Nam Gyu-hong, the producer behind “I’m Solo,” is taking a new approach by putting marriage before romance.
His new program, “Contract Marriage,” premieres on the 28th on MBC Every1 and KBS Joy. Rather than focusing on the process of dating, the show places marriage itself at the center.
Men and women who want to marry enter into contracts and experience a husband-and-wife relationship in advance. The observational reality program follows them as they examine what marriage means and test the realities of practical partnership.
