Actor Lee Jeong-jin makes a sudden comeback to 'Groom School 2' and declares a "second attempt at dating."
On the 4th episode of Channel A's 'Groom School 2,' which airs at 10 p.m. on the 9th (Thursday), Lee Jeong-jin, who built the "daejjok-i" character—whose stern charm put him a notch above Geumjjok-i—during season 1 of 'Groom School,' reappears in the studio, where a scene unfolds in which the studio MCs unleash a torrent of teasing(?) on him.
Seated in the studio that day, Lee Jeong-jin announces that he is making a second attempt at dating, saying, "I'm a senior in class 4-7 who has returned to Groom School." 'Student dean' Tak Jae-Hoon fires a blunt question at him from the start, saying, "Why does this person wander around so much?" He then adds, "(Because the person he met earlier) said they didn't like him, so now you're meeting someone else? Oh, how embarrassing..." expressing "vicarious shame," which draws laughter. Embarrassed but sincere, Lee Jeong-jin admits, "There are many shortcomings, so I always have to learn," and declares, "It's not re-enrollment; it's a re-challenge," revealing his unique ambition. Tak Jae-Hoon retorts, "What is this, a quiz show? Why do you keep challenging yourself?" displaying a manic chemistry. Even 'freshman' Seo Jun-young joins in teasing the "daejjok-i," saying, "I'll take senior Lee Jeong-jin as a cautionary example and act the opposite," which makes everyone burst out laughing.
As the studio is filled with laughter, Lee Jeong-jin reveals his unchanged "old house single life." Seeing this, 'dating chief' Song Hae-na laments, "From the start the BGM is depressing. It's bleak..." Meanwhile, a friend calls Lee Jeong-jin, and he suddenly heads to a cafe in Yangpyeong for an impromptu blind date. Shortly after, Lee Jeong-jin and all the studio cast are stunned into a collective "freeze" by surprise at the identity(?) of the blind date woman. All eyes are on who the blind date woman is, the one who left everyone speechless.
Meanwhile, Groom School 2 continues its popularity surge by vividly broadcasting the deepening dates of 'enrolled student' Kim Sung-su and the blind dates and dates of 'freshmen' Jin Yi-han and Seo Jun-young, stimulating viewers' romantic instincts. As a result, in Good Data Corporation's compiled week 4 of March 'Non-drama cast keyword TOP10,' it rose vertically in ranking compared with the previous week, securing 2nd place (Groom School 2's Park So-yoon) and 3rd place (Groom School 2's Kim Sung-su), proving its growing buzz.
