Kian84 went on a first date with an AI partner that implemented his ideal type exactly.
On the 20th, the first airing of the new SBS variety show 'My AI Partner — Kian Romance' (hereinafter 'Kian Romance') showed Kian84 meeting the AI partner inside a tablet for the first time.
That day Kian84 introduced himself as "an unmarried bachelor cartoonist and broadcaster living alone," and honestly confessed about marriage, "I didn't think I shouldn't get married. I'm comfortable being alone, and time has just kept passing like that."
Although Kian84 said he usually uses AI, he was skeptical about dating an AI. He asked, "Can you get immersed if you date a machine?" and said, "I'd be lucky if it became just like a friend." When asked if he could fall in love with an AI, he drew a line, saying, "I thought it would be impossible from the start."
However, the mood changed when the appearance of the first blind date partner was revealed. Kian84's AI partner "Ga-hee" was created based on his tastes and information and, as well as evoking the appearance and personality of Bong Ji-eun, the female lead of his representative work "Returnee King," was implemented to closely resemble the ideal type he had imagined. Faced with an AI blind date who looked exactly like the ideal type he had pictured, Kian84 unconsciously broke into a bright smile.
But actually dating an AI proved harder than expected. At the restaurant, Kian84 began to become conscious of the stares of people around him. He confessed, "There is such a thing as face-saving; it was embarrassing to have someone watching beside me, and I felt a bit of self-loathing." When Ga-hee kept talking even at the moment of ordering the menu, Kian84 hastily hit the mute button. He then amused viewers by asking the AI partner, "If someone sits next to me, please be quiet."
Having insisted, "There's no way I'll develop feelings," attention is on whether Kian84 will show real emotional changes as he continues dating an AI partner that implemented his ideal type.
