“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 suit could be from the s/o's funeral, but even if it's not, the suit was worn during an important event that played a significant role in his trauma.#HometownChaChaCha

The bloody hand
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

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