In 'Old Couple Pursuit,' the after-date choices of Kim Sook and Koo Bon-seung, Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja, and Lee Jae-hwang and Jang Seo-hee were realized.
The KBS 2TV entertainment program 'Old Couple Pursuit' aired on the 23rd and revealed the final choice time. 'Old Couple Pursuit' features a storyline about single colleagues in the entertainment industry who believed nothing would happen even if they were stranded on a deserted island.
Following the 1:1 date, there was a selection for another after-date connection. The first to choose was Kim Sook. Kim Sook said, "There is someone I want to get to know better," and "I will light the candle of connection with Bon-seung, who has made me feel emotions I haven't felt in a long time," choosing Koo Bon-seung.
In an interview with the 'Old Couple Pursuit' production team, Kim Sook revealed, "In fact, it's been a while since I stopped wanting to impress anyone. But I still tried to present myself neatly and speak a bit nicely. I felt like I still have new emotions within me," which brought a touching response from Koo Bon-seung.
Koo Bon-seung said, "There are many sides to this person. It's interesting and charming. It doesn't seem forced; it seems like the original nature of this person," and chosen Kim Sook. After filming, they exchanged phone numbers and set up a fishing date in Jeju Island, sparking excitement.
The long-awaited meeting between fan Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja (real name Lee Yoo-mi) also took place. Lee Young-ja noted, "There was an assumption that 'men are all like that'" and confessed, "I ended up catching three eel with Jae-hwang. My mental state was shaken by Sang-ryul. I, too, was shaken in my clothes by Bon-seung. Everything was shaken," bringing laughter.
Despite this, Lee Young-ja said, "But I feel like this person has only filled me up," and added, "People say age is just a number, but from my perspective, I'm the oldest here, and I'm very sorry. I'm thinking a lot. If I do not make any demands..." and with much thought, she expressed her intention to light a candle of connection with Hwang Dong-joo.
Hwang Dong-joo said, "After visiting Namiseom, my feelings became firm," adding, "Thanks to that person, I feel happiness for being an actor and a broadcaster, a feeling I have never experienced so profoundly since my debut. I am grateful for this great happiness and will light a candle for Lee Young-ja," expressing a desire to meet again for a longer conversation.
Additionally, Lee Jae-hwang and Jang Seo-hee reunited as characters from 'Wife's Temptation' 15 years ago and chose each other. Meanwhile, Ji Sang-ryul and Woo Hee-jin, after much consideration, chose not to light a candle. This has sparked curiosity about how the after-date filming and final choices will unfold in the remaining two episodes of 'Old Couple Pursuit.'
