1. Introduction to the Korean Divorce Show

In this episode of "Moral Of The Story," host Stephanie Soo delves into the chaotic world of a trending Korean reality TV show titled "Divorce Camp." Unlike typical reality shows, "Divorce Camp" televises intense and often dramatic divorces, allowing the entire nation and online communities to weigh in on the couples' relationships.

Stephanie Soo [02:05]: "This Korean TV show has been blowing up recently because it's basically that divorce court televised for the entire nation."

2. Format and Concept of "Divorce Camp"

"Divorce Camp" recreates a courtroom setting where married couples present their issues without the presence of traditional attorneys. Instead, five hosts act as mediators, and a live audience of previous participants provides input. The goal is to determine whether couples should stay together or proceed to "Divorce Camp," a subsequent phase aimed at reconciliation through counseling and structured activities.

Stephanie Soo [05:22]: "It's a series. So this first part is going to be divorce court. And then at the end, they will give you a verdict."

3. Case Study: Mimi and Bobo

The focal point of the episode is the marriage of Mimi and Bobo, a middle-aged couple whose relationship is unraveling under the weight of several personal and familial issues.

• Mimi's Perspective:

  • Struggles with her husband's alcoholism, which has led to severe health problems and multiple hospitalizations.
  • Feels trapped between her mental health issues and her desire to save her husband's life.
  • Overwhelmed by the lack of financial stability, relying solely on her late father's inheritance.

• Bobo's Perspective:

  • Unemployed due to a work accident, leading to boredom and increased alcohol consumption.
  • Feels unsupported and is frustrated by the household's chaos and lack of responsibility.
  • Exhibits erratic behavior, further straining the marriage.

Mimi [05:13]: "I need peace of mind and less stress. But because my husband drinks, I'm under more stress."

4. Evidence Tapes: Unveiling the Dysfunction

"Divorce Camp" utilizes evidence tapes—compiled footage from the couple's daily lives—to showcase the extent of their marital issues. For Mimi and Bobo, these tapes reveal:

• Alcoholism: Bobo's relentless drinking, consuming large quantities of soju throughout the day, impacting his health and behavior.

• Household Negligence: Mimi and Bobo live separately within the same house, indicating significant emotional distance. Mimi sleeps in the living room, while Bobo isolates himself in his bedroom.

• Financial Mismanagement: The couple lives off a finite inheritance, with no clear plan for sustainability as funds deplete.

• Second Generation Chaos: Mimi has brought her 31-year-old son and his girlfriend into the household, both of whom are unemployed and heavily reliant on her for financial support and daily needs.

Bobo [08:54]: "This is not the problem. Seeing the shit show that is our home every single day, I mean, I really just want to leave immediately and go live by myself."

5. Family Dynamics and Additional Strains

The introduction of Mimi's adult son and his girlfriend exacerbates the couple's problems:

• Dependency Issues: The son, a 31-year-old unemployed gamer, and his girlfriend contribute to the financial and emotional strain on Mimi.

• Lack of Boundaries: The son's girlfriend exhibits manipulative behaviors, such as demanding money for personal needs, which Mimi enables by providing for them despite their lack of contribution.

• Communication Breakdown: Mimi prioritizes her son’s well-being over addressing the underlying issues with her husband, leading to unresolved tensions.

Son's Girlfriend [75:02]: "Do you have Manon?"

6. Producer Reactions and Verdict

The producers of "Divorce Camp" express increasing bewilderment and concern as Mimi and Bobo's situation unfolds. They recognize the severe dysfunction within the household and the potential for irreversible damage if the issues remain unaddressed.

Producer [29:12]: "She was like, I love Taehyung. He's so handsome. I even paid to watch his dramas that he's in."

Ultimately, the producers decide that Mimi and Bobo are a suitable pair for "Divorce Camp," hoping that the structured environment and professional counseling can salvage their deteriorating marriage.

Producer [88:37]: "So with that, court is adjourned. And now they are headed to divorce camp with the two other couples that are also going to divorce camp."

7. Cultural Context and Audience Reception

Stephanie Soo provides cultural insights into the normalized perception of divorce and alcoholism in South Korea, highlighting how societal pressures and traditional expectations complicate marital issues. She also touches upon the influence of Korean celebrities and societal norms on personal relationships and family dynamics.

Korean netizens are highly engaged with the show, expressing shock and fascination at Mimi and Bobo's predicament. Comments range from disbelief at the family's dysfunction to curiosity about the outcomes of their participation in "Divorce Camp."

Stephanie Soo [86:19]: "This is crazy. Everybody's a giant baby. Nothing's going right."

8. Conclusion and Future Episodes

The episode concludes with Mimi and Bobo's departure to "Divorce Camp," leaving listeners eager for the next installment. Stephanie Soo teases future episodes, promising to uncover more dramatic and unsettling stories from various couples navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce under the public eye.

Stephanie Soo [89:00]: "Next episode is going to come out in like the next few weeks. So please let me know if you want this."

Get your Blazers. Get your trousers. Get your ankle socks. Why are you looking at my pits? Don't look at them. Don't look at them. He said, honey, you look so beautiful in a kitchen curtain. I said, that is actually the best compliment. Get your trousers. Get your little belts. Get those cufflinks. We're going to court, baby. We're going to divorce court. Not us. He's looking at me like, what is happening? Okay. Do you ever. Do you ever think about what happens inside a family court? You walk in, there's a couple getting divorced. They've got their attorneys. They're screaming at each other. And you just know that these family attorneys, first of all, they've seen, like, the worst of the worst in humanity. That's what they say. They say they've seen the most deprived shit with divorce attorneys.

[Co-Host]

Are those, like, ever?

[Comedian/Host]

No.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

No. Family court is private. Huh? And this. This Korean TV show has been blowing up recently because it's basically that divorce court.

[Co-Host]

I thought you were gonna say this Korean church couple.

[Comedian/Host]

No, no, no. But, you know, anyway, it's gonna. It's gonna come full circle. Okay? So this Korean TV show has been going viral recently because. Divorce Court. But televised for the entire nation, for all of the netizens to give their input on this person's relationship, which I can imagine is so insane. And it just progressively gets worse and worse. And this is all Koreans can talk about. Our Korean researchers were like, if you have not seen this episode of this show called Divorce Camp, I don't know what you're doing, because this is the most insane thing that we have ever. Like, our mouths were agape the whole time.

[Co-Host]

So it's a Korean court with a divorce couple.

[Comedian/Host]

It's Korean divorce camp. The way they set it up is a married couple walk into a courtroom, like, setting. It's not real court, but it's a courtroom, like, setting. They sit on opposite sides, and instead of attorneys, you have, like, five different hosts that are sitting there. And husband brings the evidence, wife brings the evidence. Who wanted to get divorced? Divorced. First they get to say their piece, and then in the pews, you know, because you got the whole. People can come and watch the court. Those are previous couples that were on episodes previously. And it's like the two of you yesterday were just screaming at each other, and then today they're sitting and watching this new couple going.

[Co-Host]

We could never.

[Comedian/Host]

That could never be us. We're absolutely perfect.

[Co-Host]

This is wild.

[Comedian/Host]

It's so wild. Even the theory, the concept, everything about someone had to have just been like, who harmed you to create this show? Who hurt you?

[Co-Host]

I think these reality shows.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, are so good. And the craziest thing is, you know, divorce has been on the rise in Korea, and people are trying to normalize divorce, which I think is a good thing everywhere. Divorce is not necessarily the worst thing in the world, especially if you're in, like, a toxic or even like, an abusive relationship, obviously, divorce. Right. But my sister was saying it is kind of sick and twisted. Like, initially, it feels like the shows are here to make everyone, everyone normalize divorce, feel more comfortable with the idea of divorce. Let it be better for toxic couples to break up. But then it also somehow became you just start feeling good about yourself after watching these shows. Because my mom be watching these shows nonstop, and I'm like, mother, you're divorced, okay? You've been divorced. And we keep telling you to find a boyfriend. You've. You hate daddy. We know this, right? And she'll say, no, this helps me realize I made the right decision. And we'll just be having the conversation in front of my dad because they still hang out. And I'm like, okay, this is wacky. You guys are wacky.

[Co-Host]

So at the end of each episode, is there, like, a verdict? Like, oh, you guys should divorce, or you guys should work it out? Is that how it goes?

[Comedian/Host]

It's a series.

[Co-Host]

So what?

[Comedian/Host]

It's a series. So this first part is going to be divorce court. And then at the end, they will give you a verdict of, we don't think this is possible anymore. Or they will say, you're gonna go to divorce camp. And it's like a reality show of divorce camp where they go. They talk to marriage counselors, and they have to figure out their lives to save it. Yes. Welcome to part one. We have Mimi and Bobo.

[Co-Host]

Shut up.

[Comedian/Host]

That's my names for them. Okay. Mimi and Bobo, the married couple, they're middle aged. The producers welcome them into the courtroom. Welcome, welcome. Please take a seat. Mimi looks like. Mimi looks kind of strong. She doesn't really necessarily look like a church ajumma. She doesn't look like a either, which is like at the market. Ajumma, she kind of reminds me of like your aunt's friend who is very aggressive and you feel really weird. Like you're trying so hard to be polite to this elderly woman, but then she'll just hit you with the why are you eating so much? And then you're like, okay, you know what, lady? Did I go enlist 20 of your flaws. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you say that just now? Like, that's really rude.

[Co-Host]

How old is she?

