tvN's dating reality show 'Really Okay People' has revealed the jobs and ages of the participants for the first time. The variable was the age difference.
On the 17th (Sunday) broadcast of tvN's 'Really Okay People' (directed by Shin So-young), the results of the second vote were unveiled after a 1:1 date matched directly by the lovers. As the stipulations of the participants, which had been shrouded in mystery, were revealed for the first time, subtle emotional changes occurred in the Lover's House, forecasting a more unpredictable development of the love lines.
Ha Jeong-geun and Choi Ji-eun grew closer while enjoying a 1:1 date at an LP bar, recommended by Lee Kwan-hee. Ha Jeong-geun naturally approached Choi Ji-eun by showing interest in photography, one of her interests, and did not forget to cover her in his clothes since she was wearing a short skirt. As Ha Jeong-geun approached slowly, keeping pace with Choi Ji-eun, his sincere feelings shone through, and Choi Ji-eun also gradually opened her heart, bringing excitement. The reactions of the lovers also heightened the immersion. Kang So-ra laughed by saying, "Is it a fox?" as she learned of Choi Ji-eun's unexpected charm, and the lovers responded with great enthusiasm to Ha Jeong-geun's physical flirtation, heating up the studio.
Kim Gun-woo and Kim Shin-young's date was equally captivating. The two exuded a model couple atmosphere as they began a romantic yacht date, recommended by Ji Ye-eun. While Kim Gun-woo struggled with sudden seasickness, he did not give any hint of it and instead showed his considerate nature by taking pictures of Kim Shin-young. The two grew even closer as they enjoyed sliced apples on the yacht, and when Kim Shin-young struggled with her apple slicing, Kim Gun-woo casually and sweetly said, "Honey, let me try."
Meanwhile, Oh Hyun-jin and Kang Soo-jin, who were deeply immersed in their market date, continued their first date with snacks as their lunch menu. Oh Hyun-jin earned Kang Soo-jin's favor with meticulous consideration, such as bringing her apron. They confirmed their similar values while talking about their ideal types. Particularly, while Kang Soo-jin expressed her desire to meet all four males, Oh Hyun-jin's candid confession, "I only want to meet you and (Lee) Da-hye," added excitement. Observing this, 'Oh Hyun-jin's lover' Kim Nam-hee showed an excited reaction, saying, "Please take good care of her," causing laughter in the studio.
Returning to the Lover's House, the eight participants revealed a subtly changed atmosphere as they prepared dinner. Lee Da-hye and Shin Dong-ha, who enjoyed a kayak date, boasted a couple-like vibe while dating, prompting Kim Gun-woo to show his inability to hide his concern for Lee Da-hye. During dinner, Ha Jeong-geun persistently searched for Choi Ji-eun, demonstrating his 'Ji-eun admirer' nature, and amidst this atmosphere, Shin Dong-ha and Lee Da-hye could not hide their confused expressions. Shin Dong-ha, who likes Choi Ji-eun, confessed, "Jung-geun is quite obvious," revealing his nervous feelings.
The second choice of the eight participants also unveiled its veil. In this choice, the ages and jobs of their selected partners were revealed for the first time, shocking everyone. Ha Jeong-geun and Shin Dong-ha chose Choi Ji-eun for two consecutive days, while Choi Ji-eun revealed her changed feelings by choosing Ha Jeong-geun this time, unlike her first choice. Particularly, unlike Lee Da-hye's choice of Shin Dong-ha, Shin Dong-ha disclosed his honest feelings about Lee Da-hye, stating, "It's more of a friendship than excitement," which caused 'Lee Da-hye's lover' Lee Mi-joo to show a troubled expression instead of a friend's.
The choices of Ha Jeong-geun and Shin Dong-ha also revealed Choi Ji-eun's information for the first time. Choi Ji-eun is a 28-year-old producer, and Kang So-ra noted that she "is in charge of shooting videos at her agency," mentioning the connection between the two. Ha Jeong-geun was revealed to be a 32-year-old M&A investment strategist, and Shin Dong-ha was disclosed as a 38-year-old head dermatologist with 13 years of experience, adding surprising elements. Heo Young-ji noted that she is so close to Shin Dong-ha that "we have a separate group chat with my older sister," while Lee Da-hye, who was convinced that Shin Dong-ha worked in music, could not hide her surprise, saying, "He's really good at this."
Oh Hyun-jin and Kang Soo-jin chose each other after their 1:1 date, continuing their mutual feelings. Kang Soo-jin, who confessed to being a 'lifetime solo,' was revealed to be a 28-year-old soccer coach, while Oh Hyun-jin was disclosed as a 39-year-old theater and musical actor, providing unexpected twists. Particularly, while Kang Soo-jin had revealed that "a maximum age difference of up to 6 years is fine," she exhibited shock when confronted with the reality of an 11-year age gap. With no dating experience, Kang Soo-jin revealed her discomfort at the unexpectedly large age difference, heightening curiosity about how their relationship will develop going forward.
As the specifications such as the participants' jobs and ages were unveiled, significant changes in emotional lines were anticipated. The next week's broadcast is expected to reveal the information of Kim Gun-woo and Kim Shin-young, stirring curiosity. tvN's reality show 'Really Okay People' is a dating reality featuring celebrities as matchmakers introducing their truly good friends, airing every Sunday at 7:50 p.m.
