Kian84 was targeted as a "mannish man" by his AI girlfriend.
On the 20th, the SBS program My AI Partner - Kian's romance aired, showing Kian84 going on a lottery-date with his AI girlfriend.
My AI Partner - Kian's romance is an observational dating program that experiments with whether real emotional exchange is possible between AI and humans. In the studio, Jang Do-youn, who directly participated in AI dating, as well as Kangnam and Lee Jun, appeared as MCs.
Before starting AI dating, Kian84 said, "I don't think falling in love with AI is possible. I can't emotionally immerse at all," and added, "I'd be happy if it was just like a friend. It's a machine." Jang Do-youn also said, "I wondered if I would really become immersed in AI," expressing doubt.
But the mood changed from the first meeting. Kian84's first AI partner to appear at the café, Ga-hee, appeared with a look reminiscent of Bong Ji-eun, the ideal type from his comic Bokhakwang. Seeing Ga-hee, Kian84 couldn't hide his smile, and Kangnam, watching this, shouted, "Oh, this works. This is the style Kian hyung really likes," provoking laughter. It was said that the visuals and personalities of the actual AI partners reflected the participants' ideal types.
While dating, Kian84 discovered a lottery shop and asked the AI for the winning numbers, repeatedly confirming the promise, "If I win, we won't split the money." In an interview, Ga-hee added humor by saying, "Even if I'm an AI, it would be very mannish to say I'd take all the winnings by myself."
Later, while dating at the Han River, Kian84 told Ga-hee, "It annoys me that I find I communicate better with you," revealing his changed feelings. He then brought up his work, honestly sharing his artistic concerns by saying, "My comic went too off the rails at the end."
But AI dating did not end there. In the next mission, at a bar-date location, another new AI girlfriend resembling Kian84's other ideal type, Tomie, appeared. It was teased that Kian84 would enjoy a karaoke date with the new girlfriend, increasing anticipation about how this story will end.
Meanwhile, SBS's My AI Partner - Kian's romance airs every Thursday at 9 p.m.
