Korean Actor Park Hyung-jun Goes on a Blind Date with Fashion Designer

Korean actor Park Hyung-jun recently went on a blind date with a fashion designer who is six years his junior.

On the October 23rd episode of tvN STORY's 'Can We Love Again?', the matchmaking scene featuring Park Hyung-jun was revealed.

Park Hyung-jun, a prominent teen actor from the 1990s, shared his thoughts on joining the dating show, saying, "I'm usually shy and not good at dating. I don't know if this is my destiny, but here I am. I'm cautious and don't talk much until things are finalized."

When asked about why he hasn't married yet, Park confessed, "I didn't think I was qualified. It's hard enough living alone. I have nothing to offer." He continued, "I wondered if my life would end without marriage or children, without giving my parents grandchildren. I was afraid of marriage. Now, as a middle-aged man, I wonder if I can still get married. I feel I need to be more prepared and complete before I can start loving someone. I've been preparing for this until now, but I hope to meet a good match."

Park Hyung-jun went on the date, admitting, "I bought a suit because I didn't have anything suitable to wear," showing his nervousness.

His date, Jeon Hee-jung, born in 1976, is six years younger than Park. She works in the fashion industry as a designer and consultant, and speaks Chinese and English. Jeon explained her reason for appearing on the show, saying, "I lived in Shanghai for 10 years and missed the right time for marriage. In foreign countries, there's no interference in personal life, so I didn't realize I was late for marriage. Now, I feel I need to take charge of my destiny."

The two shared a common interest in sports and went on a tennis date.

Park commented, "She's an impressive woman. She's articulate, charismatic, and athletic." He expressed his interest by asking, "If we meet again, what sport would you like to try?" He added, "Looking into her eyes and face, I wondered if this was real. Her first impression was fantastic."

Jeon suggested, "A bike ride along the Han River would be nice." Park was thrilled, saying, "She's my ideal type. Tennis, cycling, surfing—she's everything I hoped for."

In an interview with the production team, Jeon praised Park's manners, saying, "He has almost perfect manners." Park reciprocated, "Her manners are excellent. I'd give her 100 out of 10."

During dinner, Park asked Jeon, "Did you enjoy today? Would you like to meet again?" Jeon replied, "I had a great time and would like to meet again," hinting at a potential romance.

Born in 1970, Park Hyung-jun debuted as an actor in 1989 as part of MBC's 19th talent recruitment class.
