‘EXchange 4’ Concludes with Four Final Couples and Heartfelt Choices

‘EXchange 4’ has wrapped up its journey with the formation of four final couples.

In the finale of the TVING original series ‘EXchange 4,’ released on the 21st, singer Jennie joined as a guest. Jennie watched the residents' heartfelt decisions with deep immersion and offered her sincere support.

The residents struggled in their own ways to make the best choices between the past, present, and future until the very end. Some accepted their partner's decisions calmly, while others tried to hold onto their partners with earnest hearts. Ultimately, all processes concluded with a mature attitude prioritizing the happiness of their partners.

Hong Ji-yeon and Kim Woo-jin, Park Ji-hyun and Jung Won-kyu, who seemed unlikely to reunite, faced each other's true feelings at the last moment and reached the same decision. Their deepened affection and acceptance of each other's present showed a different form of love, exciting the MCs. The two couples continued to show their ongoing love, capturing the viewers' attention.

Sung Baek-hyun, who was confused between X and NEW, ultimately chose Choi Yoon-young, who made him smile the brightest, becoming a final couple. From the beginning, the two showed moments of certainty, building new times and relationships, and looking towards the same future. Park Hyun-ji and Jo Yoo-sik, who were anxious due to differences in values in Japan, made the most honest choice by holding each other's hands. However, their current status was not revealed, hinting that they might not be a couple anymore, leaving some disappointment.

The choices of Shin Seung-yong, Kwak Min-kyung, and Lee Jae-hyung, who did not end up as couples, also showcased another form of love unique to ‘EXchange 4.’ They faced their emotions honestly, respected their partners, and wished for their happiness, organizing their feelings in their own ways and growing, adding a touching element.

The courageous choices of the residents were met with enthusiastic support and empathy from the 4MCs. Kim Ye-won said, "There wasn't a single moment from the first to the last episode that wasn't surprising." Simon Dominic added, "I think it was the best season," with a smile. Jennie, who shared the most meaningful moments, expressed, "It was a grateful program that always gave dopamine. I was so happy to be part of the end of Season 4."

The young men and women in ‘EXchange 4’ paused at the crossroads of reunion and new encounters to face their true selves. Regardless of the outcome, all 11 residents showed growth through love and friendship, proving the significance of their choices. ‘EXchange 4’ concluded its long journey, demonstrating how courage and sincerity in the face of love can leave a profound impact.
