that comments made during a time when she earned four times more than her husband in the past seemed to have caused misunderstandings, leading to a tense standoff.
Amid the revelation of the financial issues hidden behind the unique professional background of being shamans and the deep emotional rift between the couple, attention is focused on whether they can find a clue to restore their relationship through the camp.
Meanwhile, 'Divorce Reflection Camp,' which offers solutions to couples in crisis, airs every Thursday at 10:30 PM.
