Woojae and Jiwon, Chan-hyung and Chae-eun from 'Heart Pairing' are paired for a 'Christmas Eve Date', achieving a 'romance rapid acceleration'.
In the 13th episode of Channel A's 'Heart Pairing', airing on the 6th, the residents who have spent three weeks together from romantic Italy to the 'real world' of Seoul will dive into a 'Christmas Eve Date' just a week before their final selection, immersing themselves further in their emotions.
Among them, Woojae and Jiwon, who have grown closer through 'first contract dating', and Chan-hyung and Chae-eun, who confirmed similar values and emotions in 'second contract dating', will be paired for the 'Christmas Eve Date' and head to Donghae.
Immediately after confirming their pairing, Woojae and Jiwon exchange words, saying, "We desperately wanted a date just for the two of us," and share shy smiles.
On the way to Donghae, Woojae candidly shares his feelings about quitting 'soccer', which he had challenged for a long time in Italy, saying, "The thing I felt most sorry for my parents in my life was...". Jiwon also recalls her childhood when she returned to being an ordinary student after majoring in Korean dance and preparing for college entrance exams, forming a special bond between the two.
While enjoying a romantic date in Donghae, Woojae surprises Jiwon with a 'surprise gift', saying, "I have something for you," which touches her heart.
The five MCs watching the screen in the studio—Yoon Jong-shin, Lee Chung-ah, Choi Si-won, Mimi, and Professor Park Ji-sun—are also moved, saying, "It's a one-of-a-kind gift, only for Jiwon," drawing attention to the identity of the gift prepared by Woojae. Additionally, when Woojae asks Jiwon, "What excited you the most about meeting me?" she responds without hesitation with a detailed answer, raising curiosity about when Jiwon felt 'heart-pounding' moments with Woojae.
Chan-hyung and Chae-eun also head to the beach in Goseong, Gangwon-do, diving into romance. Especially, Chan-hyung, a 'doctor and CEO' who has escaped his 'workaholic' routine for a while, returns to his childhood while playing around on the beach, and when 'fish' is served during their meal, he transforms into a 'fish surgeon' just for Chae-eun, saying, "I'm an expert at removing fish bones." Chae-eun, who is watching Chan-hyung's charm in his 'main job', admires, "I've never seen a man who removes fish bones so well." At that moment, Mimi suddenly asks Yoon Jong-shin, "Do you also remove fish bones well for your wife?" Yoon Jong-shin humorously replies, "My wife grew up by the beach, so she does it well on her own," causing laughter.
Moreover, while discussing their 'ideal type for a spouse', when Chae-eun asks, "Don't men consider external factors when choosing a marriage partner?" Chan-hyung gives a 'surprise answer' that satisfies everyone, making Chae-eun laugh. The scene of their date, where Chan-hyung's rarely seen 'cuteness' explodes, also draws attention.
The 'Christmas Eve Dates' of the 10 residents, along with the unpredictable situations that follow, can be seen in the 13th episode of Channel A's 'Heart Pairing' on June 6 at 10:50 PM.
