[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] 'Human Theater' single dad Kang Seung-je opened up about his struggles while receiving psychological counseling.

In the episode aired on the 27th on KBS 1TV's documentary program 'Human Theater,' titled 'I am a Father' Part 4, the daily life of 33-year-old single dad Kang Seung-je, who is raising three sons aged 5, 8, and 9 on his own, was depicted.

On this day, after finishing work, Kang Seung-je visited a psychological counseling hospital with his son Ji-hoon. Kang met with a counselor to understand Ji-hoon's feelings, as Ji-hoon had severe separation anxiety after their divorce.

The counselor said, "It's natural that Ji-hoon is struggling because he went through a difficult experience. Still, the child is moving forward well. I am not worried about Ji-hoon," and added, "I am rather worried about Mr. Kang Seung-je."

Kang Seung-je revealed, "My limit of endurance, a full score of 100, is completely filled. I think I am just adapting in that state."

In response, the counselor advised, "Do not ignore symptoms that indicate pain. You must not reach your limit. You need to take action before that happens."
