"Sex in stockings, my husband is a porn maniac" MBN, 29 gold irrational crossing the line

<<Yeji Ryu's yellow card>>
Reporter Ryu Ye-ji, TenAsia, properly digs into the most attention-grabbing entertainment incidents and accidents.

Is the purpose of revealing one's concerns and finding a solution, or is the purpose of raising viewership with a stimulating 19-year-old theme? Recently, an increasing number of broadcasting companies are revealing their true intentions with a high level of determination or 'good intentions'. MBN's 'Couple on Rest' is a representative example.

MBN's new entertainment program 'Rest Couple', which will be broadcast for the first time on the 19th, is the second entertainment program that Crea Studio, founded by PD Seo Hye-jin, will show after 'Burning Trotman'. The program was created with the intention of presenting the only 'couple relationship solution' in the world to couples who live 'sexless' for various reasons and helping to restore a healthy and happy marital relationship.

In line with the trend of the times, more and more PDs are making broadcasts with 'naughty codes' attached. PD Seo, who once created the legend of Korea's trot audition, also jumped into the '19 gold code' belatedly. '19 gold talk' is a double-edged sword. Instead of attracting people's curiosity and interest, there is a strong possibility that the stars and production team will fail to control the level. In fact, there are quite a few stars who have been left with the scarlet letter of 'sexual harassment'.

If you look at the teaser uploaded by 'Couple on Rest', "After the wedding, the (couple) relationship has disappeared" "I spend each room because the strong skinship is too much for me" "My relationship with me must have been a new world" "I even wore stockings neatly" "My husband Couples who share their concerns about sex life, such as “I enjoy porn” and “I lost my libido after giving birth,” appear.

The veiled 'resting couple' was full of stimulating conversations. I doubt whether it is excessive production to mention everything from sexual satisfaction to personal taste. Just looking at the teaser, it was full of stimulating stories, so it was not revealed at all what the 'resting couple' was trying to say. Criticism that it was not simply a setting aimed at topicality in the early stages also flowed out from the broadcasting station.

The times and the direction of the media are changing day by day. It is an era of diversified content. Broadcasters may focus on 'spiciness'. Because that too is a way to survive to meet your needs.

If appropriate, you can move on to a hilarious joke. But when it overflows, controversy follows. MCs can be accused of 'sexual harassment' at any time, and guests can be labeled 'sex relations' before their names are known. This is the reason why expectations and concerns intersect at the same time even before the airing.

While working at SBS, PD Seo planned and produced 'Star King', 'K-Pop Star', and 'Same Bed, Different Dreams'. After moving to TV Chosun, he created 'The taste of a wife, nowhere in the world', 'Love only for 100 days - the taste of love', 'Miss Trot' and 'Mister Trot'. Recently, he established his own studio and created 'Burning Trotman'. He is truly a star PD.

Seo Hye-jin is a role model for many aspiring PDs. However, the production of this 'Couple on Rest' could be both beneficial and risky for his career. This is because it is an entertainment show that digs into the most intimate parts of a couple and pursues stimulation. Interest is focused on whether the 'Couple on Rest' can become a guide for couples rather than just stimulating. What kind of record will PD Seo's 19 gold leave for her?
