Broadcaster Kim Il-woo and actress Park Sun-young are raising expectations for their deepening relationship by arranging the first meeting between their beloved dogs. In the 181st episode of Channel A's 'Groom's Class' (hereinafter 'Groom's Class'), airing on the 17th, viewers will witness Kim Il-woo and Park Sun-young heading to Gangneung with their respective canine companions.

Upon arrival, Kim Il-woo went to greet Park Sun-young. He couldn't hide his excitement upon seeing her, especially with her newly styled perm, which captivated him. Observing their sweet chemistry from the studio, MC Lee Seung-chul became deeply engrossed, questioning who might have inspired her new hairstyle.

Following the initial introductions of their dogs, the pair enjoyed a shared walk with their pets and then proceeded to a pet-friendly hotel, aiming to foster closer bonds. Park Sun-young thoughtfully presented Kim Il-woo with a health supplement and even gave him a hand massage, showing her caring side. Taken aback by this unexpected gesture, Kim Il-woo playfully asked if there was a 'special reason' behind her thoughtfulness, to which Park Sun-young responded with laughter, asking if he wished there was, further heating up the atmosphere.

During their meal together, Park Sun-young confided, 'It's not easy for dogs to meet, and I realize how difficult it must be for people when families oppose a marriage.' Kim Il-woo agreed, stating, 'The most important thing is the feelings between the two people,' but then surprised her with a sudden question: 'Doesn't your brother ever ask you to bring your boyfriend over?' Park Sun-young shared some sibling banter with her younger brother before suggesting, 'Let's have my brother meet you next time,' which brought a smile to Kim Il-woo's face.

Kim Il-woo, born in 1969, first gained recognition through the popular 90s sitcom 'LA Arirang.' He has since maintained a consistent career, appearing in various dramas and variety shows. He has previously expressed profound affection for his pet dogs on television.
