Lie detector reveals husband lied about lack of intimacy with wife

During the 106th episode of 'Divorce Camp' broadcast on the 29th, a lie detector test revealed that Kim Seong-hwan's denial regarding his lack of sexual attraction to his wife, Choi Cheong-hwi, was false. The results highlighted a deep rift in the Gongpyeong couple, as Choi claimed they had not had sexual relations for three or four months following childbirth.

The studio atmosphere turned heavy during the 25th episode of the JTBC variety program 'Divorce Camp' when the psychological and physiological test results for the Gongpyeong couple were revealed. When the wife asked her husband if he was avoiding sexual intimacy because of changes in her body type, he firmly denied it, but the lie detector produced the opposite result. As the husband's explanation clashed with the test results, the wife finally revealed the wounds she had been enduring.

In the 106th episode of 'Divorce Camp' broadcast on the 29th, the psychological and physiological testing process for the 25th Gongpyeong couple, Kim Seong-hwan and Choi Cheong-hwi, was shown. The question posed by Choi Cheong-hwi to her husband was direct: "Is the reason you do not have sexual relations with your wife because you no longer feel sexual attraction because she has become fat?" Kim Seong-hwan replied "No" to this question, denying the claim.

However, the two had different memories regarding their sexual relationship from the beginning. When Seo Jang-hoon asked in the studio why they were not having relations, Kim Seong-hwan expressed his frustration, stating, "What I don't understand is that it's not that we don't have relations; even when sleeping, I touch her face and such." In contrast, Choi Cheong-hwi countered, "After giving birth, we had it exactly twice in the beginning, and we haven't had it since. We haven't had it for about 3 or 4 months." While the husband claimed there were no issues between the couple based on physical skinship, the wife perceived that sexual relations had essentially ceased following childbirth.

As the conflicting claims continued, Seo Jang-hoon focused on the wife's emotional pain. He remarked, "It is natural for the body to swell after childbirth, hair falls out, and there is a lot of stress, so how upsetting must it be when he doesn't even look at you in the midst of that?" He pointed out how the husband's indifference could leave a deep wound for a wife undergoing physical and emotional changes after childbirth. Kim Seong-hwan explained his actions by implying he was physically exhausted, but this was far from the sense of alienation felt by his wife.

The questions regarding the husband's sexual interest also extended to his use of social media. Seo Jang-hoon questioned why Kim Seong-hwan views photos of women's exposure or adult content on SNS. Kim Seong-hwan explained, "I just look at them once in a while to watch videos, and since they pop up there, I just pass by them out of curiosity." The fact that he appeared to show interest in images of other women's exposure while being passive in his relationship with his wife served as another source of doubt and hurt for her.

The decisive moment arrived when the results of the psychological and physiological test were released. Kim Seong-hwan's answer—that he did not avoid sexual relations because he lacked sexual attraction to his wife—was judged as 'false' by the test. As the result contradicted the husband's previous firm denial, the atmosphere in the studio instantly became heavy.

Seo Jang-hoon expressed disappointment at the unexpected result, asking, "Isn't this too much?" A flustered Kim Seong-hwan attempted to manage the situation by suggesting that the sweat on his hands might have influenced the test results. However, the psychological and physiological test measures physical responses to examine the possibility of a statement's truthfulness, and its results cannot definitively confirm an individual's inner thoughts or factual circumstances. Controversy grew as the broadcast revealed that the answer was judged as false.

Watching the test results, Choi Cheong-hwi could not hide her complex emotions. She confessed, "I thought it would be like that, but hearing it for real was shocking and upsetting." In a situation where the vague suspicions she held seemed to be confirmed by the test results on the broadcast, the wound felt by the wife was likely to be perceived as more than just the absence of sexual relations, but as a negation of her appearance and charm.

This broadcast revealed that sexual intimacy between a couple cannot be explained simply by frequency or physical contact. The changes in the body and living environment after childbirth, differing desires and fatigue, and the time spent failing to communicate these honestly may have fueled the conflict. More painful than the judgment of the lie detector itself was the gap between the husband's explanation and the reality experienced by the wife.
