First Korean lesbian dating reality show to stream on Wavve
Following 'His Man,' 'Merry Queer,' all-female dating reality show to air April 25 South Korea's first dating reality show featuring exclusively lesbian participants is set to premiere later this month. Korean streaming platform Wavve announced it will exclusively launch a new reality dating series,'ToGetHer,' on April 25, releasing the show's teaser on YouTube. The teaser has English subtitles for global audiences. 'ToGetHer" follows participants searching for romantic connections through various activities, such as going on dates and writing letters to one another, while living together in a shared house called the ToGetHerHouse on Jeju Island. The new series follows Wavve's gay dating reality show 'His Man.' That series, which centered on gay participants seeking love while cohabiting for eight days, included elements such as daily phone calls for participants to express their feelings and a catfish twist, where a new contestant was introduced midseason to disrupt the group dynamics. 'His Man," the first season of which streamed in 2022, has so far had three seasons. According to Wavve, 'His Man,' the first gay dating reality series in Korea, became its top-performing content in terms of attracting new paid subscribers following the release of its first season. In 2022, Wavve also released 'Merry Queer,' a reality show that depicted romance between diverse couples, including gay, transgender and lesbian pairings. The show highlighted the modern perspectives of the young couples on love and marriage. 'Merry Queer' followed the daily lives of three pairs: gay couple Bo-sung and Min-jun, bisexual and transgender couple Min-ju and Ji-hae and lesbian couple Seung-eun and Ga-ram. Both 'His Man' and 'Merry Queer' have faced backlash. Civic groups, including Healthy Society, gathered outside the Wavve headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, shortly after the first season of "His Man" streamed its last episode, protesting that children were being exposed to such 'harmful' content. Wavve, a joint venture between terrestrial broadcasters KBS, MBC and SBS along with telecom SKT, launched in 2019. yoonseo.3348@
