Shim Jae-won avoids flirting from Lee Go-eun on 'Lovers of Joseon'

Shim Jae-won, the nephew of actress Shim Hye-jin, drew laughter from viewers by maintaining a cautious attitude even when a participant actively expressed interest in him.

In the episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Lovers of Joseon' aired on the 27th, a group meeting featuring members of the dating group '6 Can Do It' was revealed.

During the meeting, Shim Jae-won engaged in natural conversation with participant Lee Go-eun, born in 2000.

He signaled his interest, noting, "I haven't been able to talk much with the others, but I feel like I'm talking most comfortably with Go-eun."

In response, Lee approached him even more proactively.

She playfully set the mood by asking, "Since you're a popular guy, can I assume I have the upper hand?" before complimenting him by saying, "You look like Daniel Henney."

She further made Shim bashful by describing her ideal type in detail: "I like people with good physiques. I like men with broad shoulders, thick necks, and thick forearms."

When asked about his first impression, Shim gave a shy smile, saying, "I think she seems like a bright and good person."

However, an unexpected reaction occurred at a decisive moment.

As they were walking together, they encountered a rough path, prompting Lee to offer a flirtatious suggestion: "Are you going to carry me?"

After hesitating for a moment, Shim ultimately chose to turn away instead of making physical contact, stating, "It looks too dangerous. I can't do it."

The studio instantly erupted in laughter at his unexpected rejection.

Watching the interaction, Hwangbo expressed her disappointment, saying, "He really can't date," while Kim Gook-jin could not hide his frustration, asking, "You're turning away just because you couldn't hold her?"

The contrasting dating styles of the proactive Lee and the infinitely cautious Shim provided unique entertainment to viewers, leaving many curious about the future direction of their relationship.
