What’s the problem

 

An extremely steamy scene that appears near the intro of 【Love Code】 Episode 5.

 

As soon as we saw that scene.

 

– What the?

 

– Are they crazy

 

– Is this level even possible on broadcast? This level?

 

– When you watch overseas romance shows, they just straight up give off vibes like they did it and came out

 

– There are cases where they blatantly make out, so Korea isn’t really that spicy to watch

 

– How does Namgung hyung know about that

 

Thanks to the power of Netflix, which was already broadcasting simultaneously worldwide.

 

Interest in 【Love Code】 was rising.

 

I felt that my stock value was rising in real time.

 

In fact, when I took 【Love Code】 related shorts and uploaded them to YouTube.

 

Damn, that’s a real alpha male

 

Where did this kid come from?

 

ㄴ It didn’t come from anywhere specific, but it was being broadcast from the garden

 

What the heck

 

What the heeeeeeell!!!

 

But seriously, was there ever a character in a dating sim who ate boiled pork this well?

 

ㄴ They even make it themselves to eat

 

ㄴ While everyone else is in a romantic mood, I’m alone commanding the kitchen making dinner

 

ㄴ This is a case that makes the face value really unique

 

The reactions came immediately.

 

Mung-tube Love Code reactions easily surpassed 1 million views.

 

The initial increase in overseas subscribers and algorithm acquisition from leftover mukbang.

 

And through this, first gaining recognition, then second appearing on a Netflix dating show to definitively blow up my recognition.

 

Subscribers rapidly increasing and views exploding was nothing at all.

 

What was fortunate was.

 

‘Good thing I made a separate channel.’

 

I had started managing reaction videos by creating a separate daily life channel.

 

Since Netflix was definitely an OTT service that spread worldwide.

 

On the main channel, Mung-tube, I remember it took a few months to gather 100,000 subscribers.

 

‘The reaction videos… hit 1 million as soon as I uploaded episode 1, and already have 70,000 subscribers.’

 

A channel that uploads daily videos outside of gaming was already trying to catch up to the main channel.

 

It was really incredibly cheeky.

 

Like in a harem story when a suddenly appearing fourth heroine’s popularity rises uncontrollably.

 

Immediately threatening the position of the main wife, and actually growing a large fandom too, creating a bewildering phenomenon.

 

‘Even in a harem, there’s still clearly a main wife, a main wife…’

 

Muttering that to myself internally.

 

– Ex

 

– plain

 

– Ex

 

– Hidden

 

– agenda

 

– agenda

 

– plain

 

– Ex

 

– plain

 

I looked at the blazing Chat Room.

 

I always set it to subscribers-only mode when doing Love Code watch parties.

 

Despite that, the current viewer count was.

 

[ Current viewer count: 4,100 ]

 

It had increased much more than last time.

 

It’s already surprising to have four-digit viewers in subscribers-only mode.

 

And for the first digit to be 4 in that state.

 

“I said there’s no hidden agenda… Look, if I ever date someone, I’ll definitely announce it, I swear. If I break that promise? If I break it… I’ll seriously accept some ridiculously harsh penalty.”

 

I tried to calm down the Chat Room first.

 

“And it’s only been 5 seconds since I started episode 5, what do you want me to explain already? The Video will explain everything.”

 

I immediately played Love Code episode 5.

 

++++++

 

Love Code episode 5.

 

As if to match the intense intro, the opening seemed quite intense as well.

 

“Mungi? You’re Mungi, right?”

 

The screen continued with the Woman Catfish immediately recognizing the male Catfish.

 

And at that moment, tickling BGM played underneath.

 

“…Yoo Na-kyung?”

 

“That’s right! Wow, our connection continues like this again?”

 

The two who clearly knew each other.

 

“What? You two already know each other?”

 

“How is this possible? This is staged, right? No way this is really a coincidence?”

 

The other members were just confused by this situation and kept pouring out questions.

 

And the one mediating this was.

 

“Ah, wait… we met at some Party. If you want to know more details about this, you can check out the Mung-tube going to Party episode…”

 

It was Mungi.

