The same wallpaper, the same year, the same travel destination, the same religion, the same location for tattoos, and the same ideal type—all these amazing coincidences unfolded on tvN's 'Really Good Person.'
On the 24th, 'Really Good Person' (directed by Shin So-young) aired with perhaps the most fateful couple ever seen in dating shows, attracting significant attention. The two fateful protagonists are Shin Dong-ha, a friend of Heo Young-ji, and Kang Soo-jin, a friend of Kim Young-kwang. They surprised everyone by revealing commonalities that 'are less than one in 100 million.'
The two confirmed that their first meeting featured the same phone wallpaper— a photo of the Eiffel Tower—and that they had both traveled alone to the same country (Paris, France) in the same year, garnering attention for what has been dubbed the 'Eiffel Tower connection.' This led viewers on the dating show to express surprise, saying, 'Did the two of you meet in Paris?' and 'This is a rom-com cliché!'
Additionally, during this broadcast, it was revealed that both individuals have tattoos on their left forearms that carry religious significance, and both of them expressed a preference for 'tall people' as their ideal type, heating up the atmosphere in the studio. Viewers remarked on the shared traits ranging from their simple tastes to values and perspectives on love, asking, 'Isn't this truly fate?' and speculating on their fateful connection.
Immediately after the broadcast, viewers reacted passionately, saying, 'This is a legendary tale of fate in a dating show,' 'It's the first time I got goosebumps watching a dating show,' and 'Is this statistically even possible?' Online communities and social media saw a surge of posts related to the two, proving their intriguing nature.
Shin So-young, the producer of 'Really Good Person,' noted, 'Even the production crew found it surprising enough to question it multiple times during editing.' She continued, 'It felt as though a coincidence orchestrated by someone happened in real life. I believe this is the first time I've seen such a connection in the history of dating reality.'
