Joo Byung-jin Sparks Romance with Second Match on 'Can We Love Again?'

Joo Byung-jin creates a romantic atmosphere with his second match.

On the November 11th episode of the tvN STORY variety show 'Can We Love Again?', Joo Byung-jin was seen going on a matchmaking date.

His first match was with artist Choi Ji-in. Joo Byung-jin expressed his fear of marriage, saying, "I've seen many people who separate after getting married, so I don't know if it's because of that fear or if it's just not the right time."

When asked if he has thought about marriage, Joo Byung-jin paused and said, "I might have unknowingly hurt others, but I've been really hurt myself. I'm afraid of people. I try not to make connections," explaining that he only meets people who are verified. Joo Byung-jin was involved in a 'honey trap incident' in 2000, and although he was acquitted three years later, he revealed that the experience left a significant trauma.

His second match was a 53-year-old Korean-Australian lawyer born in 1971, who immigrated to Australia during her senior year of high school. She currently works in Korea for a foreign investment company and is involved in company valuation after completing her MBA and practicing as an Australian lawyer.

Notably, Shin Hye-sun expressed her interest by saying, "When people asked about my ideal type 10 years ago, I used to say it was Joo Byung-jin." Joo Byung-jin responded nervously, "My lips are suddenly dry. They get dry when I'm nervous."

When asked if she had any marriage experience, Shin Hye-sun revealed, "I've never been married because of the fear and thought that I can't fail at it."

In an interview, Joo Byung-jin shared, "When I hear 'with Shin Hye-sun,' it sounds like 'God's gift.' We communicated very well," adding, "There were hardly any issues. I've let my guard down and am looking at it positively."
