While there are women who like younger men in the world, there seems to be a distinct feeling in this group of women that an older man would be preferable. Perhaps this is an aspect of couple interaction that the production team didn’t think of, or perhaps they did think of it and simply weren’t worried about it (and the latter seems more likely). So far, the age difference has made some of the idols self-conscious, such as JB, and some of the idols, such as Ji-hyun, like their dates less, because her ideal type is older, rather than the younger Hyung-sik. Age is incredibly important in the way Korean people interact with each other on a respect level and friendship level, and having overall younger men than women seems a little silly when the status of being an “oppa” is so sought after. The show obviously tried to cast idols with a variety of fame levels and a variety of ages, which already seems to be causing complications in the show. The male idols are JJ Project’s JB, ZE:A’s Hyung-sik, 2PM’s Jun. The female idols are FIESTAR’s Jei, 4minute’s Nam Ji-hyun, AOA’s Hyejeong (or Hye Jung), and Rainbow’s Oh Seung-ah. There are four female idols and four male idols that are being paired off to have an organic dating experience on Jeju Island for this season. The difference between The Romantic and Idol and We Got Married is that the latter is more of a variety program and is known for being scripted, where as The Romantic and Idol is a reality program where there is very little staff involvement. The new season of the show has changed titles and now, instead of normal people, the romantics are K-pop idols from popular music groups.
#IDOL MANAGER ROMANCE MOVIE#
The Romantic was originally a reality TV program that involved normal bachelors and bachelorettes who spent nine nights and ten days together experiencing movie style romance. If you aren’t tired of hearing about the topic yet, there is another show airing now, which began on November 11th, called The Romantic and Idol, that is trying to give you an even more realistic view of idols dating (or so they say).
For the last month there has been rumor after rumor about idol couples (with so-called “proof”), and there has also been a number of romantic themed TV shows on the air that give fans a look into idol dating behavior. Idols dating, it’s a taboo topic for fans, companies, and the idols themselves.
