Channel A entertainment program ‘Heart Pairing’ has proven its explosive popularity, and has even released a post-release video of its final epilogue in Italy, heating up the internet.

The dating entertainment program ‘Heart Pairing’, in which young men and women embark on serious ‘pairing’ to find their spouses, recently concluded its Italian schedule by forming an unprecedented ‘6-person chain relationship’ of Chae-eun → Chan-hyung → Ha-neul → Jimin → Je-yeon → Woo-jae, heightening viewers‘ interest to an all-time high.

In particular, in the 4th episode, Chae-eun, who works at a securities firm’s economic research institute, was newly introduced as a ‘cat girl’ and shook Chan-hyung, who has ‘monster specs’, without mercy, while Haneul, who formed a ‘confident pairing’ with Chan-hyung, caused chaos by throwing a plot that had been building up ‘won-i-ok’ during the last date that she chose Jimin.

In addition, the love triangle and war of nerves between Jimin and Woo-jae deepened due to the ‘lawyer fraud’ Je-yeon, while Chang-hwan and Ji-won, who succeeded in the ‘fated pairing’, foreshadowed an unexpected ‘difficulty’ during their schedule that started again in Seoul, raising dopamine to its peak.

The differentiated sensibility of the Italian background and the unpredictable love line captured the attention of viewers.

‘Heart Pairing’ ranked first on the ‘Non-drama TV-OTT Search Response’ chart for the third week of March compiled by Good Data Corporation.

‘Non-drama Cast Keyword TOP 10’, starting with Jimin in first place, Jeyeon, Jiwon, Woojae, Changhwan, Ha-neul, and Chanhyung took 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th places respectively, showing off the feat of having all cast members enter the TOP 10 in just 3 episodes.

‘Heart Pairing’ also maintained the top spot for two consecutive weeks in the ‘Non-drama TV-OTT Search Response’ in the 4th week of March, the 4th episode of the show, and ranked 1st among the target audience in their 20s and 30s, and even 2nd among teenagers, demonstrating the power of ‘Good Yeonp’ that both ‘MZ’ and ‘Genji’ love.