[Comedian/Host]

That's the vibe. She's giving like 60. Okay. When you say middle aged, she's giving like 50.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Then we got Bobo. Bobo is the husband and he looks like he's probably in his 50s, but he looks like an 80 year old Ajushi from church. He looks like a church ajushi? Yeah. You just know that he walks a little slower. And then he sits down. And then you're talking to him, you're having a conversation and you're like, I don't know if he is listening. Like, I don't know if he could hear me. You just keep. And then they're just like, oh. And then you're like, oh my God, I want to eject myself from this situation because what am I doing with this couple? So they walk into the courtroom, business casual. I mean, truly, they look like a normal couple. And the wife sits down and she begins, I just keep getting traumatized. Is there any reason I should keep protecting this man and our family? And the husband says, no. Bobo says, this is not the problem. Seeing the shit show that is our home every single day, I mean, I really just want to leave immediately and go live by myself. I can't do this anymore. And they both bring video evidence tapes. I don't know if this is divorce court. I don't know if this is like a criminal case. Because the way that they're bringing in evidence tapes, I'm like, I feel like I'm watching CSI Miami. Yeah, they said roll the tapes bit. We get a glimpse of the wife's.

[Co-Host]

Tape, evidence file 001.

[Comedian/Host]

We see, we see the husband laying in bed and she slowly sneaks up behind him to. And then she reaches up, covers his nose, and I'm like, oh, my God, she's about to try to kill him right now. She's about to strangle him. She just puts her finger under his nose. And she tells the court, I have to put my hand on my husband's nose like this to check if he might be dead, because he could be dead at any point in this given time. And then the husband.

[Co-Host]

What does that mean? I'm sorry, what does that mean?

[Comedian/Host]

We don't know. So then the producers, they're already getting into it. The producers are like, husband, please can you explain yourself? And he says, I do drink 24 hours a day. I do. Yeah. Which is. We're not laughing, but we are laughing because his response is crazy. I will say drinking is a huge problem in Korea. I think alcoholism is a huge problem anywhere. But in Korea specifically, I can only speak on, like, the Korean culture aspect that I know of. I would say a lot of Koreans I know may deal and, like, struggle with a drinking problem, because it's very normalized in Korea. So it's not actually seen and handled like alcoholism is handled even in the US Which I don't even think is great. Like, the way that people push alcoholic beverages on anyone that is of a drinking age, they're like, come on, just drink. You're having fun. Let's drink. And it's like, I just don't really want to. Like, you don't have to make me drink. I'm fun either way. Okay, that's really rude that you think I'm boring. But in Korea, it's, like, pretty intense. And it's very normalized to see Ajashi's, like, passed out on the street. You'll be in, like, a bar type area, and after work, like 3am you'll see an ajoshi laying on the sidewalk. And then the police are like, ajushi, go home to your wife. Like, that's how they treat it. So if the tone in this entire episode of this reality show is conveyed a little lightly, that's probably why. So now there's a video clip of him setting up a table in his bedroom, sitting on the floor, drinking soju. And back in divorce court. He looks a little drunk. Yeah, he does. And he looks like he's over this already.

[Co-Host]

He's in divorce court. He's drunk.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, he looks a little drunk. Okay. He looks like he's over all of this. And the husband is trying to explain to the divorce court attorneys, the producers, you know, it's not even just that. It's not my drinking problem that's the problem. She blames it all on me. The real problem is there's strangers living in our house. There's a strange girl just living in our fucking house. And then we see another clip. And this is just giving us an idea of what we're about to head into. We see this sleep paralysis demon girl just scurry out of the bedroom in the middle of the night into the kitchen. And you're like, who the fuck is that? What the hell is going on? Divorce court is in session. Tung. Tung. This is how we begin. So the producers, they've got their files in front of them, and they say, let's get serious. Let's get down to business. We've been through 25 different couples this past season. We need to get a. We need to get a move on it. How long have you two been married? The wife says seven years. Oh, okay. So this is not your first marriage. Are you both remarried? Bobo's like, no, my wife is my first marriage, but I'm her second marriage. And who here is filing for the divorce? Mimi raises her hand. She's so eager. She's like a little student in class. She's like, me, I want to divorce this bitch. That's me. It's not easy, Mimi. I'm sure, you know, making this decision, especially since it's your second marriage, because, you know, one divorce is already stigmatized. Two, it's like the double whammy. So, like, tell us, why do you want to get a divorce so bad? Like, what is it? And she's struggling to come up with the word. So he says, you know what? Don't even tell us. Roll the tape. Pool a the evidence. Evidence one from the wife's perspective. So this is everything that she has detailed. It's a vlog. They have set up cameras all up in the house. This is what the show does. So they show you, like, a week in their life, and the wife gets to pull all the instances where she's like, see? He always does this. He always does this. He always does this. And then compiled it down into a 10 minute incriminating block of, like, the relationship's worst parts.

[Co-Host]

Damn.

[Comedian/Host]

I know.

[Co-Host]

Wow.

[Comedian/Host]

And I was trying to think, like, what would we include in our tapes?

[Co-Host]

Like, you have no choice, right? If the camera is just rolling. Yeah, yeah, man. I mean, I'll be on my best behavior, right?

[Comedian/Host]

I'll be like, what would you include on my tape? Oh, like, we choose and take Choosing.

[Co-Host]

I don't know. Did you catch that fart? Okay, daddy, that was us. Stinky one. You see the green cloud?

[Comedian/Host]

I would make a compilation of all the times this guy is complaining about his knee being bad recently. Bro, I don't know what it is. It hasn't even been past his birthday. Something has switched in his brain in the past two months, and anything, anything is going on in the world. And he will be in the shower. Honey, I don't know. My. My right knee. My right knee. Every time, I bet. Butt naked, mind you, the shower, he's like, here, when I bend this deep. And he's like, bending. Butt naked in the shower. And I'm like, okay. And then he's like, no, no, no, no. It's fine, though. Don't worry about me. Okay. Okay. This is getting crazy. Okay. It would be a compilation of that. Well, she goes on and she says, this is my compilation. It's a snowy morning, eight in the morning. Husband Bobo wakes up first in the bedroom. They don't even sleep together. Ding, ding, ding. Okay, I do think that separ sleeping is good if that's what the couple likes. Like, I know couples that genuinely have sleep problems or they have different sleep schedules. They like to sleep separately or just to have their own space. They feel like they bond better. But that doesn't seem to be the case for this one. Like, they look like they just can't stand each other. He wakes up alone in the bedroom. Meanwhile, Mimi is sleeping in the living room in front of the TV on a mattress on the floor, and they sleep separately. He wakes up. The first thing he does is turn the lights on in the living room. He walks outside, living room, turns on the lights. Wife wakes up from the mattress. Like, what the was that? What the was? I think that is the worst way. Like, I think that's way to ruin the marriage. Number one is to wake each other up by turning on all the lights. Like, that is crazy. My mom used to do that to me. Crazy. Crazy. Especially the overhead lights. Like a lamp. I think that's really sweet and soft like a faraway lamp. You know, overhead lights is insane. Like, you. Like, I must have told you, you must wake me up in order for that to happen. Anyway, he turns it all on. She's looking at. She gets up, looking at him, hair all crazy. She's looking at him like, what the f was that about? He immediately reaches into the fridge, grabs something, walks back into the bedroom. Does not turn off the lights in the living room. I can see why? This is in the evidence tape. He goes. He sits down on his little floor table, pours himself a big cup of soju.

[Co-Host]

No way.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. And he wakes him up.

[Co-Host]

He wakes himself up by a cup of soju.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. And a lot of people, Okay, a lot of Korean netizens were saying, this is actually waking me up to the fact that I have an alcohol problem.

[Co-Host]

Oh. That's when they realized that they have.

[Comedian/Host]

An alcohol problem again. Because it's so normalized. Like, even when the producers are watching this, they're like, oh, he's drinking soju like water. So he drinks a whole cup of soju first thing in the morning. Then he hops back in bed and he lays down and he starts looking on his phone. And you know what this pose has? This is the pose my mom tells every man not to do. This is the pose. Okay? She told us this as kids. She says, when there are chores to be done in the house, you don't lay on your back. Okay? You never. She said, when there is chores in the house and a man is on the couch on his back. Divorce babes.

[Co-Host]

Or like, you're just, like, plopping onto the couch or on the bed.

[Comedian/Host]

It's the body language of someone who's done all their chores. And then you're like, but we got stuff to do in the house. So I don't know what energy that is. He's fully on his back. Not only that, he's got one leg, one knee up. Okay. And then the other leg is crossed on his knee like that. You know what I mean?

[Co-Host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

You know, so he really looks like the bills are paid, the dishes are washed, the trash has been taken out, which is fine, but those better be done is what my mom would say. Okay? That's how my mom said, when there's chores, you don't lay on your back. So that's what she's doing.

[Co-Host]

Your mom is saying, like, it's you. If you want to sit down, make sure you sit with your back straight.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Or like, finish all the chores and then you lay down.

[Co-Host]

I see, I see.

[Comedian/Host]

You know what I mean? Or like, she's saying, like, the worst is when you see couples and the wife is, like, very busy cleaning. And then the man is laying down, like, all the bills are paid, the chores are done. When it's like, what's going on? Your wife is over there doing that right now. Get up, get up. Okay? So then he gets up 20 minutes later. It's like he heard my Mom. But then he goes to just pour himself another glass of soju. And he does this every few hours from beginning of the morning to the end of the morning. He's unemployed. He's unemployed.

[Co-Host]

Okay, okay.

