Reality Star Min Kyung Kwak Opens Up About Emotional Challenges on 'Transit Love 4'

Min Kyung Kwak, a standout participant from the reality dating show 'Transit Love 4', recently made her first variety show appearance since the series ended, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and her unspoken feelings.

Comedian Kim Dae-hee's YouTube channel 'Kkondaehee' featured a video titled 'Why is Minwawa Here?? (feat. Transit Love 4's Min Kyung Kwak)', where Kwak appeared as a guest to chat with Kim.

In the video, Kwak, who introduced herself as a graduate student and model, described the filming as "the most challenging experience of my life."

Kwak admitted to feeling overwhelmed due to her lack of familiarity with the detailed rules of the previous seasons, having only watched short clips to understand the show's flow. She confessed that the three-week journey was mentally exhausting.

The most challenging aspect for Kwak was dealing with unresolved emotions towards her ex-boyfriend, Jo Yoo-sik. She revealed, "I decided to participate just five months after our breakup, hoping we might reconcile, which made it even harder."

Kwak described the difficulty of watching Jo Yoo-sik interact with new partners all day, eventually leading to his successful transition with another contestant, which brought a bittersweet smile to her face. She added that the stress was so intense she often wanted to escape, crying and feeling angry to the point of having bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep.

Kwak also shared that her pride prevented her from properly monitoring her own screen time, as she found her on-screen persona too sad and pitiful to watch, indicating the emotional toll it took on her.

Despite the challenges, Kwak expressed no regrets about participating, as she had many good memories with Jo Yoo-sik. She also shared an interesting behind-the-scenes story about her famous line, "Why are you pretending to be so domestic?" which she thought would be edited out due to the dim lighting.

Meanwhile, 'Transit Love 4', featuring Min Kyung Kwak, captivated audiences by bringing together ex-lovers to revisit past relationships and explore new connections.
