Kim Kyu-ri, who appeared as the third matchmaker for comedian Joo Byeong-jin on 'Can We Love Now?', has been embroiled in controversy over allegations that she participated for promotional purposes.
On the broadcast of tvN STORY's 'Can We Love Now?' on the 25th, Joo Byeong-jin's golf date with his third matchmaker was revealed.
On that day, Joo Byeong-jin asked, "Are you in your 30s?" upon seeing the surprisingly young-looking matchmaker Kim Kyu-ri. To this, Kim Kyu-ri replied, "I have a 5 in front. I'm not in my 30s; I'm 54 years old Kim Kyu-ri. I work in the seafood industry as an individual."
The two shared a conversation while enjoying their common hobby of golf, and Joo Byeong-jin expressed his fondness in an interview, saying, "Maybe because her appearance is so outstanding, I had a bit of trouble hitting the ball. Other than that, it was 1000% good."
However, after the broadcast, some netizens pointed out that Kim Kyu-ri is the same person who appeared on Channel A's 'Body God' in 2022 and has a large following, raising suspicions that she came on the show for promotional purposes.
Additionally, netizens have criticized Kim Kyu-ri as a 'less genuine match' by mentioning that she has adult children.
