Lee Soo-kyung Becomes Final Couple with 8-Year-Younger Um Bo-ram

Actress Lee Soo-kyung has become the final couple with Um Bo-ram, who is eight years her junior.

On the TV Chosun variety show 'Public Dating - The Private Life of an Actress' (hereafter 'The Private Life of an Actress'), which aired on the 24th, viewers saw Ye Ji-won, Oh Yoon-ah, and Lee Soo-kyung go on their final dates with their potential partners.

On this day, Lee Soo-kyung enjoyed dates with two of her potential partners just a day before the final selection. She shared a wine date with Um Bo-ram, who had joined as a wildcard and created a romantic atmosphere. They discussed realistic issues such as immigration and childbirth, as Um Bo-ram is a Korean expatriate running a coffee business in Brazil. Lee Soo-kyung asked, "What if your girlfriend is an actress and is busy filming for six months?" Um Bo-ram replied, "I would either travel back and forth or stay close by. I have that kind of flexibility."

In an interview, Um Bo-ram said, "I asked if she would meet me again when I return to Korea, and she quickly said yes. It feels like we've gotten closer." Lee Soo-kyung shared, "The time we spent together was comfortable, and we discovered new common interests like coffee and wine. I enjoyed the time we spent together."

Lee Soo-kyung and Kang Ho-sun headed to the lotus pavilion where they first met. Lee Soo-kyung reflected, "At first, I didn't understand. I'm not someone who asks questions, but he only responds when asked. I regret not approaching him sooner."

On the day of the final selection, both Kang Ho-sun and Um Bo-ram chose Lee Soo-kyung. Lee Soo-kyung tearfully rejected Kang Ho-sun's confession and accepted Um Bo-ram's proposal when he asked, "Will you come to Brazil?" She replied, "Yes, please make a lot of coffee," making them the final couple. When Lee Soo-kyung asked, "Have you ever thought about the eight-year age difference?" Um Bo-ram charmingly responded, "I won't call you 'noona' (older sister)."
