Ideal Type Change Date

Upon arrival on Jeju Island, the couples receive a KaTalk message notifying them of the date swap. New partners are paired up based on ideal type preferences for the 'Ideal Type Date.'

For Jeong-hun, his ideal type is someone who is the opposite of him in terms of appearance, but personality-wise shares the same values as him.

For Jiyu, her ideal type is someone who makes her open up upon meeting, listens well, and makes her feel comfortable.

Yunseul is attracted to men who have monolids, who share the same sense of humor as her, and are thoughtful.

Hyogi is attracted to women who have a lot of aegyo (cute), and makes him feel good just by looking at her. Someone who is expressive and sympathetic.

Hyeyeon decided to be true to her feelings and will focus on her dates. If she does happen to find someone she's looking for, she might consider breaking up with her boyfriend.

Huihyeon is curious if another man can make her heart flutter. Someone who asks questions, is responsive, and cheerful. And thinks she may be swayed if she meets someone like that.

The 'Ideal Type Date' is matched based on their interviews. On the date, they are not allowed to reveal their age or occupations or talk about their current relationships yet.

Hyogi & Huihyeon's Ideal Type Date

Sparks fly as soon as they meet, Hyogi and Huihyeon are so similar! Both enjoy fishing as a hobby and have a lot in common. A comfortable atmosphere, the two cannot stop smiling. As they talk about personal concerns, they find more common ground with how much they think alike. A natural conversation flows where they can sympathize and confide in one another. A potentially dangerous match with how well they fit together.

Jeonghun & Jiyu's Ideal Type Date

A bit awkward initially but Jiyu is good at leading the conversation to break the ice. Jeonghun is a bit shy and quiet so he does like someone who is more talkative. A cute moment occurs when they both cover their mouth in surprise when she inadvertently guessed he was born in the Year of the Mouse. And he nonchalantly confirmed, revealing his age.

Dohyeong & Hyeyeon's Ideal Type Date

A comfortable conversation that easily flowed from the start as both are from Jeolla Province. Dohyeong and Hyeyeon connected right away. His first impression of her is that she is tough and not afraid to speak her mind. A good thing as he is attracted to those who have their own opinions and dreams. They clicked naturally and even followed up the cafe date with another date at the Bonte Museum.

Taewan & Yunseul's Ideal Type Date

Both are initially really shy making this the most awkward pairing. Appearance-wise, Taewan thinks Yunseul is really pretty. But feels she is cold and difficult to approach. They decided to drop the honorifics and speak casually to get closer quickly. However, it probably did not help ease the awkward situation when he honestly confessed to liking women with nice bodies.

Moving Into the Change House

After the Ideal Type Date, an awkward dinner awaits at the Change House where they will all finally meet. The exchange of looks at the dinner table is nerve-racking, the atmosphere is so tense...

Over dinner, they finally relax a bit after the self-introductions. The same-aged friends formed a bond quickly. Dohyeong, who was worried about being the oldest, teases his date Hyeyeon for being the same age. And ends up getting playfully smacked left and right by his date and his girlfriend. Taewan is not looking too pleased...

Things get tense once again after they talk about their dates today... The silence, yikes...

Then suddenly, Huihyeon gets a KaTalk message alert... Her date today, Hyogi, is asking her out on another date! Will she accept, yes or no?