[Comedian/Host]

Now the wife, she wakes up in the morning and she's looking around. First thing my husband does, wake up, drink. Middle of the day, wake up, drink. Nighttime, wake up, drink. That's it. Now they pause the evidence tapes. Back in divorce court, the producers are saying, are you telling me that your husband maintains a 24 hour blood alcohol level? Like, this is. Is crazy. Like, is that what you're telling us right now? Like, this is fascinating. They say it's fascinating how much he drinks. And then they even go to see all of his drink stash. The entire. They have like a second fridge for all of his soju. He just drinks all day long. He drinks it like water. So now people are getting confused. Back to the evidence tapes. In the middle of the day, when he's passed out on the bed, she'll sneak up behind him.

[Co-Host]

Oh. To see if she's okay.

[Comedian/Host]

She'll just whack him on the head. No, I'm just kidding. She'll just put her hand in front of his mouth to make sure that he's still breathing. He's been taken to the hospital twice because of his alcoholism. So it's getting very serious and he's not doing anything about it. And this is actually quite a serious part of the segment. I think they take it seriously. Not as seriously as I wish they would take it, but maybe they're not trying to alienate him during the conversation. I don't know. Right. But he went through a day where he drank. I think it was 10 bottles of soju within hours. That's about seven bottles of wine. 34 beers or just straight up, like 30 shots of vodka in terms of, like, alcohol volume. Wow. So he said that day, my stomach hurt so badly, my wife had to drag me to the hospital. They're in the icu. People are telling him, your life is in danger. You could die. And he says, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna quit drinking. I'm gonna quit drinking. But now in front of the producers, and he says, I don't really think I have a problem. Like, I can control my drinking. It's just that I like it. So it's not that big of a problem. They're like, oh, no, this man is in denial right now. Now back to the tapes. We see Mimi stressing out that her husband is literally killing himself by Drinking. And she's getting very stressed out about this. But then you see in the next clip that she's taking him to the grocery store to buy him boxes and boxes of soju. So we're like, why the fuck are you buying him the soju if he's gonna die from the soju? And, like, what is your deal? And she tells the producers, he's just really fucking annoying when he's not drunk. So, like, what the hell is going on in divorce court? They paused the tape, and the producers are looking at this couple because already this is messier than they could have ever expected. I mean, all the other couples that they've dealt with previously, it's like, my husband sits on his ass and won't do the chores. And then they're, like, fighting and arguing. And this is like. They keep saying, we're not. I don't think you guys are planning a divorce. I think you guys are planning a funeral. Like, what is happening right now? Like, he's dying. You're enabling the dying. What are you guys doing right now? And so they ask, who's the one that wanted the divorce? Mimi says, I am the one that initiated this process. I am the one that wants a divorce. Bobo tells the producers, I think I want to divorce maybe 50%. Mimi stares him down, which is like, are you kidding me? Right? Is very aggressive.

[Co-Host]

She's offended.

[Comedian/Host]

If I hear those words come out of someone's. Right out of someone's mouth, the translation is, are you joking me? But it's truly like, hey, I'm two seconds away from whipping your ass.

[Co-Host]

You say that again, like, yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Which is like, yeah. Is like, very aggressive. You.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

Is like, are you playing? But it's very like, you only say that when you're ready to commit a felony assault. You don't say that, okay? For no reason.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

You know, Like, I don't.

[Co-Host]

I don't know who I'm gonna say that to, but I'm gonna.

[Comedian/Host]

You stored it in your bank.

[Co-Host]

I'm gonna save it for a situation.

[Comedian/Host]

And so she's like, I am so dumbfounded. I mean, I'm wondering if my husband is in his right mind. I have truly never done anything wrong. This guy is fucking crazy. I want a divorce because he wants to drink himself to death. I've done nothing. And the husband starts arguing over the table. No, there are other problems inside of our house other than the alcohol. So the producers are like, what are the problems? And they roll the tape and they say, wait, wait, what is that? What is that? What we're watching right now. So, because it's like CCTV footage of their living room, we see a time where neither of them are in the living room. Both Mimi and Bobo are not there. And then another door opens from the other side of the house, like we've never seen this door before. And out walks this girl with long hair. Her face is blurred in the camera, and she's wearing a floor length pajama. Like those velvet Christmas pajama dresses. It's more like a towel blanket than it is a pajama.

[Co-Host]

Like what you're wearing?

[Comedian/Host]

Yes, but like velvet and to the floor.

[Co-Host]

Okay, what color is it?

[Comedian/Host]

White? No, it's like a dark purple with little. Little cute stuff on there.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

And so she's walking out and she looks like she's sneaking around. And the producers are like, what the fuck is this? This. Who is this person? Why did she just crawl out? It's like a cockroach. Like, you know, would they wait until the lights are off to crawl out? That's what this reminds them of. So the. They're confused what's going on? And Bobo informs them her son, Mimi's son, you know.

[Co-Host]

Bobo say her son?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, Mimi son. Because they've only been married for seven years. This is not his son. Oh, Mimi's son lives with us. But not only that, but he has invited this strange girl, his girlfriend, to come live with us. And she is now crawling out of the woodworks to find something to eat, to find something to snack on. And Mimi starts smiling and she's explaining to the producers, okay, my son is like 30. He's 31. But the reason that he's living with us is because, well, three years ago, Covid hit and, you know, everything started kind of going to shit. And we thought he could move in with us, and it was not that bad of a deal. So they're asking, okay, so is the husband working? Is Bobo working? No, Boba's not working. When Covid hit, a lot of stuff happened, and then he became ill, so he couldn't work in construction anywhere. And we live mainly off of the expenses with my father's inheritance. My father passed away in 2019, and we're just living off that inheritance.

[Co-Host]

Oh, Mimi doesn't work. Bobo doesn't work.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, so they're like, mimi doesn't work, Bobo doesn't work. Do the kids work? No. So then we get another clip of the evidence tape. The little cockroach goes back into sleep. And then we see the Husband come out and Mimi's back on the mattress. And he's like, can I get Madon? It's like, can I get $10?

[Co-Host]

Wait, who's asking?

[Comedian/Host]

Bobo's asking Mimi, can I get $10? And he's just standing there like a five year old kid who's like asking his mom in a very be just annoyed way. Like, I want to go to the the store. I want to buy that action figure that nobody else is buying. Can you buy me that action figure? And so then she goes to her wallet and she's groaning as she's going through her wallet. And this literally is like what we're going to be doing in three years with Sophie and Mia. Like, I can just see it right now. They're going to be like, momo, panda, give me $10. And then we're gonna be like. It's the energy of like when a child is asking you for money. But this is her husband. This is our husband. Okay. So then she gives it to him. He goes to the convenience store and buys alcohol. He comes back and just keeps drinking. And Mimi is explaining to the producer, stop the tape. Okay, the reason that I let him drink is because he won't eat anything. The only time he eats is when he's drinking. And the only thing he eats even when he's drinking is like a piece of dumpling, One tangerine, a slice of like meat. That's it. That's all he'll eat all day. It's like the drink is his main dish. It's his soju. If he's not drinking, he won't eat anything. And so I feel like if I deprive him of drinking, then he's gonna die because he's not gonna eat. So I'm really stressed out today. The producers are looking at him like, you can't do that. You can't do that. Like, this is very serious. This is your life on the line right now. So Mimi is trying to excuse herself. The only reason that I buy boxes upon boxes upon boxes upon boxes upon boxes upon boxes of soju is because I'm just trying to get him to eat. And they're all kind of looking at her like, but we're not gonna go there.

[Co-Host]

Are we saying, like, she doesn't see the true issue here? She doesn't think drinking is that big of an issue, or.

[Comedian/Host]

No, it's like he clearly doesn't see the issue, right? Which a lot of people that are struggling with certain addictions don't see the issue. But it's the fact that she complains about it non stop. Not that complaining is bad. I don't think she should be complaining. I think she should be assisting him. But it's the fact that she's enabling him but then giving herself a holier than thou excuse. If you actually cared about your husband, you would not do that.

[Co-Host]

Right? Right.

[Comedian/Host]

So the producers are kind of like, I don't know, this is. We're gonna hold off our judgment until the husband's tapes. But it's just a little bit odd. Like it's an inkling of a little bit of doubt has been sewed in the producer's mind. Because when she walked up in here so full of confidence, it felt like maybe the husband is just in the wrong. And maybe he's the type to be like, she nagging me. And she's just so annoying. That's the vibe the producers get. And she's trying to explain to them. It's been very hard to me mentally. You know, after my father passed away, I developed depression, panic disorder. So I take about like 20 pills a day to recover from all of this. I need peace of mind and less stress. But because my husband drinks, I'm under more stress, which made me increase my medication. And it's just my anxiety is getting worse. I talked to my husband about divorce several times. I even have the divorce papers ready to be filed at all times. I mean, I fight with him, I wake up, but then I feel sorry for him. Like, if I abandon him, where else is he gonna turn? He'll be ruined. Like, I think he's gonna die at this rate. That's why we applied for this divorce camp, to save my husband's life. It's not even about me. It's not even about divorce. It's truly because I need to save his life and I need help with that. That. And so they're asking, so you still feel feelings for your husband? I mean, I guess it is strange that heaven has arranged for a wife like you to take care of a husband like him. The producers, they're crazy. They're messy for this, but they even point out, hey, you know this producer who looks super fit and handsome because he's like a celebrity and you are the same age. They're like pointing at Bobo and one of the producers, Bobo the husband. They're like, bobo the husband. You and this producer. He's like a talk show host celebrity. You guys are the same age. Can you believe that?

[Co-Host]

But they look so vastly different.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, they're like, you look 80. He looks fit, he looks handsome. He looks like he maybe has a few cc's of botox, but that's okay. That's besides the point. Yeah, you look messed up, buddy. They literally are telling them that to his face. They're like, you look 70. That's crazy. You look like you get. Look at the way you walk. You walk like you're 80.

