Channel A's 'Heart pairing' is continuing its 'record-breaking popularity' march ahead of the much-anticipated 'final selection' on the 27th (Friday).
The 'Heart pairing' broadcast on the 20th recorded 4th place in the 'TV-OTT non-drama popularity' in the FunDex chart compiled by Good Day Corporation for the 3rd week of June, achieving a remarkable record of entering the 'TOP 5' in the TV non-drama institutional sector for 10 consecutive weeks. It also maintained its 1st place in the 'TV Friday non-drama popularity' chart for 3 consecutive weeks, reflecting explosive interest and buzz regarding the final selection results of the 10 participants.
Along with this, in the 15th episode, the couple Jeyun and Jimin, who showed their romantic date like a movie at the amusement park, ranked 5th and 7th respectively in the 'TV-OTT non-drama popularity', showcasing the impact of the 'Jijeyun' (Jimin and Jeyun) couple. Moreover, in the last date before the final selection, a 1-night, 2-day 'home date' with Jimin and Jeyun, along with Woojae and Jiwon, and Chan-hyung and Chaeun unfolded, leading 'Heart pairing' to once again break its own viewership record, proving its 'syndrome' level popularity.
The 'home date' over 1 night, which provided each other with more 'certainty', alongside the complex emotions of those who failed to pair, will conclude with the final selection of the 10 participants—Sang-yoon, Sua, Woo-jae, Jeyun, Jimin, Jiwon, Chan-hyung, Chang-hwan, Chaeun, and Haneul—broadcasting at 10:50 p.m. on the 27th (Friday), marking a glamorous finale.
In connection with this, the preview for the 16th episode of 'Heart pairing' reveals the diverse emotions and thoughts of the participants, who only have the final selection left after four weeks of scheduling. In the preview, Jimin expresses relief, saying, "I said everything I couldn’t say before," while Jeyun, who had not shown much emotional depth until now, ultimately shows 'tears' on the last night, raising curiosity about the circumstances.
Meanwhile, Sua, the last participant who struggled between her attraction to Chang-hwan, who had liked her throughout the 'pairing house' schedule, and her feelings for Jimin, wrote a postcard saying, "I gained the courage to be honest with my heart," drawing attention to Sua's final selection. Additionally, Sang-yoon noted, "I feel like I’ll never have such an opportunity again," and Chang-hwan expressed, "I did as my heart instructed, so there’s no regret," reflecting a solid decision-making process. The scene also continues where participants waiting at the final selection venue make their last calls to someone with whom they shared a bond.
As the participants who spent twenty-five nights together explore values regarding marriage and life, attention is drawn to who they will ultimately connect with at the end of their journey, focusing on their final selection results.
