Actor Lee Kyu-han's former connection, veterinarian Jo Hui-jin, reunites with Lee Tae-sung after five years

Actor Lee Tae-sung is receiving intense interest from his family members ahead of a second meeting with a woman he reunited with after five years. He confessed that following their blind date, he was flooded with messages from relatives expressing high expectations for marriage. Having raised his son alone since a mutual divorce in 2013, attention is now focused on whether this meeting, which began on a broadcast, can evolve into a real romance.

In the upcoming broadcast of the Channel A entertainment program 'Groom Class 2' on the 30th, Lee Tae-sung's second meeting with Jo Hui-jin, a veterinarian and dentist with whom he has a past connection, will be revealed. In the studio, Lee Seung-chul, Tak Jae-hun, and Song Hae-na will observe the relationship and provide various reactions. Interest is growing regarding the atmosphere in which the two, who have grown closer after their first meeting, will face each other again.

The connection between the two was rekindled through a blind date arranged by an acquaintance. The reason they were unable to hide their surprise upon recognizing each other at the first meeting was due to their past connection: Jo Hui-jin was once the veterinarian in charge of Lee Tae-sung's pet dog. Reunited after approximately five years, the two naturally formed a rapport by discussing everyday topics such as pets and childcare.

Lee Tae-sung also showed an active side during their first meeting. Revealing that he has obtained a certification as a pet behavior instructor, he proposed to Jo Hui-jin, "I will go to your house and train [the pet] myself." Through the medium of the pet dog, he opened the possibility for a next meeting. Curiosity is mounting as to whether the two, having met again after a long time, can develop their relationship based on these common interests.

The changed atmosphere of Lee Tae-sung in the studio is also a topic of conversation. When Song Hae-na complimented him, saying, "Your style has improved," Lee Seung-chul noted that among the participants who have passed through 'Groom Class 2,' Lee Tae-sung's broadcast reactions and view counts were at an all-time high. He further mentioned the viewers' interest, stating, "They looked the most stable and comfortable, and there were many comments that their faces look alike."

Above all, what surprised Lee Tae-sung was the reaction from his family following the broadcast. He revealed, "After the broadcast aired, I received many calls from my relatives." He explained that relatives responded by asking, "Are you going [to get married] this time? Can we look forward to it?" The fact that contacts flooded in asking about marriage after just one blind date offers a glimpse into how much his family welcomes this new connection. However, whether the actual relationship between the two will develop to match the expectations of those around him remains a separate matter.

Lee Tae-sung has been raising his son alone since his mutual divorce in 2013. Having balanced his activities as an actor and his role as a father, he recently revealed that his son is supporting his dating life. As he continues this new meeting amidst family support, this blind date has become an occasion that draws interest to Lee Tae-sung's personal life beyond a simple broadcast event.

Recently, cases have emerged where connections started on broadcasts led to actual marriage. Through the dating program 'Pursuing Old Encounters,' Solbi and Lee Kyu-han developed into a couple, completed their meeting with both families, and are scheduled to hold a wedding ceremony next April. As examples appear where relationships formed through broadcasts bear fruit in reality, eyes are naturally turned toward the meeting between Lee Tae-sung and Jo Hui-jin. However, as the two are currently at the stage of preparing for their second meeting, it is difficult to prematurely predict a marriage.

The scene where Lee Tae-sung visits the animal hospital operated by Jo Hui-jin to continue their second date will be revealed on 'Groom Class 2,' airing at 9 PM on the 30th. Attention is focused on how much more the two, whose connection was rekindled after five years, will get to know each other through comfortable conversation, and whether the expectations of his relatives can lead to the fruit of an actual romance.
