As the 8 participants of 'Heart Pairing' enter into 'contract dating', a male and female participant who explode with 'real couple chemistry' from the very first day of 'contract dating' has captured the attention of the studio MCs.
In the 7th episode of 'Heart Pairing' airing on Channel A at 10:50 p.m. on the 25th, the 8 participants, Jimin, Jiwon, Woojae, Jeyeon, Chanhyung, Changhwan, Chaeun, and Haneul, who reside in Seoul's 'Pairing House', will begin their 'contract dating' and reveal their journey of getting to know each other deeply. In particular, this 'contract dating' allows them to exchange messages with their partner for three days over the weekend, providing an opportunity to monopolize their partner, which is expected to be a 'romantic turning point' that could completely shake up the existing love lines.
On that day, after hearing the explanation about 'contract dating', the 8 participants will choose their desired contract dating partner after 24 hours of deliberation. They will then confirm their matched 'contract dating' partner at their designated date location. Among them, one couple exhibits a 'true pink mood' and showcases a 'tiki-taka' when they complement each other, thrilling studio MCs Yoon Jong-shin, Lee Cheong-ah, Choi Si-won, Mimi, and Professor Park Ji-sun. Eventually, they propose, in accordance with the rule that they can connect on social media and exchange messages through 'contract dating', "Shall we give each other nicknames?" Then the male participant suggests, referencing the female's cute characteristics, "How about 'Kkogong'?" explaining the meaning of his nickname. The female participant bursts into laughter and responds, "Then I'll go with 'Ki-wang.' I think we did a great job with our nicknames~"
Watching the sweet interactions between the two, Yoon Jong-shin and Choi Si-won simultaneously exclaim, "Oh my~, so cute," and Choi Si-won asks Yoon Jong-shin, "How is your sister-in-law saved in your phone?" Yoon Jong-shin immediately replies, "Jeon Mi-ra..." causing everyone to burst into laughter. Mimi even gives a round of applause and rolls backward, generating a hot interest in who the couple with the 'pink mood' that captivated the studio MCs is.
Meanwhile, on this day, Professor Park Ji-sun closely observes each 'contract dating' couple's dating progress, sensing the romantic aftershocks that will hit the 'Pairing House.' He mentions the 'uniform effect,' stating, "Sending each other texts and spending the weekend together is significant for relationship formation." When asked by Lee Cheong-ah, "Does calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend and assigning nicknames in 'contract dating' have a big impact on people's feelings?" he explains, "There is a term called 'uniform effect', where experiment participants dressed as prisoners and guards immersed themselves so much in their roles that the experiment had to be stopped." He predicts, "Although it's a 3-day 'contract dating', everyone will inevitably be immersed in that situation." At the same time, watching the unexpected matching results that surprised everyone during the 'contract dating' date, Professor Park Ji-sun cheerfully supports the new love line, saying, "For this male participant, the 3 days is a chance!" heightening curiosity for the upcoming broadcast.
It remains to be seen what choices the 8 participants will make in their first 'contract dating' and their matching results, which can be confirmed in the 7th episode of 'Heart Pairing' airing on Channel A at 10:50 p.m. on the 25th.
