20s Relationship Woes Shock 'Oh Eun Young Report' Panelists: 'New Slang Caused Panic!'

MBC's 'Oh Eun Young Report' is stirring conversations with its recent episode, which delved into the surprising concerns of young adults in their twenties.

The special broadcast, titled 'Youth Hell: Grown-ups Don't Know,' airing on September 8th at 10:50 PM KST, features candid discussions from university and high school students about their unfiltered thoughts on dating, marriage, and relationships.

Viewers are in for a shock as the show tackles topics like the definition of 'situationship,' cohabitation before marriage, and experiences with dating apps. A particularly shocking moment involves the introduction of a new slang term, 'XXXX,' used by the youth to describe their dating habits, which left the show's panel, the 'Oh-vengers,' visibly flustered and wide-eyed.

Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Oh Eun-young offered bold advice, stating, "When choosing a partner for marriage or a long-term relationship, two conditions are crucial: first, a person who makes you feel comfortable, and second, someone with whom you can do 'this.'" She further emphasized, "Sexual desire is a natural instinct. The key is mutual respect and practicing safe habits."

The episode also shed light on the mindset of the 'N-less generation,' young adults who have given up on dating, marriage, and childbirth. Many expressed feelings of inadequacy, stating, "I don't think I can be a good parent like my own," and "Marriage requires sacrifice."

Dr. Oh Eun-young shared a poignant personal anecdote about her late father, which moved everyone to tears. She recalled his words, "I was happy to have given birth to you. I love you," during his final moments. She concluded, "Children raised with love will eventually miss their parents. This is the essence of life and happiness. Marriage and childbirth are choices, but if you have the opportunity, I hope you experience becoming a parent." Her heartfelt message resonated deeply, leaving a lasting impact.

The 'Oh Eun Young Report: Youth Hell' special, filled with laughter and tears, airs on Monday, September 8th, at 10:50 PM KST.
