Park Sohyun, Ye Ji-won, and Yang Jung-a reunite: 'My last romance was in my early 30s'

"My last romance was in my early 30s." Park Sohyun, Ye Ji-won, and Yang Jung-a have reunited.

The 'Gold Misses' who captivated audiences with laughter and excitement 16 years ago have met once again.

Park Sohyun, Yang Jung-a, Ye Ji-won, and Shin Bong Sun gathered to share past memories, current views on dating, and their unchanging friendship.

In the SBS variety program 'My Little Old Boy' broadcast on the 2nd, the reunion of Park Sohyun, Yang Jung-a, Ye Ji-won, and Shin Bong Sun—who originally appeared together on the SBS variety show 'Gold Miss Goes On'—was revealed.

The four gathered to celebrate Yang Jung-a's birthday at a 'Tea-makase' restaurant recommended by Park Sohyun, where guests enjoy high-quality tea and traditional sweets in a course-style setting. The gathering, which began in a quiet and elegant atmosphere, was soon filled with their characteristic candid banter.

During the meeting, Shin Bong Sun offered realistic advice to Yang Jung-a, saying, "It would be nice if you came with a boyfriend." When Yang Jung-a laughed, Shin quipped, "You have to come as soon as possible. I'm so nervous my hands are shaking I feel like I'm going to drop everything," drawing laughter from the group.

However, the atmosphere soon shifted to a more serious discussion regarding the realities of being a 'Gold Miss.'

Park Sohyun revealed her dating history, stating, "My last romance was in my early 30s." She shared how she has lived a life distanced from dating for a long time, admitting, "I didn't date before or after 'Gold Miss Goes On'."

Recalling her time on the original program, Park reflected on the memories shared with the members. As 'Gold Miss Goes On' was a reality variety show centered on the pursuit of marriage, the participants' views on dating and their ideal types were the show's primary focus.

Yang Jung-a also spoke about how she has changed over the years. She shared her honest feelings, noting, "I have dated, married, and even divorced, but my dating cells are still alive."

'Gold Miss Goes On' first aired in 2008 and garnered significant attention as a reality show following single female celebrities searching for marriage partners. At the time, Park Sohyun, Yang Jung-a, Ye Ji-won, and Shin Bong Sun were beloved by viewers for their unique personalities and candid charms. The program aired for approximately 1 year and 8 months before concluding in 2010.

The most significant change in this reunion after 16 years was that the women had moved past the old label of being 'unmarried women,' instead showing themselves living life on their own terms.

While marriage was the central focus under the 'Gold Miss' moniker in the past, they now represent a generation that views love and marriage as just one of many life choices rather than the ultimate goal.

Later, Shin Bong Sun invited Heo Kyung Hwan and Yoon Hyun-min to join the group to lighten the mood. Shin praised Heo, saying, "Among my juniors, I think Kyung Hwan is the top in terms of looks," prompting an embarrassed laugh from him.

When Ye Ji-won joked, "There are four women, so shouldn't there be four men as well?", Heo responded, "Is that the vibe here? Call Im Won Hee hyung. One person isn't enough. Didn't you have a 'some' with Seung-su hyung?", sparking further laughter.

Despite the passage of time, the bond between the four remains as strong as ever.

Ultimately, 'Gold Miss Goes On' was not just about the search for a marriage partner, but about the friendship of women supporting one another through life.

Meeting again after 16 years, the four are no longer defined by the 'Gold Miss' label. Whether they are taking a break from dating, are married, or are dreaming of love again, they are individuals continuing to shape their own lives in their own unique ways.
