[E-Daily Reporter Byung-ho Jang ] A story about a family struggling with the drastic changes in their daughter—who left for Seoul to start her married life but returned to her parents’ home after about a year—is set to be revealed.

Episode 176 of MBC’s “Oh Eun-young Report—Marriage Hell,” airing at 9 p.m. on the 13th, features a “helicopter couple” who are continuing to raise their granddaughter in their twilight years. The couple shares their concerns, explaining that their youngest daughter—who used to be capable and sharp—has returned looking completely different from before.

In the observation footage, the youngest daughter is seen staring into space and talking to herself, or speaking to the camera as if conversing with someone else. Even when her parents speak to her, she gives answers that don’t match their questions and often seems to lose track of the conversation’s context. The cast members watching this cannot hide their bewilderment at the unexpected situation.

The wife explains that after their youngest daughter returned to Seoul from Busan—her first visit in over a year—she began exhibiting strange speech and behavior. “She used to be a smart and capable child,” the wife says, “but now her mind seems to wander, and I can’t handle it. She even laughs to herself for no reason.”

Dr. Oh Eun-young closely observes the younger daughter’s speech and behavior throughout the recording. Dr. Oh states, “There is clearly a problem. She is showing symptoms of ‘this,’” and adds, “She needs active, professional treatment.” Upon hearing this unexpected diagnosis, the family is speechless for a moment.

The husband claims that his daughter’s change stems from her relationship with her ex-husband. He says, “Our younger daughter changed like this after being gaslit by her ex-husband.” However, the younger daughter leaves a cryptic remark: “Don’t try to find out about my ex-husband. I don’t really know much about him either.”

The younger daughter, who had been watching the recording in the waiting room, then heads to the studio herself. She opens up about her married life and the experiences she’s endured—things she hadn’t even revealed to her parents—and the couple breaks down in tears upon hearing her story. The cause of the younger daughter’s symptoms and changes, as well as the truth about her marriage that the family has come to face, will be revealed in today’s episode.
