MC Subin Relates to Younger Men's Concerns About Financial Disparity in 'Noona Is My Girlfriend'

MC Subin of KBS's dating reality show 'Noona Is My Girlfriend' expressed strong empathy for the younger men's concerns regarding financial differences.

In the episode airing on the 3rd, the younger male participants, Kim Mu-jin, Kim Sang-hyun, Kim Hyun-jun, and Park Sang-won, delve into speculating about the abilities and professions of their older female dates.

Sang-hyun, after a one-on-one date with Park Ye-eun, guessed she might be a violinist or a ballerina, citing her passion for a long-term hobby connected to her profession. Sang-won, who dated Park Ji-won, noted her driving skills and the luxurious car she owns, wondering about her financial capabilities. The younger men contemplated their dates' potential high status and earning power, even joking they might be 'bosses'.

When asked about dating someone who earns significantly more, Sang-won pondered the possibility of being a stay-at-home husband, while Hyun-jun and Sang-won stated a preference for earning more themselves. Sang-hyun admitted, 'I might feel intimidated when leading as a man if the ability gap is too large,' highlighting the anxieties surrounding financial disparities in age-gap relationships.

Hwang Woo-seul-hye deeply understood their sentiments, and MC Subin resonated, saying, 'I would feel intimidated too. The younger men might be early in their careers or job-seeking, and they wouldn't want to rely on their dates for dating expenses.' Jang Woo-young chimed in, agreeing with the younger men's perspective.

With everyone empathizing with the psychological pressure that can arise from financial differences in older woman-younger man relationships, curiosity mounts about how these relationships will unfold.