[Comedian/Host]

The producers even ask one of the former couples that were just in their spot like two days ago and they say, hey Mrs. Lee, like what about you? What would you do if your husband was like this? And Mrs. Lee says, you know, I think I would just look at him and say, I'm gonna get more life insurance on you. You can die, but I'm gonna get paid. Everyone is just like, okay, so they still have more work to do. Moving on. Let's not, let's not ask that one more questions because that's gonna show that our divorce camp is not going well. Okay, so back to the tapes we go. And it's just more clips of the husband drinking. And that's pretty much the end of the tape. And she just says, that's it, I'm here. We're planning a divorce, but also maybe a funeral because he's going to drink himself to death. And now it's the husband's rebuttal, it's his time to speak and there's almost someone on his side. So at this point it's not like they have attorneys. It's not like they have someone rooting for them. But this one producer stands up and he says, can I just make a confession? For the first time ever, this man is like, known for being like a relationship counselor. He's known for having a really wholesome marriage with his wife. He's like, known for loving his wife. That's like the vibe. And like, please, please, I'll be watching this one. I'll be watching this one, okay? Because these Korean Churchill buzz. Okay? So then he was saying, this was the first time in my entire life that I have ever snapped at my wife. They're like, what? And he says, you know, can I just say something? Mimi does some that I hate more than anything in this world.

[Co-Host]

Wait, this.

[Comedian/Host]

Yet this random producer is telling me this. And so Mimi is like smiling like, what? I don't think. I can't think of a single problem with me. And he's explaining, that's the problem. You have such a crazy. This is a problem that I absolutely cannot stand. I was watching and reviewing the footage from both your side and your husband's side. And when I was watching your husband's footage of his evidence against you, I had to stop the clip multiple times to take a break. My wife kept asking me like, are you okay? Why do you keep needing fresh air? And for the first time in our entire marriage, I snapped. And I said, can you just please leave me alone for a second, Please? I really did. And this made me question, how could I be angry at my wife? But this was the most frustrating thing that I've ever seen in the history of my life. Oh, he's like a celebrity. Okay. And Mimi says, I've been such a huge fan of you for like 20 years. What do you mean? And she's like, hehehe. She thinks nothing is wrong. And then another one of the producers is like, yeah. She was telling me outside that she's like, I love Taehyung. He's. He's so handsome. Haha. Yeah. I even paid to watch his dramas that he's in. I pay money to watch those dramas. What did I do? What could I possibly done?

[Co-Host]

So he's just giving like a little preview.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes.

[Co-Host]

For what's about to come.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes.

[Co-Host]

Like plot twist, y' all.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes.

[Co-Host]

Get ready.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes. And like, it does seem like he has a very healthy relationship with his wife. Like, apparently they've been married for a really long time. And like industry insiders are like, oh yeah, they're actually pretty cute. Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

So the fact that he was like, can you just be quiet for a second? And like, leave me alone for a second. People are saying this is crazy. What could possibly make him talk to his wife like that? So they said, roll the tapes. But also the fact that Mimi cannot even guess her problem is also alarming. Okay, Husband's evidence video. We start at 7:30 in the morning, okay? The. The two couple, they wake up. Mimi and Bobo wake up and they decide that they're going to the market together. And they're out at the market and the whole house is empty. The lights are off in the living room. Ten minutes later, a side door open, opens out of nowhere, and the producers are like, oof. This is feeling like a thriller. It's feeling like a. Like a mystery novel instead of what the is going on, right? And then a woman appears with long hair, wearing pajamas. And then another man sneaks out, plops onto the couch on his stomach. He's got long hair about shoulder length. And it looks like. What's going on? They look like. They don't really look like tenants. They look like cockroaches just, like, crawling out of the woodworks.

[Co-Host]

Like parasite.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes.

[Co-Host]

Like they just climb out of the basement. They're acting like they own the house.

[Comedian/Host]

Huh? And then they're ready to cook some dinner and stuff.

[Co-Host]

Wait, so this guy, I'm assuming is the son was not in mom's clip at all?

[Comedian/Host]

No, not at all.

[Co-Host]

Wow. Interesting.

[Comedian/Host]

Okay, and then they. They cut the scene. So they go back inside to their little rooms, and then it cuts. The next night, same thing happens. Door opens, little parasites crawl out. But this time, Mimi is sleeping on the living room mattress. And she gets up and she goes, my son and I. I had this whole thing, okay? We were at the dinner table the other day and we. We were coming up with theories, and we said specifically for Koreans. Okay? I don't know about anybody else, okay? But this is my advice to anybody who is dating a Korean. Korean boy. If. Count. If. If your boyfriend's mother calls your boyfriend 10 times. Ten times, they're like, hey, name. Or hey, you, Hey, B. Hey whatever the f. Hey, bitch. Right? Like, whatever. They are addressing them by some sort of name or nickname. 10 times. Count how many times they say uriade, which is my son. If that is the majority of the time you. You run. I'm telling you this.

[Co-Host]

So, like, what's a ratio that, you know, like, more than five times more than 50%.

[Comedian/Host]

Truly. Keep it under one.

[Co-Host]

Keep it under one.

[Comedian/Host]

Like, okay, it's another thing Obviously. Come on, don't. Don't be doing this with me. Don't be playing in the comments. Like if they're saying like, oh, my son does this and they're talking to somebody else, but when they address their son and they go.

[Co-Host]

Which is okay, translate to English, my son, did you eat?

[Comedian/Host]

But like Uri ader, there is something so annoying about it. Okay? If they're talking to somebody else, it's fine. Like, oh, my son does this, or like, my son didn't eat today, that's fine. That's obviously the grammar that you use. But when they address their own son with Uri adu, unless it's followed up by something stupid and sarcastic. No, like my parents will refer to me as Uritar, right? And they'll say like. Like our daughter is so smart. And they only say this when I'm doing something dumb. Okay? So it's like very sarcastic. It's not meant to be taken as like my daughter. Right?

[Co-Host]

So be aware of mama's boy.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes, okay. Yeah, this. And she goes.

[Co-Host]

What are you doing? So her whole tone shifted from the. The way that she talks to her husband.

[Comedian/Host]

I don't even know who this Mimi is. It's like a different person. No, I've been watching her for the. The past 30 minutes. I don't know who this lady is. This is a new lady to me. Yeah. And Bobo's sitting there. He's telling the producers. At first I didn't even know she had a kid. Okay, wait, wait, wait.

[Co-Host]

What do you mean? How long?

[Comedian/Host]

We were dating for a while. And then later she was like, by the way, I have a kid. But I was already in love with her, so I ended up living with her. And then he moved in. And then Mimi's explaining, my son used to live by himself in Seoul, you know, he was working part time, but during Lunar New Year, he came to celebrate. And the next day my husband was hospitalized. He almost died in the hospital, Dumbass. And my son started living with us because he wanted to take care of me. And I was just having such a hard time. So my son. Yeah, and Your son is 30, right? 30. They interviewed the son. The son has.

[Co-Host]

Wait, the son was there?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. The son's face is not blurred. He's in the interview table. He has shoulder length hair and he's got. He's got the face of Woo Riyadh. He's got the face of it.

[Starbucks Announcer]

What?

[Comedian/Host]

I'm so sorry. And like, I love Korean men. Some of the men that I love, the Most in my life, my father, my brother in law, my cousins. Like they're Korean men, right? But if they do some, I be telling them, you're acting like Uriade right now. Like you're acting crazy right now. And I need you to get a rip. You're 60. You're 60 years old.

[Co-Host]

Okay, so Stephanie's talking about her father.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, I am. Okay. I'm like, my dad is acting like Woody out there right now.

[Co-Host]

That's acting like my son right now.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Okay. So he explains, I'm 31 and I am Mimi's son and I live with Mimi. And now everyone's looking at the. The celebrity that said he snapped at his wife. And then he's like, no, no, let me explain. I'm not upset. Like, this is not making me upset because she married someone else and then brought her son from a previous marriage. Like, that's. Please, that's not why I'm upset. Just. Just keep watching the tapes. So then Bobo's sitting in front of the camera and he's explaining. Then her son brought some weird ass girl into the house.

[Co-Host]

Weird ass girl?

[Comedian/Host]

Weird ass girl. She's f cking weird. And then she has a blurred face and she says, hi, I am the Sun's girlfriend and I'm 33 years old. My name is Beep. Okay, so the two. The girlfriend is two years older than the son and they both live with you, right? Is that what's going on? And the sun is also in the camera and says, so my mom just told me, come live. Come live with your girlfriend. Like your girlfriend too. And my girlfriend said, I'd like that. So we agree. Okay, this is a little weird, but still, it's not the biggest thing in the world. Keep rolling the tapes. The son says, it was actually perfect timing because it was also when I was quitting my job, so just kind of worked out. And the girlfriend says, rather than us spending money on rent and other expenses, you just wanted to prepare for our future. So now we just save money. But do you guys work? No.

[Co-Host]

Then you're not saving money. There's no income to be saved.

[Comedian/Host]

So then the producers are like, okay.

[Co-Host]

So the girl doesn't work either?

[Comedian/Host]

No. So the producers are like, okay, I think I get it now. Like why Bobo might be upset when Mimi's full grown son and the random ass girlfriend are living and mooching off of Mimi. Right. But then also, Bobo is not working. What's your explanation for that? Bobo explains in the most eloquent way possible. And I think we should all start using this right now. He says, I'm not exactly economically active right now. What does that mean, economically active, AKA Unemployed. Economically active is the craziest sh T. I've ever heard. It's better than in between opportunities. This is truly the best I've ever heard. It's like the fanciest way of saying I am unemployed.

[Co-Host]

So what do you do for a living?

