Neighbor Affair 60 has had a significant impact on the Korean entertainment industry. The show's success has inspired numerous spin-offs, including "Neighbor Affair 70" and "Affair 60: The Reboot". The program's format has also been adopted by other countries, such as China and Japan.
In the literary world, particularly within the booming genres of domestic noir and contemporary suburban fiction, the neighbor affair involving mature protagonists is a staple. Authors leverage the internal monologue available in novels to dissect the immense guilt, nostalgia, and calculation that goes into such betrayals. These books often contrast the serene, well-kept exterior of a retirement community or an affluent suburb with the turbulent, messy psychological warfare occurring behind closed doors.
