Oh Eun-young, the agony and sincerity shown through ‘Oh Eun-young Game’

Dr. Oh Eun-young washed away the disgrace of being called a 'show doctor' and once again showed her true value as a 'childcare mentor'. In a situation where Oh Eun-young's strengths were diminishing due to frequent broadcast exposure and an expanded counseling scope, she once again shifted her focus to children and returned to a proper counseling program that provides practical help in raising children. ENA's 'Oh Eun-young Game' shows the agony and sincerity of Oh Eun-young, who has been preparing games for children's even growth and development for several years.

‘Oh Eun-young Game’ is a special project that brings out the secret weapon that Dr. Oh Eun-young has hidden until now: ‘play.’ This program divides a child's development into five types: physical, language, emotional, cognitive, and relationship, and provides play solutions that enable each area to develop evenly.

From the first episode, 'Oh Eun-young Game' attracted attention by featuring 100 children and observing and analyzing the characteristics of each type. Dr. Eunyoung Oh analyzed children into a five-pointed pentagon: body, language, emotion, cognition, and relationship, and classified children into the salient parts of these numbers to analyze their behavior. The children of the panelists all had different developmental types, and Dr. Eunyoung Oh explained the salient points of children showing different behaviors during the same play and pointed out the roles parents should play for each type.

In this process, Oh Eun-young's professional temperament shined. The analysis was sharp but created a comfortable atmosphere and extracted the necessary information in an easy-to-understand manner, automatically making viewers nod their heads. Even though his daughter Hee-yul answered correctly, he did not forget to give some sharp advice to Moon Hee-jun, who asked, “Are you sure?” by saying, “Hee-yul is a child who cares about other people’s facial expressions and emotions. It is not good to make a child emotionally agitated a lot.” .

‘Oh Eun-young Game’ was not created overnight. Three or four years ago, while developing a play project that would help children develop their important developmental areas evenly, I met the production team of 'Oh Eun-young Game' and prepared it step by step for over a year. Oh Eun-young's agony and sincerity were fully captured.

Oh Eun-young was recently criticized for the controversy related to 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell'. Since it is a program with his name on it, he cannot escape responsibility for the controversy over the program. As the scope expanded from children's behavior correction experts to adults, there were criticisms that it was an octopus-style broadcast, and people called it a 'show doctor'.

However, the power of the brand ‘Oh Eun-young’ remains. 'Oh Eun-young Game' also does not exceed the 0.5% viewership rating, but the number of views on YouTube and online is quite high. This proves that there are still many people who need Oh Eun-young’s counseling.

This is why I am glad to see Oh Eun-young, who removed the mara flavor and switched her focus from counseling for couples and adults to children, with a mild flavor.