 

“Wait, did he just… promote his YouTube channel?”

 

“In that situation? But Mungi doesn’t have any of that stuff – no hiding or secretly connecting things… He just opens up cleanly without any of that.”

 

“Thanks to that, there’s no misunderstanding. Since he opens up so refreshingly, we just think ‘ah, they know each other from meeting at a Party?’ and that’s it. Nothing to think deeply about.”

 

“Right, and besides, Mungi had the face of someone who remembered really late anyway.”

 

“But Na-kyung is such a famous person that I was flustered, she’s an influencer.”

 

“The person next to her is also really pretty, but since they turned out to know each other, the whole atmosphere just died.”

 

The panelists watched this scene and each made their own comments.

 

Afterwards, to make up for the time lost from arriving late, the female catfish began having 1:1 conversations with each of the existing male cast members.

 

“But this means there’s one more woman now, right?”

 

“Right, five women and… four men, wow so that means one person will be left out in the end?”

 

“That’s also assuming everyone gets matched 1:1, if not, several people could be left out.”

 

“Crazy, this is crazy. During the final selection then, wow… I might not be able to watch because my heart will be pounding too much.”

 

Watching that conversation, the panelists continued to react.

 

When all the conversations were roughly finished, the male and female cast members came out of the building to head to their accommodation.

 

And here, the ruthlessness of the 【Love Code】 production team was revealed.

 

“What, what’s this? Are they crazy?”

 

“There are three cars… they want us to split up and ride two per car?”

 

“Wait, wait! Then what?”

 

Three vehicles, six people.

 

If two people ride per car, the number of vehicles works out perfectly.

 

But since the gender ratio was 4:2, two men would inevitably not be able to ride with women.

 

So how would those two men be chosen?

 

The power to make that choice was held by.

 

“…Then I’ll ride with Yoo Hyeon-jun.”

 

The female cast members who participated as catfish.

 

Seo Ji-an chose Yoo Hyeon-jun and the two immediately got into a vehicle.

 

Yoo Na-kyung also.

 

“Mungi, could I ask you to drive?”

 

“…Let’s go.”

 

Chose Mungi and got into a vehicle.

 

And right here, another twist occurred.

 

While the vehicle with the two men headed to the accommodation.

 

The vehicles with women had their navigation set to completely different places, not the accommodation.

 

“…Wow, so they’re making them go on dates right away.”

 

“If I knew we’d be going on a date right away, I would have been more careful choosing my clothes.”

 

“You look fine now though?”

 

“Then that’s a relief.”

 

Unlike the fresh-feeling Yoo Hyeon-jun x Seo Ji-an combination.

 

“But I always thought someone like Mungi would appear on a show like this someday, how could the world leave you alone?”

 

“…I thought the same thing about you, Na-kyung.”

 

“Come to think of it, they said we can reveal our jobs and ages during dates, so we can speak casually now, right?”

 

“But I don’t actually know what your job is, Na-kyung?”

 

“Model, I’m a model! Wait, after meeting like that, you didn’t properly look me up?”

 

“…? No, that’s right.”

 

Was it because the Mungi x Yoo Na-kyung combination proceeded with their date having some familiarity with each other?

 

The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable, giving off the feeling of a long-term couple.

 

So much so that.

 

“Isn’t it ecosystem destruction when catfish meet each other like this?”

 

“No, maybe this really is… what’s a good way to put it? Soulmates? Something like that?”

 

“But both of them are really strong, their characters are too powerful.”

 

“But when Yoo Na-kyung laughs like that, wouldn’t most men usually get all giddy? I think I would, but Mungi is really completely focused on driving.”

 

“He’s really the type of man you’d want to hug, that kind of man…”

 

Even the panelists were reacting as if formidable opponents had met.

 

Moreover, most of the screen that the panelists were watching showed the Mungi x Yoo Na-kyung combination.

 

Those two showed a series of incredibly intense dates.

 

Just playing at the outdoor spa alone.

 

Splash splash.

 

“Mungi oppa! Your body is really wow… Are you an athlete? Why are your muscles so angry?”

