Recently, celebrity couples have been openly revealing their sex lives through broadcasts and YouTube. However, viewers’ reactions are divided over the fact that the intimate private lives of couples have become broadcast content.
On the variety show Lovers of Joseon aired on TV Chosun on the 9th, couple Yoon Jung Soo and Won Jin Seo visited the home of Bae Ki Sung and Lee Eun Bi.
On that day, Bae Ki Sung appeared to be in worse condition than usual. Noticing this, Yoon Jung Soo asked, “Are you feeling unwell today? Your voice sounds off. What’s wrong?”
Bae Ki Sung said, “I suddenly developed sudden hearing loss. I had tinnitus on the right side and then lost hearing in that ear.” Lee Eun Bi explained her husband’s hearing condition, saying, “One side cannot hear at all.”
Bae Ki Sung explained the reason behind his sudden hearing loss. “I went to a traditional medicine clinic and they said I used 200-300% of my strength,” he said. “I got stimulated and thought, ‘We have to have a baby,’ so we checked the ovulation day and had sex every day for eight days straight.”
Not to be outdone, Yoon Jung Soo also revealed, “In the early days of our relationship, I went to a university hospital for a CT scan because my head hurt so badly.” He confessed, “I thought my head was going to explode. I thought a blood vessel in my brain had burst.” Won Jin Seo recalled, “He did it several times a day,” reminiscing about Yoon Jung Soo in the early days of their relationship.
Similar examples have continued on YouTube. On the 10th, a video titled ※Attention Highly Educated Viewers※ | Suji and Friends EP.3 was posted on the YouTube channel “Hot Issue Ji.”
In the video, Lee Su Ji talked with Oh Na Mi, Park So Young, and Kim Hye Sun. They read self-introductions they had prepared in advance, and one of the items asked for “SEX,” meaning gender.
Reading the introductions, Lee Su Ji revealed the answers: “Kim Hye Sun answered 7 times, Oh Na Mi 42 times.” Surprised, Kim Hye Sun said, “Oh Na Mi, did you do it that much?” Oh Na Mi asked, “Doesn’t that mean age?”
Kim Hye Sun clarified, “It’s about how many times, right? I wrote the number of times I had sex with my husband.”
Like this, recently, candid conversations about couples’ sex lives have been appearing one after another on broadcasts and YouTube.
Viewers’ reactions are mixed. Some evaluate such openness about sex lives between couples as honest and realistic, rather than hiding it.
On the other hand, there are also many criticisms that overly explicit treatment of private sexual lives on broadcasts and YouTube, which families can watch together, is uncomfortable. There are also concerns that variety content is increasingly becoming provocative.
