That day, Cheon Jung-myung met his date with a fluttering heart. Her name was Kim Jae-i.

She then introduced her profession, saying she had been doing traditional Korean dance for 24 years. The date described herself as a "Korean dancer."

Especially, to the date who had won various domestic and international awards, Cheon Jung-myung remarked, "I think it's wonderful to see people who have dedicated over 10 years to one field." He praised his match, saying, "I was really impressed by how dedicated she is to her work," adding, "She’s close to my ideal type. I don’t have a clear ideal type, but I like people who do their best in their work and know how to present themselves well."

Continuing on, Cheon Jung-myung found a fateful commonality in their conversation that happened by chance, and they exchanged stories about their romantic histories.

As he showed curiosity toward the charming date, she said, "(My charm is) just the tip of the iceberg," and Cheon Jung-myung responded, "Then we should get closer; I’m quite curious about this."

While moving to a different location, the two naturally linked arms on the slippery road, and the level of excitement exploded. The date said, "I need to hold onto your clothes," and Cheon Jung-myung laughed, saying, "You can pinch me if you’d like." As they enjoyed physical contact after a long time, Cheon Jung-myung expressed, "It feels really exciting to link arms after such a long time. I was like, 'Is this okay on a first meeting?'" The date expressed, "I want to get a bit closer, and I thought if the distance reduces, we could become closer," adding, "A bit of flirting to get to know each other more; it’s exciting."

The preview also showed the two meeting in a practice room. The date stated, "It's my first solo performance on our first meeting," and asked, "Is there any way you can resist me?" While questioning about his dating style, she said she was "hoping to have a boyfriend." While making pottery together, they displayed physical contact by touching hands. Cheon Jung-myung noted, "I really enjoyed the tactile sensation of touching hands continuously," showing that the level of excitement had completely exploded.
