KBS's New Reality Show 'Noona is My Woman' Kicks Off with Exciting First Dates

The new KBS reality show 'Noona is My Woman' has officially begun its first dates, with younger men making their choices.

On the episode aired on the 3rd, the second morning at the 'Love House' dawned. The younger men, Kim Moo-jin, Kim Sang-hyun, Kim Hyun-joon, and Park Sang-won, were busy getting ready before meeting the older women. Kim Sang-hyun was even seen meticulously applying makeup with a spatula, surprising Han Hye-jin, who exclaimed, "Is he a makeup artist?" TXT's Soobin commented, "I have friends who do their own makeup like that. It's quite common among Gen Z."

During a meal with Park Ye-eun, Park Ji-won, Kim Young-kyung, and Koo Bon-hee, an invisible tension unfolded. Ji-won, who had chosen Moo-jin over her first meeting partner Sang-won, expressed her desire to talk to Moo-jin and sat close to him. Moo-jin, who received the most 'Love QR' from two older women, entered the 'Secret Room' to get a hint about their ages. He chose to check the hint for his 'first noona,' Bon-hee, without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Sang-hyun mentioned seeing Ye-eun stretching the previous night, leading to playful banter between them. Soobin was surprised by their casual hand-holding, asking, "Isn't that a big deal?" The 'Noona 2MC' Han Hye-jin and Hwang Woo-seul-hye reassured him, saying, "It's not that significant," finding his reaction endearing.

After the meal, the younger men received a message: "Please request a date within 5 minutes. You only have one chance, and it's first-come, first-served." Moo-jin and Hyun-joon quickly asked their 'first noonas,' Bon-hee and Young-kyung, for a date. Sang-won followed by asking Ye-eun. After hastily making their requests, Hyun-joon and Sang-won worried if they were being rude. Han Hye-jin assured them, "This is how it's done. Younger men act first and think later, and noonas like that." Sang-hyun, after much deliberation, chose Ji-won, completing the date requests.

Bon-hee and 'Yamujin' Moo-jin embarked on a romantic bus date. As they sat close, Bon-hee began taking pictures of Moo-jin, reminiscing about 'Buddy Buddy,' a nostalgic reference that confused the 4MC. Soobin noted the generational gap, saying, "I only know about it because of my older sister, who was born in the '90s."

Moo-jin felt the age difference, thinking, "There's a definite age gap." Despite this, he highlighted the advantages of being younger, wondering if they could overcome the generational differences.

Next, 'Harusunsak' Sang-won and Ye-eun's date was captured. Sang-won escorted Ye-eun with perfect manners, opening the car door for her. They enjoyed making makgeolli together, with Jang Woo-young admiring Sang-won's stable tone and manners. Their date was filled with laughter, but Ye-eun's question about wanting to know more people led to an awkward end.

'Geotbasokchok' Hyun-joon and Young-kyung created terrariums together. Hyun-joon showed his thoughtful side by selecting emeralds for Young-kyung, who liked the stone. He also helped her with fish at a meal, impressing Han Hye-jin with his gentle nature.

The final date featured 'Goldaeng' Sang-hyun and Ji-won. Sang-hyun expressed his desire to know Ji-won beyond appearances, while Ji-won found him more than just cute. Jang Woo-young praised Sang-hyun's sincerity, and Han Hye-jin noted, "Not all younger men are the same."

After the first dates, a new younger man, 'Meginam,' is set to join, promising more changes in the Love House.
