'Ask the Buddha' addressed the dilemma of a person in a secret romance with the biological older brother of a close friend.
In the the 4th broadcast of the KBS Joy variety program 'Ask the Buddha', a 33-year-old office worker who has been in a secret romance with the biological older brother of a 17-year close friend appeared.
The person shared, "I am in a secret romance with the older brother of my 17-year close friend, and I am at a loss about how to reveal it," adding, "We started dating after confessing our mutual interest while the three of us were meeting together."

However, the person expressed concern about the relationship with the friend after the relationship became known, stating, "My friend is the type who, once she cuts ties, never looks back, and she has strong family bonds, so I worry she might view me negatively."
She also recounted a precarious incident where she was spotted hugging the older brother in a hallway leading to the restroom.
In response, Lee Su-geun said, "This is something that could be fully celebrated, so it is unlikely to lead to a complete break in the friendship." On the other hand, Seo Jang-hoon predicted mixed reactions from those around them, saying, "The older brother might be flustered by hearing this on broadcast, and there could be reactions questioning why you appeared on TV after only two months of dating."
Seo Jang-hoon further advised, "If the reactions from those around you are not positive after the broadcast airs, please think carefully before considering marriage."
