Park Jae-hong, 10 billion won worth of assets is useless

Park Jae-hong, known as a 'billionaire,' failed his first blind date.

On the TV Chosun show 'Joseon's Love Match' aired on the 9th, 'middle-aged bachelor' Park Jae-hong was seen going on a blind date.

On this day, Shim Hyun-seop arranged a blind date for Park Jae-hong. His date was Lee Ha-neul, a freelance show host in her 30s. The panelists were impressed by her appearance, saying, 'She is stunning, like an idol.'

Park Jae-hong introduced himself, saying, 'I used to be a player, and now I work as a baseball commentator.' Lee Ha-neul responded, 'That's all I know. I was curious but held back. I wanted to get to know you as you are.' However, Park Jae-hong seemed nervous and struggled to lead the conversation.

When asked about his ideal type, Park Jae-hong said, 'Someone with a kind image and good personality.' Lee Ha-neul described her type as 'a manly person, with a good facial impression and eyes.' Park Jae-hong boldly asked, 'What do you think of me?' to which Lee Ha-neul replied, 'I like you very much.'

Lee Ha-neul expressed her desire to continue working even after getting married and becoming a grandmother. Park Jae-hong confessed that his future goal is marriage and asked for a follow-up date. Lee Ha-neul readily agreed, and the two headed to another location to spend more time together.

After the date, Park Jae-hong commented, 'She seems like a nice person. It was really tough; I was very nervous since it was my first time, and I had many thoughts.' A week later, matchmaker Shim Hyun-seop revealed, 'The first blind date failed; they decided to remain good friends.'
