MBN ‘Singles 6’ Siyoung♥Banggeul, Bomin♥Jeongmyeong, Heeyoung♥Jinyoung confirmed their strong love for each other in the ‘Final Choice’, making for a ‘happy ending’, creating the most couples ever.

The final episode of MBN ‘Singles 6’, which aired on the 28th, showed the last daily date scene of Siyoung♥Banggeul, Bomin♥Jeongmyeong, Heeyoung♥Jinyoung, who visited the ‘Singles House’ and were reborn as a ‘real couple’, as well as the results of their ‘Final Choice’, making for a ‘tightly closed happy ending’. Above all, in ‘Singles 6’, out of the four couples who became couples in the cable car ‘Final Selection’, three couples promised to continue meeting, setting a new record of ‘Most Couples Ever’ throughout the entire season. With a couple matching rate of a whopping 60%, the sincerity of ‘Singles’ was once again proven. The four MCs Lee Hye-young, Yoo Se-yoon, Lee Ji-hye, and Eun Ji-won congratulated them, saying, “I‘m watching ‘Singles’ for this flavor!”, and the viewers also enthusiastically cheered on the three couples.

The ‘Forever Couple’ Hee-young♥Jin-young, who had previously gone on a ‘2 Days & 1 Night’ trip alone, met Hee-young’s daughter at a kids‘ cafe that day. Hee-young’s daughter, who had gotten to know Jin-young through a video call beforehand, happily hugged him and exclaimed, “Sister!” as soon as she saw him. After that, the two had fun playing around various kids‘ cafes, and Hee-young’s daughter, whose excitement was high, said, “I know dad‘s girlfriend! Jin-young’s sister!” which made Jin-young happy. Jin-young also filled the empty spot of Hee-young, the “single dad”, by taking Hee-young‘s daughter to the women’s bathroom when she said, “I want to go to the bathroom.” When it was time to part ways, Hee-young‘s daughter said, “I want to play with Jin-young’s sister a little more,” and made a promise to meet again, saying, “We‘ll meet again later, right?” Here, Jinyoung nodded and added warmth by giving Heeyoung’s daughter a ‘cheek kiss’.

Following the day of the ‘Forever Couple’, this time Jeongmyeong was shown going down to Yangsan, Gyeongnam, Bomin‘s hometown. Jeongmyeong greeted the morning at the lodging that Bomin had arranged, and after getting all dolled up, went to meet Bomin’s older sister and nephew. Bomin‘s older sister welcomed Jeongmyeong warmly and said, “Bomin met a delicate and obedient woman in the meantime. That’s probably why things didn‘t work out for him,“ making everyone laugh with a bittersweet ‘cackle’. The older sister then said, “I’m so glad Bomin‘s face brightened up after appearing on ‘Singles for Singles’, expressing her gratitude to Jeongmyeong. Then, he started crying by saying, ”I lost a widow three years ago, and Bomin came home from work every day after that and acted like a dad to me,“ and then said, ”I hope Bomin flies away now. I will take good care of my parents, so I hope just the two of you can be happy from now on,“ touching both of them. After the sad meeting with his older sister, Jeongmyeong met Bomin’s mother, who was not on the schedule. Jeongmyeong entered the side dish shop run by his mother and showed interest in his mother‘s side dishes, saying, ”They look so delicious.“ His mother said, ”Just eat and go,“ and quickly prepared a meal for Jeongmyeong, and Jeongmyeong displayed his characteristic humor and emptied his plate clean. Seeing this, Bomin said, ”I was grateful that he ate so well even though there wasn’t a proper table or chair. He expressed his emotion, saying, “I‘ve been thinking of Jeongmyeong (as a Seoul nerd) wrongly all this time.”



Lastly, the story of Chang-hyun X Ji-an, who became ‘Hyun-kers’ through ‘Cable Car Final Choice’, but who told us the news that the filming of the sequel would be canceled, unfolded. The two who met after two weeks felt awkward, and after a while, Chang-hyun was the first to speak. Chang-hyun said, “We had different premises from the start”,” and “I only wanted the role of a ‘good adult’ for each other’s children, but Ji-an seemed to be of the position that ‘the child needs a father”.“ Ji-an responded, “Actually, more than that issue, I had a question about whether it was right to bring up the topic of children before our feelings had even developed. At some point, I even thought that maybe he wasn‘t really curious about me,” she said honestly. She then confessed, “I understood that (Chang-hyun) was going through a hard time because he suddenly quit his job, but I felt a sense of disconnection because there was nothing I could really do for him.” In particular, Ji-an mentioned a text message that Chang-hyun sent her that triggered her emotions and caused her to cancel the follow-up filming, and Chang-hyun checked the text message again and belatedly realized that Ji-an had misunderstood his intentions. The two, who resolved their misunderstanding through their meeting that day, said, “I think some of the old feelings have been resolved,” and said their final goodbyes. After that, they left the “Final Choice” stamp blank to see if they would continue meeting and went their separate ways.

After all the couples had finished their stories, the results of the “Final Choice” were revealed. Before making the ‘Final Choice’, Siyoung X Banggeul talked about ‘Fate,’ saying, “We would have met no matter what, right?” and chose each other saying, “We have no worries about our future relationship”. Heeyoung♥Jinyoung also said, “The time we spent on 2 Days & 1 Night felt like a dream” and stamped the ‘Final Choice’ box. Furthermore, Heeyoung♥Jinyoung added, “We are even thinking about remarriage”, raising expectations for ‘The 3rd Remarried Couple’. Finally, Bomin♥Jungmyeong received enthusiastic applause when they declared, “Despite the ‘long-distance’ barrier,”We will continue to meet”. After making the ‘Final Choice’,”Jungmyeong confessed, “I briefly met my father at Bomin’s mother‘s store. He handed me a note then and I was so touched”. After that, Jeong-myeong read the note from his father, “I love you, let’s make our bond stronger,” turning the studio into a sea of tears.

‘Singles 6,’ which created a total of three couples and set a record for ‘most couple matchings of all time,’ ended with a happy ending, and the four MCs unanimously said, “This season had a lot of particularly heartwarming moments.” ‘Godmother of Singles’ Lee Hye-young smiled and said, “‘Just as we have the ‘most couples of all time’, I also support the birth of the ‘most remarriage of all time’, and Eun Ji-won shared his warm thoughts, saying, “Since season 6 has become so popular by word of mouth, I want to meet all the singles who are considering appearing in season 7.‘Singles’, which has proven its overwhelming sincerity with the cinematic ‘fateful epic’ of singles who are desperate for love, is scheduled to return with season 7 in 2025.
