These 5+ Fan Theories About “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” Will Leave You Questioning Everything You Think You Know Already
본문
Netflix and tvN‘s newest K-Drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha has quickly become a fan favorite. The story focuses on opposites attracting as dentist Yoon Hye-Jin (Shin Min A) and freelance handyman Chief Hong Du Sik (Kim Sun Ho) grow closer over time.
It’s certainly the comfort show of many right now, yet some fan theories have left us wondering if this wholesome show will take a surprisingly dark path with its storyline in the end. Either way, we’re certain that the drama will be healing for everyone.
Here are 5+ fan theories about Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha that will leave you questioning everything you think you know already…
1. Du Sik was married with a child, and he lost them both, likely to a car accident.
We know that Du Sik clearly has suffered trauma, which is why he frequently has horrible nightmares. Throughout his life, he has lost everyone close to him, from his parents to his grandfather.
In episode 6, we see him crying while looking at a photo that shows a man and woman with a baby, but we are not shown the man. Could it be Du Sik?
@jodithxxiiThis is just a theory

Originally, many just assumed the photo was him as a baby with his parents, but with this theory, we’re definitely second-guessing. It is suspicious that the man in the photo was not seen.

Additionally, we suspect that Du Sik, along with his family, was in a car accident. This was how he lost his family and also why he appears to have an injury in this scene from episode 9.
This band-aid is enough reason to make me overthinking till tomorrow

2. Hye Jin was in the same car accident
In episode 7, we find out that Hye Jin has a herniated disk due to a car accident…
ANOTHER HINT FOR HOMCHA THEORIES ABOUT THEIR PAST: Hyejin got into a car accident back in high school. What if Dusik was involved or has some connections with that incident? His reaction… Hmmm. #HometownChaChaCha #HometownChaChaChaEp7 pic.twitter.com/dXw9lzNbnZ

So, it seems very likely it could have been the same car accident which affected both leads badly.
as most seonhohadas know that Dusik was married, thanks to the production crew who posted this photo few months ago, in these two photos Kim Seon Ho with a Lady who is not Minah, so Dusik was married & he is now a widow

3. Du Sik lost more than just family
While it’s a common theory that Du Sik had a family during the five years that he was not in Gongjin, some people remain convinced that he didn’t. One reason is because of his indifferent reaction to a baby photo.
True. Knowing how detailed Seonho’s acting is, I feel like we would’ve seen a flash of pain in his eyes when Gamri and the other halmeonis joked before (about him being able to do everything except find a wife) if the losing wife and child theory was true.#HometownChaChaCha

Still, he could have been hiding the pain as usual. Besides, we know how great he is with kids, so it doesn’t completely rule out the theory.
However, another thing has caused many to believe that, while he did still lose more than just his parents and grandfather, it’s not a wife and kids. In episode 9, Du Sik is seen at a funeral in his flashback, and there’s clearly a picture of a man.
The picture at funeral is a man so dusik being married theory is out
may be ithis best friend's family or something #HometownChaChaCha #HometownChaChaChaEp9 pic.twitter.com/Kv6jFCHueI

So, now fans are theorizing even more. One possibility is that it could be a close friend or coworker who died on the job.
2. With dusik being an engineer, it's possible that his nightmares are related to his job especially with how he chose to live as freelancer upon moving back to Gongjin. There might have been an accident either on site (if he's into construction) or virus #HometownChaChaChaEp6

4. But, what would his work experience have something to do with him not opening up to people around him? I guess, it's the responsibility of being too personal that burdens him. like, when people entrust him with their lives, that's what he cannot take#HometownChaChaChaEp6

4. Du Sik and Hye Jin knew each other before
We know that the two leads met a very long time ago as little kids when Hye Jin’s family visited Gongjin. In the latest episode, even Du Sik realized upon seeing the childhood photo that he had seen her before.
Now, there is reason to believe they had met once again before. In episode 7, we find out that the “Superman” effect of wearing glasses totally works on Du Sik as he cannot recognize the writer, Wang Ji Won. Hye Jin used to wear glasses a long time ago, but now doesn’t, so he might have met her before but couldn’t recognize her.
Du Sik also knows a lot about alcohol. He can even make it! So, an additional part of the theory is that Du Sik worked at the bar that Hye Jin went to when she came across her ex-boyfriend badmouthing her.
In episode 10, Du Sik reveals that Hye Jin is the second person he could open up to, causing both her and viewers to wonder who the first is. So, some wonder if Hye Jin was actually both the first and second person he could open up to.
i have a theory that the first person dusik told about his story is the teenager hyejin. basically, she's the first and second person dusik found comfort to open up like that. thank you for coming to my ted talk.#HometownChaChaCha #HometownChaChaChaEp10 pic.twitter.com/flZ0A6Wg2V

It could also be less deep than we imagine it to be. The first person could actually just be his therapist/psychiatrist.
5. Du Sik or Officer Kang Hyoung Sukwon the lottery
In episode 7, we find out that a Gongjin won the lottery three years ago, yet no one in the town knows who it is. So, naturally, we all start wondering who it is…
@eriramsI can’t be the only one who thought about this
#hometownchachacha #kdrama #shinminah #fyp
It seems very likely it might be none other than Du Sik himself. This is why he is able to not only freelance but get paid minimum wage. How else can someone not only survive off of that but still have a nice home, not to mention a helicopter or boat?
@sighyuniIt’s either him or the police officer
#hometownchachacha #shinminah #kimseonho #yoonhyejin #hongdushik #hometownchachachaep9 #kdrama #koreandrama
Another strong possibility could be that it is Officer Kang Hyoung Sukwon, and that’s why he didn’t care to accept Pyo Mi Seon’s lottery ticket at first.
6. Yeo Hwa Jung and Yu Cho Hui are love interests
We recently found out that no one but Yeo Hwa Jung knows the real reason why she and Chang Yeong Guk got divorced. Now that there’s a love triangle in the picture, it has us all wondering if perhaps part of the reason is that someone had harboring feelings for their old friend Cho Hui, and no, we are not talking about Yeong Guk.
@asherehenAKO SINASABI KO SA INYO
It definitely seemed like Cho Hui possibly had feelings for Hwa Jung, but it seems like Hwa Jung might feel the same way. That would explain why upset she was about her ex-husband pursuing Hwa Jung. It’s not because she still has feelings for him, but rather, she still has feelings for Hwa Jung herself.
She has been very secretive about why she got a divorce, and the Gongjin residents have said that she was a “tomboy.”
so what if………….hwajeong actually likes cho hui bc she was acting mad sus the past few eps. and we both know she cared about cho hui back in the day. she cant be srsly head over heels for a MAN, especially yeongguk like there is NO way. girl u deserve better
