Seo Jang-hoon Offers Candid Advice to Conflicted Wife on Divorce Contemplation Camp

MC Provides Heartfelt Counsel During Couple's Evaluation

On the latest episode of JTBC's 'Divorce Contemplation Camp' that aired on October 23rd, host Seo Jang-hoon delivered sincere advice to a wife struggling with her decision about divorce.

Unprecedented Separate Entry to the Camp

The program's 16th season featured its second couple, who made headlines by entering the camp separately for the first time in the show's history. This unusual arrangement came after a major argument occurred before their scheduled admission.

The husband's side of the story revealed a wife who allegedly expected princess-like treatment constantly. During her testimony, the wife reportedly crossed boundaries with harsh language directed at her spouse.

Both Sides Present Troubling Behaviors

When the wife's rebuttal video was shown, it depicted the husband displaying verbal aggression and violent tendencies, particularly when drinking. The wife raised serious concerns about her husband's behavior toward their child, stating he had made derogatory comments and showed disturbing reactions to the child's fear.

Conflicted Feelings About Divorce

Despite ongoing emotional battles with her husband, the wife expressed deep ambivalence about ending the marriage. She explained that while her divorce intention was initially 100 percent, considering their child reduced it to 50 percent. The wife acknowledged that although she viewed him as a bad husband by her standards, he might still be a good father to their child, noting that the child shows affection toward the father.

Separation Anxiety Revealed

In the mediation room, the wife confessed her true feelings, admitting she still has feelings for her husband and experiences separation anxiety when he's not around. This admission prompted both MC Seo Jang-hoon and Jin Tae-hyun to express confusion about what the wife actually wanted.

Seo Jang-hoon's Direct Advice

Seo Jang-hoon didn't mince words in his assessment, telling the wife that her divorce intention appeared to be zero percent rather than fifty. He encouraged her to stop deceiving herself about her true feelings and attributed her conflicted state to her youth and childlike qualities that prevent honest expression.

The MC concluded with reassuring words, advising her not to be overly anxious and reminding her that divorce, if it happens, is just one life event to navigate.
