In 'Can We Love Now,' actor Cheon Jeong-myung chose lawyer Lee Yoo-jin as his first after, receiving support from everyone for her mature appearance, which is the most similar in age among his dating candidates.
On the 21st, Cheon Jeong-myung met lawyer Lee Yoo-jin again on the tvN Story Channel show 'Can We Love Now.'
On this day, Cheon Jeong-myung went on his first after date. Since it was a first after filled with excitement as much as his deep thoughts, he even prepared a customized gift for her.
Amid curiosity about who he would choose as an after from the five meetings, Cheon Jeong-myung said, "I tried to approach her as a human Cheong-myung, being cautious," adding, "The thrill I felt was the greatest among the people I've met so far, so I decided to apply for an after to confirm that (thrilling) feeling once again."
He showed delight at the appearance of his date. His after partner was none other than the first date candidate, lawyer Lee Yoo-jin. Although they did not recognize each other during their first meeting, the two eventually met again. They exchanged pleasantries and chatted. The dating partner said, "As time passed, I had no expectations for an after; I naturally thought it wouldn't happen," and honestly shared, "I thought I would be forgotten, so I was surprised to receive contact like this." She then said, "I felt good when I received the after application."
The two then moved to a restaurant. The dating partner expressed embarrassment about their first meeting, saying, "I couldn't make eye contact at all; I didn't expect it to be like that." She added, "Aren't I looking at you a bit more today?" laughing nervously, "I still felt a bit jittery; your eyes are so beautiful, and you have such a deep gaze that it wasn't easy to look at you." The dating partner noted, "However, for the second meeting, we became more intimate inside, so it felt natural to look into each other's eyes while talking," to which Cheon Jeong-myung responded, "Something has changed, hasn't it? What kind of change occurred?" He said, "It seems like, like me, the second meeting has become a bit more relaxed; we both felt our tension ease."
Netizens also responded warmly, commenting, "They match so well together," "What is this? This stability... I hope he meets a sharp-witted woman," "They seem to fit perfectly as they are the closest in age; they look great as marriage partners," and "Finally, they met their match; I hope it goes well."
Meanwhile, Cheon Jeong-myung had previously confessed about resting from acting for six years, saying, "There was a manager friend with whom I worked for a long time. We worked together for 15 or 16 years. That friend betrayed me," adding, "I suffered from fraud and embezzlement. I found it hard to believe at that time."
Cheon Jeong-myung shared, "I thought of him not just as a manager but like a younger brother in the family. It was very difficult for me to be betrayed by a friend I trusted so much," and noted, "I seriously considered quitting my job, even thinking about retirement." He confessed, "I developed social anxiety. I couldn't meet people well, and even if I did, I couldn't trust them. Even when they approached me sincerely, it didn't feel sincere, and I perceived them as enemies." He expressed that dating was also tough, adding, "I couldn't trust anyone; I could only trust my family."
