At some point, it became easy to see stories about the couple's sex life on variety shows. In 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell', 'A Couple on Rest', 'How's Your Marriage', and 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny', they use the titles of 'sexless' or 'marital relationship' to draw sensational topics. .

Beyond sensational topics, secret worries between married couples are revealed nationwide, and concerns about sexless or marital relationships are duplicated in each program. The worries are the same, but only the performers are different, so the fatigue is bound to increase.

Starting with MBN's 'Couple on Rest', which was first broadcast on the 19th, various solution entertainment is meeting with viewers. In solution entertainment, he proposes a solution to the troubles of the performers. Only the name of the program is different, but the trouble that often appears in tolerable solution entertainment is about 'sex lease' or 'marital relationship'.

'Couple on Rest' is a program that presents the world's only marital relationship solution to Korean couples living sexless for social and personal reasons. In 'Couples on a Break', Shin Dong-yeop explained, "I heard that Korea ranks second in the world for couples taking a break from relationships. The number one is Japan." Kim Sae-rom added strength, saying, "Even one out of three people is resting."

The production team of 'Couple on Rest' met a couple who lived without sex in Korea for 6 months. As a result, a couple's workshop was held through the program. The workshop featured a non-celebrity couple, comedian Jung Chan-min in their first year of marriage, and actor Lim Soo-hyun and his wife. Jung Chan-min and Lim Soo-hyun said, "After the wedding, the relationship between husband and wife disappeared." The two also said that they did not have a husband and wife relationship even during their honeymoon.

Prior to 'The Couple on Rest', the troubles of sexless couples were dealt with regularly in 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' and 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny'. Even the 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell' side featured 'Sexless' as a special feature. The worries are the same, but only the performers with the worries are different.

Comedians Kang Jae-joon and Lee Eun-hyung, singer Hong Seung-beom and Kwon Young-gyeong, and YouTuber Mu-cheol couple Kang Do-won and Woo-joo appeared on variety shows and directly discussed and confessed their concerns about sexless marriage. There are many reasons for being sexless. However, not everyone is the same because they are influenced by individual tendencies and society. It is good to borrow the power of programs to solve individual concerns. However, in the broadcast, a vague and principled solution is only presented.

All couples have different reasons for being sexless, so a broad solution may appear on the air. In the big picture, 'sexless' is a concern in the end. The troubles of sexless, which have been dealt with in other programs, have been transferred according to the name of the program, and only the performers have changed. Sexless here, sexless there. It was just covered with the story of the couple's private life. It seems to be promoting the public interest, but in the end it seems difficult to draw a line with sensationalism.
