Actor Jin Yi-han (47) has promised a second date after a successful first meeting with Jung Yi-joo, a hospital worker 11 years his junior, creating a romantic atmosphere.

On the October 19th episode of Channel A's variety show 'Groom Class 2,' hosted by Lee Seung-chul, Tak Jae-hoon, and Song Hae-na, viewers witnessed Jin Yi-han's first blind date, which was arranged by Tak Jae-hoon's recommendation.

Jin Yi-han Impressed by 170cm Jung Yi-joo: "More Beautiful Than I Imagined"

The episode showcased Jin Yi-han's first blind date, where he anxiously awaited his date at a café. Upon meeting Jung Yi-joo, who stands at 170cm with striking eyes and a bright smile, Jin Yi-han couldn't hide his delight. He expressed his admiration, saying, "You're more beautiful than I imagined," and even ordered 'Pink Chamomile' tea, following Jung Yi-joo's choice, instead of his usual coffee, much to the amusement of his friend Tak Jae-hoon.

In the sweet atmosphere, Jin Yi-han accurately guessed Jung Yi-joo's blood type and shoe size, and they discovered similar MBTI personality types, forming a connection. When Jung Yi-joo mentioned her ideal type as a "reliable man," Jin Yi-han confidently stated, "I used to have broad shoulders." He also reassured her, "There won't be any conflicts," when she expressed her dislike for men who avoid conflicts.

From Samgyetang Restaurant to Bowling Alley: Displaying Thoughtful Manners

As the date progressed, Jin Yi-han suggested, "Shall we go for some nourishing food if you're hungry?" and took Jung Yi-joo to his favorite 'Samgyetang' (ginseng chicken soup) restaurant. During the meal, when Jung Yi-joo mentioned the chicken was heavy, Jin Yi-han sweetly transferred the meat to her plate. However, as he focused on his meal, the three MCs humorously pointed out, "You should have shredded the chicken for her!"

After the meal, Jin Yi-han proposed a third activity, "Let's go bowling," and took Jung Yi-joo to a bowling alley he frequents. He thoughtfully applied protective bands on her fingers to prevent any damage to her nails. They shared a high-five after a successful strike, adding a touch of excitement to their interaction.

"Next Time, Let's Do What You Want": Promising a Second Date

At the end of the date, Jin Yi-han expressed his admiration, saying, "You're very beautiful and charming," and Jung Yi-joo responded, "I felt like I met a man as smooth as a cup of coffee." Jin Yi-han then promised a second date, saying, "Next time, let's do what you want to do."
