Travel creator and broadcaster Pani Bottle's first public romance is making headlines every day. He had revealed that he was a 'motaesolo' (someone who has never dated) until the age of 34, and now, at 37, he has started a serious relationship, leading to much surprise and congratulations. The special process of him meeting his girlfriend has also been disclosed in detail, writing a 'genuine love story.'
Pani Bottle's romance was revealed unexpectedly on the 22nd during the broadcast of MBC's 'Adventure By Accident 4' (hereafter 'AbyA 4').
During the broadcast, Pani Bottle, who met the spiritual leader of the Naxi people, 'Dongpa,' cautiously asked about his romantic history. In response, Dongpa suggested through Dongpa letters that "You already have a girlfriend. You seem to be dating quite seriously."
Taken by surprise from the sudden revelation, Pani Bottle created a wave of laughter in the studio. He expressed his honest feelings to the production team, saying, "Is this okay to air?" However, after asking his girlfriend, he acknowledged their relationship with a cool response that "It doesn't matter." After the broadcast, he officially confirmed his first public romance on his Instagram, posting the broadcast screen with the caption, "It happened like this."
As public interest grew, Pani Bottle candidly revealed the details of his first meeting with his girlfriend through a YouTube channel on the 23rd, drawing attention once again. In the video, he shared his experience volunteering at the site of the Andong forest fire damage, explaining how he met his girlfriend there.
Pani Bottle explained how he came to Andong by saying, "A major forest fire occurred two or three months ago, and I thought it would be a bigger help to not only donate but to come to the site and contribute to the recovery efforts." He further revealed, "I met my girlfriend while volunteering," which drew surprise.
Pani Bottle jokingly said, "I came to volunteer with impure intentions, but now I'm stuck volunteering and can't escape," eliciting laughs. However, he emphasized the true value of volunteering with a witty remark, saying, "You can come to volunteer to find a girlfriend. After all, someone will receive help." As it became clear that their bond went beyond simple dating to a relationship formed through positive influence, warmer support has continued.
After the public romance, Pani Bottle also directly addressed some speculation surrounding him that claimed, 'Successful romance after Wigobi (weight loss procedure).' He firmly drew the line by capturing the report on his social media account story, stating, "I had met before I underwent Wigobi." This helped to curb unnecessary rumors and build trust with his fans.
An unexpected revelation through a variety show and a fateful encounter through volunteer work. Pani Bottle's honest and straightforward genuine love story, which has started after overcoming the past of being a 'motaesolo', has resonated with the public, raising expectations for his 'life romance.'
