Huh? Arranged marriage stuff aside - and this seems to be a more common thing in Japanese fiction than South Korean anyway - during the early dating phase that this work depicts no exclusive commitment is stated or implied. The only reason why the guys aren't depicted as dating multiple women - which IRL the charismatic aspiring singer absolutely would be, and even the "stable and unremarkable" guy or would have several options from among family/coworkers/friends trying to pawn "ladies who need a husband" off on him is because it is from the female POV. Yes, despite how ANN loves to bring the hammer down everything that has the slightest hint of being a (straight) male fantasy - including stuff that actually isn't like this season's Catch Me At The Ball Park but the spring previewers roasted it as one anyway - ladies works do have plenty of their own, such as this one depicting an aspiring K-pop singer actually being willing to give a merely above average looking office lady pushing mid-30s the time of day, which is, er, "rather unlikely" IRL.
