In 'Can We Love Now?', Cheon Jeong-myung chose lawyer Lee Yu-jin as his after-date partner and shared his struggles with negative comments.
The tvN Story Channel program 'Can We Love Now?' aired on the 21st.
On this day, he was asked about the reactions from those around him after the blind date. Cheon Jeong-myung said, 'The reactions around me were good,' and the blind date partner laughed, asking, 'Did you see the comments that said we matched well?' indicating that there was considerable actual support. The blind date partner expressed, 'I felt good as if I was being praised,' smiling.
He honestly mentioned that there were also negative perceptions, noting that too much laughter 'looked chaotic.' The blind date partner said, 'If I go out again, I thought I should try to refrain from laughing, but I can’t,' conveying a bright energy with laughter. Regarding this, Cheon Jeong-myung told the production team in an interview, 'I didn’t feel good. I came out courageously, but seeing the negative comments made me feel sorry and upset.'
He carefully asked the blind date partner if she regretted appearing on the show. The blind date partner said, 'I check the updates daily and read the comments,' adding, 'I realized that this (meeting) isn’t easy. I thought that it would be tough if I didn’t have a strong mentality to handle public exposure.'
She noted, 'Most are good, but occasionally there are negative comments, and I thought about gathering them all to file a lawsuit,' mentioning her profession as a lawyer. 'Actually, they weren’t severe comments,' she added. Responding to her story, Cheon Jeong-myung empathized, saying, 'It’s not easy. No matter how much negativity there is, you get numb and don’t pay attention.' He then expressed his gratitude to the blind date partner, who looked on the bright side.
