Korean Entertainer Tak Jae-hoon Jokes About Matchmaking Service Fees on 'Groom Class 2'

Korean entertainer Tak Jae-hoon (57), who divorced in 2014, humorously speculated about the cost of joining a matchmaking service.

On the upcoming episode of Channel A's 'Groom Class 2', airing at 10 PM on the 16th, viewers will see volleyball star Kim Yo-han, dubbed the 'Kang Dong-won of volleyball', making his first appearance as a '4th-grade 0-class' student, receiving a warm welcome from mentors Lee Seung-chul, Tak Jae-hoon, and Song Hae-na.

Kim Yo-han visits a matchmaking company, confronting the objective reality of his status as a prospective groom. He confesses, "I actually considered joining this place 10 years ago." The couple manager delivers a harsh reality check, stating, "Even by international age standards, you're 40, which is considered late for marriage," and adds, "Not having dated for over three years makes it difficult to assess your dating tendencies, complicating the matching process."

Additionally, the manager notes, "Your excessively tall height and very handsome appearance might be intimidating to potential partners," leaving Kim Yo-han visibly unsettled. The unexpected 'deduction factors' and the manager's candid evaluation cast a shadow over Kim Yo-han's demeanor. Viewers are left wondering if Kim Yo-han can overcome these hurdles and achieve a 'strong spike' towards marriage.

Meanwhile, 'student supervisor' Tak Jae-hoon jokes about the matchmaking service fee upon hearing Kim Yo-han's membership cost, saying, "If I were to join now, my fee would be 100 million won!" This remark elicits laughter from everyone. Kim Yo-han then adds, "After checking the grading chart, it turns out Tak Jae-hoon's membership conditions would indeed cost around 100 million won. It's chilling," prompting a second wave of laughter.
