Lee Jeong-jin of 'Groom Class' exchanged signals of mutual interest with the 'blind date woman' on their first date, and Jang Woo-hyuk put a ring on Oh Chae-i's finger.
In episode 184 of Channel A's variety show These Days' Men Life - Groom Class (hereinafter 'Groom Class'), which aired on the afternoon of the 15th, Lee Jeong-jin is shown growing closer while on a perfume workshop date with office worker Park Hae-ri, whom he had previously met on a blind date. Also, Jang Woo-hyuk took his first long-distance trip with Oh Chae-i to Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, and received a surprise kiss from Oh Chae-i, creating one of the most heart-fluttering endings to date. According to Nielsen Korea, the broadcast recorded a nationwide paid TV household rating of 2.1%, ranking first among general programming cable channels in the same time slot.
On a rare sunny day, Lee Jeong-jin drove Park Hae-ri to their date. In the car he casually asked, "Did anyone say anything after our blind date aired on the show?" Park Hae-ri replied sweetly, "Acquaintances asked, 'How was it (meeting Lee Jeong-jin)?' and said he was very warm and a nice person." Then Park Hae-ri asked, "I'm curious what people around you said." The use of the term oppa made Lee Jeong-jin's mouth lift, and he answered, "Everyone called and said, 'It went well,' and 'We're curious how things are going,' showing interest."
In the sweet atmosphere, the two went to the perfume workshop Lee Jeong-jin had reserved. There they decided to make perfumes for each other, and when they agreed to 'choose a scent that comes to mind when thinking of the other person,' both surprised everyone by choosing cypress as the main scent. Watching in the studio, relationship advisor Sim Jin-hwa exclaimed, "It's fate!" Jang Woo-hyuk of the '78s' asked Lee Jeong-jin, who was gazing at Park Hae-ri, "What kind of feeling did you get?" Lee Jeong-jin said, "A good feeling? Seeing it on the screen, I'm smiling a lot~" and reacted that he was surprised at himself.
After finishing the perfume-making, the two went to a restaurant Lee Jeong-jin had reserved. Upon arriving, Lee Jeong-jin opened the door for her, and the mentors applauded at his 'unexpected sweet' charm. The restaurant was run by Lee Jeong-jin's close friend, broadcaster Jung Joon-ha, who greeted Park Hae-ri warmly and praised her, saying, "I saw the blind date on the show. He gave a really good impression. The first impression was good, and after talking in person he seems even better." He then asked the pair, "How did your families react to seeing the blind date?" Lee Jeong-jin said, "My family is calmly watching," and Park Hae-ri laughed, "Their reaction was better than I expected." Jung Joon-ha, happy as if it were his own matter, said, "Both parents approved. It's settled, it's settled~"
Watching Lee Jeong-jin place a spoon, Jung Joon-ha joked to Park Hae-ri, "Please understand if he's not very sociable." Lee Jeong-jin modestly said, "I'm inexperienced, so I'm taking lessons. I need more guidance." Park Hae-ri praised him, saying, "You treated me very well today. From the first meeting you made me feel comfortable." Lee Jeong-jin also complimented Park Hae-ri's charm, saying, "You have an exceptional consideration for others." In the sweet mood, Jung Joon-ha asked Park Hae-ri, "What is your ideal type?" Park Hae-ri replied, "I value the vibe a person gives off more than looks. I like someone responsible." Afterwards they played a balance game; their answers differed, but they agreed, "Even siblings have different eating habits, so how could people from completely different environments match perfectly? You adjust to each other~" and ended the date warmly.
Next, Jang Woo-hyuk and Oh Chae-i's first long-distance trip was revealed. That day, Jang Woo-hyuk and Oh Chae-i went to Daegwallyeong, Gangwon Province. They rode a train converted from a tractor up to the Daegwallyeong sky observatory and chatted warmly while snacking. At that time, Jang Woo-hyuk noticed a couple doing wedding photography nearby and said, "Maybe we're meant to be. Didn't we see wedding photography on our previous date? We only seem to go to places where they do wedding shoots. We could come back here for our wedding photos later," flirting. Oh Chae-i smiled, and they went to a nearby market to shop. Even at the market, employees cheered them on, saying, "You two look so good together." Oh Chae-i checked a prewritten memo and carefully bought ingredients for the meal they planned to cook. Watching in the studio, relationship advisor Sim Jin-hwa admired, "She's the ideal bride. She's already finished bride training~"
After a while, they went to a glamping site in the forest, and Oh Chae-i cooked dishes such as egg in hell and mille-feuille nabe. Jang Woo-hyuk ate heartily and said, "How great would it be to eat this every day?" Later Jang Woo-hyuk grilled meat himself and gave it to Oh Chae-i, who was moved, saying, "When we went on family trips, I always built the fire and grilled the meat. This is the first time someone has done this for me." Jang Woo-hyuk said, "From now on, I'll do it for you," which touched Oh Chae-i.
After the meal they lit a campfire and drifted into romance. Jang Woo-hyuk played Deulgukhwa's "Every day with you," held Oh Chae-i's hand and danced with her. He confessed, "Today's food was delicious, but I also felt that Chae-i thinks of me a lot. How great would it be if someone made this kind of food every day, like in that song?" and presented a preprepared "couple ring." Oh Chae-i was moved by the cute beaded ring, and Jang Woo-hyuk, calling it a "baby ring," slipped a small ring onto Oh Chae-i's pinky finger as an event akin to a proposal.
Later, looking at the stars, Jang Woo-hyuk said, "Chae-i's eyes are like the stars," and Oh Chae-i surprised him with a quick kiss on the cheek. The studio mentor panel exclaimed, "What is this? What did we just see?" and 'teacher' Lee Da Hae, who introduced the pair, blushed and said, "I'm so proud." 'Principal' Lee Seung-chul congratulated them, "I knew you were an excellent student, but I didn't expect this level." In the studio, Jang Woo-hyuk said, "I won't be appearing on 'Groom Class' anymore, but I'll cheer for you from afar," offering his final farewell. The studio mentor panel said, "We'll keep waiting for good news," and cheered on Jang Woo-hyuk and Oh Chae-i.
