The Ultimate Mom-Approved Dating Experiment
The new SBS variety show, *Child Release Project - Cohabitation Matchmaking*, is shaking up the reality TV landscape. The premise is as intense as it sounds: ten singles looking for marriage and ten mothers desperate to see their children settle down live together for six days and five nights. It’s a hyper-realistic observation experiment where moms watch their children's romance unfold right before their eyes. Hosted by Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Yo-won, and Kim Yo-han, the show features hilarious and immersive reactions from the MCs. It’s already off to a strong start, securing a successful launch with an average viewership rating of 2.7% and peaking at 4.0% in the metropolitan area.
A Lawyer’s Entrance Stuns the Mothers
In the second episode airing on the 8th, the tension rises during the highly anticipated "Self-Introduction" segment. This is the moment both the singles and the mothers have been waiting for. As the mothers begin to PR their sons, the room is thrown into a frenzy with the reveal of some jaw-dropping specifications, ranging from professional accolades to assets. We’re talking about credentials like "Seoul homeowner," "S-University graduate," and the coveted "Lawyer" title.
When the lawyer suitor steps up, the atmosphere shifts dramatically. The mothers’ eyes light up, and they immediately launch a barrage of sharp questions. They ask about everything from his dating history to his preferred age gap and even the economic status he expects from a partner. The sheer volume of questions directed at him compared to the others didn't go unnoticed. MC Lee Yo-won cracked everyone up by pointing out the obvious reality, noting, "See? I knew the mothers would love a professional with a prestigious title."
The Shocking Twist: Mom Picks the Date
Just when the dust settled from the introductions, the show introduced a rule that doesn't exist in standard dating programs: the "Date Request Time." However, there was a massive catch. It wasn't the singles choosing their partners—it was the "Mom's PICK." In an unprecedented move, the mothers were solely responsible for matching their daughters with a date.
This led to chaotic scenes where dates were decided without a single word of input from the daughters involved. The mothers' preferences took a complete 180-degree turn after hearing the specs during the introduction, leading to shocking choices. The studio MCs couldn't handle the tension, screaming "Oh my god!" at the unexpected pairings. Even the daughters were visibly flustered by their mothers' bold decisions. The situation escalated when one man received an unexpected landslide of votes. Seo Jang-hoon exclaimed, "This is huge," while Kim Yo-han was seen grabbing his hair in frustration, shouting, "Mothers, why are you doing this?!" creating a hilarious scene for the viewers. You can catch all the drama on SBS every Thursday at 9 PM.
