MCs Lee Hye-young and Lee Ji-hye of ″Singles 7″ delivered sharp critiques of the contestants during the latest episode of the MBN entertainment program, which aired on the 10th. The episode featured one-on-one dates, with a particular focus on Su-ha’s date with Dong-gun, whom she had chosen based on a strong first impression. However, the date turned out to be awkward, as Dong-gun expressed his worries about meal preparation, leading to a conversation that revolved solely around cooking. Su-ha voiced her disappointment, questioning, ″You’re only thinking about the menu? You’re thinking about the menu more than the date itself.″

From the studio, Lee Ji-hye shared her frustration, asking, ″Why are you bringing this up?″ Dong-gun attempted to steer the conversation by mentioning Su-ha’s passion for cooking, jokingly telling other contestants, ″I told you earlier that Su-ha’s aunt will be cooking today. It’s Su-ha’s aunt’s day.″ This prompted Lee Hye-young to express her discontent with Dong-gun’s insensitivity, urging him to ″stop it.″

Contestant Da-eun Lee also conveyed her discomfort, stating, ″I don’t think I can control my facial expressions.″ The panelists highlighted another issue during Soo-ha and Hyeong-hwa’s date, where Soo-ha remarked, ″You act like you like me, but I thought, ’Do I look interesting?’″ She further questioned, ″Do I look like an interesting source to you? It completely broke my immersion.″

Throughout the date, Hyeong-hwa made several camera-conscious comments, asking Soo-ha, ″Shouldn’t there be a scene (that requires sunglasses)?″ and remarking, ″It’ll be hard to do a second round. The camera wasn’t visible here.″ Soo-ha felt uneasy with these comments and pointed them out. Lee Ji-hye emphasized the importance of sincerity on the show, stating, ″We’re on a show where we’re genuinely looking for love and marriage.″ He added, ″Even as a joke, this kind of expression can disrupt immersion. It really shouldn’t be used.″
