MBC ‘Oh Eun-young Report-Again, Love’

The wife of the ‘Battlegrounds couple’ has passed away.

On the 18th, MBC ‘Oh Eun-young Report-Again, Love’ featured the story of a wife diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer and a husband who stayed by her side until the end. The ‘Battlegrounds couple’ are the protagonists of a story in which the husband recruited ‘users who would deliberately let themselves be killed by my wife’ on an online community for his game-loving wife who was terminally ill. At the time, countless gamers voluntarily took part in the event, delivering deep emotion, and it was introduced in the news, becoming a hot topic.

After five years of a happy marriage, the couple was struck by a bolt-from-the-blue diagnosis of terminal stomach cancer. The husband confided, “Seven months after giving birth to our second child, my wife went to the emergency room with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. Eighty percent of her colon was necrotic, and her organs had hardened like stone.”

After the game event ended, the husband confessed that he did not submit a waiver to forgo life-sustaining treatment because of one remark from his wife, “I want to live.” During her battle, the wife saw their two children only through photographs as she continued a difficult fight. However, amid repeated surgeries and excruciating pain, and while enduring for three months on opioid painkillers, she revealed her true feelings, saying, “It would be better to be born anew,” which brought the studio to tears.

Eventually, during filming, the wife had to undergo an emergency procedure, and the husband, saying, “Hold on, stay strong,” wept endlessly.

However, at the end of the broadcast, the news of the wife’s death was delivered, leaving viewers heartbroken.

Internet users expressed their condolences, saying, “Go to a better place” “Do not be in pain in the sky; rest comfortably” “A dependable father will protect the children.”
