Marriage Hell’ Husband Who Lost Son and Now Cares for Vegetative Wife Shares Hopeful Update After 4 Months

The husband from ‘Six Couples,’ who has been caring for his wife suffering from Moyamoya disease, has shared an uplifting update on his life.
 
On the August 18th broadcast of MBC’s Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell (hereafter ‘Marriage Hell’), viewers were treated to the second part of the “After Special,” revisiting couples whose stories deeply moved the nation.

The third segment revisited the story of the ‘Six Couples’ family, providing a heartfelt update. Their heartbreaking story first shocked viewers when the husband lost his three-year-old son to Moyamoya disease, and his wife, suffering from the same illness, fell into a vegetative state. The husband’s unwavering devotion as he cared for his wife, waking every one to two hours each night for over three years, drew both sympathy and admiration. At the time, Dr. Oh Eun-young observed, “Enduring this isn’t just about love or relationships. You need to acknowledge your own limits.”



Four months after receiving guidance on the show, the husband appeared noticeably brighter. He shared that he is focusing on “finding happiness,” the first solution suggested by Dr. Oh, and is now documenting his journey to happiness through YouTube.

When producers asked if his YouTube channel was part of his healing process, he replied, “Primarily, it’s for my wife—so she can see it. And for my children, so that when they grow up, they’ll have stories from their dad to look back on.”

He added, “People have started cheering me on. I want to show them how I’m overcoming these hardships. Sometimes I think, ‘Let’s see whether fate wins or I do.’”
 
He also revealed that many comments have stayed with him, saying, “I want to comfort others too. I’ve received so much comfort myself.” Now, he thoughtfully replies to every supportive comment on his family’s YouTube channel.

The episode also highlighted that his wife’s university friends reached out after watching Oh Eun-young Report. Among the many encouraging video messages, Ha Won-mi, wife of baseball player Choo Shin-soo, appeared and said, “You remember me, right? Recover quickly so we can meet soon,” offering heartfelt support to the ‘Six Couples’ wife.


 
Previously, the couple’s eldest son confided in Dr. Oh about his loneliness. On this update, he shared, “After the studio filming, things really started to get better. My dad also improved after appearing on the show—about a month later, he even started running again.” The father and son have since begun exercising together, marking a positive and hopeful change for the family.
