Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon are stepping in as romance counselors for young adults with developmental disabilities.
SBS Special "Monggul", premiering in March, follows these young adults as they experience first love. The program is a new project from PD Go Hye-rin, who received a Baeksang Arts Award for “Special-Hakjeon.”
Married for 14 years, Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon will lead the show as heads of the “Monggul,” serving as dating coaches for the participants (called “Monggul-ssi”). From picking outfits for blind dates to mapping out date courses, the duo will share hard-earned tips to make each Monggul-ssi’s sparkling moments shine even brighter.
Known for her candid, witty talk, Lee Hyo-ri brings that same bold charm to “Monggul.” She eases first-meeting jitters with playful banter and sparks lively conversation with her straightforward style. Expect unfiltered, real-talk dating chats as her chemistry with the Monggul-ssi builds episode by episode.
The show will also reveal Lee Sang-soon’s quietly powerful dating know-how―the kind that won over Lee Hyo-ri. With a thoughtful, calm approach, he empathizes deeply with the stories of sleepless, love-struck youth. He’ll share practical advice, from crafting date itineraries to ways to win someone’s heart, proving to be an all-around MVP.
Most of all, fans can look forward to the real-life chemistry of the 14-year couple. Their natural back-and-forth promises warm laughs at the "Monggul".
This spring, SBS Special Monggul" aims to break stereotypes and deliver both butterflies and healing, with its first broadcast set for March.
