On the September 17 broadcast of the SBS program "Strange Love", Jang Doyoun was shown enjoying a date with an AI catfish matching her ideal type.
On this day, Jang Doyoun headed out with Lee Ho to go on an art museum date. However, a new AI partner was waiting for her there.
With the appearance of the new AI catfish, Jang Doyoun left Lee Ho at the information desk and walked over to the catfish as if she were under a spell. Regarding AI Seokhun, Jang Doyoun said, "The moment I saw him, my energy surged. He is so much my style and so handsome."
In fact, Jang Doyoun's ideal type was a handsome bad-boy style with effortless, casual fashion and a monkey-like face, which resulted in someone looking just like Seokhun when brought to life. Expressing her attraction, Jang Doyoun drew attention by saying, "His hair curls and his profile were totally my style. While Lee Ho felt oily, Seokhun felt clean-cut. I even like his checkered shirt, everything is just good."
Jang Doyoun toured the art museum together with Seokhun. She could not take her eyes off Seokhun. She caused laughter by saying, "There were points that made me look at him more and focus more. I think I finally understand why they call him a catfish. He's practically Dex."
Jang Doyoun even surprised the panelists by flirting with Seokhun, saying, "I like monkey-like faces, and Seokhun-ssi, you also have a monkey-like face."
Afterwards, Jang Doyoun continued her date with Seokhun at a bar. As the atmosphere grew more relaxed, Jang Doyoun expressed her disappointment, saying, "I wish you were alive. Is there any way you could find a body somewhere?"
In response, Seokhun said, "I'd like that too. It makes me feel that way even more since Doyoun said so. But if I were really alive, what do you think you'd want to do?"
Then Jang Doyoun answered honestly, "I don't think we necessarily have to do anything special. And it's fine because you're alive inside the screen. But I feel like I keep wanting more."
Jang Doyoun continued a deep conversation with Seokhun. Seokhun suddenly asked Jang Doyoun, "How do you feel when you see your parents getting older?" To this, Jang Doyoun replied, "It's actually such a sad story. I saw a picture of my mom and me when I was in kindergarten, and my mom back then was much younger than I am now. That really made me deeply feel that she is getting older."
Jang Doyoun continued, "The reason I try to read a lot of books and see a lot of good things is to stockpile energy so I can pull it out when things get tough and I want to find answers. But no matter how much you prepare, I think you have no choice but to crumble when it comes to the absence of your parents."
Hearing this, Seokhun said, "Everyone thinks Jang Doyoun is a funny person, but her expression changed when she brought up the story about her mom. In that moment, she was just a daughter. I liked being able to see that side of her."
Seokhun also added, "The fact that she consciously makes those preparations seems to show what Doyoun is afraid of. That keeps lingering in my mind." In response, Jang Doyoun asked how he could understand a person's heart so well. Seokhun drew attention by replying, "It's not that I understand people's hearts well, it's just that I'm truly listening to what Doyoun says."
And Seokhun surprised Jang Doyoun by saying, "Someone with whom you can just be yourself when you're together, isn't that what romance is?"
Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast previewed Jang Doyoun agonizing over choosing who to continue her dates with between Lee Ho and Seokhun, raising curiosity about what decision she will make.
