The flower-holding man of Lee Young-ja, Hwang Dong-joo, noted, "I will approach you clumsily but comfortably," promising a meeting.
On the broadcast of KBS JOY, KBS 2TV's 'Pursuit of Old Encounters' (hereafter 'Pursuit'), aired on the 9th, the friendly atmosphere of the 'Pursuit Season 1' gathering and a surprise date between Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja were revealed. In the 'Pursuit Season 1' gathering, Hwang Dong-joo & Lee Young-ja, Koo Bon-seung & Kim Sook, Lee Jae-hwang & Jang Seo-hee, and Ji Sang-ryeol, Woo Hee-jin, were all present.
Before the gathering, Hwang Dong-joo was invited to Koo Bon-seung and Kim Sook's after-date. During this time, Kim Sook called Lee Young-ja, who expressed her heartfelt sentiments towards Hwang Dong-joo, saying, "Why are you seeing my man?" and "You called someone I can't even invite because I'm shy, who are you?" Hwang Dong-joo mentioned that he hadn't actively contacted Lee Young-ja, noting, "Actually, I was worried about Yumi noona. I liked her too much and didn't consider Yumi noona well," and he worried about the explosive interest following the broadcast, including the 'marriage rumors.'
Finally, the gathering of 'Pursuit Season 1' began with all members present. Hwang Dong-joo complimented the makeup of Lee Young-ja sitting next to him, saying, "You look very pretty today." When Lee Young-ja asked, "Did Dong-joo's mother watch 'Pursuit'?" Hwang Dong-joo replied, "My mom also likes Yumi noona. She told me to dress beautifully and go because I'm going to film 'Pursuit' today." Lee Young-ja then revealed, "My family already calls Dong-joo brother-in-law," reigniting the 'marriage rumors' between the two. It was then mentioned that when Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja smiled, they resembled each other, referencing the 'jawline destiny rumor.' Hwang Dong-joo expressed his affection, saying, "I really liked Lee Young-ja's smile. She looks very pretty when she smiles more than when she tries to be funny."
After the gathering of 'Pursuit Season 1' concluded, Hwang Dong-joo appeared with a large bouquet of flowers in front of Lee Young-ja. He sincerely conveyed, "I just wanted to make the biggest one by putting in all the pretty flowers." When Lee Young-ja expressed regret about the flowers wilting, Hwang Dong-joo gently encouraged her, saying, "Just enjoy them now as you see them. Eat the best first, and wear the best clothes first." Lee Young-ja thanked Hwang Dong-joo, saying, "The lights of love turned on during my free date with Hwang Dong-joo," who provided heartfelt confidence even though he was a bit rough. Hwang Dong-joo promised, "Even if I'm a little clumsy, I will now comfortably... see you often."
In the end, Hwang Dong-joo received a stylish coat that is a unique item in the country as a gift from Lee Young-ja. Lee Young-ja mentioned, "I felt sorry that I only gave it to Koo Bon-seung," and Hwang Dong-joo responded, "It wasn't bought, but a personal item that was given. I think that's more meaningful and good." As Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja have shown a slow but good start through 'Pursuit,' public interest is gathering about how their relationship will unfold in the future.
