Cast of ‘Sundabang’

(Naver V app)

Singer Lee Juck, actress Yoo In-na and comedian Yang Se-hyeong, the main cast of tvN’s reality show “Sundabang” took to the V app Saturday to give advices on fans’ relationships.

The new tvN show features the celebrities running a cafe specialized for blind dates. While watching the blind dates, they share their thoughts on love, relationships and life.

When a fan complained about the pressure to get married, Lee said, “There’s nothing more dangerous than a marriage for marriage’s sake.”

“I think there should not be words such as old maid, old bachelor and a marriageable age. It is the marriageable age when you marry someone you truly love,” he said. “That age can be 50, 60 or 70.”

When a fan expressed her worries that her boyfriend in a long-distance relationship may cheat on her, Yoo said, “Cheating on your partner has nothing to do with long-distance relationships. Those who will cheat, cheat anyway while those who won’t, don’t.”

“If he does cheat on you, break up with him instantly thinking ‘Thank God I got to know such aspect of him before marrying him,’” she added.

“Sundabang” airs every Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
