Lee Si-won's plush-toy date heats up as Ji-hae Park makes her move
On KBS 2TV's Noona is a Woman 2, Lee Si-won and Choi Yujin grow closer while Ji-hae Park confronts Kim Jeong-won's mixed signals.
The love lines of the cast members on KBS 2TV's 'Noona is a Woman 2' are in turmoil. The broadcast on the 15th featured the first 'Random Date' held after the cast's ages were revealed. Through a draw, the participants were split into 'Retro Date (OLD)' and 'MZ Date (NEW)' groups to spend time together.
Lee Si-won and Choi Yujin, grouped in the 'NEW' group, appeared to grow close enough to make their 12-year age gap irrelevant. During an arcade date, the distance between the two closed significantly after Lee Si-won won a plush toy and handed it to her, followed by natural skinship during their subsequent photo studio date. Watching them, MC Han Hye Jin and DinDin expressed excitement over the pair's relationship.
In a written interview, Lee Si-won revealed that he usually prefers mature individuals and is open to older women. He stated, "Once my heart is set on one person, I try to distance myself from other women," but he has recently shown signs of moving toward Choi Yujin from his current relationship with Gu Ji-seung, piquing viewers' curiosity.
Ji-hye Park, Lee Jin-young, and Lee Jun-han's Conflicting Choices Surrounding Kim Jeong-won
The atmosphere in the 'OLD' group was intense. Ji-hye Park showed a bold, direct pursuit of Kim Jeong-won. The two enjoyed bumper cars and a photo studio date, engaging in daring skinship, with Ji-hye Park confessing that she laughs most naturally when she is with Kim Jeong-won.
However, the love lines were overturned during the 'Pandora QR' verification process immediately following the dates. Ji-hye Park discovered that Kim Jeong-won had chosen Lee Jin-young consistently, except for the first day. Meanwhile, Lee Jin-young's feelings deepened upon confirming Kim Jeong-won's unwavering devotion. Kim Jeong-won fell into confusion upon learning that Ji-hye Park's final choice was him.
During a one-on-one conversation, Ji-hye Park expressed direct interest in Kim Jeong-won, but he avoided giving a definitive answer. Immediately afterward, when Kim Jeong-won was caught attempting skinship with Lee Jin-young, Ji-hye Park turned away coldly. Toward the end of the broadcast, Lee Jun-han joined the fray by declaring his direct pursuit of Ji-hye Park, continuing the psychological warfare among the four.
Lee Jin-young's Comfort Turns Yoo Jin-woo's Heart
Meanwhile, Yoo Jin-woo of the 'NEW' group also experienced an emotional shift. Giving up his feelings for Ji-hye Park, Yoo Jin-woo turned his heart toward Lee Jin-young, who comforted him. When Lee Jin-young won a plush toy at the arcade that Yoo Jin-woo had wanted, he expressed his gratitude by dropping to his knees. At the photo studio, Yoo Jin-woo actively approached Lee Jin-young, and Lee Jin-young admitted to feeling fluttered by Yoo Jin-woo's appearance.
