Bae Soo-jin, takes her child with her boyfriend and ‘lives together, not marriage’
'Cohabitation, Not Marriage' has finally released a teaser of real-life couples who have chosen 'cohabitation', a form of love that completely shares their daily lives 24 hours a day, including 'single mom' Bae Su-jin.

'Cohabitation, Not Marriage', which is scheduled to be aired for the first time on the 20th, captured attention with a teaser that gave a glimpse into the passionate, comfortable, or realistic love stories of lovers living together. The woman living with the first couple who appeared boldly stated, “Cohabitation is a necessary condition,” but the man living with the couple, who is a ‘Confucian man,’ said, “Cohabitation? “I can’t imagine,” he said, expressing a difference of opinion. The woman I live with said, “Wouldn’t it be nice to spend more time with me? It's okay if you're okay. “Aren’t we going to get married anyway?” he said, advocating for cohabitation. On the other hand, the man who lives with me expressed a negative opinion, saying, “There is opposition from my family, and their opinions are not positive,” and added, “I think this is probably the biggest crossroads in my life.” The woman living with him said, “You haven’t lived that long in life. “Do you not want to live with me?” she pushed her boyfriend. It raises questions about whether cool MZ generation couples with different ideas about cohabitation will be able to start living in the same house.

The second couple stole everyone's attention with the appearance of Bae Soo-jin, a 'single mom' who started living together with her first love who miraculously returned. Bae Su-jin's live-in boyfriend expressed his thoughts about her, saying, "I think she's my first love." Bae Su-jin also said, "We met for about a year and then broke up. “I can’t believe we went around and met like this,” he said, expressing his special feelings. After the two people were chatting for a while, Bae Soo-jin's young son, another 'housemate', appeared in their cohabitation house.

The happy daily lives of the three passed by with Bae Su-jin's comment, "I couldn't even imagine a family of three." After putting the child to bed, Bae Soo-jin and her partner spent some alone time, and Bae Soo-jin smiled and said, “I’m really happy.” However, when the child woke up and looked for his mother, he continued to cry, “Oh, it’s so hard.” Attention is being paid to how the cohabitation of the three, 'mother' Bae Su-jin, her young son, and 'mother's boyfriend', will progress.

The woman who lives with the last couple said, “If it’s a weekend, we’re together because it’s the weekend, and if it’s a weekday, we’re together because we work. If that’s the case, we decided to just get together,” and expected a happy cohabitation love story like a movie. However, in the scene that followed, the woman living with her asked a question, “Are we going to use this for living expenses?” and the man living with her said, “Of course!” “It’s for living expenses,” he answered as if it were obvious. The woman who lived with him, who seemed to feel something uncomfortable about this, shed tears in the following scene, saying, “I felt so bad, like the break-up of an engagement.” While the woman living with him, who has faced reality, is confused and asks, “Will I be able to handle it in the future?”, attention is focused on what kind of story the 24-hour close cohabitation diary of lovers in ‘reality, not romance’ will portray.

‘Cohabitation, Not Marriage’ will be broadcast twice in a row on the 20th at 8 PM.