[Comedian/Host]

I'm not particularly economically active right now. However, I am morally, emotionally, and mentally very active and fit.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

Which honestly sounds like the dream life. That should honestly be how life is. Right. But Mimi is interviewed, and the producers are asking, okay, well, what about you? So, husband's not working. He's not economically active. Son's not working. Son's girlfriend is saving money by not working. What are you doing? I've never worked a day in my life before. Okay, what's happening? So nobody's working inside this house. There are four people living inside of this house, and none of them work. Is that what I'm getting at? And Mimi explains. Yeah, so right now, we're just kind of living off of the inheritance that I got from my dad's passing. And how much inheritance did you receive? Did you receive a lot? Like, are you the next billionaire? Are you the next tip? Are like, what's going on? So we received about 200 million won.

[Co-Host]

Damn.

[Comedian/Host]

$138,000, which is a lot of money, don't get me wrong. But four people, and now it's the year is 2025. Maybe it was filmed in 2024, which he passed away 2019. So many a years have passed. So how much is left now? Oh, it's pretty much gone. We spent almost all of it. Whoa, whoa. Okay, so that's still a lot of money. And I'm sure your dad left that for you for you to be comfortable. But because you had four people unemployed and living on just dwindled down, right? I mean, this is like the movie. The producer is saying, this is kind of like the movie. And then he stops talking because he feels uncomfortable. And Mimi smiles and says, parasite. He says, you know what? I was kind of hesitant to say the movie title, but now that you said it yourself, yeah, it's exactly like the movie Parasite. Like, your little son and girlfriend crawl out in the middle of the night to get food and do all these things. You don't think that that is Parasite? Anyway, roll the tape. So Mimi wakes up from the mattress.

[Co-Host]

What time is it right now? Like, is it morning?

[Comedian/Host]

Three in the Morning, four in the morning.

[Co-Host]

So the mom is sleeping in the middle of the night and the kids are just waking up or they were just like having a midnight sleep.

[Comedian/Host]

They're just waking up up.

[Co-Host]

Oh, they wake up at 3am well, they wake up.

[Comedian/Host]

Okay, so they stay up all night and sleep during the day. So maybe this is like lunchtime for them. And so she's like, oh, should I make you something later? And the son's girlfriend looks at her, the sun's girlfriend, and says, ma, can you make us some spicy stir fried octopus? Spicy stir fried octopus. Okay, I'll make it. Are you gonna make sundubu again? Which is like soft tofu soup? Oh, I'll make you sundubu, but this time can you make a lot more soup? Like last time? I barely had enough broth. Okay.

[Co-Host]

Arisa, are they talking in that tone? Really?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. And then they walk back into the room and close the door and the producers are sitting in divorce court just baffled. They don't even know what this means anymore. What kind of sun could you imagine me talking to your mother? Like, be like, next time you cook for me, get me more soup. Because that was crazy last time I didn't have enough soup. That's crazy. You know what my mom does? This is, honestly, I gotta learn from my mom. I don't know why I'm on a side tangent right now, but the other day his parents brought over these dough filled like black sesame dough filled stuff, right? And my mom takes a bite and they're so good. I know my mom, my mom's obsessed with food. She loves eating and she's looking like she wants to eat this every day for the the next two weeks. And she just looks at me and she says, this is so delicious. How come it's my first time in this life trying this. AKA translate that to his parents so they bring this more often. This is that I like. No, I'm just kidding. But it was smooth.

[Co-Host]

It was smooth. EQ was so high. It was, it was like, it was like the most hilarious, eloquent compliment. It was so good.

[Comedian/Host]

That was also like, I would like.

[Co-Host]

Something like I, I, how come this is the first time in my life trying such a delicacy or something? Something like that. It was like, what are you saying right now? It's just deep fried like tummy and like sugar balls. Like what?

[Comedian/Host]

And then, and then ever since then, every time they come over, they bring the sugar balls for my mom and it's the cutest thing ever. But this, this is Some crazy. She's like, last time wasn't enough broth. And like this time I want this. And like, are you gonna make this again? This time it was crazy. The produce. Stop this. I know in a lot of maybe American culture this is seen as very direct, but in Korean culture this is kind of seen as like if you were to see a cow with five heads coming out of its butthole.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

Like this is insane. You do not talk to your mother in law like that. It's just kind of wild. I don't even talk to my own mother like that. Yeah, like I would really have to be on some to talk to my mom like that. And so Mimi is explaining. Yeah, I mean my, my son often sleeps during the day and wakes up at night because of his really intense gaming schedul.

[Co-Host]

Gaming schedule.

[Comedian/Host]

So the producers are like, okay, I guess we're not even gonna talk about the girlfriend right now. But what do you mean gaming schedule? Roll the tape. They got a CCTV camera in the son's room.

[Co-Host]

No way.

[Comedian/Host]

He's playing the gaming. Clicking the mouse, clicking the keyboard.

[Co-Host]

Is the girlfriend playing too?

[Comedian/Host]

No. The girlfriend is giving him shoulder massage. No. Applying chapstick on his lip.

[Starbucks Announcer]

No.

[Comedian/Host]

He can't even apply.

[Co-Host]

You're kidding me. Wait, the girlfriend doesn't play games?

[Comedian/Host]

No.

[Co-Host]

What?

[Comedian/Host]

She just takes care of him.

[Co-Host]

Oh, that is crazy.

[Comedian/Host]

I thought the girlfriend was gonna be a gamer too. Yeah, when it's two gamer couples. I can get it. I can get with it. I can also get with it if like, I don't know. I've never dated a gamer before. Like we game sometimes mobile games, but it's always like together.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Like we'll be gaming together. I don't know. I've never dated a gamer, so I don't know what like the criteria of like when they should be gam. When they shouldn't be gaming. But like I would never be applying chapstick on a game. That's crazy. Like you got to be, I don't know, you got to be like a faker level. You got to be bringing in millions of dollars for someone to sit there and apply chapstick. Yeah, that's crazy. No. Is that not insane?

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

So sometimes they don't wake up until like 6pm and Mimi, instead of getting upset at her 31 year unemployed gamer son, she's over here. Is our son hungry? Other people, Is he going to eat later? Oh, I only feel calm and at ease. My heart is only at ease when my son is eating. He doesn't eat all day. I get so anxious. And then I prepare what my son is going to eat in the evening. But I don't know if he's going to eat. Sometimes he doesn't want to eat. And the producers are looking at him like, what the is going on right now? This is absolutely insane. She's waking up from her. There's another clip that's in the husband's video evidence video. In her sleep, she's talking. She's asking my son, did you eat?

[Co-Host]

In her dreams?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, in her dream. Why her dream? Her love for her son is so incredible. Bobo is sitting there in his confessional, and he says, all I hear all day is, our son, our son. Did you eat? Our son? Aren't you hungry? Our son, our son. I can't do it anymore, Okay? I can't do it. And so the producers are saying, okay. From Bobo's perspective, I can see how he's upset. It's never about, hey, husband, are you hungry? It's always Uri San, Our son, our son, our son, our son, our son. The husband walks out of the room and he sees spicy fried octopus prepared. Because that's what the couple asked for, right? He grabs himself a plate. Oh, dear. You cut the octopus so small. That means that don't eat it. Whoa. I mean, agreed, like, don't be critiquing someone else's cooking if you're not the one cooking, right? But it's the fact that she just snaps on him. He did say it a little nicely, but again, still, don't be saying it. Just eat it. Right? He squats down on the floor on a cushion and he starts eating. And the. The people, the producers are like, why do you have to eat so pitifully? Because, like, the posture in which he's eating is equivalent to him sitting on a toilet. Like, can you not sit differently? Can you not sit crisscross applesauce on the floor? Like, why? He starts taking a few bites. Oh, it's so bland. It's not bland. It's actually kind of salty. Okay. I was just saying I think our taste buds are a little bit different. I mean, but regardless, you didn't make it for me to eat, did you? Of course not. Why would I make it for you to eat? It's fine. I'll just add a little bit of salt and pepper and heat it up. It's fine. Not a big deal. Then he goes back to his room and continues drinking. Mimi gets up, fixes her hair, walks into the son's room. He's gaming. He's gaming my son. Should I steam some dumplings for you? Do you want some dumplings? You want some steamed dumplings? He barely responds. Yes. He goes, she leaves the room to steam dumplings and he starts. He's got a demonic laugh. He's laughing with his gamer friends. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. And the fact that she's watching this in Divorce because court, they're playing the clip on like a projector and she's smiling. She can't. She's like squealing at delight at even just the sight of her son.

[Co-Host]

This is wild.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. And the producers are looking at her like, you know, it's crazy. One of them is a mother and she says, if that were me, I would be smacking my son on the back of the head. Like, I don't know how. You go in there and it's like, do you want some dumplings? You want some dumplings? Okay, tell me if you want some dumplings. Cutie patootie you do with your d. That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. Stop, stop, stop. Are you laughing because why I'm laughing?

[Co-Host]

I think so.

[Comedian/Host]

Cuz sometimes he does talk to me like that.

[Co-Host]

Oh really?

[Comedian/Host]

No, you're always like my cutie patootie.

[Co-Host]

No.

