Joo Byeong-jin visited a tarot shop in Hongdae with his 22-year-younger matchmaker Choi Ji-in to check their compatibility.
In the episode of tvN story's entertainment show 'Can We Love Now' aired on the 16th, the two grew closer while sharing a heartfelt lunchbox prepared by Choi Ji-in.
Choi Ji-in asked 66-year-old Joo Byeong-jin, “Why haven’t you married yet?” and Joo Byeong-jin replied, “I have 58,000 reasons, but I tried to eliminate anything that could be a burden, only to encounter an unexpected obstacle,” adding, “The powerful obstacle of ‘age’ appeared and started to attack me.” He continued, “I say I have no regrets, but in fact, I have given up, I have surrendered.”
In an interview with the production team, Joo Byeong-jin said, “I thought it was a bit of a burdensome question to discuss only the current feelings. If we were both younger, we might have felt emotions differently because it’s an age full of passion. I felt it was something I couldn’t dare to talk about.”
The fortune teller who checked their tarot compatibility continued, “Choi Ji-in, who drew the card of lovers kissing, shows that the woman is expressing herself actively,” calling it “the best card.”
The fortune teller predicted, “Once it starts, it will progress quickly. Marriage could also pick up speed,” adding, “There is fortune for children. If you have children, it will be a son.”
