A new episode of JTBC’s “Divorce Consideration Camp” aired on July 31 shocked viewers with a deeply disturbing marriage story, involving extreme obsession, surveillance, and infidelity.
The couple, introduced as the 14th pair on the show, is grappling with severe marital breakdown. The husband, who grew up as an orphan and says he lacked affection in his youth, became unhealthily fixated on his wife. His behavior included installing home cameras to monitor her, confiscating her phone to read texts and social media messages, watching her bathe without consent, and even smelling her clothing.
Most troubling, the man admitted to using threats and violence to control his wife. “If she said she was going out late at night, I’d threaten to smash her head with a soju bottle,” he revealed on air.
Unsurprisingly, the wife said she felt trapped: “It’s like being imprisoned and constantly restricted. I want a divorce,” she stated.
However, the wife herself was not without fault. In September last year, the husband caught her having an affair —with none other than her friend’s husband.
The affair allegedly began in July of the same year. The wife claimed it started with “a one-night mistake” after drinking alone with the other man, but continued afterward at both a motel and their own home. Shockingly, the two couples were close family friends, even going on trips together during the affair. The wife’s friend—whose husband she was involved with—was pregnant with their second child at the time.
The husband, despite the betrayal, chose to forgive her. However, the trauma worsened his obsessive behavior. “I never used to be like this,” he confessed. “When I see her online on social media, I can’t stop imagining she’s talking to him. It drives me mad.”
The wife, meanwhile, remained oddly unfazed: “It was just a one-night mistake. I told him to forget it ever happened,” she said, unapologetically.
The story has ignited fierce reactions online, with netizens expressing equal concern over toxic control and moral collapse in the marriage. As “Divorce Consideration Camp” continues to expose real-life relationship crises, viewers are left reflecting on the emotional toll of betrayal, possessiveness, and unhealed wounds.
