Korea’s first-ever lesbian dating reality series, “ToGetHer,” is set to premiere on Wavve later this month, drawing attention as a groundbreaking addition to the country’s entertainment landscape.

The Wavve original “ToGetHer” is a follow-up from the creators of “His Man,” a popular series that spotlighted romance between men. Unlike its predecessor, “ToGetHer” will focus on romantic relationships between women. The show will be exclusively released on Wavve at 11 a.m. on April 25.

“His Man,” which began in 2022 and ran for three seasons, ranked first in driving new paid subscriptions to Wavve. It also made headlines for its cast — non-celebrity contestants who frequently topped popularity indices published by Good Data Corporation during the show’s run. Beyond Korea, the show achieved notable success overseas, topping entertainment categories on platforms such as iQIYI and Rakuten TV.

In response to this enthusiastic reception, the production team behind “His Man” has created “ToGetHer,” marking the first Korean reality show to center on romantic relationships between women. The series is being recognized as a significant step in expanding the representation of LGBTQ+ realities in Korean entertainment through original, diverse content.

A teaser clip released alongside the announcement features silhouettes and voices of the female contestants meeting for the first time in Jeju Island. Their sincere intentions — such as “I want a relationship that could last a lifetime” and “I want a cute, romantic love” — set the emotional tone. Bold confessions like “I could only see her” also hint at the intensity and charm of the romances to come.
