SBS announcer Lee In-kwon and Choi Jung-yoon confirm dating

SBS announcer Lee In-kwon and former Miss Korea Choi Jung-yoon have officially announced that the connection they formed through broadcasting has blossomed into a real-life romantic relationship.

On the 14th, Lee and Choi shared a photo of themselves together on their respective social media accounts, stating, “Since so many people have been asking, we are leaving this photo as a record. We are also seeing each other well outside of the show.” They added, “To the two mothers who were with us and the production team of Blind Date Stay Together, thank you,” expressing their gratitude for the relationship that began through the program.

The news of the two dating was essentially foreshadowed during the final episode of 'Child Release Project—Blind Date Stay at Home 2,' which aired the previous day. After a 5-night, 6-day stay together, the participants made their final choices to confirm their feelings, and Choi chose Lee.

On that day, while receiving simultaneous selections from both Lee and Moon Seong-mo, Choi expressed her feelings for Lee, saying, “I feel like In-kwon oppa was always one step ahead,” noting how he consistently looked after and cared for her first.

Whether the two could transition their relationship into real dating was put to the test once again by the mothers' choices. As other couples had previously faced opposition from parents, Lee and Choi could not avoid the tension.

However, the result was a happy ending. Following Lee's mother opening the firmly closed door and appearing with a bright smile, Choi's mother also respected the couple's choice.

Choi's mother showed her trust and support for her daughter's decision, saying, “While staying together for 5 nights and 6 days, I made up my mind that I should support Jung-yoon.”

Having succeeded in the final matching, Lee and Choi expressed their desire to get to know each other better, ending the broadcast with a heart-fluttering atmosphere.

The day after the broadcast ended, the two took the relationship a step further by directly announcing, “We are also seeing each other well outside.”

As the connection that started from the premise of a 'blind date' on an entertainment program has led to a real-life romance outside of the screen, attention is gathering toward how the two will continue their love in the future.
