The wife of the "top-ranked couple" who appeared on MBC's 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' shared updates on her family's life following the broadcast.

On the 14th, through her social media, she stated, "It was an embarrassing face of a couple that we were ashamed to show others, but while watching the program, many people empathized with our story as it resonated with their own experiences. We are truly grateful for all the words of encouragement and comfort after seeing the challenges of a remarried family and the realistic struggles of raising young children."

She continued, "Since filming, my husband and I have been getting along much better than before," noting that changes have occurred in their marital relationship.

The wife revealed that her husband has started taking medication for adult ADHD to improve work efficiency and productivity while reducing emotional volatility and impulsivity. She explained, "He decided once again to seek the help of medication for his own transformation, and at the same time as starting the medication, he also vowed to stop drinking."

The couple has also developed shared hobbies. The wife, who began exercising with her husband once a week at Hyrox, said, "Without even having a honeymoon period, we have many children, so there was no time for just the two of us. We plan to strengthen our bond as a couple by engaging in sports that we both enjoy."

Additionally, they are scheduled to receive couples counseling. The wife stated, "We aim to improve our immature and clumsy ways of expressing ourselves and make changes for each other, for our children, and for our family."

She also shared updates on their eldest child, who had raised concerns during the broadcast. The wife said, "Recently, our eldest child has been receiving psychological counseling with me once a week and visiting a pediatric psychiatry clinic every two weeks."

She further explained, "The child is currently taking medication to reduce anxiety and help with sleep disorders, and through psychological counseling, they are learning how to express emotions and manage anxiety. Fortunately, positive changes are beginning to appear."

She also opened up about her feelings of guilt and gratitude toward her eldest child.

Holding her 10-month-old baby who was not yet a year old, she recalled the time when she became a single mother at age 24. She confessed, "Time has passed, and I am now forty years old, but it seems I have remained mentally and emotionally stuck at twenty-four, never growing up, still living in a state of instability and immaturity."

She continued, "To protect such an anxious and unstable mother, our eldest child must have matured early and lived while keeping themselves locked away. Although I am very curious about the story of my biological father, for over ten years, I never asked once because I knew it would make me sad and hurt."

She expressed regret, saying, "I realized too late that our child closed their heart to protect their hurting mother. I also learned too late that they love their mother very much, accept their stepfather as their own father, and actually find their younger siblings cute."

She added, "I feel it is a waste of time to dwell on self-blame, so I vow to express myself more from now on. If verbal expression is difficult, writing letters would be good, so I will do everything I can."

She also shared her thoughts on the broadcast editing and malicious comments. The wife said, "Since broadcasts inevitably involve editing and direction, there are many parts that are exaggerated or omitted compared to reality," but added, "When we decided to appear on the program, we considered these aspects, so we are not responding to each one individually."

However, she urged, "We hope people understand that even we are hurt by comments that go beyond reasonable limits."

Finally, she said, "For two weeks, we received a lot of attention, encouragement, and advice for our 'top-ranked couple,' and we are truly grateful. Now, we will return to our daily lives and live with our four children, cooking together, laughing together, and loving each other."
