Through the last date held at an amusement park in the middle of the night, Jimin and Jeyeon from Channel A's 'Heartpairing' perfectly concluded their romance, completing the narrative of 'relationship environmental connections' spanning from Italy to Seoul.
In episode 15 of the dating program 'Heartpairing' broadcasted on the 20th, a scene was revealed where the 10 residents of 'Seoul Pairing House' conducted their final '1-night 2-day home date', getting closer to the 'final selection'. Only the couples who chose each other were able to go to their own home for the date, leading to the pairings of Woo-jae and Ji-won, Jimin and Jeyeon, and Chan-hyung and Chae-eun, who gained further 'confidence' in each other. Meanwhile, Sang-yun, Sua, Ha-neul, and Chang-hwan, who failed to match, remained in the 'Pairing House', deepening the complexity of their time together. Especially, after the 'first contract relationship', Jimin and Jeyeon, who reunited for a 'Christmas date', revealed their love during this '1-night 2-day home date', eliciting explosive reactions from viewers who had supported 'Jijeon' all along.
Woo-jae and Ji-won, who had been dating as the 'confident couple', returned from grocery shopping, and Woo-jae quickly prepared a warm dinner by making rice cake soup. After savoring Woo-jae's dinner table, Ji-won boldly confessed, 'If I live with you, I'll eat well and live well; maybe that's why people get married.' Woo-jae also noted, 'Let’s create a good ending even after the final selection,' envisioning a 'future' together. After finishing their meal, the two moved to a different spot and talked about their dreams of 'newlywed appliances'. After washing up alternately, they lay on the bed prepared in one room, with Woo-jae unable to take his eyes off Ji-won's bare, innocent face, showing yet another sign of falling for her.
After chatting softly until the late dawn, the two shared the remark, 'I think our parents would like this' before drifting to sleep. The next morning, Ji-won, while having a simple breakfast, suggested, 'Let’s capture this moment with a film camera,' and began taking photos. At that moment, when Ji-won suddenly linked arms with Woo-jae for a photo, the next shot showed Woo-jae striking a pose with a 'strong arm link', intensifying the thrill. The 5 MCs watching their video noted, 'There’s a solid affection between the two', 'They definitely give off newlywed vibes.'
The morning after, Chan-hyung appeared before Chae-eun, who had been thrown into confusion by Sang-yun's 'surprise confession' the previous night. Chan-hyung expressed double joy by saying, 'I thought we wouldn't be able to date because of last night's incident,' and Chae-eun revealed, 'Even if you hadn't come after Sang-yun left, I would have chosen you,' showing her 'loyal heart'. Upon arriving at their home, Chan-hyung demonstrated his thoughtfulness by pulling out the cups and socks they exchanged as 'gifts' during their date in Florence, and even made seafood pancakes for Chae-eun. After tasting Chan-hyung's pancake, Chae-eun cheerfully reacted with an 'epic reaction', then applied a 'face mask' for Chan-hyung, allowing him a chance to sleep early before he had to go to work the next day.
The next early morning, Chan-hyung returned just as Chae-eun was waking up, and while Chan-hyung took a moment to nap, Chae-eun prepared lunch with shrimp tempura and buckwheat noodles with perilla oil. While enjoying ice cream for dessert, the two talked about 'eye color', gazing intensely at each other, and after brushing their teeth together like any couple, they took a 'couple selfie'. When they left home, they continued their aquarium date, capturing fun moments on camera. The 5 MCs remarked on the '1-night 2-day' of 'Chan and Chae-eun', who provided 'unwavering comfort', noting, 'They’re responsible for the stability of the Pairing House, so there seems to be little chance of any surprises before the final selection.'
When Jimin faced Jeyeon during their '1-night 2-day home date', he wore a happier smile than usual. The two wore outfits they liked most during their Florence date, and Jeyeon, who was 'not familiar with fashion', boldly declared to Jimin, 'I will make you a meal,' and awkwardly prepared 'bulgogi', sparking Jimin's 'storm of eating'. During their cozy dinner, Jeyeon expressed to Jimin, 'I felt sure when you came to me the wrong way just before the Christmas Eve date,' directly sharing her feelings, and revealed her 'favorite photo' from her photo album, showing intimacy. As the night deepened, Jimin extended his hand to Jeyeon, apologizing, 'I’m sorry for judging things on my own, and thank you for keeping your heart open despite that.' Jeyeon, grabbing his hand firmly, showcased rapid progress in their relationship.
The next day, during their 'final date', Jimin recalled Jeyeon's words about liking amusement parks and guided her there. While recommending headbands to each other, the now adorably dressed 'Jijeon' took a sweet 'two-shot' against a beautiful night view, and like during their 'first contract relationship', they took 'four-cut photos', gazing deeper into each other's eyes. Upon arriving at the carousel in the amusement park, they reminisced about the carousel they had seen together during their first date in Florence, and with a shared seat, they completed the narrative of 'relationship environmental connections', thrilling the 5 MCs. While walking down the street, a captivating moment of 'eye contact' lasting five seconds unfolded as they couldn’t take their eyes off each other, leaving both the studio and viewers 'breathless'. As fireworks unfolded before them, Jimin quietly held Jeyeon's hand while watching, and on the way out of the amusement park, snow fell—something Jimin had wished to see with Jeyeon—creating a 'beautiful ending'. The 5 MCs, who had been quietly watching their date, remarked, 'Setting a legendary date record, the two are 'day 1 from today.'
On the other hand, in the 'Pairing House' where those who failed to match remained, an awkward atmosphere lingered. Chang-hwan had chosen Sua, and Sang-yun had chosen Chae-eun, while both Sua and Ha-neul opted for 'Jimin,' resulting in the failure of the home date pairing of Chang-hwan and Sua. Realizing the situation, Chang-hwan couldn’t hide his troubled heart and maintained an awkward atmosphere throughout his reunion with Sua at the 'Pairing House'. Furthermore, Sang-yun, who abruptly shifted from Jeyeon to Chae-eun, admitted, 'I was upset right after I realized my blunder,' and commented, 'I was worried all along whether there would be Jeyeon noona in the 'Pairing House', so it’s a relief there isn’t.' The 5 MCs observed, 'It seems Sang-yun still has lingering feelings for Jeyeon,' closely watching the last movements of the four 'no pairing'.
Meanwhile, the 10 residents who traveled between Italy and Seoul for four weeks will carry out their much-anticipated 'final selection' in the final episode of 'Heartpairing' aired on the 27th (Friday). As the 'Pairing House' faces its final night filled with tension, the 'final choice' of the 10 individuals seeking their perfect match will be revealed on Channel A's 'Heartpairing' final episode, which airs at 10:50 p.m. on the 27th (Friday).