[Comedian/Host]

Okay, okay. So this 31 year old does nothing but play games and she brings the dumplings and she goes, it's hot. Be careful, it's hot. And then she leaves the room and then, and then she comes back in. Wait, did you buy cigarettes? She's talking to the son's girlfriend. Did you buy cigarettes? Do you have, do you have cigarettes? And now the producers are throwing their hands in the air. Does a mother have to buy cigarettes for her unemployed child as well? Like, you want to produce the food, you got to provide the housing, you got to pay for everything. And you have to go run errands and buy cigarettes. Like, imagine off unemployed, 31 year old. And the mom comes into the room. Do you need more vapes? Do you need. Do you need another e cig? Like, what do you need? What flavor do you want, honey? Sweetie? What flavor? What should I buy? Everyone looks exhausted watching it. Like it's so tap, tap, like I can't watch it anymore. My heart is about, about to explode. Like, what do you mean? But Mimi defends herself in front of everybody. She says, honestly, just looking at my son, he is precious to me. Like, how could I make him do anything in life? If someone looks at him while he's walking by, I Don't want them to look at my son. Because there's a Korean saying, like, if you look at something too much, it wears down something precious. And she says, I don't want him to be worn down.

[Co-Host]

And then someone looking at him.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, and she says, I wouldn't even trade in my son for. For like Choi In Seong, very famous Korean actor. Heart eyes. Okay. I wouldn't even trade in my son for G Dragon. She's like, I would not trade in my son for any celebrity.

[Co-Host]

Wait, she said, I wouldn't trade my son for G Dragon.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

What a statement to make.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. What a crazy ass f. Cking statement. Okay, so that.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, I wouldn't trade you for G Dragon.

[Comedian/Host]

That's crazy. Know what?

[Co-Host]

That's actually a very valid statement. Yeah, that's actually a very healthy statement. Imagine the mom says, yeah, I would trade my son for G Dragon.

[Comedian/Host]

But I feel like a lot of moms would. Really?

[Co-Host]

That's kind of wild.

[Comedian/Host]

That's.

[Co-Host]

That's also very bad. No, like. Yeah, yeah, but like. I know, I know, but like more normal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't trade you for G Dragon.

[Comedian/Host]

Anyways, I wouldn't trade you for G Dragon. I don't know how G Dragon comes up, but you'll see how he comes up. Like he specifically comes up. Okay, so she even tells this to his son while he's sitting there playing games. He's drinking coffee. And it's like in a sippy cup, like a straw. He's got a big ass straw coming out of his coffee cup, sipping the coffee, playing his little games. He's got one hand on girlfriend doing. She's like on the.

[Co-Host]

She's on the bed, just on her phone.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, she's just wrapped up in like a burrito blanket. Like just swaddling herself on her phone. Then she'll get up, put chapstick on his lips, give him a little kissy kiss on the cheek, and then go back onto the bed basically doing nothing. He's drinking coffee, the girlfriend's on the bed, and the son says, don't lie, mom. You would trade me. And the girlfriend thinks it's whole funny. Okay, she's laughing. No, you should trade him. Ah, mad like, you should trade him in for Cho In Song again, another top celebrity. Not only is he a top celebrity, but he recently bought his parents an apartment in the Lotte Tower, which is like the. Where the senior hotel is.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

Very expensive building. Building. And he bought it for his parents. So she's saying like, if you trade him in for this celebrity, he treats his parents so well. You're gonna be treated so well. Like you're gonna get an apartment in the Lotte Tower, right?

[Co-Host]

Huh?

[Comedian/Host]

No, I wouldn't trade him in for anybody. Even the son's girlfriend is like, I think joeysong would be better. And she looks at the mom, and the mom is staring lasers into her. She could cut right through her heart and her soul and her intestines.

[Co-Host]

No freaking way.

[Comedian/Host]

Just kidding. If you talk like that, I'm never going to cooperate with you again.

[Co-Host]

Oh, she's mad.

[Comedian/Host]

She's mad.

[Co-Host]

Mad.

[Comedian/Host]

Okay, I'm sorry. Who? You know, you're right. Who could compare, right? My boyfriend is the most beautiful boyfriend in the world. But mom, what about G Dragon? What about G Dragon? Instead of Choin Song, I wouldn't even trade my son in for 10G dragons.

[Co-Host]

Damn.

[Comedian/Host]

The. The producer in divorce court. They paused the tape. Pause the tape.

[Co-Host]

Okay, G Dragon, come in. Come here right now.

[Comedian/Host]

Right now. The producers, they have a moment of silence and honestly, the first words uttered are, what even is this conversation? Like, I have never witnessed such a conversation. Like, who even has a conversation like this before? And the husband is looking at them. Bobo is like, you see, this is what I have to live with. This is not in crazy. One of the producers says, honestly, I think the girlfriend is also part of the problem. Mimi's. Mimi's neural. But this is truly how I feel. I wouldn't trade my son in for Cho In Song. I wouldn't trade him in for G Dragon. I wouldn't trade him in for anyone. To me, my son is the best, the most handsome, the most beautiful. I wouldn't trade him in for anyone. I mean, I could trade in my husband for anyone. I would love to trade in my husband.

No one's asking you to trade. Don't worry. No one is suggesting you trade in your son for g dragon or chewing song. You know, don't worry. You can sleep at night knowing that your son is safe. You're not gonna wake up one morning, go into his room and suddenly it's g dragon in there. You're fine. It's okay. You know. And then the other investigator is laughing. The other producer is like, when she did say she trained in her husband, no one wants that either. You know, no, she's not gonna wake up in bed and it's suddenly chuing tong, you know, don't worry. Don't you worry. No one's asking. You're getting very defensive and stressed out. Like, Mimi is working herself into like a cardiac arrest right now. Her cortisol levels are through the roof at the idea that. That her son would be g dragon. And all the producers are like, can you believe this right now? Can you believe this right now? This is crazy. And they say the whole title of this episode is kangaroo couple. They say it's a kangaroo mom. So like, I know in a lot of cultures they have like tiger parents. In the newest thing, kangaroo is good. In Korea, it's a kangarooma.

[Co-Host]

Oh, my goodness.

[Comedian/Host]

That is good because you put your baby in your pouch and sometimes and you really called a kangaroo mom when that baby is now a full size kangaroo. It is a 35 year old kangaroo in your kangaroo pouch. It's breaking your kangaroo pouch. The 35 year old has never been out into the world. Now they just act like a baby kangaroo. When you look at it and you're like, that's a full grown adult right there. That's crazy. So they're saying not only in her pouch is her husband, but her son and her son's girlfriend. She's a mom with three kangaroos in her pouch. So this is crazy. She's got so much going on in the kangaroos. She goes back into the room and she goes, do you have coffee? Do you have enough coffee? And the son says, I'm gonna go buy it later. And there's an empty coffee cup on the gaming table. She walks back outside onto the living room. She's like, really stress about about this. She sits down on the mattress, and the son's girlfriend joins her. And he says, our baby just said, I'm dying of thirst. Wait, he said, the son's girlfriend says our baby to the mom. Oh, that's like me going to your mom and referencing you.

[Co-Host]

Wait, can you say that in Korean? What's our baby in Korea?

[Comedian/Host]

Like? Imagine I call you our baby to your mom.

[Co-Host]

Okay, But Urieeki. Okay, okay, got it.

[Comedian/Host]

Urieki is crazy.

[Co-Host]

Is it?

[Comedian/Host]

Oh, my God.

[Co-Host]

What if I start talking to your mom and be like, urieki?

[Comedian/Host]

That's different.

[Co-Host]

Oh, is that cute? Or is that cringe?

[Comedian/Host]

I guess in the context. Okay, okay, okay. It works because my parents consider me the Mangne. I guess. So. Like, my dad likes to think that I'm still a basic. Yeah. And I'm like, you know, that's really crazy that you say that, because I am actually worried about you. Like, me and my sister are worried about you. And anytime you don't answer the phone for 24 hours, we're like sending out a search party. Like, we are now. The new parents. My mom, she. She'll get into, like, a fender bender. Sobbing. She can't even control herself. She doesn't know what to do. She. She's so scared. She's calling me. She's calling you. She's calling my sister. She's calling Andrew. Like, I'm like, why do you guys keep calling me Yalls baby? Like, what the is going on right now? I feel offended. Okay. But like, for her to say Uriegi about the boyfriend is kind of crazy. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. And she says, our baby is dying of thirst. And so now they're plotting. The mom is upset. Earlier when I went out, I should have bought some coffee in advance. I should have. I should have known. Oh, no, no, no. Don't be so hard on yourself. You might be okay with it because you're just his girlfriend, but I'm worried that my son can't have his coffee. I can go get his coffee. Yeah. And so at that, she immediately grabs A winter jacket because it's snowing outside. Walks to the cafe and buys a whole bag of coffee. Like four large coffees, iced coffees. The girlfriend, yes, brings them back. They pause the tape and the producers are like flabbergasted. The more these tapes go on, the more they're like, I don't even know what to do at this point. This daughter in law is also crazy. Like she's really insane. She brings it and she says, here, I added the syrup. She takes this like the little straw cover, the paper off the straw cover, puts it directly in front of his face so he doesn't have to even move 25 neck muscles to just syrup. Slurping the cough. Coffee. I'm gonna put the other two in the fridge so you can take them out anytime that you want. Okay. He barely even responds. He's like, oh, okay. And then he goes back to gaming and he's like talking to his gamer friends. Oh, oh. Like the violent thoughts that would come across my mind in those moments.

[Co-Host]

What is he saying? Do you remember what he said?

[Comedian/Host]

No gamer words.

[Co-Host]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, I learned what HP meant, like health points or something, bruh. Yeah. Through this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Through.

[Co-Host]

Oh, you just learned this today?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

What?

[Comedian/Host]

Do you know what HP is?

[Co-Host]

Yes, it's the health.

[Comedian/Host]

How do you know what HP is? Bro?

[Co-Host]

It's the health bar. It's in every single game.

[Comedian/Host]

Really?

[Starbucks Announcer]

Yes.

