[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Actress Oh Cho-hee, who became a mother of twins on “Oh Eun-young Report: Marriage Hell,” opened up about her conflicts with her husband.

In Episode 180 of MBC’s “Oh Eun-young Report—Marriage Hell,” which aired on the 10th, the story of a “hot-and-cold couple”—a cold-hearted husband and a passionate wife—was revealed. Oh Cho-hee, who has been active in various fields including dramas, variety shows, and radio, appeared as a mother of twins in her third year of marriage and spoke publicly for the first time about her married life with her lawyer husband. Oh Cho-hee, who had reportedly wanted to consult with Dr. Oh Eun-young even before giving birth, tearfully expressed her struggles, ranging from parenting conflicts to communication difficulties.
Her husband lived in Seoul, while Oh Cho-hee and her 80-day-old twins lived in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, with her mother, leading a “weekend marriage” 340 km apart. Spending weekdays alone caring for the twins, Oh Cho-hee repeated the cycle of feeding them formula and putting them to sleep all day long while wearing braces on her back and wrists. She said she even suffered from mastitis because she dove straight into childcare without any time to recover after giving birth. Oh Cho-hee confessed, “My inflammation levels were 10 times higher than average. I was in so much pain that I barely remember that time; it felt like I was on the brink of death.” However, even when his wife complained that the pain felt like she was being cut with a knife, her husband prioritized the children, asking, “What are we going to do if the babies can’t breastfeed?” Even afterward, the couple’s constant miscommunication evoked sympathy from viewers.
Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzed that the husband, who prioritizes facts, was only explaining his own situation without considering the intent behind his wife’s words. Oh Cho-hee said, “Talking to my husband feels like talking to a wall. “He’s my husband, but it didn’t seem like he was the kind of person who would fight for me or stand up for me. I thought we might end up separating,” she said, eventually breaking down in tears. Dr. Oh Eun-young advised that emotional communication is only possible after first understanding the intent behind the questioner’s words, and urged Oh Cho-hee to clearly state what she wants first.
Her husband’s inexperience with childcare also shocked the studio audience. Even on weekends, he would focus on work right next to the twins, continuing his tasks with a child wedged between his legs. Later, he left the child alone on the bed and walked away; he even went so far as to handle work while feeding the baby formula, leading to a harrowing situation where the child vomited. Watching this, Dr. Oh Eun-young and the hosts urgently shouted, “You absolutely must not do that!” Jang Dong-min delivered a sharp rebuke, saying, “This isn’t just clumsiness—it’s a lack of effort.” Dr. Oh Eun-young also issued a firm warning, stating, “An accident can happen in the blink of an eye,” and emphasized the need to remain vigilant about the child’s safety.
Oh Cho-hee confessed, “My husband has been a Pokémon fan for 30 years. If I’d known he loved it this much, I wouldn’t have married him.” Not only does her husband mobilize equipment to compete in tournaments, but he even filled their honeymoon itinerary with Pokémon hunting. In particular, she exploded with pent-up anger when, on May 4—their wedding anniversary and the day before Children’s Day—her husband bought himself a Pikachu Edition merchandise item as a self-gift. Dr. Oh Eun-young pointed out the husband’s “priorities” regarding his family rather than the hobby itself. Oh Cho-hee felt that her husband—who claims to have no time due to his busy schedule—had pushed his family to the back burner by going to buy character merchandise the moment he had a brief moment of free time.
Dr. Oh Eun-young then emphasized that the most important priority for the couple was to end their 340-km long-distance weekend marriage and raise their children together. She also offered a practical solution: instead of trying to solve all their problems at once, they should start by living together at their home in Seoul and seek help to cover any gaps in childcare. At the end of the broadcast, an update was shared on the couple, who had immediately begun living together in Seoul. Oh Cho-hee reported that “the number of arguments has definitely decreased significantly,” and her husband also revealed that he is actively showing affection to the children and making an effort to spend time with the family on weekends.
Oh Cho-hee, who debuted in 2009, has appeared in dramas such as *Lovers in Haeundae*, *The Best Lee Sun-shin*, *Mrs. Cop*, *Voice*, *Black*, and *The Guest*. She has also appeared on variety shows, including *SNL Korea*. After getting married in 2024, she gave birth to twins.