 

“No, um… You’re touching my forearm too much so it feels strange. It’s not just touching but that… squish squish feeling…”

 

“I’ve watched Mungi’s broadcast a bit, don’t people usually add ‘mung’ to everything? So what would this be? Mungsquish?”

 

“You really watched my broadcast?”

 

“Why would I lie to oppa?”

 

Starting from playing while narrowing the distance to almost completely pressed against each other.

 

After eating like that for a while, when they were lying on each other’s beds.

 

“Mungi, but why don’t you drop the formal speech? I’m younger?”

 

“I’ll drop it gradually, gradually… No, but actually since you’re someone I met outside, it’s not easy to drop it…”

 

“Then how about this?”

 

Yoo Na-kyung even blatantly climbed on top of Mungi’s body.

 

And then the scene from the intro followed.

 

“Get down?”

 

“Because I’m heavy?”

 

Inside the dark room.

 

A man lying on a white bed and a woman mounted on top of that man.

 

The woman with pure white and pink hair looks down at the man and smiles brightly.

 

“You look really ugly from this angle.”

 

“Liar.”

 

Right after those words, Yoo Na-kyung gets down from Mungi’s body.

 

With an expression that couldn’t even imagine her actions were destroying someone’s bear doll.

 

“Accommodation life is going to be really fun from now on, right oppa.”

 

She looked at Mungi with a really bright smile.

 

At that moment when her face reflected in the mood light was shining so beautifully.

 

“Wow…”

 

“Na-kyung, but you’re really, really, really pretty.”

 

“She’s not famous for nothing… not for nothing, she’s just beautiful at any moment.”

 

The panelists were impressed.

 

“I was always fun.”

 

Mungi received those words indifferently.

 

And at the same time.

 

“Ah… you were a cheerleader?”

 

“Yes, Hyeon-jun oppa… you were a chef?”

 

Yoo Hyeon-jun x Seo Ji-an’s date was really fresh and innocent, giving off the feeling of two people who really liked each other enjoying time alone together.

 

The combination of chef and cheerleader was complete, so the panelists each gave their reactions.

 

The screen finally shows the two men who weren’t chosen returning to the accommodation.

 

“What? Four of you went out but only two came back?”

 

“What did you do?”

 

The women questioned why four went but only two returned.

 

“What about Mungi and Hyeon-jun?”

 

“They’re on dates and will come back tomorrow, since new women came.”

 

The men immediately resolved their questions.

 

“Ah, so… two more women came.”

 

With Hwang Da-jeong’s brief situation summary.

 

A sudden, meaningless silence falls over the accommodation.

 

Then Kim A-young was the one who broke the tense atmosphere.

 

“Wait, so all the men ate and came back? We waited here not knowing anything?”

 

As soon as those words fell, everyone from Hwang Da-jeong to Shin So-rim chimed in.

 

“Right… wait, so you met women and just ate everything up? I feel betrayed.”

 

“Anyway, only us hungry ones lost out.”

 

The atmosphere instantly lightened.

 

The men followed the women, briefly apologized, and prepared meals together.

 

The next day at lunch.

 

“Hello! I’m Yoo Na-kyung!”

 

“Hello. I’m Seo Ji-an.”

 

With the two new female catfish introducing themselves.

 

“Now, is it time to check the love lines?”

 

“Who will send interest messages to whom, how will it turn out?”

 

Only the final moment of choice remained.

 

“But you know, even without going on dates or going to hotels… you can still become a match or feel attraction.”

 

“Right, so just talking like that at the accommodation is also really important for showing charm.”

 

“So I’m not sure. Honestly, So-rim and Na-kyung went on dates with Mungi, so they’ll probably choose Mungi.”

 

“A-young and Da-jeong, right? I’m not sure. Ji-an went on a date with Hyeon-jun, so those two will probably become a match.”

 

Who would choose whom, and whose heart had changed.

 

The panelists briefly shared various opinions for the viewers’ immersion.

 

Finally, the moment when the love lines chosen by the cast members were revealed.

 

“…Huh?”

 

“Wow.”

