Lee Ho-Seon draws the line over a 60s guest’s 31-year-old DM

"Think of me as a sister" — A 60-year-old woman's unconventional dating story

A woman in her 60s, whose appearance makes it difficult to guess her age, appeared in the studio of SBS Plus's 'Lee Ho-sun's Cider.' Surprising Director Lee Ho-sun and Kim Ji-min with her youthful looks immediately upon her arrival, she revealed a surprising story.

The guest disclosed that she has experience marrying a man 17 years younger in the past and continues to receive persistent advances from men in their 30s and 40s. Stating that receiving business cards on the subway or being proposed meetings through secondhand trading apps is a daily occurrence, she also confessed to recently exchanging DMs (Direct Messages) with a 31-year-old Japanese man via SNS.

The studio atmosphere grew awkward as she mentioned that even after the man told her to "think of her as a sister," she continued the contact and pleaded to keep talking, replying to him for several days. In response, Lee Ho-sun's expression hardened as she asked, "Do you realize what you are saying right now?" before issuing a firm warning: "Stop it."

Voice phishing victims and the limitations of AI counseling

This episode also addressed social issues under the theme of "Endless Suspicion, Hell of Distrust." When a story about a family suffering extreme anxiety due to voice phishing was shared, Lee Ho-sun and Kim Ji-min lamented, saying, "It feels like our own mother's story."

Lee Ho-sun expressed bitterness, noting, "There are so many elderly people around us who suffer damage but cannot speak up about it."

Furthermore, the broadcast touched upon AI counseling, a hot topic in the counseling industry. While acknowledging the high accessibility of AI counseling, Lee Ho-sun emphasized that as a professional counselor, "AI is not the answer to all counseling," highlighting areas that technology cannot replace.

SBS Plus 'Lee Ho-sun's Cider' airs every Saturday at 10:00 AM.
