As a new romance begins with the honest stories of the cast of 'Seeking Old Relationships' Season 3, a late-night drive date between Lee Gyu-han and Solbi has been realized.
On the 28th, KBS Joy, KBS2, and GTV aired 'Seeking Old Relationships' (hereafter 'Omanchu'), showcasing the first meeting of the eight cast members of Season 3, including Song Byeong-cheol, Lee Gyu-han, Park Kwang-jae, Lee Kyun, Jang So-yeon, Hwang Bo, Solbi, and Hong Ja. They began a journey to rekindle feelings from their long-standing connections through self-introductions.
The most attention-grabbing moment was the reappearance of Season 2 member Park Kwang-jae. He revealed, "If it was painful, it was an experience; if it was good, it was a memory. Since I had an experience in Season 2, I want to create good memories this time," explaining his reason for returning in Season 3.
He continued, "I've never done a melodrama in a drama or movie. I want to shoot a melodrama here that I haven't been able to do," expressing his determination. There is keen interest in whether he can become the protagonist of a romance film in this season.
Lee Gyu-han attracted attention with his sincere self-introduction. He confessed, "Looking back on my acting life in my 40s, I regret not having friends. I had no one to share my true feelings with," and added, "I had an inferiority complex. At some point, my colleagues looked like competitors to me." Solbi expressed her interest in him, saying, "His trembling voice came across as genuine."
Hong Ja revealed an unexpected side, saying, "I don't like exercising, but I'm good at CrossFit, golf, and tennis," and showcased her quirky charm by stating, "I'm afraid of water, but I recently got a boat license." Solbi expressed confidence, saying, "I never had a failed attempt at dating. When I set my mind to it, I succeeded in love," and piqued curiosity by mentioning, "There is someone I wish would approach me."
Song Byeong-cheol said, "I didn't know how to start a date. I wanted to revive my dating instincts," and revealed that he quit smoking five years ago. He also caught attention by describing his ideal type as someone who doesn't drink or smoke and speaks beautifully. Jang So-yeon expressed her interest in him, saying, "He looks healthy both physically and mentally," and surprised everyone by introducing herself in five languages: Yanbian dialect, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
The reunion of Hwang Bo and Lee Kyun was dramatic. The two first met in 2003 on KBS's 'Mountain Lodge Meeting - War of Roses,' and Lee Kyun honestly confessed, "I quite liked her when I was younger." Hwang Bo remarked, "I remember Lee Kyun being very shy; was it because he liked me? It made me think seriously," hinting at the potential development of their long-standing relationship.
After the self-introductions, the first impression voting took place. In this season, only couples who felt a connection could go on a one-on-one late-night drive date, and Lee Gyu-han and Solbi caught attention by choosing each other.
Solbi said, "Hearing his self-introduction, he seemed like a new person. I became curious about what he would be like when it's just the two of us," while Lee Gyu-han explained his choice, saying, "He has always made me happy, and I think it would be even more enjoyable together."
The preview for the next week, released after the broadcast, featured Lee Gyu-han and Solbi's late-night drive date and the beginning of their journey together. Notably, the first date of this journey will be determined by the female participants' choices, which could influence the love lines of Season 3.
