Kim Hyun-jin of SBS' Child liberation project - residential matchmaking' throws her final gambit called a "direct confession" to Kim Hyun-joon one day before the final choice.
SBS' variety program 'Residential Matchmaking' has 10 single men and women who want to marry and 10 mothers who want their children to marry staying in one space for 5 nights and 6 days, a surreal reality dating show where mothers watch their children's romance up close. Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Yo-won and Kim Yo-han join as the three hosts, raising engagement with witty analysis, empathy and candid reactions. In addition, 'Residential Matchmaking' has continued its hit run, ranking No. 1 among viewers ages 20-49 in its time slot through the fourth episode.

In the fifth episode airing today (the 29th), mothers who had suddenly disappeared return one day before the final choice, causing a seismic shift in the schedule. The mothers from both families suddenly appear at the couples' excitement-filled date, and the date instantly turns into a "formal meeting between families," sharply raising tension. At the unexpected formal meeting, a person surnamed Kim shouted, "You should have let us date! Why did you make us do a matchmaking meeting?" and Jo Eun-na-rae said, "If I'd known it would be a formal meeting, I wouldn't have dressed like this," worrying about appropriateness, and a series of unexpected situations unfold. Word has it that a fierce storm of emotions also hits the couples and the mothers after the unexpected formal meeting.
Among them, Kim Hyun-jin, true to her role as the "Teto woman" representing 'Residential Matchmaking,' shakes up the game with a bold move. To make a final appeal to her preferred partner Kim Hyun-joon, Kim Hyun-jin forms a secret business partnership with a person surnamed Kim and launches into a strategy meeting. In the one-on-one conversation with Kim Hyun-joon that finally takes place, Kim Hyun-jin surprises not only Kim Hyun-joon but also the hosts by bluntly confessing, "Honestly, you know I have feelings for you." Seo Jang-hoon, overly invested, said, "If it were me, I'd boldly go after Hyun-jin at this timing," offering anxious advice that had those around him in stitches.
Whether Kim Hyun-jin's final gambit can move Kim Hyun-joon's heart and what changes the "formal meeting storm" that hit before the final choice will bring to the couples' love lines are causing expectations to soar.