 

“Huh.”

 

The panelists were left speechless with their mouths agape.

 

In episode 5 of 【Love Code】, all the female contestants’ love lines were.

 

“Does this even make sense? Wasn’t it rigged?”

 

“Wow… No, is it because he’s a man who makes you wait?”

 

“But to begin with, since Mungi wasn’t at the accommodation, it did feel like there was less energy.”

 

Pointing to Mungi.

 

So then, who would Mungi choose here?

 

Who does Mungi’s arrow point to?

 

At the end of that choice.

 

“But this was obvious.”

 

“Honestly, it would be strange if he didn’t choose her.”

 

“This is the perfect match.”

 

As if it was too natural to choose the person he went on a date with today, the arrow was pointing toward Yoo Na-kyung.

 

Episode 5 of 【Love Code】 came to an end after showing the results of the remaining male contestants as well.

 

+++++

 

Since episodes 5 and 6 were released consecutively, I immediately clicked on the next episode without delay.

 

Episode 6 of 【Love Code】 started playing right away.

 

“This is crazy, what would it feel like to see him in person.”

 

“No, what kind of charm does he have? She couldn’t go on a date with this man… and even while talking to someone else at the accommodation, she chose Mungi who was on a date? What kind of charm does he really have.”

 

“Maybe there’s something deeper than what we see on screen… Honestly, I don’t know either, this is my first time seeing a man like this.”

 

Two couples who went on dates and joined the accommodation in the afternoon.

 

The female contestants who felt slightly flustered by the sudden appearance of two new female catfish, and.

 

Starting with Mungi who still looked like he had no thoughts on his mind.

 

“Huh?”

 

“Everyone’s changing clothes?”

 

“No, they’re not changing, they’re taking them off…? This isn’t the accommodation.”

 

“Isn’t this a gym? It’s pretty big?”

 

“There’s a wrestling ring in the middle? What are they trying to do? Korean wrestling? Suddenly?”

 

The screen suddenly switched to show the men taking off their shirts and warming up.

 

And then, as if on cue, an announcement began broadcasting throughout the indoor gymnasium.

 

“We will now begin the men’s Korean wrestling competition to earn the right to choose a date. Please come up to the wrestling ring in bracket order.”

 

The date selection right given only to first place.

 

The heated sight of men fiercely clashing bodies to go on a date!

 

Since this was one of the parts that could best showcase masculinity.

 

The camera was also directed to highlight the men’s physiques.

 

And the one who stood out the most there was, as if it were too obvious.

 

“Wow, Mungi is really just…”

 

It was Mungi.

 

“Honestly, it just feels like he’ll obviously come in first, right?”

 

“Saying things like ‘you never know what might happen’ feels a bit awkward too… I just don’t know who Mungi will choose.”

 

“I think he’ll go with Sorim or Nakyung again?”

 

The panelists guessed he would come in first the moment they saw Mungi take off his clothes and warm up.

 

And indeed, as soon as Mungi started Korean Wrestling.

 

Thud.

 

“Wh, whoaaaaa…”

 

“Cr, crazy…”

 

“Ahhh… Mungi oppa is insane, really.”

 

No matter who his opponent was, he just grabbed their Wrestling Belt and lifted their body into the air.

 

Like easily pulling out a radish, as soon as the thud sound came, the person was lifted up.

 

The moment he slightly tilted his body, his opponent fell helplessly.

 

Overwhelming Physical Skills.

 

A monstrous strength descended that made the other men’s Korean Wrestling look pathetic.

 

But regardless of that destructive power, since they had to show the rest of the process too.

 

Love Code episode 6 ended up having the men’s game take up about 1/4 of the runtime.

 

Anyway, the winner of Korean Wrestling was decided to be Mungi.

 

“Wahoo!”

 

Mungi’s brightly smiling face fills the screen.

 

“Now that I see it, I can tell right away that Mungi wasn’t trying hard because he wanted to date someone specific.”

 

“Ah, so I wasn’t the only one who felt that.”

 

“Right? Of course?”

