Comedian Jang Do-youn drew a line with her mother, who hoped for a son-in-law.
On the 10th episode of tvN variety show "Gugidong Friends," the first episode showed same-age singles living together as "dongsachin" (a friend who lives with you): Jang Do-youn, Lee Da-hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Geun-seok, Ahn Jae-hyeon and Kyung Soo-jin starting communal living at the "Gugidong House."
That day, while Jang Do-youn was moving into the Gugidong House and talking on the phone with her mother, she went outside to avoid bothering Lee Da-hee in the next room, who is sensitive to noise.
Jang Do-youn answered her mother beyond the sign language interpreter, "There is no one like that. They are all friends. They aren't coming with such dark intentions. Why do you keep asking about pairing? It's creepy."
Later, in an interview with the production team, she explained, "My mother kept asking when the matchmaking program would be filmed. She asked if there was anyone she liked there. I said you shouldn't harbor such dark intentions, but a mother with a daughter seems different."
However, scenes of Jang Do-youn and Choi Daniel together later had a different tone. Among the Gugidong House members, Jang Do-youn was the same age as actor Choi Daniel, and before moving in Choi Daniel had subtly shown an open mind toward dating in an interview with the production team, saying, "If there are three men and three women, you never know."
While going to buy groceries, Jang Do-youn and Choi Daniel continued a conversation that showed common ground, saying, "It's not that I don't think about marriage," "I wasn't anxious in my 30s, but because all my friends are married and have children, I think my perspective has changed," and "I'm already 42."
At the supermarket, Choi Daniel stimulated women's hearts by taking off Jang Do-youn's outerwear for her. Back at the Gugidong House, while they were amicably preparing ingredients, he cut his hand and put a bandage on it like a couple ring, bringing laughter.
Meanwhile, Jang Do-youn, who has lived alone for 15 years, said of her reason for moving in, "I was agonizing a lot recently. If someone asked me 'what are you doing?' I would say I'm sick, but there was no one to ask. I hate being alone when I'm sick," and "If I keep living the way I used to, I'll probably be alone forever."