[Comedian/Host]

Is it in the games we play? No. So at this point, this giant baby is on life support on coffee and steamed dumplings that are brought to to him. And Bubba is like, see, he has to drink coffee. He wakes up. I mean, he's a full blown caffeine addict. He can't live without coffee. And then the producers stop the clip because they're like, you know that dog that's like, that's what they're doing to Bobo right now. Because they're like, didn't you just say two seconds ago that you don't have a problem with alcohol? And he's looking at them like he has no clue why they're looking at him. Okay, so he's complaining. Son is a caffeine addict. But of course you don't have a problem. They keep going. Bobo's explaining, you know, at 4 or 5 in the morning, they don't care. They're screaming. He'll be screaming angrily at his gamer friends at four or five in the morning. And then all of a sudden he's ha, ha, ha ha, laughing. It's demonic. It's creepy. It feels possessed. I don't like it. He shouts into his headphones. Do you know how stressful that is, is that amount of noise? It's just too much. But then we cut to a clip in the evidence tapes where Mimi is outside and she's cooking for her full grown son and son's girlfriend. And she hears the son just screaming at three in the morning and she just giggles to herself and she goes, oh, de address going wild again.

[Co-Host]

My cutie patootie is so cute.

[Comedian/Host]

Cutie patootie, cutie patootie strikes again. Yeah, yeah. And so she's explaining to the producers, no, it's because our son dreams of becoming a professional gamer. So he's practicing very hard. And every single, you know, my husband just can't understand it because he's way too young, obviously, to understand the e game sphere. But yeah, in the e gaming world, you can make a lot of money esports. In the esports world, you can make a lot of money, which, like, don't get me me wrong, Koreans know how much money you can make in esports. Like, they have a crazy like team. Yeah, yeah. What's their team called? I don't know. All I know is faker is in there. There's a lot of Korean pride. Right. But the producers are looking at this and they say, you know, we actually. Oh, yeah, T1 I think or something. We talked to something. Yeah, something like that. No, they're literally insane. I know nothing about games. That's my problem. I don't say that. Wait, does that come off condescending? I'm not trying to be condescending. Guys, gamer guys, don't flip out. I'm so scared of you guys.

[Co-Host]

Just learn HP today.

[Comedian/Host]

I just learned HP today. That's like me saying like the NBA or something. It's not that I don't think that they're 50 million times better than me, smarter than me, more successful than me, and better at everything thing than me. Okay. I just don't know anything about sports.

[Co-Host]

Physical sports, but she's very proud. I can, I can contest like to that. Yeah, she's very proud.

[Comedian/Host]

Very proud. Like when they recently won. Whatever that was. No, hold on.

[Co-Host]

That doesn't matter.

[Comedian/Host]

Hold on.

[Co-Host]

You were proud.

[Comedian/Host]

No, hold on. They won something crazy. And then they were on like a magazine spread and then it was like.

[Co-Host]

They look cool as hell.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. They were like all wearing suits and. And then all the Koreans were like, yeah, Koreans dominating the esports. And I was like, oh, Koreans dominating the esports. I don't know what's going on, but I'm proud to be Korean. And then some new Korean news will show up. And I'm like, damn it, why? Why did we have to go and do that next? Okay, can we not just be cool? Okay? But they were. The producers were explaining that they were talking to T1 and they were talking to Faker, actually. And they had interviewed him before and he said. Said a lot of people are trying to use theirs. They're not saying this, but I'm sure like the producers brought it up. Like, I'm sure now that esports is gaining a lot of attention, there's a high possibility of gaining a lot of financial and fame from being a successful esports player. Now people are using that, no, ma, I'm just gonna game because I'm gonna make millions of dollars one day. It's like now, now an excuse to game, right? And so faker and the other teammates were saying, to be a professional level level gamer, at the very least, you need to be the best in your region. So like major city and major region because they go by regions by middle school.

[Co-Host]

Damn.

[Comedian/Host]

So if you're not that like, I mean, 31, which is how old Mimi's son is, most professional esports players unless are exceptional, they're usually retired by that point.

[Co-Host]

But.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, is different. Is different. Yeah, yeah, is different. Yeah. That's exactly what Mimi says. So they tell that straight up to Mimi and her lips go thin and she says, you know, I know not everyone can become one. I know that. But our son is really good at games. He was one of the best in our Are like, okay, Faker said the region. So think like Seoul and surrounding areas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said in our cul de sac, basically she said in this specific region, in this area, in this city. It's literally like in our neighborhood. He was actually, since he was young.

[Co-Host]

Bro, in this house, he's been killing it.

[Comedian/Host]

He's actually the number one in this house. So he did it since he was young. He's been playing, playing games. And so Bobo is sitting there. So exacerbated. Like what's with these young people? Anyone can see and take one look that a 31 year old is not going to become a professional gamer. Like, please think and say stuff that makes sense. And then Bobo, he like in the evidence tapes, I don't know why he randomly decides that he's also the cleanliest person in the house. He gets up from his bed, grabs a roll of duct tape and starts duct taping the son's girlfriend's long ass hair. Hairs from everywhere.

[Co-Host]

Or like picking up hair from the floor.

[Comedian/Host]

And he says, she's so dirty, too. And every time I walk into that room, it smells dingy, it smells disgusting. It smells like cigarette smoke. It's just horrendous. And then she leaves her hair everywhere in the restroom. It's just a mess. I mean, look at how much hair is sticking to my tape. You know, one time I told her, you lose all your hair, you gotta do something about it. You gotta pick up your hair from the. Isn't this dirty? And she said, ah, so what? Yeah. And then he's explaining this, and everyone turns off the thing and they look at Mimi and she goes, which means, worry about yourself.

[Co-Host]

Worry about yourself, bitch.

[Comedian/Host]

Don't be worried about my son and my son's girlfriend. Worry about yourself. These are some, like, crazy Korean words. I just want to say that, okay? And she explains, look, my kids are not like us other kids. She's grouping in her son's girlfriend as well. My kids don't go out. They don't get drunk like you, Bobo. They don't do any of that. They don't cause trouble. They don't like to do drugs. They're just gentle. They like to stay home. From my perspective, looking at most 30 year olds these days, I don't understand why my husband is complaining about them. They're good kids. Kids. They're good kids. The producers are asking if maybe that's why that they're not doing anything. Like, what do you mean? Is this why they're not successful? Because you baby them so much? Then we cut back to the evidence tapes and we see the son's girlfriend asking the mom, do you have Manon?

[Co-Host]

What's that?

[Comedian/Host]

Do you have $10? Oh, hello. And she says, I don't. I don't know how much is in my wallet right now. She grabs her wallet, opens it up again, like how we would treat Sophie and Mia, except they're like, fine, okay. They're like 3 and 4. But these people are 31, 33. She grabs her wallet and she's like scrolling through how much money she has, and she says, oh, I didn't get much cash from the bank. I only have $5. She starts stomping on the floor. Oh, he's not enough. This is the sun's girlfriend. They paused the tape and the producers are speechless once more. What is happening? How can she act like that? That. And then they. They look at each other and they say, you know what? The crazy thing is, your son's girlfriend would probably kill it in the job market. Like, the kind of nerves that she has, like the balls of steel, the way she goes against societal norms to get what she wants, the way that she can blatantly ask for money, she could kill it in sales.

[Co-Host]

They are saying that, yeah, like, if.

[Comedian/Host]

She were to work, she'd be making good money. Like, I can't do that if I'm in sales. I'm like, I don't want to push them on this decision. She's like, give me money. You need this. Give me the money right now. Whoa. This is crazy. They say, she needs to work. She would do really well. The producers ask, I mean, are you going to live with your son forever? And she says, for as long as they want to. I mean, it seems like they want to forever because they're benefiting from it. What if they decide that they want to be independent and they get married? You're going to live with them even when they're married, which is. It's like a big thing. You go off once you're married, right? And she says, no, I mean, I would buy them a house. How would you buy them a house? You don't have money. And she says, by any means possible. I would try to find a way, and I would buy them a house. And now the husband is just rolling his eyes. And the producers are like, I can understand why you're upset because you're banking on her to keep you alive, but she's spending all of her money on keeping the son and the son's girlfriend alive. So, like, we get it. You know, everybody's upset. And Bob was looking at them like, what the. I thought you guys were on my side. What is happening right now? What the fork is happening? He's just speechless. Everybody's speechless. Even when they go to the market. The wife, Mimi, she knocks on the door, and this is in the husband's evidence tape. She's like, knock, knock. They open the door and she's like, do you guys need anything from the market? The son's girlfriend says, oma, can you buy some cat? Okay? He's laughing because he knows what caca is. Kaka is truly what infants and toddlers refer to as snackies. So in the English version, it would be snackies or yum yums. She is 33 years grown, and she says, mommy, can you buy some snackies while you're at the market? So then Bobo is standing like, what the hell did she just say? They go to the market. They don't have money. They're both buying fruits. All the fruits that UD likes. Fruits are so expensive in Korea, especially strawberries.

[Co-Host]

Oh yeah. Fruit is basically gold lobster covered in gold.

[Comedian/Host]

Yes. And they're getting strawberries that have its own bed, that have its own seat. You know what I mean?

[Co-Host]

That is crazy.

