So there's this new dating show coming out on YouTube called "Gyo-hoe-ting" (basically Church-ting) and the biggest surprise is that Nam Yujeong from Brave Girls (well, BB Girls now I guess?) is actually one of the main hosts. It's honestly kind of a weird pivot but also super interesting because she's co-hosting with comedian Kim Giri.
The article says she’s calling herself a "prodigal daughter" which is a pretty bold way to introduce yourself on a religious show lol. She's supposed to be there to give advice and comfort to other young Christians who might feel a bit lost or disconnected from the church, which is actually kind of sweet if you think about it.
It's basically a Christian version of those college blind date shows but with a "faith guarantee" vibe. Yujeong isn't just standing there reading a script either, she’s acting as a "Cupid" where she watches the dates happen in real-time and cheers them on.
The producers are saying they want to show a more "wholesome" or "mild" version of dating shows compared to all the crazy drama you see on stuff like Transit Love. I’m curious to see if her fans will tune in just for her even if they aren't religious, because seeing an idol talk about her own faith and dating views so openly is pretty rare.
