Anchor Kim Jeong-geun shared his unique method of relieving stress.
On the 8th, a video titled "Husband who curses while sleeping?!! 100% real!" was uploaded on the 'Affection Project' channel.
On this day, when asked about his stress relief methods, Kim Jeong-geun said, "Sometimes I wonder where to vent my frustrations? I think I felt that frustration more after getting married." His wife, Lee Ji-ae, revealed, "That's why he curses in his sleep. It's true, he curses while sleeping." Kim Jeong-geun said, "Sometimes there are little things that make me feel upset, so I occasionally drive to a quiet place, or I end up running alone along the Han River until my shirt gets drenched."
Staff joked, "It might not be sleeping," and Lee Ji-ae joked, "Pretending to sleep? Is that how he curses?" She noted, "What really surprised me was during our honeymoon period when my husband was under a lot of stress due to a strike situation. It was a really stressful time, and I was watching TV in the living room when he momentarily fell asleep. But he suddenly shouted, "Damn it!" with such clear pronunciation. It was shocking."
He said, "I was really surprised. I thought, 'Wait a minute. Since they're damned, it can't be me, right?' There was something that weighed heavily on my heart, and since I couldn't express it to people, I ended up doing that. Even these days, I sometimes curse suddenly in my sleep. I curse while sleeping, and I curse while showering. I curse while doing the dishes. He thinks he can't hear it because of the sound of water."
Kim Jeong-geun quickly asked, "Doesn't that sound a bit psychotic?" and Lee Ji-ae replied, "That means it's sad. He says he dislikes doing the dishes the most. He can handle cleaning, but he really dislikes doing the dishes. He says it makes his chest feel tight. That's why he curses, but he thinks the sound of the water drowns out the curse, while in reality, they can be heard together outside. The kids sometimes get surprised." She added, "Don't do that. You shouldn't do it in front of the kids."
Upon hearing this, a female staff member said, "My husband also curses in his sleep. He yells when he sleeps in another room. He's usually a very gentle person, but he curses really loudly in his sleep," and Lee Ji-ae agreed, saying, "But he has such clear pronunciation." Then a male staff member shared, "I've heard it can lead to conversations in dreams. I once had a dream where my wife was cursing at me, and we ended up talking."
Lee Ji-ae expressed sympathy, saying, "I feel sorry for husbands," while a male staff member noted, "They can’t curse at work. When they come home, their wives yell at them. They have nowhere to vent, so they must curse in their dreams. That's how I see it." Lee Ji-ae suggested, "Maybe we should all do some stress release together. Couples should have empathy for one another and support each other." Kim Jeong-geun shared, "I feel like as we age, especially men, we become lonelier." The male staff member also remarked, "My wife always says it makes her feel sorry for me. Hearing that makes me feel sad."
Kim Jeong-geun reflected, "Back in the day when I saw my father, he would often talk to my mother when he came home during middle and high school. Fathers have to take care of and listen to their sons as they age, but fewer men express themselves like that elsewhere. So, they end up releasing their feelings at places like bars, and if not, they really don’t have an outlet. That’s why they run along the Han River. It's not like they can just share their inner struggles with anyone, and that's what we are trying to help with through this content."
Staff said, "For men of our fathers’ generation, being from Busan, my father is very stoic. He doesn’t drink or smoke, but he buys alcohol. However, he has started expressing himself more since he stopped working. He’s become more emotional. It seems like men become that way as they age," and Kim Jeong-geun noted, "Fathers were cool when they had the strength to endure. But when that crumbles, they try to endure for as long as they can."
Hearing this, Lee Ji-ae asked, "But isn’t it okay to break down? I mean, we’re family," and staff responded, "They think that way, but men believe they can't break down. They live with the thought that if they fall apart, the family falls apart." Kim Jeong-geun added, "Separately, they also need to have self-esteem," while Lee Ji-ae remarked, "Wives think, 'If he breaks down, I’ll hug him, but why is he trying to hold himself together?' Sometimes I think, 'He should at least tell me.'"
In response, the staff said, "I don’t think they have thought about breaking down," and "It might actually be about pride. They might not want to share their struggles with their wives." Lee Ji-ae shared her honest thoughts, saying, "I wish he would. I think it would be great if he saw me as someone to solve problems together."