[Comedian/Host]

Like, they get the. They got their own little cushions. Each strawberry has its own seat, seating arrangement. She's grabbing boxes of those and he's looking at her like, really? You're gonna buy those? And she says, our son needs to eat some taiki strawberry. Yeah, yeah. And so Bobo's looking at this like, this is absolutely ridiculous. And the producers are genuinely asking, Mimi, why don't you let your son get a job? Like, what's the problem with a job? Why don't you want him to have a job? And she says, well, it's. There's not many jobs in the area that we live in. Like, we don't live in Seoul. Okay. They live kind of outside of Seoul, but they can take a bus to Seoul. So they're explaining, a lot of people don't live in Seoul and they work in Seoul. You just take a bus. You take a train to Seoul. There's buses from your area to Seoul. It's not that hard. And she explains, well, it's because we actually didn't live here for a really long time, so we don't really know exactly how the buses work. Okay, but you could just teach your son how to use the bus so that he could commute to work. And. And she explains, well, how would I explain it to him when I don't know how the buses work? Like, the buses are really complicated. So they're saying, Your son is 31 years old. He should be teaching you how the buses work. He knows how the buses work. He can commute to work. And she's explaining, no, no, no. But like in my family, I think we all just kind of do. We raise our kids like this. Like, my siblings are all the same. We raise our kids exactly like this. Okay, so your siblings, children also don't work? I mean, no, because they're in middle school right now and so they're. So you're saying you treat your 31 year old son like your siblings treat their middle school age children? Of course you don't want your middle school kid to take the bus all the way to the big city by themselves. But Your son is 31 years old. Yeah, but that's just how we just raised our kids in Our family. Yeah.

[Co-Host]

This is crazy. She's in denial, huh?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Everyone is getting so tapped up. They're saying things like. Like, it doesn't. Doesn't.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Comedian/Host]

No conversation can be had, no communication can be done. It doesn't make sense. So she has no plan when the inheritance runs out. They're just gonna. She thought about maybe opening up an unmanned coffee shop. So in Korea, they have these unmanned stores where you don't have to work in there. Everything is done by CCTV and you have to pay. You go in and it's like a store, but you have to pay before you go out. And then they'll find you if you don't pay. And the producers are asking, do you know anything about running a coffee shop? Do you know the number one business that opens and closes the most in our country? Cafes? She said, I didn't know that. And they're like, well, if you didn't know that, how are you going to open up a cafe? You're going to fail. You can't just say, I didn't know that. How do you.

[Co-Host]

How it's run in her family?

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah, exactly. That's just how her siblings do it, you know? And if anything, the energy of her is going to get her through the hard times. So it's going to be okay. They could just put a picture of Uriade on the front instead of G Dragon and be like, uriade visits this cafe. You know how they have the celebrity signatures? It's just Uriade signature. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She could just do that. You know, people would be flocking to the store for sure.

[Co-Host]

Number one player in the house.

[Comedian/Host]

Exactly. And the husband has a few more clips that I'm gonna sum it up. It's basically the same things that happen over and over again. And it's anything for the son. So he invites his niece over, who he does have this kind of lore backstory of how he drinks a lot because his brother passed away in an accident and it was like a very sudden and abrupt death. His daughter, which is his niece that's now coming to visit, was living with him and their mother for the longest time. So she's almost his daughter is.

[Co-Host]

Oh, the brother's daughter.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. Is kind of almost his daughter. But he also feels. Feels like he's failed her in so many ways. He doesn't live up to whom his brother could have been. And now he's got all these problems to deal with the loss of. And then he lost his mom, and it's just been A spiraling, deep, dark hole. He lost his brother, lost his mom. And then he got into a work accident. He can't work in construction anymore. He used to do scaffolding. He took a lot of pride in his work. And now all of that's gone. They won't even pay him any insurance money for the accident. He just. Just can't work. He can't do anything. He's bored all day. He has no goals, nothing driving him towards anything. Anytime he talks to Mimi, she's screaming at him. Anytime he goes out, he's getting screamed at by not only the son, but also the son's girlfriend. So, for example, the niece came over one day and this was really sad. He waited all day for the niece to come over, even in the middle of the day. And like, this makes me want to go visit people more often. Like, go visit people especially, like Grand Prix parents. I don't know. I'm gonna cry in the middle of the day. Mimi comes in and is like, are you gonna eat? And he's like, no, no, no. What time is it? No, I'm gonna wait for my niece to come. I'm gonna wait for my niece. It was really sad. He's just like, all day, oh, I gotta wait for my niece to do this. Oh, I'm gonna wait for my niece to do this. So then she finally comes, they sit down and they're grilling pork belly, and they're eating on the floor. And he's like, grilling the meat. He's cutting it. And the son's girlfriend is yelling at him, like, can you not cut it so big? Like our baby can't eat it when you cut it get so big. The sun, the sun. She's talking about the sun. The 31 year old son can't eat the pork belly slices. And he's like, what? Then you cut it yourself once I give it to you on your plate. And then she goes, why can't you just cut it smaller? If you're already cutting it, just cut it smaller. Mimi takes the son's girlfriend's side and starts screaming at her husband in front of his niece, saying, like, why are you doing something you never do? Like, stop acting like you cut meat around around here. You never do stuff like this. And suddenly your niece comes and you want to act like you're this, like, oh, provider. Like, stop cutting the meat if you're not the meat cutter. Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Dang. How old is Denise?

[Comedian/Host]

Around the same age as the son's girlfriend.

[Co-Host]

Dang.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. And the niece Is just like shocked. And she's trying to explain, like, well, if he wants it smaller, it's very easy for him to cut it himself. It's not a big deal. And the Sun's growing girlfriend gets so upset, she gets up in the middle of the dinner and walks away. Slams the door shut in the room.

[Co-Host]

Being pissed at Denise.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Wow.

[Comedian/Host]

And then the son leaves, he comes back out, he's looking for Advil because the son's girlfriend's head hurts. Bro, my head hurts. The netizens are all commenting, my brain hurts from watching this family. They say the crazy thing is, is usually, usually like you hear in Korea horror stories of like dads predominantly dealing with alcoholism. And then they turn into a different person when they're drunk. And like perhaps it's borderline abusive. Sometimes just like downright abusive. Right. So you hear those stories and so a lot of the times what netizens were trying to say, I'm just giving like cultural context for why they're saying stuff like this. They're saying typically it's the person who's drinking who's the problem in the family. Like their drinking is the problem and therefore they are the problem in that moment, in that present moment. But they're saying in this family, he's like the most normal one. Like, this is crazy. This is crazy. Everybody else is so much more toxic, so much more abusive. Not saying that if you struggle with an addiction you're toxic and abusive. But I think a lot of people have dealt with fathers who drink and then get toxic. So they're saying this is crazy. So she goes off, he brings headache medication. The husband is so confused. And he's also upset that his wife is not taking his side. So then he goes into the room, he's upset. And now the niece leaves because it's awkward, she doesn't know what to do. And it's just Mimi in the living room. And then eventually the son's girlfriend comes out and they start whisper shit talking the husband. So the wife is talking her husband with her son's girlfriend.

[Co-Host]

This gotta be a divorce, right? Yeah, like there's no okay.

[Comedian/Host]

He comes out and she's like, what, what? What do you want now? She's like screaming at him and he's like, what is wrong with you? Like, why are you talking me with her? She's not even your daughter in law. She's technically a stranger to the family. What's wrong with you? And that's pretty much most of their tapes. So end of the husband's Evidence tapes. And the producers are really distraught by this. Like, this is almost most. I don't know. This is pretty bad. This seems like it's as bad as it's going to get. And they ask, Mimi, did you even scold your son's girlfriend about what happened just now with the whole barbecue thing of, like, why he was cutting the meat? Like, that's a very rude way to talk to an elder, let alone your boyfriend's stepdad. And she's like, yeah, yeah, of course I scolded her. They play the tapes. She never scolded her. All she did was talk the husband. And she's in such denial. She refuses to listen to anything that is negative about her son or her son's girlfriend. It's the strangest thing in the entire world. This whole family is on the brink of a catastrophe. That is what the producers say. Like, we don't know what's going to happen. The kids are giant babies. Everybody's a giant baby. Nothing's going right. So what do we do? The worst part is. And this is the part that. That the celebrity producer was getting upset about. Mimi discloses that her son had a virus as a kid and he had to go into surgery. 80% of one of his lungs is unusable. But she still buys him cigarettes. He should not be smoking. So they ask, why are you buying him cigarettes? And she says, because he's going to buy the cigarettes regardless of if I buy the cigarettes. And I don't want him to go out in the snow and slip in a fall to go to the store.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, Down.

[Comedian/Host]

Yeah. So every single person in that courtroom is. Mouths agape. The other couples that everyone. The k netizens were dogging on two episodes ago, K netizens are apologizing. They're like, we take that back. You're actually pretty healthy. Like, you're actually fine like this. This is insane to me right now. But for some reason, somehow the court decides if both of them want to put in the work, they are going to admit them into the divorce camp.

[Co-Host]

Oh, my goodness. Really?

[Comedian/Host]

The verdict is. It seems like they still have some love for each other. They can save each other if they go to divorce camp. You know what I think?

[Starbucks Announcer]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Co-Host]

They see love.

[Comedian/Host]

You know what I think? I think they want some crazy moments in divorce camp.

[Co-Host]

They see an opportunity, and they took it.

[Comedian/Host]

Exactly. So they say. So with that, court is adjourned. And now they are headed to divorce camp with the two other couples that are also going to divorce camp. Let me know if you want that. Okay. They gave like there's a small section where they go to divorce camp, but this is ongoing right now. The next episode is going to come out in like the next few weeks. So please let me know if you want this. Because all Korean netizens can talk about is this family from divorce camp. And they need to know what happens in divorce camp because everybody is blown away that they're even going to divorce camp like this. That right here. Divorce babes. Like this is crazy. Both of you guys are crazy. Some people, some k netizens were commenting. Actually, they can never get a divorce. Don't ever let either of these people out into the single world. Other people are saying we don't need just divorce camp. We need the kids in the camp, the son's girlfriend. People are flabbergasted at the sun's girlfriend. They say she's actually the craziest of them all. I need to look inside her brain. She's not right. Something's not right up there.
