Mr. Hwang Reveals His Discomfort with Physical Affection on 'I Am SOLO, Love Continues After'

In the latest episode of ENA and SBS Plus's 'I Am SOLO, Love Continues After' (나는 SOLO, 그 후 사랑은 계속된다), Mr. Hwang opened up about his aversion to physical intimacy during a date with contestant 10th Yeongja. He shared that he has been divorced for a year after a ten-year marriage, describing their relationship as merely sharing a home. When Yeongja asked if he married for love, Mr. Hwang recounted how he jokingly proposed during a year-end gathering, leading to a swift engagement six months later. He admitted that their initial compatibility issues stemmed from his severe cleanliness obsession, which caused frequent arguments in the early months of their marriage. Despite having affection for each other, he felt their relationship lacked normalcy, leading to their eventual divorce after ten years. Mr. Hwang also expressed his discomfort with sweat and sticky sensations, likening physical contact to a snake touching his body, which left Yeongja and the panel visibly surprised.
