Oh Eun-young, a mental health specialist, opened up about the controversy over MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' (hereinafter referred to as 'Marriage Hell').



On the 23rd, Dr. Eun-young Oh directly issued an official position and said, "I saw the recently broadcast 'Go-Stop Couple' episode and saw that many people were worried and angry." I am well aware that the back is a very important topic."



Dr. Oh said, "My opinion was not fully reflected in the broadcast, so there were parts that were delivered differently than I intended." As I said in the books I've written, I'm very resolute. It should never be done, and it was explained that it is a part that can never be compromised.



Regarding the scene where the stepdad touches the body of the stepdaughter, Dr. Oh said, "There is no good intention for the husband of the performer." Rado strongly pointed out, "You must never touch a child's body carelessly or do anything that goes against the child's will."

Dr. Oh said, "I spent a lot of time during the filming, and as an extension of child abuse education, I emphasized 'do not force physical contact that children do not like' several times, and gave many educational points and explanations." There were many changes in the attitude of the performer's husband towards the child, but in the process of editing over 5 hours of recording to 80 minutes, many of these contents were inevitably not included, so I was seen as a person who neglected child molestation. I feel very miserable about what happened," he said, expressing his upset.



Still, he said, "The thing I'm most worried about right now is the child," and added, "I will actively support the parts that I can help so that the child can grow well."



In addition, he added, "I and the Oh Eun-young report production team will definitely continue to look at it together so that there is no concern. In addition, I will deeply engrave harsh criticisms and advice once again."



In 'Marriage Hell' on the 19th, the story of a remarried wife who has a seven-year-old daughter from her first marriage and her ex-husband confronts her about childrearing.



In particular, on the broadcast, the stepdad hugged her child while playing with her child and poked her child's butt saying 'playing with a fake injection', and some viewers raised the possibility of child abuse and criticized it.



Viewers criticized the production team and Dr. Oh Eun-young for neglecting child molestation and abuse that should be reported to the police.



On the 21st, two days after the controversy, MBC said, "After receiving the criticism, I decided that there was no room for excuses." Apologize.



<The following is the full text of Dr. Oh Eun-young's position>



Hello.

This is Eunyoung Oh.



Above all, I am very sorry and apologetic for the situation in which I am giving this statement to the viewers who have given me a lot of love.



After watching the recently aired 'Go-Stop Couple' episode, I saw that many people were worried and angry.

I am also well aware that this is a very important issue, and especially the welfare and safety of children are very important topics.



However, my opinion was not sufficiently reflected in the broadcast, so there were parts that were delivered differently than I intended, so I would like to carefully state a few facts.



I have been absolutely against corporal punishment for a long time.

As I have said in the books I have written so far, my thoughts on child abuse, violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence are very firm.

It should never be done, and it is something that can never be compromised.

Because I know how deeply they hurt a person's soul.



In the pre-filmed scene that surprised the viewers, I also had a lot of concerns.

Of course, for the performer's husband, he strongly pointed out that "you must never touch the child's body carelessly or engage in problematic behavior against the child's will" regardless of any good intentions.

The performer's husband was reported for child abuse by his wife due to the behavior of shouting and throwing things at the child, and was subsequently given an educational disposition by the police.

So, more and more time was spent during the filming, and as an extension of child abuse education, he emphasized 'do not force physical contact that children do not like' several times, and gave many educational points and explanations.

After that, in fact, many changes occurred in the attitude of the performer's husband towards the child.

However, in the process of editing over 5 hours of recording to fit 80 minutes, many of these contents were inevitably not included, and I feel very miserable that I was seen as a person who neglected child molestation.



Also, the mention of 'a child with a sensitive sense of touch' in the broadcast was not a reference to the daughter of the couple.

In general, in the case of children with sensitive tactile senses, it was an explanation emphasizing that even parents should not do it if the child expresses dislike, because the physical contact of parents who are close to them can feel uncomfortable and painful. My daughter wasn't like that.

It was never the explanation that the performer's children were to blame or that she was defending her husband's actions.

The part that said "My husband is sorry" is that he said 'I feel sorry for my husband's childhood' about having had an unfortunate childhood experience in the past.

It is not an explanation that tries to justify by linking the current problem behavior to the husband's unhappiness in the past.

Recalling childhood like this was also to strongly feel the importance of parental roles once again.



What worries me the most right now is the child.

I will actively support the parts that I can help so that the child can grow well.

Thank you for your warm interest and concern for your child.

I and the Oh Eun-young report production team will continue to look into it so that there is no concern.

In addition, I will deeply engrave the sharp points and advice once again.



Lastly, the reason why I have recently presented my opinion through various channels is because I thought it was the most convenient way for many parents in the world to find it.



However, since this broadcast caused various concerns, I am also very miserable and apologetic.

In the future, I will pay more attention to my opinion so that it can be delivered more accurately.
