Artist and Ki-an84 shared behind-the-scenes stories from 'Ki-an's Love'.

On the afternoon of the 18th, a production press conference for SBS's new variety show 'My AI Partner - Ki-an's Love' (hereinafter 'Ki-an's Love') was held at the SBS Hall in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. PD Son Jeong-min, PD Won Seung-jae, and cast members Ki-an84 and Jang Do-yeon attended.

'Ki-an's Love' is a new format survival program that combines AI (artificial intelligence) with love reality. Ki-an84, Jang Do-yeon, and actress Lee Yu-bi dive directly into a love world created by AI, encountering meetings they cannot experience in reality and unpredictable changes in relationships. Jang Do-yeon also serves as the studio MC, co-hosting alongside Gangnam and Lee Jun.

On this day, when asked about the charm of dating an AI, Ki-an84 replied with a laugh: "I got really angry that they only said nice things. 'Oppa is so cool,' 'Oppa is so great'—they kept giving me these compliments, which made me suspicious. I kept thinking, 'Are they just saying what's programmed to make me feel good?' or 'Is this not coming from their hearts but just a result of the setup?' They approached me with that mindset."

Ki-an84 then added, "Even so, if I have to talk about the charm, despite my constant doubts, what was appealing was that they listened to whatever I said and heard things I couldn't even tell a real person. In fact, their visual was so stunning that I felt I wouldn't be able to approach them in reality—that was definitely an advantage. I'm still confused. I find myself thinking a lot about how far our interaction can go."

'Ki-an's Love' consists of six episodes total and will premiere on the 20th at 9 p.m.
