The first will-reading experience was held.

On the JTBC ‘Divorce Consideration Camp’ broadcast on the 5th, a customized solution for the 6th couples was carried out in earnest, and the couples as well as MCs Park Ha-sun and Jin Tae-hyun shed tears as they looked back on their lives and married life.

The 6th couples and MCs Park Ha-sun and Jin Tae-hyun had time to look back on their lives by writing and reading a will, which would be their last letter in life, through group counseling. In particular, Jin Tae-hyun expressed his intention, saying, “I felt a lot while writing my will. I will use it as an actual will”, and Park Ha-sun, who said her goal was to read the will without crying, burst into tears as soon as she started reading. Above all, the wife of the ‘tyrant couple’, who had been in conflict due to bad conversation and drinking habits, shed tears for the first time, saying she was sorry to her husband, and the husband also accepted his feelings, which was touching.

Lee Ji-hyun, a former girl group member in her 5th year of divorce, and announcer Kim Hyun-tae, who has been divorced for 22 years, appeared and gave advice to each wife and husband in a ‘Conversation with Divorce Seniors’. In particular, Lee Ji-hyun honestly shared her experience of failing in remarriage and coolly advised her wife, a ‘instinctive couple’, who has to raise 7 children, “Don‘t even dream of remarriage. There is no one who will love 7 children.”.

She also informed the wives of the harsh reality of divorce, saying, “The fighting doesn’t end even after divorce.”. Meanwhile, the husbands asked announcer Kim Hyun-tae about remarriage, expressing their intention to do so. Announcer Kim Hyun-tae reminded such husbands of the weight of divorce by telling them about episodes with their children during the process of remarriage.

Couple counseling with experts in each field followed. First, a ‘debt couple’ having difficulties with family finances met with counselor Lee Ho-seon. In a test taken before the counseling, the wife scored a perfect 100 on the ‘stimulation-seeking temperament, and counselor Lee Ho-seon was surprised, saying, “I‘ve been counseling for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.” He then sharply pointed out, “Nine times out of ten, people with high stimulation-seeking tendencies are in debt,” and the wife ended up confessing her hidden debt. The husband, who found out about this through counseling, felt greatly betrayed by his wife who had lied, and began to consider divorce while reacting coldly to her tears.


The wife, who was a ‘instinctive couple’ after having seven pregnancies in about 12 years, met with an obstetrician and gynecologist, Park Hye-seong, and received a diagnosis of her physical condition. The wife shocked everyone by revealing that she had suffered from urinary incontinence and tooth loss even in her early 30s due to serious postpartum complications, and that she had even fainted during childbirth due to excessive bleeding. However, the husband could not empathize with his wife‘s pain, so specialist Park Hye-seong conducted an ‘indirect labor pain experience’ as a special solution for the husband. Here, the husband reflected on the past when he did not help with childcare and housework, understanding the pain of pregnancy and childbirth that his wife had gone through, saying, “It was the hardest pain I’ve ever felt in my life.”

Lastly, the results of a psychological and physiological test were also revealed, in which the couples asked each other questions they were curious about and found out whether their spouses’ answers were true or false. In the process, the answers to the questions the couples asked, such as, “Do you plan on paying back the money you borrowed from your husband?” and “Do you truly love your spouse?” were revealed along with the truth of the answers, which shocked many couples and raised curiosity about their final choice.
