MBN 'Oh Eun-young Stay' is redefining the temperature of 'K-reality' by embodying a journey of sincere empathy and recovery rather than offering one-sided advice.
The national comfort project 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' launched to celebrate MBN's 30th anniversary, authenticates the message that 'empathy is true comfort,' which is rooted in the warm synergy of the three MCs: Dr. Oh Eun-young, Go So-young, and Moon Se-yoon. It offers content that transcends conventional entertainment formats, leading not to simple comfort or laughter, but to emotional resonance and inner healing.
# A narrative structure of empathy transcending conventional healing entertainment!
'Oh Eun-young Stay' distinctly establishes a psychology-centered narrative that recognizes issues, explores emotions, obtains expert advice, and leads to participants' actions and commitments, moving beyond the simple comforts and emotional presentations commonly seen in existing healing entertainment. Participants confront confusion and wounds, articulate emotions, and encounter their inner realities, all while receiving Dr. Oh Eun-young's characteristic meticulous advice and interpretations, presenting a starting point for change that transcends simple consolation.
The previous season's participant, known as 'Mask Girl,' suffered from social anxiety after a long period of isolation. However, through conversations and emotional exploration on 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' she gradually opened up, revealed her face, and displayed her process of returning to everyday life. This symbolizes the essence of the empathy-based recovery narrative that 'Oh Eun-young Stay' pursues. Thus, 'Oh Eun-young Stay' proves what true 'empathy reality' is, with structural depth that allows viewers to share in the emotional journey without quickly consuming participants' stories.
# Authentic program centered on sincerity! Inducing emotional resonance without over-immersion!
'Oh Eun-young Stay' allows participants to feel sincerity through a poignant approach that does not consume or edit participants' stories provocatively. Without unnecessary dramatic presentations or exaggerated reactions, it deeply engages emotions in quiet voids and silences.
In the third episode, a bereaved family who lost family members in an airplane disaster unveiled profound pain that is difficult to gauge, and both Dr. Oh Eun-young and the participants explored how to accept pain with heartfelt attitudes, looks, and tears, taking the first step toward recovery together. In this way, 'Oh Eun-young Stay' encapsulates the power of collective comfort based on empathy and encouragement, establishing itself as empathetic content that builds emotional narratives within the framework of entertainment.
# An innovative format that turns collective, stay-type comfort into content
'Oh Eun-young Stay' is a 'collective stay-type format' that encompasses both space and method, providing participants with time to confront themselves in the unfamiliar environment of a temple stay away from their daily lives. The program is designed for participants to meditate, walk, share meals, and silently observe nature, providing a unique, albeit ordinary, experience over a two-day, one-night stay.
'Oh Eun-young Stay' creates psychological space for participants to step away from the noise of the city and the roles of daily life, allowing them to reflect more clearly on their emotions and thoughts. By connecting the keywords 'rest,' 'empathy,' and 'recovery' with actual spatial experiences and psychological content, it implements an experimental and genuine attempt not seen in any previous entertainment formats, presenting new forms and directions for healing entertainment.
The production team of 'Oh Eun-young Stay' stated, 'The program was born from the desire of both the cast and the production team that we need comfort in a time that is not okay, combined with the flow of the times.' They added, 'Please watch and empathize together as the participants' changes and commitments to recovery are realized in their lives.'
Meanwhile, MBN's national comfort project 'Oh Eun-young Stay' airs every Monday night at 9:10 p.m.
