The the 20th broadcast of 'Oh Eun-young Report: Again, Love Afterward' reported on the current situation of the 'Bae-Geu Couple' husband, who is now raising two children after losing his terminally ill wife.

In that day's broadcast, viewers were shown the husband's daily life filled with deep guilt and sorrow from having lost the one he loved, as well as the eldest child's tears upon facing the reality that their mother's absence meant death. The husband explained that due to financial hardship, his wife's funeral was held without a viewing room. Later, 35 days after his wife passed away—on what would have been her 31st birthday—he held a belated funeral, moving viewers to tears.

The 'Bae-Geu Couple' husband previously became a topic of discussion for gathering game players who agreed to be 'killed' by them in-game as a final wish for his terminally ill wife. After his wife passed away, he continued to hold onto his love for her and is experiencing profound grief.

Following the broadcast, the 'Bae-Geu Couple' husband stated, "We sincerely bow our heads in gratitude for the excessive attention, comfort, and encouragement we received. Our family also watched the program through to the end." He added, "We earnestly wish that all who watched, contacted us, or even stumbled upon this message may continue to have days filled with happiness and peace."
