Singer and broadcaster Lee Ji-hye experienced the so-called "ghost discipline" program at Korea Folk Village, which has been engulfed in a child abuse controversy, during which her second daughter shed tears out of fear.

On the 9th, a video titled "Why did Lee Ji-hye's daughter break down in tears at Korea Folk Village to fix her bad habits? (Adusi, Ghost)" was released on the YouTube channel 'Mipji Anheun Gwanjong Unnie'.

In the released video, Lee Ji-hye visited Korea Folk Village with her two daughters. She went there to directly experience the ghost experience program that recently gained attention on social media under the nickname "The O Eun-young of Darkness."

Lee stated, "'The O Eun-young of Darkness' is extremely hot on SNS. I came to verify it because they say education can be accomplished in one go."

She continued, "However, there is a controversy for and against. There are opinions saying that discipline should or should not be done this way, but I don't really understand why it needs to go as far as causing trauma," adding, "I feel like you should let them taste it once."

Afterward, Lee confided her concerns about the daily habits of her second daughter, Ellie, to an 'Adusi' (a ghostly figure) dressed in costume. She explained, "There is one problem; she doesn't like washing, so she tries not to take a bath."

In response, the Adusi said, "We ghosts are friends with bacteria. If you don't wash your body or hair, and don't brush your teeth, the bacteria inside your body will say, 'Ghost, please come and catch us quickly.' I will catch you," scaring her.

Upon hearing this, Ellie shouted, "I'm not going. I hate it. It's scary," and burst into loud sobs. She then promised, "I will take a bath and do my homework well," while shedding tears.

In particular, when the Adusi said she would catch Lee Ji-hye instead, Ellie cried even louder, and was seen running to protect her mother.

After finishing the experience, Lee shared her honest feelings, saying, "I think if we do this, she will behave well for a while," but added, "However, it was heartbreaking seeing the child cry."

Meanwhile, Korea Folk Village's 'ghost discipline' program has recently been engulfed in a child abuse controversy.

The program proceeds by having an actor dressed as a ghost point out children's bad daily habits and scare them at the request of their parents. It gained attention to the point of earning the nickname "The O Eun-young of Darkness" on SNS, but it has been pointed out that the method of instilling fear in children could constitute emotional abuse.

In fact, as complaints demanding the suspension of the program were filed, Yongin City, the local government under jurisdiction, decided to conduct an on-site inspection together with child-related experts and police.

Regarding this, Korea Folk Village stated its position that the experience is conducted with the consent of a guardian and is operated so that it is immediately stopped if the child shows strong resistance.
