Chae Jeong-an, dating tips for people in their 20s
The ENA entertainment program 'Myeongdong Sarangbang', which first aired on the 27th, depicted a passionate group meeting among 16 college students to match them as couples.
‘Myeongdong Sarangbang’ is a program depicting a large group meeting held by close college students for two days and one night. On this day, the unusual self-introductions of a total of 16 cast members were revealed. Four people who are friends in real life formed a team and a total of four teams, including 'Yeondae Howae', 'Tok Blez', 'Taekwon Idol', and 'Ankkeum Foxy' appeared, and surprised the MCs by showing off their formidable charm.
After a short but powerful self-introduction, a 20-second exchange of glances took place. The cast members exchanged glances without hesitation, causing laughter at the scene with cheers and even screams. In response to this, MC Chae Jeong-an urged the cast members to burst into laughter, saying, "We've all seen the state of the face. Now you have to show off your charm. Come to your senses!"
At Charm Appeal Time, the vibrant charm of college students in their early 20s, full of energy, heated up the scene. From Shin Ji-hye of Tokblez, who performed New Jeans' 'Hype Boy' and 'Attention' choreography at a high level, to Taekwondo Idol's group defeat. The unpredictable charm and individuality of college students attracted attention.
There were also performers who showed off their great sense of entertainment. Je Ye-jin of the Angry Foxy team overwhelmed the crowd with a mind-blowing retro dance. MC Yang Se-chan couldn't hide his surprise, saying, "I should pick a comedian as my junior." Jeong In-chang of the Taekwondo Idol team showed model walking by taking advantage of his height, which is his advantage, and then showed off his four-dimensional charm by performing a surprise performance whose intention was unknown and even imitating Tanaka's vocal cords.
After the charm appeal, each team's strategy time was drawn ahead of the first impression selection. The four MCs, Seo Jang-hoon, Chae Jeong-an, Park Ha-sun, and Yang Se-chan, transformed into each team's dating managers and shared their own dating tips. At the same time, the subtle battle of nerves before choosing the best friends' first impressions was a fun point that could not be missed. Of the four members of the Angry Foxy team, three of them selected Taekwondo idol Jeong In-chang as their first pick, drawing attention.
In addition to the dating tips given by the MCs, the friendly tiki-taka between college students in their 20s and the MCs was one of the highlights of the day's broadcast. Seo Jang-hoon led the Yonsei University team, who was also his junior, with his explosive wit, Chae Jeong-an showed off the charm of a cool sister next door, Park Ha-sun showed 200% immersion in the meeting, and Yang Se-chan was a member of the MZ cast with his crazy sense of entertainment. They showed great chemistry with each other.
The first impression selection contest has finally begun. In the first impression selection competition where a man confesses to a woman, if he accepts the confession, he has to shout "I want to try it", and if he rejects the confession, he has to shout "Get out!" Because they have to keep trying again until they become a couple, there was a battle of wits about confessing to one's favorite person first, and realistic reactions between love and friendship.
As a result of the first impression selection, Taekwondo idol Song Da-bin and Dokbleiz's Yoo Hyeon-seo, Taekwondo idol Oh Jong-hoon and Angkumpoxie's Yang Saet-byeol, and Taekwondo idol Jeong In-chang and Dokbleize's Shin Ji-hye succeeded in the first couple matching. How many other couples have succeeded in the first round of matching? In the trailer released at the end of the broadcast, a truth game scene was captured with a heated battle of wits followed by the choice of first impression.
