Jo Hye-ryun & Lee Kyung-sil Get Candid About Relationships on 'Shin Yeoseong', Warning Against 'Unfixable' People

Comediennes Jo Hye-ryun and Lee Kyung-sil have openly discussed the nuances of male-female relationships on their YouTube channel 'Shin Yeoseong'.

In the episode released on the 9th, the duo tackled a listener's dilemma about rekindling a relationship with an ex-girlfriend who habitually sought partners elsewhere. Lee Kyung-sil firmly stated, "Can a dog stop wanting to poop? People don't change. She'll do it again," sharing advice she once gave her daughter-in-law about cherishing existing relationships.

Addressing the possibility of platonic friendships between men and women, both Jo and Lee answered affirmatively. Jo Hye-ryun confidently named Kim Gura and Park Myung-soo as her 'nam-sah-chin' (male friends), but drew a line, specifying that they don't go out for meals alone, drawing laughter with her detailed distinctions: "A poke bowl is fine, but bibimbap for two is not. Though, with makgeolli and scallion pancakes, it's okay."

When a story emerged about a boyfriend confiding everything in a female friend of over ten years, even seeking advice to break up with his current girlfriend, Lee Kyung-sil expressed strong disapproval. "The female friend still likes him and is just being nasty," she asserted, adding, "The man is just clueless, thinking it's a true friendship. The woman should leave the situation and let them date." She concluded with a defiant, "Let's see how well they do."

Beyond these topics, 'Shin Yeoseong' also delved into workplace romances ('office couples') and the complexities of emotional and physical infidelity, offering straightforward discussions on various sensitive aspects of relationships. The content features comedian Lee Sun-min as the MC, representing the younger generation's perspective and resonating with audiences in their 20s and 30s.

Jo Hye-ryun debuted in 1995 and has since become a prominent figure in Korean entertainment, known for her comedic timing and energetic persona. She has appeared in numerous variety shows and popular sitcoms, including the 'High Kick' series. Currently, through her YouTube channel 'Shin Yeoseong' with Lee Kyung-sil, she showcases a more candid side, engaging a younger audience.
