'Pursuing Old Encounters' Season 2 revealed its viewing points ahead of its first broadcast on June 16 at 9:50 p.m.
Returning with Season 2, 'Pursuing Old Encounters' gained immense love from viewers by creating the couple 'Lee Young-ja-Hwang Dong-joo' and 'Kim Sook-Koo Bon-seung' in Season 1, which aired last January.
'Pursuing Old Encounters' is a program that examines fleeting connections experienced by singles from the entertainment industry, who believed nothing would happen even if they were stranded together on a deserted island, while searching for their true connections they may have overlooked.
The past and present relationships of Lee Hyung-cheol, Lee Gi-chan, Park Kwang-jae, Lee Sang-jun, WAX, Park Eun-hye, Shin Bong-sun, and Kang Se-jung participating in Season 2 are attracting viewers' keen interest. As nuanced emotional changes and unpredictable relationship shifts unfold over a 1-night, 2-day event, we will identify the key viewing points that will capture the audience's attention.
■ Can longtime friends evolve into lovers?
WAX and Lee Gi-chan, known as longtime friends for 25 years, are reuniting in the second season of 'Pursuing Old Encounters' after dominating the music charts as a 'legendary duet'. In the teaser video, Lee Gi-chan greets WAX by saying, "You look beautiful today," to which WAX responds, "I feel like my mindset has changed a bit," hinting at a subtle emotional progression in their relationship. As they have been close friends and colleagues in the music industry for many years, there is attention on how they will express their emotions in front of the camera and the potential for their relationship to evolve beyond friendship.
■ Can a meeting with a past ideal type lead to 'real-life marriage'?
The pairing of comedian Lee Sang-jun and Shin Bong-sun is also generating excitement. Lee Sang-jun has previously expressed affection towards Shin Bong-sun, saying "you are beautiful regardless of what you wear," "I kept thinking about you," and "I want to keep talking." In this broadcast, Shin Bong-sun expressed a desire to come as "Shin Bong-sun the woman" instead of "Shin Bong-sun the comedian," indicating a plan to reveal genuine feelings unlike her usual persona on the show. Attention is focused on whether the duo, known for their cheerful chemistry, can discover sincere emotions and evolve into a 'national comedian' couple through 'Pursuing Old Encounters'.
■ The actor, a former athlete, reveals emotion beneath a tough exterior.
Former basketball player-turned-broadcaster Park Kwang-jae, who garnered attention for his genuine tears from the teaser video, is set to reveal his human side behind his tough image without filters. He frankly confessed, "It has been so long since I felt this way," and "I didn't want to let go of that hand," raising curiosity about the meaning of his tears and who captured his heart.
■ Formerly reunited actors showcase unexpected charms!
Additionally, the program will feature actor Lee Hyung-cheol, who will reveal stories about his selection for KBS's Super Talent Season 1 after a long absence from the entertainment scene, actress Park Eun-hye, who showcases her honest and quirky charm by saying on-air, "I believe in God, but I also get fortune-telling," and actress Kang Se-jung, from the idol group Papaya, adding a versatile flair to the program. They are intertwined with various connections, such as having co-starred in music videos 17 years ago, meeting several times through acquaintances, and reuniting after 25 years since appearing in the same drama. There is attention on how these past connections will progress into future relationships.
