‘Groom Class’ Kim Il-woo finally goes on a date with Park Sun-young in Gangneung.

Episode 145 of Channel A‘s ‘These Days Men’s Life - Groom Class (hereafter referred to as ‘Groom Class’)’, which airs at 9:30 PM on Christmas Day (Wednesday, the 25th), will depict Kim Il-woo inviting Park Sun-young to Gangneung and enjoying a romantic date like a ‘Christmas Eve’.

On this day, Kim Il-woo waits for someone at Gangneung Station in his ‘Pretend Not to Know’ style, true to his ‘Gangneung Share’. After a while, Park Sun-young appears with a bright smile, carrying a large suitcase. Kim Il-woo quickly runs over and helps Park Sun-young with her luggage, and the ‘Mentor Corps’, who are watching in the studio, clap their hands like seals, saying, “That‘s it, that’s it!” In particular, Moon Se-yoon makes everyone burst into laughter by sharply pointing out, “(Park Sun-young‘s) luggage is a bit big. It feels like she’s going on a long-term date?”



In a sweet atmosphere, Kim Il-woo guides Park Sun-young to the Gangneung attractions that he had already visited in advance. Meanwhile, at ‘Wolhwa Street’, he shows her the ‘Wish Fish’, and she and Park Sun-young decide to each write down a wish. Kim Il-woo writes ‘SY(Sun-young), the lottery of my life♥’ without hesitation, and the ‘grooms’ Kim Jong-min is surprised when he sees this, saying, “Isn‘t this almost a proposal?“ Park Sun-young also responds to Kim Il-woo’s wish with a broad smile, then makes an unconventional suggestion, saying, ”If I win first prize (in the lottery), my brother and I...“ Hearing this, the ‘Mentor Corps’ open their mouths in surprise, saying, “Wow, this is amazing”, “No, what is this!”. Everyone is curious to see how Park Sun-young will react to Kim Il-woo‘s ‘Lotto Plotting’, and what she will say she wants to do with Kim Il-woo if she wins the ‘Lotto First Prize’.

After the ‘Wish Fish’ event, the two visit a nearby traditional market. The market merchants show interest in the affectionate two, asking, “Are you a married couple?” Kim Il-woo can’t hide his ‘clown ascension’ smile as he responds to the citizens‘ enthusiastic cheers by saying, “Do we look like a couple?”. Immediately after, he reveals his true feelings, “I think that if I were standing with Seon-yeong, people would mistake us for a couple.”.

What kind of special date did Kim Il-woo prepare for Park Seon-yeong, who came all the way to Gangneung? The exciting date scene of the two, as if it were Christmas, can be seen on Channel A’s ‘Groom Class’ Episode 145, which airs on Wednesday, the 25th at 9:30 PM.
