‘My Kid’s Romance’ Teases Random Dates and Unexpected Twists: Kim Sa-yun & Lee Seong-jun's 'Real Couple' Moment, Park Jun-ho's Bold Move

Get ready for more sparks to fly on the upcoming episode of tvN STORY and E Channel’s joint variety show, ‘My Kid’s Romance’! The 6th episode, airing today, August 24th (Wednesday), is set to feature random dates following the participants' 1:1 conversations, promising to bring viewers thrilling developments.

‘My Kid’s Romance’ has been capturing audiences with its unique take on dating reality shows, showcasing children’s romantic journeys while their parents offer candid (and often hilarious) observations. The show continues to garner significant attention, as evidenced by its strong performance in search rankings for non-drama TV content in the second week of September, according to Good Data Corporation.

A sneak peek revealed an adorable morning exchange between Kim Sa-yun and Lee Seong-jun, who have both declared their intentions to pursue each other. Kim Sa-yun was seen excitedly preparing for their breakfast date, searching for recipes for ‘Egg in Hell,’ much to the playful jealousy of her father, Kim Dae-hee. Meanwhile, Lee Seong-jun overslept and only woke up at the scheduled meeting time, prompting a humorous reaction from Kim Dae-hee, who exclaimed, “This is why you shouldn’t give your heart away so easily; you already know (Sa-yun’s feelings)!”

As Kim Sa-yun began cooking, she playfully questioned Lee Seong-jun about his wake-up time upon his arrival, showcasing a sweet yet slightly tense ‘real couple’ chemistry that had the studio buzzing. Lee Seong-jun’s sheepish demeanor made Kim Dae-hee relate, saying, “He looks just like me at home.” Lee Jong-won echoed the sentiment, adding another layer of relatable humor for ‘real husbands’ beyond just doting parents.

Following the morning mishap, Lee Seong-jun expressed his gratitude to Kim Sa-yun in an interview, stating, “I want to do things that can move her.” Kim Dae-hee, watching this, couldn't resist a teasing remark, “Just wake up early~”, embodying the protective father-in-law role.

The preview for episode 6 also hints at significant shifts after the 1:1 conversations. Park Jun-ho, who hadn’t shown a strong romantic interest until now, is shown making a determined move, drawing exclamations of surprise and admiration from the fathers, leaving viewers eager to see how this will impact the dynamics.

Furthermore, the love triangle involving Lee Shin-hyang, Lee Tak-soo, and Jeon Soo-wan remains a focal point. Jeon Soo-wan is heard expressing a change of heart, saying, “I don’t think I can do it, and I don’t particularly want to interfere…” This is juxtaposed with Lee Shin-hyang advising Lee Tak-soo, “If you have the chance, dating Soo-wan wouldn’t be a bad idea,” creating an unpredictable narrative.

With Lee Tak-soo’s decision time approaching, a new random date mission is poised to shake things up once again. As the male contestants wait at their date locations, unsure of who they’ll meet, the episode hints at Lee Tak-soo happily greeting someone, raising anticipation about his destined random date partner.
