'Acting Couple' Faces Marital Crisis on 'Marriage Hell' Amidst Husband's 14-Year Habitual Departures

A couple, dubbed the 'Acting Couple,' will appear on MBC's 'Oh Eun Young Report - Marriage Hell' ('Marriage Hell') to reveal their struggles with the husband's repeated departures for the past 14 years.

In the episode airing on November 3rd (Monday) at 10:50 PM, the 'Acting Couple,' who married quickly after only three months of dating, will share their story. The wife revealed that her husband has been leaving home for 14 years, sometimes staying in cheap motels or even being forcibly returned home by the police.

Describing the emotional toll, the wife shared, "He disappears suddenly, unilaterally, like a time bomb. There were times he was gone for a month and a half," referring to the husband's departures which began before their first child's first birthday.

The root of the husband's repeated absences is alcohol. The husband, who works in pipe fitting and demolition, explained that he unwinds with drinks after physically demanding work. He confessed with shocking candor, "At first, it was just staying out overnight. I'd sleep at a jjimjilbang after drinking, but I gradually became bolder. I'd leave saying, 'Go f*** yourself.'"

The wife further elaborated on his severe drinking problem, stating, "My husband turns into the Hulk when he drinks." The footage provided to the production team showed the husband in a drunken state so extreme it was deemed unbroadcastable. Upon seeing the video for the first time, the husband admitted, "I'm a bit shocked too," unable to continue. Dr. Oh Eun Young issued a stern warning, "The alcohol use disorder is severe. Not a single drop of alcohol can be tolerated."

With a husband who habitually leaves and a wife left behind, what hidden wounds and stories lie within the 'Acting Couple'? Their journey will unfold on MBC's 'Oh Eun Young Report - Marriage Hell' on November 3rd (Monday) at 10:50 PM.

Netizens expressed deep concern and sympathy for the 'Acting Couple' upon learning about their situation. Comments such as "This is heartbreaking, I hope they can find a solution" and "The husband's behavior is alarming; Dr. Oh's intervention is crucial" flooded online forums.
