Noksal and Chae Jung-an revealed that they have become captivated by the appeal of "dating reality shows" in 'Dating Dormitory School Season 2 - Divorced N Single' (hereinafter 'Divorced N Single').

The production press conference for MBC Every1 and E Channel's variety program 'Divorced N Single' was held on the 3rd at the Sangam Stanford Hotel in Mapo District, Seoul. PD Kim Jae-hoon, actress Chae Jung-an, manga artist and broadcaster Kim Pung, and singer Noksal attended the event.

'Divorced N Single' is a dating reality program where divorced women dreaming of new love and men with no romantic experience at all gather in one place to seek connections.

Season 1, which aired from April to June last year, generated significant buzz by ranking first on Netflix's most-searched chart and first in search issue keywords for the non-drama category.

On this day, Noksal said, "I heard they didn't know Season 1 would be so popular, but I knew it would be. I was enjoying it funnily enough." He added, "I don't usually watch dating reality shows, but my mindset is similar to when Season 1 aired. I'm watching it like a spectator from the perspective of a viewer. My life has been dull lately, so the recording time for 'Divorced N Single' feels like a timely rain."

He continued, "When I saw the participants in Season 2, I thought, 'This is a dating reality show.' Sometimes I wonder, 'How is this person a lifelong single?' In fact, it's the divorced people who seem to be struggling. That was refreshing." He added, "If Season 1 was 'Divorced N George,' I think a real dating program has finally arrived this time."

Chae Jung-an stated, "I didn't really enjoy watching dating reality shows until before becoming an MC for 'Divorced N Single.' When I meet friends around me, they always talk about dating reality shows. I thought, 'They watch them because they can't date themselves,' and felt a sense of distance." She continued, "But once I actually entered the world of dating reality shows, my dopamine flows. I've fallen for the appeal of dating reality shows."

She added, "Kim Pung said he watches a lot of dating reality shows with his wife. I thought they must have a good relationship and share the same hobby, but now I understand that joy." She continued, "Watching the characters and personalities of the participants makes me reflect not just on relationships between men and women, but on human relationships in general, even myself. It's like mirror therapy where I also do some self-reflection. The fact that I'm so deeply immersed leads me to believe viewers will feel the same way."

Meanwhile, 'Divorced N Single' airs its first episode at 10 p.m. on this day.
