“Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha”: Wild Theories About Hong Du-Sik’s Backstory

“Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” (갯마을 차차차) is currently the topic on K-drama fans’ lips as we delve deeper into the characters living at the seaside village of Gongjin. As it turns out, our favourite couple Yoon Hye-Jin (played by Shih Min Ah) and Hong Du-Sik (played by Kim Seon Ho) have gone through traumatic experiences in the past.

In episode 5 and 6, we see the busybody folks of Gongjin gossiping about Du-Sik’s past. What actually happened during the mysterious 5 years when he was away? We know this much – that it changed his perspective on his outlook of happiness and life as a whole.

There are not much answers yet, but that hasn’t stop viewers from coming up with their own speculations. Here are some interesting ones we found:

He had a wife and child? 

I think it's his wife and child. In that five years, he had a family but couldn't save them. So he felt guilty and comeback to Gongjin to somehow pay for his sin. pic.twitter.com/nYYuSD2Obq

Gamri joked in #HometownChaChaChaEp2 that Dusik is able to do everything except find himself a wife – and she’s the only person who knows what happened to him…so that debunks the dead wife and child theory.#HometownChaChaChaEp6 #HometownChaChaCha #갯마을차차차 pic.twitter.com/z5oMNukocH

Is that why he’s been reluctant to date anyone since?

He also refuses to keep anything alive as a pet (e.g.: Bora’s hedgehog)

This further supports the notion that he feels responsible for someone’s death as it still haunts him to this day.

Another hint was his trip to the psychiatric clinic & need for prescribed medications

The bloody hand

This Twitter user pointed out some notable facts about Du-Sik:

  • He’s always been acting in service of others
  • Majored in engineering (We’re not sure if this high paying job has any significance down the road)
  • Gets uncomfortable with human contact

It’ll be interesting to see if any of these theories stick as we look forward to new episodes every weekend.

Update (4th October):

Du-Sik going on a healing journey.

Update (11th October):

Another interesting theory of Du-Sik’s former job where a confrontation took place, followed by an accident that resulted in his colleague’s death. Who knew that Doha would be connected to Du-Sik’s past through his father?

Can’t believe that we’re almost at the finale already 🙁

Bonus:

This isn’t a theory but it’s amazing that someone actually went and researched Hong Du-Sik’s booklist. Take a look:

“I want the flower and fruit of a man; that some fragrance be wafted over from him to me, and some ripeness flavor our intercourse. His goodness must not be a partial and transitory act, but a constant superfluity, which costs him nothing and of which he is unconscious.” pic.twitter.com/AdUWfRTnCf

One of the poems ‘Kiss’ <키스> was featured in episode 6.

“A first kiss tastes like mud, sunlight, and roses.” pic.twitter.com/U48dRmGLa1

3. 'What Men Live By and Other Tales' by Leo Tolstoy

Written in 1885, the book comprises of four short stories: What Men Live by, Three Questions, The Coffee-House of Surat, and How Much Land Does a Man Need?. The book appeared briefly in episode 6. pic.twitter.com/nG4uF6IuRy
