[Sportschosun Reporter Lee Ji-hyun] The husband of the 'PUBG couple,' who appeared on Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC)'s "Oh Eun-young's Report: Marriage Hell" and received support from many viewers, expressed his gratitude after revealing the warm gesture of actress So Yoo-jin.
The husband of the 'PUBG couple' recently posted a long message on social media. "I thought the book I had put away was the last chapter, but when I opened it after some time and brushed off the dust that had settled on it, it had turned into blank paper," he wrote. "Now, holding a pencil made from the comfort and support so many people gave me, I am writing a new story, and before I knew it, I am spending the end of June with my children."
He confessed, "I have never been used to receiving things in my life, and I was always afraid of it, so I only tried to avoid it. I hoped my children would not take after me, but I realized too late that I had to change first for them to change too."
He added, "It may be shameless, but I will no longer push away the kindness coming my way. Though I am still immature, I will try to learn how to accept it little by little." He continued, "I have finally come to understand that if I survive and express my sincere gratitude in any form, it becomes happiness for both the person who gave and all of us who received."
He also shared a heartwarming story about receiving an unexpected gift after appearing on "Oh Eun-young's Report: Marriage Hell."
He explained, "I was surprised to see a pile of packages at home that I had not ordered. When I checked the delivery addresses, they were all sent to our home." He added, "When I looked at the sender, it had the name of a brand everyone has probably heard at least once. It was The BORN Korea."
He went on, "So Yoo-jin, a panelist on 'Oh Eun-young's Report,' sent food for my children to eat." He said, "It was a bit overwhelming, but I was taught that refusing food that comes to your mouth is not polite, so I will gratefully feed it to my children. Of course, I will eat it too."
He also added a playful remark. "Daeyujin, simply shining Yujin. I will bow once toward The BORN Korea and the Gangnam direction before going to sleep," he said, once again expressing his thanks. "I will repay this kindness in whatever form I can."
Finally, he closed the post with a warm message: "To everyone who happened to read this, you worked hard today as well. I hope tomorrow will be even brighter than today."
Meanwhile, last month the 'PUBG couple' appeared in Part 1 of MBC's "Oh Eun-young Report - Again, Love" and moved many viewers to tears. The couple drew attention after the husband recruited a user who would intentionally let his terminally ill wife defeat him in the game she loved, creating a remarkable scene as countless gamers voluntarily joined the event. The story was also covered in the news.
The episode portrayed the heartbreaking story of a husband who stayed by his wife’s side with unwavering love after she was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer, bringing tears to living rooms across the country. They had even been considering signing a waiver to stop life-sustaining treatment, but after the game event, his wife said, "I want to live," and they resumed treatment. However, near the end of the broadcast, viewers were told that as her 31st birthday approached, she had set out on a long journey to a place without pain after 117 days of memories, prompting another wave of mourning from viewers.
