Pursuing Old Encounters season 2 concluded without couple matching.
On the 21st, the KBS Joy·KBS2·GTV show 'Pursuing Old Encounters' (hereafter 'Pursuing Old Encounters') aired the final story of the season 2 cast's 'Journey of Relationships.'
On this day, Kang Se-jeong chose Lee Gi-chan as her last date. She decided to spend her final moments with Lee Gi-chan, who had captured her heart with his singing, rather than Park Kwang-jae, who had consistently shown interest in her. Before dating Lee Gi-chan, she drew the line by saying, "Let's not talk about other people," and spent an exciting time with him. In particular, she expressed regret at the end of the date, saying she wished they had exchanged information about each other earlier.
Finally, the final after selection time of 'Pursuing Old Encounters' approached. First, Shin Bong-sun applied for an after-date with Lee Hyung-cheol, but he declined, stating, "If a couple does not reach a final conclusion, they become strangers. I have a greater desire to maintain a good relationship for a long time."
Then, Kang Se-jeong announced, "I will choose the person I felt most comfortable with," and ignited the flame with Lee Gi-chan instead of Park Kwang-jae. Park Kwang-jae, who had been devoted to Kang Se-jeong, had to swallow his tears. He thanked her for giving him unforgettable memories, saying, "Through 'Pursuing Old Encounters,' my dating instincts have been awakened again." Before the final choice, Park Kwang-jae did not deliver the handwritten letter he intended for Kang Se-jeong and also gave up on the after-date selection.
However, Lee Gi-chan lit the flame with Park Eun-hye. He explained his choice, saying, "The time we spent together was warm, and it was the time I laughed the most."
Park Eun-hye looked surprised as if she had not expected it at all. Her response was to forgo the after-date selection. She said, "I wanted to pursue 'old encounters' through 'Pursuing Old Encounters,' but it seems premature to say that I want to continue a relationship with one person," explaining her reason for giving up the selection.
Lee Sang-jun and Wax, who had both shown mutual interests, also did not light the flame of connection. Wax recalled their 'Journey of Relationships,' saying, "I felt like I returned to my 20s in terms of romantic feelings. It was a time when I felt pure happiness." She added, "I realized that Lee Sang-jun is not someone I can consider an older partner, so I was able to sort out my feelings. But I felt sad," sharing her honest feelings.
Lee Sang-jun confessed, "I never had a distinct ideal type until now. Unless I fell in love at first sight, I had no desire to get to know someone. However, I learned that even if I don't fall in love at first sight, I can like someone, and I also have an ideal type." He continued, "I finally met the person I dreamed of..." but could not finish his sentence, overwhelmed with emotion. Ultimately, he could not complete his thoughts, and his heartfelt tears moved the other participants to tears as well.
In the end, unlike the first season, which produced three couples, season 2 concluded without a single couple forming. However, towards the end of the broadcast, another exciting news emerged to capture the audience's attention as it announced the start of season 3 of 'Pursuing Old Encounters.'
Actors Lee Kyu-han and Hwang Bo were the first to appear, and the teaser released after the broadcast heightened viewer anticipation by featuring actors Lee Kyun, Jang So-yeon, comedian Song Byeong-cheol, and singer Solbi as participants of season 3.
