Actor Yoon Hyun-min, who recently ended a seven-year public relationship with Baek Jin-hee in 2023, is set to go on his first-ever blind date.
On October 26 at 9 PM, SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (also known as 'My Ugly Duckling') will feature 'heartthrob' Tak Jae-hoon and Kim Hee-chul orchestrating a 'blind date avatar' for 'dating novice' Lim Won-hee and Yoon Hyun-min.
In a recent studio recording of 'My Little Old Boy,' Lim Won-hee, known for his 'blind date failures,' and Yoon Hyun-min, a 'blind date rookie,' receive assistance from the show's official 'heartthrobs' Tak Jae-hoon and Kim Hee-chul for a '2-on-2 avatar blind date.' Tak Jae-hoon, famed for his legendary 'avatar blind date' skills, along with Kim Hee-chul, secretly guide the duo from behind the scenes, instructing them, "Do nothing except what we tell you," adding tension to the atmosphere.
Soon after, two women arrive for the 2-on-2 blind date with Lim Won-hee and Yoon Hyun-min, capturing the attention of both the studio and the set. As the date begins, Tak Jae-hoon and Kim Hee-chul, observing from a hidden location, start issuing commands to Lim Won-hee and Yoon Hyun-min. The duo struggles to hide their embarrassment with each directive, leading to multiple moments of crisis. Notably, during the date, Yoon Hyun-min unexpectedly removes his shirt, while Lim Won-hee surprises everyone with an impromptu serenade, causing chaos in the studio.
Lim Won-hee, often pitied for his awkwardness and lack of confidence on dates, surprises everyone with a dramatic transformation during the avatar blind date. His unexpected physical gestures and bold declaration of "Let's start dating today" shock even Tak Jae-hoon and Kim Hee-chul, drastically changing the atmosphere. The women's reactions to these surprises reportedly left the studio in an uproar.
