On Channel A's 'Heart Pairing,' Woojae and Jeyeon confirmed their differing values regarding 'newlywed homes' and 'dream cars,' revealing cracks in their developing love line.
The 6th episode of Channel A's dating program 'Heart Pairing,' aired on the 18th, revealed the daily lives of the eight residents—Woojae, Jeyeon, Jimin, Jiwon, Chan-hyung, Chang-hwan, Chae-eun, and Haneul—who started their 'second act' in the 'Seoul Pairing House' on the 2nd and 3rd days. Upon returning to Seoul, they began to pursue their individual routines while actively requesting 1:1 dates and conversations with those they were interested in. During the broadcast, a new 'contract dating' rule was also introduced, allowing each participant to choose their top 1 and 2 partners for 'contract dating' over the weekend, with the results showing that Woojae and Jeyeon had moments of hesitation, feeling burdened by their 15-year age gap.
The day after revealing their professions and ages, the residents headed to their workplaces. Woojae suggested carpooling with Jeyeon, who had a similar destination, and promised to drive her home after work. When they met again for dinner, instead of returning directly to the 'Pairing House,' they had a 1:1 date. Although they chatted comfortably about Woojae's art, the conversation about Jeyeon's work occasionally faltered as Woojae showed some reluctance. On their way home, Woojae mentioned, 'Since I moved to Seoul in 2016, I've been living in Haebangchon, which feels like my second hometown. Gangnam is a bit crowded, so I prefer not to go there.' Meanwhile, Jeyeon nodded quietly, having indicated her preference for a 'newlywed home' in Jamsil, which is closer to Gangnam. Later, when Woojae asked Jeyeon about her 'dream car,' he stated his preference for 'living according to the situation,' leading them into an awkward silence as they discovered their differing tastes.
Meanwhile, Jimin, Jiwon, Chan-hyung, Chang-hwan, and Haneul returned one by one to the 'Pairing House' to share a dinner prepared by Chang-hwan. During this time, Jimin naturally turned down Haneul's proposal to pick her up the next day and later realized the 1:1 date Woojae and Jeyeon were having, causing her expression to stiffen. Chang-hwan, who had confirmed the 15-year age gap with Jiwon the previous day, was equally troubled. During dinner, as Chang-hwan intentionally avoided conversation with Jiwon, she too became increasingly quiet. That night, the eight residents went to their respective rooms to send messages to the people they liked. Jiwon sent a text to Chang-hwan, but he messaged Haneul, saying, 'From my perspective, the 15-year age gap is unavoidable.' Additionally, a notice was issued to select two people they wanted to get to know more seriously through 'contract dating.' Woojae mentioned Jeyeon and Jiwon, while Jimin declared, '(With Jeyeon), I know it won't work out, but Jeyeon is my type, and I don't have enough time just to go all in.'
On the third day in the 'Pairing House,' Jeyeon, in charge of dinner, took great care of Chae-eun, who had been isolated due to the flu, and prepared rice cake soup to serve Woojae, Jimin, Chang-hwan, and Haneul. Outside, Jiwon requested a 'pickup' from Chan-hyung for their own 1:1 date, and the two, who had no previous contact in Italy, ended up having a surprisingly comfortable conversation, building new rapport. Meanwhile, at the 'Pairing House,' after the five finished dinner, Jimin was the only one to hear a 'grumbling' sound from Jeyeon's stomach in what became known as the 'grumbling incident.' When Jeyeon moved to a different seat with embarrassment, Jimin approached her playfully, leading to a natural 1:1 conversation. Jimin expressed 'respect' for Jeyeon's dream of becoming a 'lawyer' since middle school, acknowledging that she finds fulfillment in her profession, and shared his honest experience of lacking a dream or goal as he followed a stable path in society, which presented Jeyeon with a different charm. The two then focused entirely on each other as they discussed a drama they both watched, 'Sunjae Upside Down,' and their shared sentiments about pure devotion.
As night fell, the eight residents busily sought to appeal to those they wanted to engage in 'contract dating.' Woojae visited Jeyeon's room, inquiring about her day before inviting her, 'I think the exhibition will soon be scheduled, so you must come.' However, he didn't mention anything about 'contract dating.' Shortly after, Jimin also went to Jeyeon's room and asked, 'Am I one of those considering 'contract dating'?' After affirmatively responding, he confessed, 'If so, let's do 'contract dating' together,' eliciting a bright smile from Jeyeon.
In the evolving love triangle solidifying around 'Woojae and Jeyeon,' Jimin took a step closer to Jeyeon's heart, enhancing the possibility of 'Jimin and Jeyeon.' The day's analysis results revealed the men's top 1 and 2 choices for 'contract dating' were Jeyeon-Jiwon (Woojae), Chae-eun-Jeyeon (Chang-hwan), Jiwon-Haneul (Chan-hyung), and Jeyeon-Haneul (Jimin). The women's choices included Chan-hyung-Chang-hwan (Chae-eun), Chan-hyung-Jimin (Haneul), Chan-hyung-Woojae (Jiwon), and Woojae-Jimin (Jeyeon). Additionally, immediately after the results were announced, Yoon Jong-shin noted, 'The 'contract dating' of the eight residents will be matched in the order of the first-come-first-served responses to the proposal texts,' and stated, 'The matching results of your four couples will be revealed in the next broadcast,' creating an exhilarating atmosphere.
During the three days of private SNS communication, the space for 'contract dating' where they could go all in for each other will be featured in the seventh episode of Channel A's 'Heart Pairing,' airing on the 25th (Friday) at 10:50 p.m.
