A couple who stirred controversy for their portrayal on the show 'High School Moms and Dads' appeared on 'Divorce Counseling Camp,' revealing a tumultuous dynamic marked by severe verbal abuse and alcohol issues.
In the episode aired on the 21st, the husband showcased violent tendencies, with the wife’s excessive drinking habits influencing their relationship. Notable personalities like Park Ha-sun expressed concern over the husband’s behavior, suggesting that their situation might eventually make headlines. The show recorded viewership ratings of 3.0% in the metropolitan area and 2.7% nationwide.
The couple, dubbed the 'Tyrant Couple,' faced scrutiny over their hostile interactions, compounded by their children witnessing nearly constant fights. In another segment featuring a different couple, the struggles of a family with six children highlighted significant issues in their domestic life, including the husband’s failure to contribute to household chores and responsibilities. MC Jin Tae-hyun illustrated the husband's stagnation, likening the environment to a primitive state, further heightening the show's tension.
This couple previously made headlines in 2022 on ‘High School Moms and Dads’ when the wife shared her story of being a teenage mother, resulting in accusations regarding the glorification of grooming that sparked widespread public outcry. Following the broadcast, calls for the cancellation of the program intensified. With ongoing discussions around such contentious topics, the impact of these portrayals continues to resonate with the audience.
