In Channel A’s ‘Heart Pairing’, Woojae and Jeyeon revealed differences in their values regarding ‘newlywed home’ and ‘dream car’, revealing cracks in their growing love line.

On the 6th episode of Channel A’s dating program ‘Heart Pairing’ that aired on the 18th, the daily lives of the 8 residents who started their ‘second act’ at ‘Seoul Pairing House’ - Woojae, Jeyeon, Jimin, Jiwon, Chanhyung, Changhwan, Chaeeun, and Ha-neul - on their 2nd and 3rd days of moving in were revealed.After returning to Seoul and starting their own daily lives, they began to actively request 1:1 dates and conversations with those they like, showing their full-fledged moves.

In this day’s broadcast, a new ‘contract relationship’ rule was also revealed that will allow the participants to get to know each other more deeply.As a result of choosing the 1st and 2nd place partners for the ‘contract relationship’ where participants can ‘go all-in’ on each other for 3 days including the weekend, the ‘fated pairing’ partners, Chang-hwan and Ji-won, took a step back as if they felt burdened by the 15-year age difference, leaving a sense of regret.

Having revealed their occupations and ages the night before, they headed to work the next morning.Woojae suggested a carpool to Jeyeon, who had a similar destination, and promised to give her a ride after work.The two met again in the evening, and instead of going straight to the ‘Pairing House,’ they had dinner together and had a 1:1 date.Woojae, a ‘painter,’ and Jeyeon, a ‘lawyer,’ chatted about Woojae’s art work, but when talking about Jeyeon’s work, Woojae was a bit passive, and the conversation often stopped.On the way home, Woojae said to Jeyeon, “I’ve been living in Haebangchon since I came to Seoul in 2016, so this place feels like my second home.Gangnam is complicated, so it’s a bit…(not preferred).” In Woojae’s ‘Pairing Book’, his preferred newlywed home was listed as ‘Huam-dong(Haebangchon)’, while Jeyeon, who chose ‘Jamsil’, which is close to Gangnam, as her preferred area, quietly nodded her head.After that, Woojae asked Jeyeon about her ‘dream car’, and while Jeyeon shyly mentioned her ‘dream car’, Woojae said, “I’m a person who lives according to the situation”, and the two, who confirmed their very different tastes, fell into an awkward silence.

Jimin, Jiwon, Chanhyung, Changhwan, and Ha-neul, who returned to the ‘Pairing House’ one by one, ate dinner prepared by Changhwan together.At this time, Jimin naturally declined Ha-neul’s offer to ‘pick him up after work’ the next day, and his expression hardened when he realized belatedly that Woojae and Jeyeon were on a 1:1 date.Changhwan, who had confirmed the ‘15-year age difference’ with Jiwon the day before, was also upset.As Changhwan intentionally avoided talking to Jiwon during the meal, Jiwon also became increasingly silent.At night, the eight residents went to their respective rooms and spent time texting their crushes.Jiwon sent a text message to Changhwan, but Changhwan sent a message to Ha-neul, who helped prepare the meal, saying, “From my perspective, (the 15-year age difference)seems unavoidable.” Additionally, a notice was sent asking for “choose two people you want to get to know more seriously through a contract relationship,” and Woojae mentioned Jiwon in addition to Jeyeon, whom he had been developing feelings for, and Jimin clearly stated his intention to “go straight ahead,” saying, “Even if I know(that Jeyeon and I)won’t work out, Jeyeon is my style, and there isn’t enough time to just go ‘all in.’”

On the third day of ‘Pairing House’, Je-yeon, the ‘dinner in charge’ for that day, took good care of Chae-eun, who was in quarantine due to the flu, while also making tteok mandu guk for dinner and serving it to Woo-jae, Jimin, Chang-hwan, and Haneul.Outside, Ji-won asked Chan-hyung to ‘pick her up’ first, and the two went on a 1:1 date alone.The two, who had not met in Italy, had a more comfortable conversation than expected and built a new sense of goodwill.At the same time, in ‘Pairing House’ where the five people had finished dinner, the ‘Growling Incident’ broke out when Jimin overheard Je-yeon’s stomach ‘growling’ all by himself.Jimin approached Je-yeon, who moved away in embarrassment, and played a joke on him, which led to a natural 1:1 conversation.Jimin expressed his ‘respect’ for Je-yeon’s dream of becoming a ‘lawyer’ since middle school and finding fulfillment in her job, and then revealed his honest story, saying, “I walked a stable path that is accepted in society, so I had no dreams or goals,” showing Je-yeon a different kind of charm.After that, the two focused on each other’s conversation for a long time, such as mentioning the drama ‘Seonjae Upgo Ttawi’ that the two of them watched alone and building a bond over ‘Pure Love’.

As night fell, the eight residents moved around busily to appeal to those who wanted to do a ‘contract relationship’ with them.Woojae, who visited Jeyeon’s room, asked how Haru was doing and invited her, saying, “I think an exhibition will be set soon, so you should definitely come,” but he didn’t mention the ‘contract relationship’ separately.After a while, Jimin also went to Jeyeon’s room, and asked, “Am I among those who are thinking about a ‘contract relationship’ ?” Then, Jimin confessed his heart fluttering feelings by saying, “If so, do a contract relationship with me,” making Jeyeon burst out laughing.

In this way, in the love triangle that was solidifying as ‘Woo Jae-yeon(Woo Jae + Je-yeon)’, as Jimin gets one step closer to Je-yeon’s heart, the possibility of ‘Ji Je-yeon(Jimin + Je-yeon)’ increased, the results of today’s deduction revealed that the 1st and 2nd ‘contract relationship’ partners chosen by the men were Je-yeon-Ji-won(Woo Jae), Chae-eun-Je-yeon(Chang-hwan), Ji-won-Haneul(Chan-hyung), and Je-yeon-Haneul(Jimin).The women’s choices were Chan-hyung-Chang-hwan(Chae-eun), Chan-hyung-Ji-min(Haneul), Chan-hyung-Woo Jae(Ji-won), and Woojae-Ji-min(Je-yeon).In addition, immediately after the results were announced, Yoon Jong-shin aroused curiosity by saying, “The ‘contract relationship’ of the 8 residents will be matched in the order in which they responded to the text proposals on a first-come, first-served basis,” and “The matching results of the four couples will be revealed in the next broadcast.”

The scene of a ‘contract relationship’ where the two can go ‘all-in’ on each other while communicating through their own SNS for 3 days can be seen on the 7th episode of ‘Heart Pairing’ on Channel A at 10:50 PM on Friday, the 25th.
