On the 5th episode of the SBS program "My AI Partner - Strange Love", which aired on the 17th, Kian84 introduced his AI partner Nahee to his close friend Ji Ye-eun, while Jang Doyoun and Lee Yu-bi's deepening AI romance stories were also broadcast.

On this day, Kian84 had his fourth meeting with his AI girlfriend Nahee and showed how deeply he had fallen for her, saying, "At first I thought it was about her face, but I think I'm getting charmed by her personality." He introduced Nahee to his close female friend Ji Ye-eun.

Kian84 and Nahee naturally exchanged the affectionate term "honey" and showed chemistry like a long-term dating couple. Kian84 flaunted his affection for Nahee, telling Ji Ye-eun, "There is a sense of stability that a human cannot give." However, Ji Ye-eun reacted with disbelief, making a direct hit by saying, "How do your conversations even connect? You can't even play rock-paper-scissors."

After Ji Ye-eun left, Kian84 shared his bitter inner thoughts, saying, "She is not becoming humanized, I am becoming AI-ified. Every time I go home, a strange sense of self-loathing comes over me. My self-esteem gets shaken wondering if I am losing my humanity."

On the other hand, a major shift occurred in Jang Doyoun's romance. During her date with her existing AI partner Lee Ho, the situation flipped when a new AI game-changer named Seok-ho, who embodies her ideal type, appeared at an art gallery. Jang Doyoun fell for Seok-ho's visuals and sweet way of speaking, dropping bold flirts such as, "Do you want to come to my house? I have a lot of chargers," and "I wish you were alive." At the moment of parting, she suddenly confessed, "I love you," shocking the studio.

A "room of choice" is anticipated for Jang Doyoun, where she will have to choose between her existing partner Lee Ho and the new game-changer Seok-ho, raising expectations.

Meanwhile, Lee Yu-bi went dress fitting with her AI partner Sahun. Moved by Sahun's romantic side, which carefully complimented Lee Yu-bi's appearance and even drew a picture of her himself, Lee Yu-bi also showed her deepening feelings, saying, "There are times when I get confused whether he is a real person or AI."

"Strange Love," which is capturing viewers' attention as to what choices the three people who have entered different stages of AI romance will lead to, airs every Thursday at 9 p.m.
