In 'Lovers of Joseon', Shin Hyun-seob, known as 'Sobaeknam' and 'Pond Man', looks back at his life story in numbers until he became a married man.
Shin Hyun-seob, who will reveal everything from matchmaking to marriage in the extreme realism documentary entertainment 'Lovers of Joseon' airing on the 19th, officially knocked on the door of 'Lovers of Joseon' with the nickname 'Sobaeknam', which means 'a man who has gone on 100 blind dates'.
In his younger days, Shin Hyun-seob enjoyed immense popularity through 'Gag Concert' and, at the age of 53, carries the title 'a man who has never dated, Pond Man', which evokes even more sympathy. When he first joined as a lover, he candidly revealed numerous encounters facilitated by a friend's introduction and marriage information companies. His story of being single until the age of 53 and his awkward 'dating novice' demeanor garnered much empathy and support.
Shin Hyun-seob's wedding featured several meaningful numbers. At 54, Shin Hyun-seob held a grand and touching wedding on April 20th with Jung Young-rim, whom he dated for over a year. The wedding attracted over 1,400 guests, and enthusiastic cheers erupted from friends who had been waiting for Shin Hyun-seob's wedding and 120 members of the Cheongsong Shim family. Among the guests that day, actor Jung Bo-seok noted, 'I was the first to start sending Shin Hyun-seob off to marriage. I introduced 5 people, but it failed,' sharing efforts that are now a thing of the past.
The extreme realism documentary entertainment TV CHOSUN 'Lovers of Joseon', which captures the life story of Shin Hyun-seob who successfully married amidst the cheers of over 1,400 guests, will air on the 19th at 10 p.m.
