[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Former soccer player and TV personality Ahn Jung-hwan, Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon, and Promise Nine’s Lee Chae-young will serve as hosts for “Contract Marriage,” the new show by “I Am Single” producer Nam Gyu-hong.

On the 8th, the production team of KBS Joy and MBC Every1’s “Contract Marriage” announced that the three will appear as hosts.
“Contract Marriage” is a marriage simulation observational reality show in which men and women who desperately want to get married experience married life in advance through a contract, and in the process, explore the meaning of marriage and the realities of a partnership. The show is generating buzz because Producer Nam Gyu-hong—who produced “Match” and “I’m Single”—is tackling the theme of “marriage.”
Ahn Jung-hwan, who has been active as a TV personality since retiring from soccer, is the “representative of married men with 26 years of marriage experience” who understands the realities of married life better than anyone else. Attention is focused on what kind of practical advice he will offer. Hyoyeon joins the show as the “representative of the unmarried,” with her independent and candid views on relationships, while Lee Chae-young, as the “representative of the MZ generation” with a young generation’s perspective, explores the changing meaning of marriage. Expectations are high to see how the three will work together through “Contract Marriage.”
“Contract Marriage” premieres on Monday, September 28, at 10:30 p.m.
