Former national judo representative Cho Jun-hyun and sports announcer So I-won continued to meet even after their initial blind date, but the two presented conflicting views regarding communication issues.
On Channel A’s variety program ‘Groom’s Class 2,’ broadcast on the 16th, the scene of Cho Jun-hyun and So I-won’s second date was revealed.
On this day, Cho Jun-hyun disclosed that he had also met So I-won privately after their first blind date. He said, “After our first date, we separately had a so-maek (soju mixed with beer) drink and went to a karaoke bar after filming ended.”
He then expressed affection for So I-won’s charm, saying, “She is incredibly pure, bright, and has positive energy. Thirdly, she is pretty.” So I-won also showed favorability, stating, “I found her equally funny in private settings, so that was nice,” and adding, “Because I can feel that she expresses interest, being proactive seems to be a charm as well.”
However, she candidly confessed, “On the other hand, there is a feeling that while she expresses a lot, there is no soul. It is both a good and a bad point.”

Subsequently, Cho Jun-hyun went on a campus date timed to coincide with So I-won’s graduate school semester start. However, an unexpected communication issue existed between the two. Cho Jun-hyun’s older brother, Cho Jun-ho, asked So I-won at the judo gym they visited, “Is it going well? Is there anything you don’t like or such?”
In response, So I-won said, “We are getting to know each other well,” while also confessing, “It is hard to get in touch.”
When Cho Jun-ho said, “My younger brother says the opposite,” So I-won retorted, “Your brother keeps saying it isn’t working out, but for me, it’s just that communication is temporarily cut off.” Then, Cho Jun-ho took his younger brother’s side, saying, “He said he waited for a call and fell asleep with tears soaking his pillow.”
So I-won laughed out loud, saying, “I talk exactly the same as your brother. The lines are also a bit…” while Cho Jun-ho joked, “No. I really saw it. Him crying. Please don’t hurt my younger brother.”
Watching this, Cho Jun-hyun said, “Isn’t she playing hard to get with me?” but Tak Jae-hoon countered, “It’s not playing hard to get; he is just pushing her away,” eliciting laughter.
