Kim Seung-soo and Park Hye-yeon Swap Numbers After Matching on "My Little Old Boy"

Seo Jang-hoon said on air that actor Kim Seung-soo and freelance announcer Park Hye-yeon, who is 16 years his junior, exchanged phone numbers after filming. The two picked each other in the final choice on SBS's "My Little Old Boy," and both of their mothers welcomed the match.

Seo Jang-hoon added, "I hope it works out this time." The number swap alone does not confirm that the two are in a real relationship, and attention is on whether Kim Seung-soo can end his long single life.

A awkward start, then a long talk

The scene aired on Episode 515 of the SBS entertainment show on the 18th. Kim Seung-soo and Park Hye-yeon continued a conversation they had not been able to finish earlier and confirmed their feelings. They made the same choice in the final round, raising viewers' expectations.

Kim Seung-soo went to Park Hye-yeon's lodgings to speak with her alone. He first asked her mother's permission, saying he wanted to talk with Hye-yeon alone, and then sat down opposite her. "It became an awkward situation because I didn't choose you. I came to talk more," he said frankly. Rather than let a connection that had not come together in the earlier round slip away, he chose to use conversation to get to know her better.

Honeymoons and trips abroad

The talk turned to married life. Kim Seung-soo asked, "If we get married, where would you want to go for a honeymoon?" Park Hye-yeon named Croatia as a destination she had not yet visited. "I like Croatia, but I haven't been to Plitvice Lakes," she said, calling it a place she wants to visit someday.

Kim Seung-soo confessed that he, too, has a destination he wants to share with someone. "There was just one place I thought I must go to with someone," he said, naming Tanzania in Africa. The remark suggested that, although he enjoys travelling alone, he wants to experience a special place with a like-minded person. Their shared interest in travel made the conversation more relaxed and warm.

Park Hye-yeon responded positively. "My friends who love travel say Africa is great. I was curious about it. Now I want to travel with someone too," she said. She then offered, "If you want to travel, I'll plan the trip for you." The talk of planning a trip together pointed to the possibility that the two could build their relationship as they learn each other's tastes.

Final choice and family approval

When the final choice came, Kim Seung-soo and Park Hye-yeon named each other and became a couple. Both mothers, watching the pair's decision, voiced approval and support. With the families' reactions also shown in a positive light, expectations for the new pairing grew.

Seo Jang-hoon, who watched the broadcast, said, "I hear they actually exchanged numbers after filming," noting that the connection has continued since. Attention now turns to whether the two, who picked each other, can keep meeting after the broadcast and develop a genuine bond.
