MBN‘s ‘Singles 6’ produced the most couples ever with a total of four pairs: Heeyoung-Jinyoung, Bomin-Jeongmyeong, Changhyun-Jian, and Siyoung-Banggeul.

In the 9th episode of ‘Singles 6’ on the 7th, 10 single men and women, Miyoung-Banggeul-Bomin-Seongseo-Siyoung-Jeongmyeong-Jian-Jinyoung-Changhyun-Heeyoung, confirmed their true feelings for each other through the ‘Cable Car Final Selection’ and became the final couple.

The day before the ‘Final Selection’, Seongseo-Miyoung and Heeyoung-Jinyoung went on one last 1:1 date. The 4 MCs Lee Hye-young, Yoo Se-yoon, Lee Ji-hye, and Eun Ji-won expected that Seong-seo and Mi-young’s date would “go well suddenly since they went out without any pressure,” but the two ended the date as friends who support each other.

On the other hand, Hee-young and Jin-young took each other‘s pictures and even gave each other massages, showing a “lover’s mood” that rapidly increased the “thrill index.” The two made pizza together at the tomato farm and fed each other food without hesitation while talking endlessly. Hee-young also couldn‘t stand the cute sight of Jin-young imitating his son, so she stroked his chin and showed her affection, making the 4 MCs envious. On the way back to the ‘Dolsing House’ after their sweet date, Hee-young and Jin-young naturally held hands.

Meanwhile, Chang-hyun, who was left at the ‘Dolsing House’, headed to Ji-an’s room, where she had a ‘catastrophic breakdown’ the day before, and said in detail, “Come eat slowly~”. He kept his promise to make aglio olio for Ji-an during their date the day before, even in the awkward atmosphere. Ji-an couldn‘t make eye contact while eating Chang-hyun’s pasta, but Chang-hyun calmly revealed his honest feelings to her. He confessed, “In fact, I was sad about your notification yesterday, but since I also expressed my feelings to you and talked to Jin-young late about ending our relationship, I concluded that I should understand your change of heart.“ Then, he asked, ”Are you nervous when you‘re with me?“ and Ji-an gave a surprising answer, ”It’s true that I get nervous when I‘m with you.“ In response, Chang-hyun confessed, ”I also get nervous even when I’m talking to you,“ expressing his continued affection. Ji-an explained, ”I was just at the stage of wanting to get to know you, but my feelings weren‘t big enough to express them, so I think yesterday’s situation was uncomfortable,“ and left it open by saying, ”Let‘s talk again tonight.“

After finishing their last date, the single men and women returned to their lodgings and talked long and hard until late at night. Si-young gave Jeong-myeong advice, saying, ”I will choose (Bang-geul), but I don’t think we can become a couple,“ and Bang-geul called his mother from his room alone and confessed his confused feelings, saying, ”I‘m not sure about my feelings.“ Changhyun and Ji-an talked in the caravan as promised during the day, and Ji-an said, ”I usually joke around a lot, but I seem to get stressed when serious situations keep happening.“ Changhyun admitted, ”I see. To be honest, I’m serious and a model student.“ He then said, ”You don‘t have to make the final choice, but if you have any difficulties raising a child, just contact me anytime,“ to ease Ji-an’s burden, and Ji-an laughed and said, ”There‘s nothing inconvenient right now (because I’m with you).“

The next day, the ‘Singles‘ signature ‘Cable Car Final Selection’ took place. Mi-young’s cable car arrived at the arrivals area where the single men were first, but was not selected by anyone. Mi-young, who got off the cable car alone, said, ”I met such great friends through ‘Singles 6’ and it was such a happy time,“ expressing her thoughts so far. Next, when the cable car that Jeong-myeong was riding arrived, Bo-min got on right away as everyone expected. Bo-min tearfully told Jeong-myeong, ”Thank you for finding my smiling face,“ and Jeong-myeong said, ”Let‘s get up now,“ holding Bo-min’s hand and getting off together. The two who became the first final couple smiled brightly, saying, ”We‘ll try to match each other’s tension,“ and right after, ‘The Country Life of a Seoul Gwakjaengi’ was teased, raising curiosity about the next episode.

Ji-an unexpectedly showed a bright appearance after getting on the cable car. Chang-hyun got on the cable car right away at the sight of Ji-an smiling cutely, and confessed, ”I didn‘t regret a single minute or second.“ Ji-an responded with a dimpled smile, and they got off the cable car holding hands. The two, who became the ‘2nd couple’, said, “Even if there are parts that don’t match up, we‘ll try to get along’, and along with this, the preview caption ‘A thrilling sequel’ popped up, making the 4MCs’ hearts flutter. Jin-young also walked out of the cable car with Hee-young without a hitch, becoming the third official couple, and the 4MCs cheered him on, saying, “It looks like they‘ll be the third remarried couple”. Finally, Bang-geul’s eyes were red before he even got on the cable car, but he got off the cable car holding Si-young‘s hand, who had been by his side all along, and received everyone’s enthusiastic congratulations as the fourth couple. Immediately after, Bang-geul declared, “It doesn‘t matter, now, whatever happens happens”, and the preview caption for their sequel, ‘A slow couple’s Jeju Island speed dating’, made the viewers‘ hearts flutter. Seong-seo, who gave up on the final choice, expressed his thoughts, saying, “It became an opportunity to rekindle (love),” and ended his romantic journey so far.

‘Singles 6’, which created as many as four ‘the most couples of all time’, will show episodes starting next week that contain the real-life relationships and current status outside the ‘Singles House’ of Hee-young-Jin-young, Bo-min-Jeong-myeong, Chang-hyun-Ji-an, and Si-young-Bang-geul. Episode 10 of ‘Singles 6’ will air on MBN at 10:20 PM on the 14th (Thursday).
