Yewon from MBN's Love after Divorce 7 confirmed their differences during a 'secret date' with Hee-jong, while confessing that she is 'raising a three-year-old son,' surprising both the five MCs and viewers.
In the 4th episode of MBN's Love after Divorce 7, which aired on the 10th, 10 single men and women—Do-hyeong, Dong-gun, Myung-eun, Seong-woo, Soo-ha, Ah-reum, Yewon, In-hyeong, Ji-woo, and Hee-jong—were seen spending the second night at the 'Divorce House' set up in Gold Coast, Australia, in a '1:1 rounding date'. Additionally, on the third day, they entered a 'secret date' chosen by the women, where Dong-gun went on a date with Soo-ha and Ah-reum, Seong-woo with Ji-woo, In-hyeong with Myung-eun, and Hee-jong with Yewon, while Do-hyeong was left alone in the 'Divorce House' after receiving no votes.
First, the situation of the '1:1 rounding date' was revealed. Ah-reum's first partner was Dong-gun, with whom she had a mutual liking after a 'random date'. In this setting, Ah-reum honestly stated, 'At first, I gave you 5th place in the first impression vote, but my feelings have changed through the date.' Dong-gun replied, 'I also had a change in feelings towards you,' creating a peculiar excitement. Do-hyeong shared his first conversation with Myung-eun, his 'top choice', saying, 'I have met someone here who can fulfill my expectations,' indirectly confessing to her as they shared their views on 'marriage'.
Soo-ha eagerly waited for her 'top choice', Dong-gun, to have a '1:1 conversation', but their conversation became awkward as Dong-gun only talked about the 'menu' for the next day. Eventually, Dong-gun said, 'Today, instead of me, it will be 'Soo-ha Imo-kase!' which surprised Soo-ha. Nevertheless, Soo-ha subtly suggested, 'I feel like I'm still trying to flirt with you,' to which Dong-gun remarked, 'Unless the person is a fool, the one being flirted with will feel it,' seemingly speaking about a third party, leaving Soo-ha sighing. In-hyeong confidently asked Soo-ha during their '1:1 conversation' if her feelings had grown from their earlier 'random date,' but Soo-ha admitted, 'Honestly, it felt like you were focused on getting 'screen time' during the date, which broke my concentration,' surprising In-hyeong. Realizing her mistake, In-hyeong sincerely apologized, saying, 'I think I might have created a misunderstanding by trying to make the atmosphere fun.'
Myung-eun conversed in succession with Dong-gun and In-hyeong, who had both chosen her as their 'top choice'. In her first meeting with Dong-gun, Myung-eun disclosed her reason for selecting him as '2nd place', saying, 'I found out through conversation that he has a very pure love aspect,' mentioning similarities to her past relationship experiences. Following this, while discussing marriage with In-hyeong, Myung-eun showed her affection by saying, 'I think the calm way of resolving conflicts during arguments matches my personality.' In-hyeong expressed, 'If I have the opportunity tomorrow, I would like to go on a 1:1 date with you,' to which Myung-eun replied, 'Sure.' However, in an interview with the production team, Myung-eun revealed, 'The conversation with my 'top choice' In-hyeong stood out the most, but I also want to get to know '2nd place' Dong-gun better,' indicating that she had not yet made a decision.
Meanwhile, Hee-jong became confused when conversing with Yewon, who he had regarded as his 'top choice'. While having a '1:1 conversation' with Ji-woo, he became quickly closer through their common ground as 'salespeople', but miscommunications piled up in his conversation with Yewon. When Yewon asked, 'How did you feel when I said I talked about you as my '2nd choice'?', Hee-jong, not understanding Yewon's hidden meaning, responded, 'It didn't matter much', causing Yewon to think, 'He had no thoughts about it.' Consequently, their conversation went awry by each catching on to the other's words. After finishing the 'rounding date', Hee-jong returned to the room and shared with his roommates, Do-hyeong and Seong-woo, 'I can't communicate well with Yewon,' and then expressed, 'My 2nd and 3rd choices are Ji-woo and Myung-eun, so their favorites overlap with mine now.'
In the blink of an eye, a 'roommate war' was declared as the 'secret date', which is matched by the women's choice, continued. The method was that as the men were getting into their cars, the women would get into the car of the man they selected. Ji-woo, who had promised a 1:1 date the night before, got into Seong-woo's car, while Myung-eun got into In-hyeong's. Yewon sat in Hee-jong's car, and Soo-ha and Ah-reum sat together in Dong-gun's car. In contrast, Do-hyeong was left alone in the 'Divorce House' with '0 votes', feeling bitter.
Immediately, the date between Hee-jong and Yewon unfolded, during which Hee-jong opened up by saying, 'I felt like our conversation last night ended uncomfortably' in the car while moving. Yewon replied, 'I drank a lot of wine while waiting for you, so I don't remember well,' clearing up the misunderstanding from earlier. Hee-jong said, 'My frustration has been relieved.' Shortly after, the two enjoyed a pleasant time interacting with koalas and kangaroos at the Gold Coast wildlife sanctuary. However, during dinner, they hit another snag. Hee-jong asked Yewon about her 'hobbies', stating, 'I can only date if our values align,' but Yewon couldn't answer readily. Even to Hee-jong's remark of whether it was necessary to be cautious about hobby confessions, Yewon expressed frustration, stating, 'There can be times when one has no hobbies.'
Shortly after, Yewon, in a heartfelt interview with the production team, expressed, 'Through the secret date, I felt that we don't think alike with Hee-jong,' adding, 'I used to have many hobbies, but it's hard to engage in hobbies while raising a child...' admitting that she is raising a three-year-old son. Hearing this, the five MCs—Lee Hye-young, Yoo Se-yoon, Lee Ji-hye, Eun Ji-won, and Lee Da-eun—expressed regret, saying, 'We thought she was the youngest and wouldn't have a child,' while Yewon tearfully remarked, 'I kept thinking about my child at the wildlife sanctuary.' It remains unclear how the timing issues between Yewon and Hee-jong, who do not understand each other's situations, will lead them apart, and what other situations will unfold in the upcoming 'secret dates', which can be seen in the 5th episode of MBN's Love after Divorce 7, airing at 10 p.m. on the 17th.
