The Ultimate Reality Show Where Moms Play Matchmaker
Have you ever wondered what would happen if your mother was in charge of your love life? That is exactly the chaotic and hilarious premise of SBS's rising variety show, "Child Release Project - Group Blind Date." This isn't just about singles meeting each other; it is a high-stakes environment where 10 single men and women live together for six days, accompanied by their mothers who watch every move from the sidelines. It is a hyper-realistic dating experiment that puts family dynamics to the ultimate test.
With a star-studded MC lineup featuring Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Yo-won, and Kim Yo-han, the studio is constantly filled with over-the-top reactions and laughter. The show has already hit the ground running, securing a successful average viewership rating of 2.7% for its premiere, with a peak of 4.0% in the metropolitan area. It seems viewers are already hooked on this unique blend of romance and parental commentary.
High-Spec Suitors Shake Up the House
In the second episode airing today (the 8th), the tension hits a new high during the dreaded yet anticipated "Self-Introduction Time." This is the moment where the men reveal their backgrounds, and let's just say, the mothers are listening very closely. As the moms begin their PR campaigns for their sons, some jaw-dropping specs are thrown onto the table. We are talking about professional lawyers, owners of private homes in Seoul, and graduates from the prestigious S-University.
The atmosphere in the room shifts instantly. When the lawyer candidate appears, you can practically see the hearts in the mothers' eyes light up. They immediately launch a barrage of questions that matter most to them: dating history, acceptable age gaps, and even the economic status they desire in a daughter-in-law. The contrast in interest levels is so stark that MC Lee Yo-won couldn't help but laugh, noting, "See? I knew the mothers would love the professional 'Sa' job titles." It is a brutally honest look at what parents prioritize.
The Shocking "Mom's PICK" Twist
Just when the participants thought the introductions were the hardest part, the show introduces a twist never before seen in dating reality history: the "Mom's PICK Date Selection." Usually, the singles choose who they want to date, but not here. Immediately following the introduction of these impressive specs, the mothers are given sole authority to match their daughters with a date partner—without consulting the daughters at all.
The results are pure chaos. The mothers' preferences flip 180 degrees after hearing the men's qualifications, leading to unexpected pairings that leave the daughters looking visibly confused and flustered. The situation escalates to the point where the MCs scream "Oh My God!" in disbelief. One male participant even receives a shocking sweep of votes, causing Seo Jang-hoon to yell "Jackpot!" while Kim Yo-han grabs his hair in frustration, shouting, "Mothers, why are you being like this?!"
To witness this clash of generations and romance, tune in to SBS's "Child Release Project - Group Blind Date" every Thursday at 9 PM.