 

“He just… he just seems like he wanted to win? With the mindset that games are fun when you win… because losing just isn’t fun.”

 

“Usually when men win games like this, they look at the woman they want to go with, but Mungi just seems genuinely happy about coming in first.”

 

“At times like this he’s so pure again, I really can’t figure out his character.”

 

The panelists thought his character was unpredictable as they watched.

 

The Production Team must have felt the same way, as Mungi’s interview screen appears right away.

 

「 When you came in first, was the reason you were happy because you had a date partner in mind? 」

 

The question appears as subtitles.

 

“Ah… I hadn’t thought that far ahead. When they said Korean Wrestling, I just wanted to try coming in first… There’s that competitive psychology that kicks in between men in competitions like this, and when you win there… it feels good, so, yes.”

 

The panelists burst out laughing at Mungi’s following response.

 

“This person is really just too, hahaha, haha… isn’t he too pure?”

 

“But wow, that makes me even more curious. Who he’s going to date.”

 

After the panelists’ conversation, the screen switches back to the Korean Wrestling scene.

 

Mungi, who obtained the Date Selection Right, originally this date choice was supposed to be announced with a bit of suspense.

 

But contrary to the Production Team’s plan.

 

“Ayoung, let’s go on a date”

 

Mungi makes eye contact with Kim A-young as soon as he comes down from the Wrestling Ring and asks her on a date.

 

Actually, it wasn’t even a request. The Date Selection Right confirmed the date the moment he pointed.

 

“A-young? You’re choosing A-young?”

 

“Huh? Really? Why so suddenly?”

 

“Well, there wasn’t much connection between them… Could it be that bright smile that moved his heart?”

 

But perhaps it was too sudden of a choice.

 

The panelists couldn’t even guess the reason.

 

The screen switches back to Mungi’s interview.

 

And in that interview content.

 

“Ah, a 3-week retreat… then, hmm, I’ll be able to date all the women, right?”

 

His plan to meet with every woman at least once.

 

Mungi’s statement comes out, not even considering situations where he might not be able to date.

 

“So right now… he openly said he wants to meet all 5 women? All of them?”

 

“Wow… that’s even more shocking because he went on dates with So-rim and Na-kyung, right? Normally a person would develop feelings and want to go again or something.”

 

“He just immediately goes to another woman…”

 

“Usually in this situation, the people you previously dated would lose some interest, right? But look at So-rim and Na-kyung’s expressions.”

 

When Mungi chose Kim A-young with his Date Selection Right.

 

Shin So-rim and Yoo Na-kyung’s gazes can be seen fixed on Mungi.

 

Expressions of genuine interest.

 

Faces showing they have no intention of giving up.

 

Love Code Episode 6, with still 6 episodes remaining until the finale.

 

With the feeling that the romance show will proceed centered around Mungi who has already created a love triangle.

 

Love Code Episode 6 ends with the scene of Mungi and Kim A-young going out on a date alone.

 

And in the brief Episode 7 preview that appears, a blurred woman was crying.

 

Looking at such a woman.

 

“Sigh… Why do women’s tears always come at times like this?”

 

With the mysterious statement from a blurred man.

 

The subtitle ‘To be continued next week’ appears and the screen goes dark.

 

++++++++

 

– You crazy bastard

 

– Don’t tell me, that’s not you, right?

 

– Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?

 

The last part, the Episode 7 preview section.

 

‘I can’t believe they actually used that as is.’

 

I was honestly flustered.

 

I knew broadcasting people were scary, but I never imagined they’d use a scene like that as is.

 

‘Well, things will work out somehow.’

 

While the Chat Room continues to pour out messages like crazy.

 

“Then please wait until next week, anyway episodes 7 and 8 will be released simultaneously… honestly, you can all wait, right?”

 

– Stop talking nonsense

 

– Bullshit gets Mung Kiss *3*

 

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

 

– Deep Mung “3”~

 

I quickly prepared for Stream Ending.

 

But on the other hand, there was a part of me that felt wronged.

 

A woman crying?

 

‘I’m the person who makes that stop.’

 

I just performed my role 100%, so what’s the problem.
