Jang Sohee, who became a mother at the age of 19, along with her husband Cha Sangmin, whom she has 13 years of age difference with, make their first appearance in MBN Teenage Parents 2 on the 30th. They reveal their daily life as the parents of two daughters who are 7 and 5 years old.
They reenact their first encounter. 17 years old Jang Sohee and 30 years old Cha Sangmin first met when the two of them worked part-time in a chicken restaurant. Cha Sangmin aggressively approached Jang Sohee and the two of them started their relationship as soon as Jang Sohee turned 18, overcoming the 13 years of age difference they have. Despite their parents' opposing their relationship, the two of them decided to have their baby. Jang Sohee told her strongly opposing family that she will hide in a place where nobody knows if they keep trying to get rid of the baby. In the end, Jang Sohee's parents give their blessing under one condition, Jang Sohee has to graduate from school if she's going to keep the baby.
Jang Sohee is now 25 years old. The baby she had at the age of 19 is now 7 years old and at the age to go to primary school. Her husband, who is 13 years older than him, claims that he gets a lot of critics because of the age difference he has with his wife. People will say, 'Why would a young girl date a middle-aged man? This is sexual harassment', etc. They reveal that they still get the same treatment from people around them even after they got married.
-That is horrible...
-I think the broadcasting company is really problematic for airing this kind of show...
-An adult impregnating an underage girl, it's obviously sexual exploitation.
-Why would you aggressively approach a 19 years old girl in the first place...
-There are no 30-year-old men in their right mind who would hit on a 17-year-old girl...
-I personally think this show should be discontinued...
-That means she was underage when it all happened? Regardless of their age gap, they dated and had a baby when she was still underage... Oh my goodness...
-Yes, that is sexual exploitation. Does an adult being in a relationship with an underage make sense to you?
-That's what grooming is...
-I have a lot to say but I'd rather not...
-Normal 30-year-old men would not hit on underage girls...
-Does this show give any solutions to the couple? I don't understand why they're willing to appear and even reveal their identity on this show...
-Seriously, though... I feel sick reading this...
-I am speechless...
