Kang Ye-bin advises on dating expense settlements and relationship concerns, saying "Honesty is fundamental"

Broadcaster Kang Ye-bin gave direct advice to viewers while reading various dating concern stories received through her YouTube channel.

"Settling 11,700 won is petty" a sharp critique of dating expense conflicts

Among the stories recently received, Kang Ye-bin addressed a man's concern regarding conflict over settling dating expenses. According to the story, the day after his girlfriend treated him to an expensive tuna course meal to celebrate his promotion, the man sent his girlfriend 11,700 won for cafe expenses via the KakaoTalk settlement feature as usual, but was criticized by his girlfriend for being selfish.

Regarding this, Kang Ye-bin evaluated that "sending a KakaoTalk settlement is a 'petty (low-class)' action from the perspective of someone in their late 20s." She suggested that if the girlfriend paid a large amount to celebrate the promotion, it would have been better for the relationship if the man had naturally expressed consideration during the next date by saying, "I ate so well thanks to you, so I'll pay for everything today."

"Relationships that avoid fighting are dangerous" a prescription for couples without conflict

For the concern of a couple whose communication has been cut off because they avoid conflict for fear of hurting each other, she presented 'honesty' as the solution. The storyteller lamented that the relationship feels cold because they do not fight too much with their boyfriend.

Kang Ye-bin analyzed that such a situation might not mean the relationship has cooled down, but rather is a phenomenon that occurs when people try not to make mistakes because they like each other too much. She advised that "you can only know if it has cooled down or not by showing your bottom and settling things," and instead of avoiding conflict, she recommended starting an honest conversation by saying, "I'm scared because we don't fight much. Let's try to adjust to each other even if we fight in the future."

Various concerns followed, such as a woman in her 20s worried about being clumsy with skinship and a story about breaking up after a first relationship. To the storyteller worried about being clumsy with skinship, Kang Ye-bin said, "Being clumsy is appropriate for that age, and that way there are no regrets later." Additionally, to a story about wanting to practice for skilled techniques, she advised, "There are many times when the clumsy moments were much more beautiful."
