So the news about Adam Couple leaving the WGM is true. Adam Couple revealed at “Shin Dong, Park Gyu Ri’s Shim Shim Ta Pa” that they were recording WGM for the last time and then they would leave the show. Jo Kwon and Ga In also said that they were sad. Ga In even choked up while singing.

Actually it is not like it has not been predicted, but the thought about Adam Couple leaving the show was never talked about in detail. Even if there was a rumor about it people would think that they would still wait and see until the actual thing happened. Although it feels like fans are still not able to accept the situation, but they just did not want to hurt fans’ feeling in advance.

But if we think about it, recently the Adam Couple were moving towards separation. The concept for the show was weird, they were cast in “All My Love”, and it was Khuntoria Couple who performed a dance at the year-end music festival instead of the proven best couple, Adam Couple, making it seemed like Khuntoria Couple were publicly proclaimed to be the ace for next year.

From this point of view, people are curious about which couple will be Adam Couple’s successor. After Adam Couple left the show there were a lot of talks about other idols joining in. There is a rumor about Lizzy. Considering how Seo Hyun, who came of age last year, was cast, Lizzy has her chance as well. Of course last year there was a rumor about Eun Jung and Nickhun, but seeing how the rumor was proven to be, we cannot say who will join in the show based on rumors.

The seats that Adam Couple leave behind are quite big to fill in, one will have a hard time in those seats if one has no talent. Today, rather than asking “Who will fill in?”, I would like to write about what kind of reformation should be made.

Is there going to be a couple who can take over Adam Couple’s funny image?

Although Adam Couple was romantic, but they were clearly a funny couple. Although it was certain that Jo Kwon was born to be an entertainer, we never thought that Ga In managed to have Jo Kwon under her control. That’s how Adam Couple became a fun and comical couple. Perhaps that was the driving force behind their popularity.

Actually if we watch “We Got Married”, comical couples are more popular than “romantic couples”. The longest-running couple from WGM season 1, the Ant Couple (Seo In Young - Crown J) was actually a comical couple, and Lettuce Couple who also appeared at the same time as the Ant Couple could also be considered a comical couple rather than a romantic couple because of Kim Hyun Joong’s outrageous behavior and Hwang Bo’s cool personalities.

At the recent “We Got Married”, excluding the Adam Couple, there’s no other couple who give any element of comical fun. The serious Seo Hyun does not move near anything comical, Khuntoria has been set to be a “romantic” couple so it is impossible to change that out of a sudden. So we think that perhaps the future couple will work on a comical concept. It will be great if between the two people, one has an outstanding sense of entertainment, and the other one acts cool.

The problem is that Adam Couple’s level of fun has surpassed those of Lettuce Couple and Ant Couple, so they cannot be compared with previous couples. If the future couple on the show work with comical concept, they will be compared to Adam Couple. If we think about that point we may think that perhaps the standards of the Adam Couple is too high. Adam Couple’s positions are not some easy positions.

Will it continue to be idol couples?

The fact that “We Got Married” has become an idol-dominated show could be seen since UEE appeared. To differentiate from real couple, Milk Caramel couple UEE and Park Jae Jung were cast and they started showing a “make-believe marriage”. Some said it was not fun, but UEE Couple was actually quite real and they were sad when they split up.

After that Adam Couple walked in and changed WGM from real dating entertainment show into make-believe dating entertainment show. However Adam couple stirred up one dangerous thought: “Maybe they are indeed dating for real?”

Even though a lot of people were certain that this couple were actually dating, more than other previous couples, this particular couple completely played the push-and-pull game with viewers. Although many said they were dating for real, the Adam Couple teased the viewers by saying, “We will not announce it publicly even if we are dating.”

After this couple left, it is possible that some people think, “Are they going to appoint idols again?” Because it is clear that idols’ management companies have rules that prohibit the idols from dating. A company like JYP did say they allow their artists to date, but how much of it is true?

Besides, for idols who have not even thought of marrying and who are just coming of age, the concept of “We Got Married” actually does not seem right. In all honesty the concept of “We Are Dating” is more suitable.

We will see whether WGM will appoint another idol and make it as an “idol dating” program, or will they boldly choose some casts of marriageable age. I personally think that it is better to choose couples of marriageable age with comical concept rather than idol couples. If those couples are chosen, I think they will seriously think about marriage and the pressure from their companies is less than that of an idol management company.

So it doesn’t matter whether they date for real or not. Although most of the couples from season 1 were not idols, they were undeterred and did not make anything out of it. There were quite a lot of couple who date outside WGM. But come to think of it, the only couple who could date for real was not idols, but the couple of marriageable age, Jun Jin - Lee Si Young.

If idols keep appearing, will people who are already fed up with it be able to watch the show again? Will the show be a little bit more realistic? Will the character of the show itself be more prominent?

Rather than talking about the feelings about Adam Couple leaving the show, I tried thinking about how WGM would change. Adam Couple’s fans are sad that they left the show but I am thankful because I got to see their happy images all these times. I’m curious about who will succeed the best couple in WGM, Adam Couple.
