"Yeon Sang-nuna" has emerged as a keyword centered on love entertainment shows.
Recently, a new trend has been formed by a series of love entertainment shows that put the rush of a younger man and the excitement of his sister at the forefront of the broadcasting industry. If existing love programs mainly dealt with narratives associated with men in their 20s, they are now moving rapidly in the direction of showing the relational changes and generational differences of older women and younger men. Viewers are also "more realistic and vivid." is the response.
The most representative work is KBS's entertainment show 'You're a woman to me' from the title. 'I'm a woman to me' depicts a relationship reality in which an older girl, who is the end of self-management, and a younger man of different personalities who will shake them up, find each other's mate.
At the production presentation, MC Han Hye-jin said "Younger men are fearless. The unpolished moment feels more attractive. He said, turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Jang Woo-young also emphasized the sincerity of the performers, saying "A program that only people desperate for love appear."
ENA·SBS Plus 'I'm SOLO' recently joined the trend by launching the 29th edition of 'Younger Special'.
Immediately after their appearance, the 29th cast members openly talked about their age and love experiences and explored each other. When the results of the first impression vote were released, the joys and sorrows of male and female performers were divided, and admiration and sighs erupted in succession in the studio. In particular, the production team announced that "An older couple who are about to get married in 2026 has already been born" to further boost the atmosphere.
Beyond the older couples, entertainment shows have also been created to look into the real couples. JTBC 'Straight Two Homes Home' features Jang Yoon-jung, Do Kyung-wan, and Jason and Hong Hyun-hee, who are considered representatives of the entertainment industry. In the recent episode, Kim So-hyun and Son Joon-ho, who are eight years younger than him, are also guests.
"Honestly, if you don't take off the family relationship certificate, you forget that you're close to your husband," Kim So-hyun laughed. But soon "I don't want you to call me sis."He confessed that he was an older wife and honestly expressed his inner feelings. When Do Kyung-wan asked "Is there anything you want young husbands not to do just this?" Kim So-hyun replied "Often treat me like a dead man. This is disappointing. I want to be protected and cared for", he confessed. Jang Yoon-jung, who was watching the VCR, said, `It was amazing that I was curious about it. Aren't you saying that you wanted to see me through your sister?"
Among the viewers, the reality and emotions of the couple who are close to each other are vividly felt", "It's a variety show, but it's more realistic than a documentary" is receiving a series of responses.
The reason why older entertainment shows are appearing one after another seems to be because they look at new types of lovers that are clearly different from existing love entertainment shows. Producer Park Jin-woo said, "There have been so many love programs, but most of them are people in their 20s or men are older."He also explained that he picked a case where a woman is an adult to be differentiated." In the future, it is expected that a large number of entertainment programs in different forms of love will appear.
