A couple shared their concerns over their three children's successive withdrawals from school, to which Seol Jang-hoon offered firm advice.

In the the 4th broadcast of the KBS Joy variety program 'Ask the Buddha', a 39-year-old wife who runs a party room and a 43-year-old husband who operates a beauty salon appeared on the show, revealing, "The eldest and second children have already withdrawn from school, and we are worried that the youngest may also withdraw."

In response, Seol Jang-hoon asked, "What are the children currently doing?" The wife replied, "The eldest has been accepted into a university related to cosmetology, and the second is attending a practical music academy and deciding on a career path."

When asked whether they tend to give their children a lot of freedom, the wife explained, "They are not particularly good at studying, so we let them play as much as they wanted when they felt like it."

However, the husband confessed to conflicts with his eldest child. He stated, "The eldest wanted to become an athlete, but we haven't spoken for nearly a year and a half, and eventually, he quit sports altogether." He added that their relationship had deteriorated to the point where even daily conversation was difficult.

Listening to the story, Seol Jang-hoon remarked, "It seems you did everything out of love for your children and raised them with excessive indulgence," and advised, "Families must have their own laws. You need to set rules that ensure everyone follows them and respects each other."

Especially addressing children who turn their backs on their parents, he added a sharp warning on the broadcast: "You gave them everything they wanted and raised them with love, yet I have never seen someone who disregards their parents at this stage succeed. From now on, they must straighten out their minds."

Lee Soo-geun, who appeared alongside them, also showed a firm reaction to the eldest child's refusal to communicate, stating, "I won't talk. If you don't talk for two years, don't talk for three years."
