New variety show "X's private life" raised anticipation for the main broadcast by releasing a teaser video ahead of its premiere.
The TV CHOSUN "X's private life," which premieres on Mar. 17 (Tue), is a real observation program that watches the daily life of an ex-spouse after divorce. Once closer than anyone, but now "worse than strangers," it is a "reality show arranging the positions of divorced couples" that looks into the distance between the two and the remaining textures of emotion between them.
The teaser released ahead of the main broadcast opened with the strong concept of "watching X." "I cried because I didn't want to go to the wedding," "I felt like I was suffocating to death," and other sweet moments of the past and the sharp memories of the divorce are shown in cross-cut edits, recalling both the beginning and the end of the relationship at the same time. The screen then adds the phrase "What if you watched the private life of divorced X?" to pique curiosity.
In particular, tension rises as a scene in which X meets a new romantic partner briefly flashes by. The narration, crossed with the ex-spouse's complex expressions watching this, foreshadows that the program will look beyond a simple observational variety show to the rawness of emotions.
Kim Gu Ra and Jang Yoon Jeong also appear as MCs. Jang Yoon Jeong watches the scenes in the teaser while adding realistic advice and deep empathy with the comment that viewers can watch not only the daily life of divorced X but also meetings with new romantic partners. In particular, Jang Yoon Jeong empathizes with divorced couples' stories, saying, "It's complicated, complicated." Joining as panelists, Cheonrokdam and Jung Kyung Mi also view the situation from different perspectives, adding dimensionality to the program.
At the end of the teaser, it asks, "Can you sincerely wish happiness for an ex-spouse you broke up with?" It is a weighty sentence that makes people rethink the meaning of relationships beyond mere curiosity.
The production team asked viewers to look forward, saying, "Through X's changed appearance, not only the participants themselves but also viewers will reflect on their own lives and relationships," and added, "In a modern society where the divorce rate has risen sharply, it will be a new concept of reality that watches the present lives of divorced people, allowing them to grow together and convey warm empathy."
Meanwhile, the divorced couples' position-arranging reality TV CHOSUN "X's private life" will premiere at 10 p.m. on Tue., Mar. 17. Attention is focused on how the tangled emotions shown in the teaser will be unraveled in the main broadcast.
