Seohan-gyeol from SBS' Child release project - Residential matchmaking' stirs controversy by proposing that Jo Eun-na-rae become a full-time homemaker.
SBS entertainment program 'Residential matchmaking' is a surreal reality dating show in which 10 single men and women who want to marry and 10 mothers who want to marry off their children live together in one space for five nights and six days, watching their child's romance unfold right before their eyes. Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Yo-won and Kim Yo-han join as the three MCs. It is being broadcast popularly, rising to No. 2 in the 'Korea Netflix top series' category (as of Jan. 10).
In the fourth episode airing today (22nd), the mothers of the matchmaking men and women suddenly disappear from the lodging, leaving only their children behind, and at last the time for the matchmaking men and women alone begins. Freed from the mothers' surveillance (?), those who are no longer watched move actively toward people they are interested in, and a major upheaval is expected on the love front.
Among them, the ice-thin date between Jo Eun-na-rae and Seohan-gyeol is expected to draw attention. Seohan-gyeol, a lawyer, has continued to agonize between romantic attraction and real-world obstacles even after learning that Jo Eun-na-rae, a freelance announcer, is 7 years older. However, upon learning that Jo Eun-na-rae wants a quick marriage and childbirth and that her income is irregular, Seohan-gyeol's concerns deepen.
Meanwhile, Seohan-gyeol asks Jo Eun-na-rae an unexpected question, turning the date scene into an icy surface in an instant. Seohan-gyeol asks, "Can you be a full-time homemaker?" and says, "Isn't doing housework at home better in terms of value creation," coldly looking at their future. Kim Yo-han, the 'empathy sprite,' chokes up, saying, "Asking that to someone's face is understandable to make someone angry," and Seo Jang-hoon, the 'truth bomber,' shakes his head, saying, "That can be a very offensive thing. As soon as it comes out of your mouth it can become a minus." Jo Eun-na-rae is left silent, unable to respond to Seohan-gyeol's blunt remark that shakes her career as an announcer, drawing attention. This raises curiosity about which direction their storm-before-the-storm love front will take.
Meanwhile, Seohan-gyeol's mother also reveals complex feelings about the two's relationship, adding a sense of crisis. Seohan-gyeol's mother says, "The most troubling thing about Jo Eun-na-rae is her age, and other marriage conditions are also burdensome," expressing concern. Lee Yo-won empathizes as if it were her own matter, saying, "If my son's marriage partner were 7 years older, I would be troubled, too." Eventually Seohan-gyeol's mother directly tells Seohan-gyeol, "Seven years is not a small difference, Han-gyeol," and curiosity rises about how the mother's worries will influence Seohan-gyeol's final decision.
Will Seohan-gyeol's heart, standing before reality, ultimately waver, what choice will Jo Eun-na-rae's silence after the blunt question lead to, and a rollercoaster-like development is forecast on their love front.
