A Korean star experienced the fresh excitement and laughter of his very first blind date after being single for 32 years.
On the broadcast of KBS 2TV’s Mr. House Husband 2 on Augusr 29th, a special moment was arranged to celebrate Park Seo Jin’s birthday, featuring his first-ever blind date in 32 years.
The episode began with birthday celebrations for Park Seo Jin. Having been on the show for three years, Park expressed gratitude for being able to experience things he might not have dared to try alone. He added warm words, asking for continued support moving forward.
Then, another special challenge came for him: his first-ever blind date, set up by comedian Kim Young Hee. His date was comedian Hwang Hye Sun, who had previously sparked a subtle romantic vibe with Park Seo Jin on the show.
Meeting Hwang Hye Sun after a long time, Park Seo Jin couldn’t hide his shyness but showed attentiveness by remembering even small changes in her appearance. Notably, he recalled that she had tied her hair during their previous meeting, naturally revealing his interest. Hwang Hye Sun also expressed curiosity about Park Seo Jin after doing some research following the show, quickly creating a fresh and innocent atmosphere between them.
During their bowling date, Park Seo Jin’s quirky charm brought laughter. As a first-time bowler, he chose a heavy ball, wanting to appear strong but instead showing his clumsy side. The teams divided into Park Seo Jin and Hwang Hye Sun versus Park Hyo Jung and Kim Young Hee for a friendly wager. Unexpectedly, Park Seo Jin demonstrated surprising bowling skills, revealing a different side of himself.
Especially with Hwang Hye Sun’s encouragement, Park Seo Jin confessed, “It’s a different wavelength from Hyo Jung calling me ‘oppa,’” openly showing his excitement. Their natural physical closeness made their relationship feel even warmer.
After the bowling date, an unexpected twist unfolded as Hwang Hye Sun invited Park Seo Jin to her home. While preparing dinner together, they engaged in easy conversation, showing great chemistry. Park Seo Jin’s shy and flustered reaction to Hwang Hye Sun’s compliments added to his fresh appeal.
A special item that rekindled their connection appeared as well: a caricature Park Seo Jin had drawn during a previous episode, found at Hwang Hye Sun’s house. Moved that she kept the drawing, Park recalled when Hwang had offered her contact information instead of money for the artwork.
Though he had awkwardly avoided the moment out of shyness back then, this time he took courage and asked, “Is that still valid?” Ultimately, he received her contact information, opening new possibilities for their relationship.
However, it was revealed with surprise that Park Seo Jin had not yet contacted Hwang Hye Sun even after the broadcast. His hesitant step back after bravely securing her contact on his very first blind date brought smiles.
