Demand for abolishment of viewers’ programs rained down
▲ Some scenes from MBC entertainment program ‘Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell’.
MBC TV deleted the scene from its replay service on the 20th following the stepdad’s physical contact with his stepdaughter, which was broadcast on the entertainment program ‘Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell’, was embroiled in controversy over child sexual harassment.
In ‘Marriage Hell’, which aired the previous day, the story of a remarried family was introduced. Her husband, her first marriage, and her wife, who had a seven-year-old daughter from an ex-husband, were at odds over child custody.
The husband played with the child, hugged the child, and poked the child’s buttocks, saying ‘playing with a fake injection.’
In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young gave advice on physical contact and firmly said, “Even if you are a real father, you need to be careful, and a new father needs to be more careful.”
On the bulletin board of the MBC Viewer Communication Center, more than 100 messages of complaints and abolition requests from viewers related to the broadcast were posted.
