Comedian Choi Hong-rim sparked backlash from the cast with his remarks on marriage.

In the the 6th broadcast of MBN's 'Sokpulisho Dongchimi', the discussion centered on the theme, "Where is the 'yours and mine' culture in a marriage?"

On that day, lawyer Park Ji-hoon stated, "Some couples even sign prenuptial agreements before marriage. It's not just about property; for example, they may also divide household chores. It may not be a major factor, but it is one of the reasons for divorce. Nowadays, the 'yours and mine' culture is definitely established."

Following this, neuroscientist Jang Dong-sun also explained, "The moment love fades, 'we are all different' begins, and the 'yours and mine' mindset takes over. While East Asians tend to emphasize 'us' in front of others, the moment the camera turns off, they split into 'you and me.' As individualism strengthens, the 'yours and mine' mechanism in the brain also becomes more pronounced."

Hearing this, Choi Hong-rim remarked, "Do you know who changed the 'yours and mine' culture? Men haven't changed. Whether in my father's generation or mine, young men haven't changed much. It's the women who have changed."

The production team responded by adding a caption stating, "This is Mr. Choi Hong-rim's personal opinion." Even Shim Jin-hwa offered a sarcastic remark, but Choi Hong-rim continued speaking.

He added, "In the past, our mothers would stay in their husband's home even if their hair turned white from stress. They were solely focused on 'us.' Young women these days, however, seem to think, 'I won't be with this man for the rest of my life,' and act accordingly."

This sparked immediate backlash from the cast in the studio. Shim Jin-hwa pointed out, "Where are you taking sides?" Meanwhile, culinary expert Lee Hye-jeong asked, "Who thinks about divorce while getting married?" Actor Park Jun-gyu also shouted, "Apologize!"
