<<Ryu Ye-ji's yellow card>>
TenAsia reporter Ryu Ye-ji takes a proper look at the entertainment industry incidents and accidents that are attracting the most attention.
'Bae Dong-seong's daughter' Su-jin Bae will appear on a dating reality show again. This is my fourth appearance on a different broadcasting station. At this point, it's at the level of breaking the seal of a dating program.
He is currently appearing on Channel A's 'Cohabitation, Not Marriage'. Bae Su-jin, who is 28 years old this year, said, “I continue to be a YouTuber, raise children, and work on broadcasts. I was hurt by the recent broadcast, so it was difficult for me to appear on this show.” He shared the reason for his appearance, saying, “There are a lot of malicious comments saying I have no idea, I thought about it 100 times,” and “I decided that I could show my real self by appearing with my boyfriend.”
Bae Seong-woo, the boyfriend who appears together, is Su-jin Bae's first love from 7 years ago. It was said that the two people broke up while dating and then reunited after Bae Soo-jin divorced. The two have been living together for almost a year. Regarding the reason for choosing to live together instead of getting married, the man who lived with me said, “I wanted to do it right away, but my parents didn’t completely approve,” and shared a situation where they didn’t get permission from their parents. At the same time, the two said, "But we are thinking about getting married with confidence," and said that it was a preparation process for marriage.
Can Bae Seong-woo really be her last love? Bae Soo-jin has already revealed on other broadcasts her boyfriend before marriage and the boyfriends she met after her divorce.
He even appeared with his lover Lim Hyeon-jun on E Channel's 'My Daughter's Men 2', which aired in 2017-2018, and continued to date publicly. Even though Bae Dong-seong is watching, the two show unstoppable skinship, such as kissing and hugging.
Not long after, Bae Soo-jin and his wife announced their marriage along with the news of a premarital pregnancy. At the time, Bae Soo-jin’s husband-to-be, Lim Hyeon-jun, said, “I am really, really happy and happy. Please give us lots of blessings and congratulations. We will only look at each other for the rest of our lives and live beautifully, happily and happily. He also said, “Thank you.”
However, the two divorced in May 2020. Bae Soo-jin, who became a 'single', dreamed of dating a new man while appearing on MBN's 'Idol Singles', which aired in July 2021 a year later. Bae Soo-jin and Choi Jun-ho, who had chosen each other in the first choice at the time, continued to live together, but in the end, Choi Jun-ho did not choose Bae Su-jin in the final choice, and they did not reach the stage of public dating.
Bae Soo-jin's journey to find another man other than Choi Jun-ho continued. Four months later, he appeared on TV Chosun's 'The Man Who Uses His Wife Card' (hereinafter referred to as 'Wakanam') and had a blind date with an unmarried man. In particular, on this day's broadcast, Bae Su-jin attracted attention by having a 'double blind date' with her mother, Ahn Hyun-joo. The two shared their opinions about dating side by side and worked together from preparing for a blind date to meeting each other.
In the end, viewers were put in a situation where they had to watch Bae Soo-jin's boyfriend before marriage, premarital pregnancy, marriage and divorce, a single woman's blind date and romance, and even living with her past first love. After making his name known through a blind date program, some are pointing out that he may be belittling dating by bringing up the topic of singles.
Is the ‘real love’ shown by Bae Soo-jin, a regular guest on dating programs, really real? As a mother of one child, it is time to consider whether appearing on TV in succession may have side effects not only for you but also for your family. The more stories there are about the romantic relationships of 'second-generation stars' who are not even celebrities, the more tired they become.
