Do-hyung and In-hyeong ignited fierce competition over Myung-eun, who was ranked 1st in first impressions, sparking a psychological battle in MBN's 'Dolsing Singles 7'.
In the second episode of MBN's 'Dolsing Singles 7', aired on the 27th, the 10 single men and women who moved into the 'Dolsing House' in Australia's Gold Coast, including Do-hyung, Dong-geon, Myung-eun, Sung-woo, Soo-ha, Ah-reum, Ye-won, In-hyeong, Ji-woo, and Hee-jong, revealed their reasons for divorce, followed by fierce mind games during a 'jogging date' and 'random date'.
On the first night at the 'Dolsing House', the singles took turns sharing their first piece of information, the 'reason for divorce'. Hee-jong said, "I married my direct senior during my early career, but because I put a lot of energy into my job for economic responsibility, my partner couldn't understand this, and we ultimately divorced due to differing values." Sung-woo added, "The economic reasons were significant. I had lived with my in-laws from the start of our marriage and had to support four people, including my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so I worked from morning till late at night. Additionally, I ended up with debts after closing my business a year and a half later, working 12 hours a day. I was so exhausted that when I went home, I wanted to rest, but no one understood that. Eventually, after a separation, I got divorced."
In a heavy atmosphere, Ji-woo said, "I fought a lot with my husband right after the wedding. One day, the other person informed me of their intention to end the relationship, and when it had been a month or two after the divorce, I found out that my ex-husband had started a life with another woman in the house where we had lived. It turned out that the married woman was a colleague of my ex-husband whom I had suspected for a long time, and she used to call me 'sister'. I have never shared this story with my family or anyone else," creating a sense of sympathy.
Next, Ah-reum stated calmly, "During what seemed like a smooth marriage, something occurred that made me lose trust in my ex-husband, and I could not shake off that thought, leading to the divorce." Do-hyung remarked, "I had to leave for overseas right after the wedding and started a life together with my spouse, but we fought a lot due to various issues. However, since we could only rely on each other, it became a trap," recalling the challenging period compounded by the pandemic. Myung-eun shed tears, stating, "After our marriage, a series of incidents led to daily fights. I did everything I could to maintain the relationship with my ex-husband, but my health deteriorated rapidly, so I informed both our parents and decided to divorce."
In a tense atmosphere, In-hyeong noted, "There was quite a difference in the economic scale between our families at the time of marriage. My parents provided significant support in many ways. Eventually, due to work, we became a weekend couple, but one day, when I got home earlier than usual, my wife was not welcoming and was irritated. Moreover, I sensed the presence of a man," shocking everyone. Dong-geon also shared that he lost trust when he discovered that his ex-wife had been in contact with other men while hiding the fact that she was married, revealing that he had to divorce before even holding the wedding.
Ye-won revealed that her divorce was due to conflicts with her mother-in-law, who had never been fond of her since their dating days, while Soo-ha also confessed, "Even while the conflicts with my mother-in-law were escalating, my husband did not support me," admitting to the issues faced during her marriage. To the heartbreaking stories of the 10 singles, the five MCs—Lee Hye-young, Yoo Se-yoon, Lee Ji-hye, Eun Ji-won, and Lee Da-eun—expressed, "I hope there will only be happy moments from now on" and "I wish that you find new love," offering their condolences.
After the revelations of the 'reasons for divorce', the 10 individuals received a notice message about the '6 a.m. jogging date' and moved busily. In particular, the single men began to assess whether the person they were interested in would go out for the jogging date at 6 a.m. or stay home. In-hyeong asked Myung-eun, who was ranked 1st in first impressions, if she would go jogging, to which Myung-eun replied, "I will see what the situation is." Both Do-hyung and Dong-geon posed the same question to Myung-eun, who after a moment of consideration replied, "I will go," prompting everyone to quickly head to bed. After 2 to 3 hours of sleep, In-hyeong quietly got into the 'jogging date' vehicle alone when her roommate and 'rival' Dong-geon did not wake up even to the alarm. Soon after, Do-hyung and Soo-ha got into the car, and when Myung-eun did not show up, In-hyeong and Do-hyung expressed their disappointment. Soo-ha also smiled bitterly, realizing that the Dong-geon she had been waiting for did not attend the jogging date.
In an awkward yet exciting atmosphere, upon returning from jogging, they shared breakfast prepared by Dong-geon while engaging in conversation. At this time, Do-hyung and In-hyeong shared their intentions to "continue to pursue the top person in their hearts," hinting at a love triangle war involving Myung-eun. As breakfast concluded, it was announced that there would be a 'random date' where the single women would choose an 'animal keyword' they were fond of for matching. In this round, Soo-ha chose an honest golden retriever, Ji-woo chose a passionate leopard, Ah-reum opted for a macho Maltese, and Ye-won selected a positive white horse, while Myung-eun, dubbed the 'kill-all first impression girl', arrived last and picked the remaining 'wholesome otter'. The five MCs watching remarked, "Myung-eun is such a heart-tugging style~." Immediately after, the matching results were revealed: Myung-eun and Do-hyung, Ah-reum and Dong-geon, Ji-woo and Sung-woo, Ye-won and Hee-jong, and Soo-ha and In-hyeong were paired for the 'random date'. Among these, Ji-woo and Sung-woo, who had both chosen each other as '1st in first impressions', were connected not only through breakfast dates but also through the 'random date', resulting in cheers from the MCs asking, "Is this fate?"
MBN's 'Dolsing Singles 7' Episode 3, featuring the singles' first 'random date' and 'job revelations', is scheduled to air on Aug. 3 (Sunday) at 10 p.m.
