The wife of the "Canadian couple" on 'Divorce Camp' caused a stir by promoting a documentary screening that would reveal her childbirth scene without mosaics. She claimed it was for educational purposes to promote natural childbirth, but the screening was canceled due to her husband's opposition. Lee Dong-gun and Seo Jang-hoon also expressed difficulty with the situation, sympathizing with the husband's stance.
In Episode 108 of JTBC's 'Divorce Camp,' broadcast on the 12th, the "Canadian couple" revealed a story about a serious conflict over a documentary screening depicting the birth process of their second child.
The wife shared her experience of giving birth at home, saying, "We had our second child at home through natural childbirth."
She then stated that she had hired a director to film a documentary movie and captured the actual childbirth process on video "like art."
There was a special reason behind the wife's production of the childbirth documentary.
The wife explained that she wanted to share her experience with others, stating, "I thought there needed to be someone who informs people about it if there are those who want natural childbirth."
She further expressed her desire to broaden perceptions about childbirth, saying, "I think there is a need to educate on such culture."
To this end, the wife planned to hold a documentary screening inviting a small number of audience members interested in natural childbirth.
However, a conflict arose with her husband one day before the screening.
The wife recalled the situation at the time, saying, "I had prepared very ambitiously, but my husband suddenly barged in and, after putting the child to sleep, said, 'Wouldn't it be better not to hold the screening tomorrow?'"
Ultimately, the two argued fiercely, and the scheduled screening was canceled.
The wife claimed that the cancellation of the event due to her husband's opposition also damaged her external credibility.
She poured out her frustration, saying, "It felt like I received a bad image of not being able to distinguish between public and private matters because an event could be overturned due to family issues, which was truly heartbreaking."
She added that she had been deeply hurt, expressing regret that the process of preparing for the event had come to nothing.
In particular, she claimed, "My relationship with the theater owner also soured; there were nine collaborations, but all fell through, and we are in a situation where we cannot work together," evoking sympathy.
However, the husband also had reasons why he could not help but oppose the screening. The documentary the wife wanted to release was an unedited video that did not mosaic the childbirth scenes.
In fact, the actual video captured the wife's childbirth process in close-up, and she wanted to show this to the audience without any separate blurring treatment.
Hearing this, Lee Dong-gun could not hide his surprised expression.
Seo Jang-hoon also expressed bewilderment by asking back, "You are screening the entire childbirth scene without mosaics?"
He then mentioned that male audience members might also be present to watch the video, saying, "Even so, husbands could come and watch."
The husband explained that accepting audience members without gender restrictions was the part he had been worried about, stating, "Everyone can see it."
In response, Park Ha-sun asked, "Would it be okay if you only showed it to women?"
The husband replied, "Yes," and revealed that he had proposed limiting the screening audience to women for his wife.
However, the wife believed there was a need to show the childbirth process to both men and women.
She shared her thoughts, saying, "Showing it only to women is fine, but in many cases, while most women want to do it, they are opposed because men do not want to bear that burden."
She added an explanation, stating, "I also wanted to let men know that natural childbirth is not necessarily a difficult or impossible task." One of the purposes of the screening was to help men who decide on childbirth together understand the actual process.
However, Lee Dong-gun and Seo Jang-hoon showed sympathy for the husband's opposition as well.
Lee Dong-gun said, "I think I would find it a bit difficult too," reacting that he might feel burdened by revealing the actual childbirth scene without mosaics.
Seo Jang-hoon also understood the husband's position, saying, "No matter how good the intention is, it is not easy to accept from the husband's perspective."
Park Ha-sun also expressed the opinion that if the husband does not want it, it would be better to adjust the level of exposure in the video or inform about the benefits of natural childbirth in a different way.
However, the wife repeatedly emphasized the educational and artistic value of the screening.
The wife explained that revealing the actual childbirth scene was meaningful, stating, "There is no opportunity to see such things for educational or artistic purposes."
She further revealed that she wanted to convey information based on her childbirth experience, saying, "I studied a lot about it and gave birth."
In addition, the wife repeatedly emphasized the reason she had pushed for the unedited screening, stating, "I thought showing it once was much better than explaining it 100 times."
