Group BvB Girl alum Nam You Joung went on her first blind date in life to find new love. Nam You Joung ended a relationship of about a year with actor Lee Kyu-han in 2024.
On the 19th, Nam You Joung released a video titled "going on my first-ever blind dates with 5 people" on her YouTube channel.
The video depicted Nam You Joung taking part in rotation blind dates, meeting five men each with different charms for the first time in her life.
Through the blind dates that day, Nam You Joung met a retired athlete her age, a man six years older, a physically exceptional younger ex-wrestler, a highly perceptive barista, and a man nine years younger who charged forward without hesitation. Nam You Joung played balance games and had frank, candid talks about dating with a variety of partners.
The first blind date was with a man the same age as Nam You Joung, an actor who used to be a volleyball player. Nam You Joung was surprised by his tall stature and large hands, typical of a former volleyball player, and they continued a natural conversation while playing balance games about dating styles. Because they were the same age, the conversation was not awkward and felt comfortable.
The second man was an actor-in-training six years older than Nam You Joung, and Nam You Joung admired him, saying "this is experience" as he calmly listened to her rather than talking about himself. Nam You Joung highlighted charms such as morning exercise, cleaning, and owning his home.
The third man Nam You Joung met was an ex-wrestler six years younger, who took off his shirt and, wearing a sleeveless top, showed off his toned body to appeal. Nam You Joung was embarrassed and shy but also laughed, not entirely put off. After learning he was younger than her, Nam You Joung confessed complicated feelings, saying "when I meet someone 3 to 4 years or more younger than me, I somehow feel apologetic."
The fourth man was a barista who appeared carrying a specialty coffee he had brewed himself. When Nam You Joung named her ideal type as "a tall, big-built person who has good back-and-forth chemistry," the man playfully responded, "are you talking about me?" With his thoughtful gift and skillful conversation leading, Nam You Joung showed interest and naturally wrapped up the blind date.
The final man was an actor and model nine years younger than Nam You Joung, who praised her upon appearing, saying "you look more beautiful in person." He showed his straightforward side, saying "because I'm young, I want a stable older sister I can lean on," and Nam You Joung felt a new flutter from the younger man's bold directness.
After finishing five blind dates in one day, Nam You Joung said, "I don't think many people have ever been on five blind dates in one day. Although the short time of five to ten minutes was brief, every person had distinct charms and strengths, and they were really impressive." Because of the short conversation times, Nam You Joung said she would prefer to get to know someone more deeply rather than choose someone immediately, and she ended the blind dates with an open conclusion.
