A couple who cut ties with their parents for five years due to opposition to their marriage visited 'Ask the Buddha.'

On the 1st, the KBS Joy variety program 'Ask the Buddha' featured a 46-year-old husband working in production and his 39-year-old wife, a driver.

The husband said, "Five years ago, while preparing to marry my wife, we had trouble with my parents and cut ties. Recently, I wanted to reconcile with my family, but my mother refused to tell me the location of the nursing home where my father is hospitalized."

The reason the couple grew distant from their parents was opposition to their marriage. Unlike the husband, who was marrying for the first time, the wife was a divorced woman with a six-year-old child at the time.

The husband recalled, "I tried to get my father's permission, but he absolutely opposed it. Even when I asked him to look at the person rather than the circumstances, he refused to let us meet at all." On the other hand, his mother supported the marriage, and the formal meeting with the families proceeded smoothly.

However, an unexpected tragedy struck during the marriage preparations. The husband's sister caused a serious traffic accident by running a red light, requiring millions of won to handle the incident. With the wedding just two weeks away, the anxious husband called his mother, but after his sister's accident, she refused to answer his calls entirely.

The husband stated, "I strongly felt that my mother, who had no financial means, rejected me to support my sister who needed a large sum of money, and eventually sided with my father who had opposed the marriage."

In response, Seo Jang-hoon said, "You are also being too harsh. Consider your parents' perspective." He added, "This is a situation where it costs 200 million won to handle everything after our daughter caused an accident. It's not about the son's marriage; if the daughter cannot reach a settlement, it will be a major problem. From the parents' perspective, they must have thought, 'I'll put out the urgent fire first.'"

The husband also shared an anecdote about gathering the courage late to visit his parents. He said, "I thought I had to visit them, so I went to their old house without prior contact. My mother's expression was cold, as if asking, 'Why are you suddenly appearing here?'" This evoked sympathy.

In particular, the husband said, "When I looked around the house, not a single trace of my father remained—not the bed he used, the wardrobe, or his clothes."
