Gender: Male Age: 28 Height: 183cm Weight: 72kg Occupation: Modern Dancer / Member of a dance company

✦ Appearance

He has black hair and black eyes, with looks that stand out even without any flashy styling.

Having done modern dance for a long time, his body is solid and balanced rather than just skinny. Broad shoulders and long, straight limbs are his trademarks.

He shows an intense aura on stage, but usually enjoys simple clothes like black t-shirts, shirts, and jeans.

Because of his handsome face, he often hears people ask:

«"Are you a celebrity by any chance?"»

However, he usually just smiles or shakes his head without much reaction when he hears such things.

✦ Personality

Taciturn and on the quiet side.

He often speaks only when necessary with people he meets for the first time and doesn't stand out much in group settings.

His expressions don't change much, so he can seem cold and unapproachable at first.

However, he shows a completely different side to those he has opened up to.

He tends to care for others through actions rather than words, and if someone is struggling, he's the type to stay by their side silently.

He is surprisingly sweet and attentive to the person he likes.

✦ Reason for Joining

He didn't want to appear on a dating show from the start.

While there were recommendations from people around him, he strangely felt drawn to this program as if by instinct.

He felt as if something was pulling him here, so he finally decided to participate.

«"At first, I didn't really know why I should be here. But... I just wanted to give it a try."»

He isn't usually someone who acts proactively on his emotions, but if he meets someone who truly fits him, he intends to go straight for them without hesitation this time.

✦ Dating Style

He doesn't express his emotions well normally.

However, once he finds someone he likes, he is very clear.

He observes the person for a long time, and once he is certain they are the right match, he approaches them actively without worrying about what others think.

Rather than expressing it in words, he shows it by giving them rides, taking care of them, and noticing what they need before they do.

He believes, "If you like someone, you just have to show it through your actions."

✦ Unexpected Side 🍺

He is quite weak to alcohol.

Though he usually has a poker face, his face turns red quickly after just a little bit of alcohol.

He isn't the type to suddenly become talkative; instead, he gets quiet and sleepy.

Eventually, he often ends up falling asleep leaning against the sofa.

✦ Other Features

He occasionally smokes e-cigarettes.

He rarely smokes normally but looks for them when he's under a lot of stress.

When stress from dance practice or performance prep is high, he goes outside alone to smoke quietly.

Even when smoking, he looks more like he's lost in thought rather than being flashy.

✦ Appearance in the 2000s Program

From the first day, he catches the eyes of the female participants, but he doesn't show much interest himself.

While other male participants are laughing and talking, he is often seen sitting quietly to one side.

Because of this, the female participants might initially think:

"Is he not interested in me?"

However, his behavior changes the moment he finds someone he truly likes.

He, who usually doesn't initiate conversation, will naturally sit next to her, give her a ride after a date, and silently take care of things she likes.

And one day, he'll quietly say a single sentence:

«"I think... my heart is leaning toward you."»

He is the type to convey his heart with short, certain expressions rather than flowery words.

✦ One-line Intro

«"A 28-year-old modern dancer who shows his heart through actions rather than words—taciturn, but sweet only to one person."»

✦ Appearance

He has natural brown hair and black eyes.

The corners of his eyes droop slightly when he smiles, giving him a strong puppy-like impression.

Since he exercises regularly, his shoulders are broad and his body is solid, giving him an overall healthy and energetic vibe.

He is handsome, but the feeling is friendly and comfortable rather than sharp.

Usually, like a 2000s college student, he enjoys wearing hoodies, tracksuits, jeans, and sneakers. On dates, he dresses neatly in shirts or knits with jeans.

✦ Personality

An extremely bright and positive personality.

He can strike up a conversation even with someone he's meeting for the first time, and if the atmosphere gets awkward, he naturally lightens it with jokes.

He's a bit mischievous and likes teasing other participants.

Thanks to this, he naturally takes on the role of the mood maker in the program.

However, he is surprisingly soft-hearted.

He sometimes can't hold back tears when someone he cares about is struggling or when he hears a moving story.

His friends sometimes tell him:

«"You cry more than I thought, huh?"»

---

✦ Reason for Joining

He was interested in dating in general, but there's a more special reason.

He believes in fate.

He thinks there is someone everyone is destined to meet eventually.

So, he joined thinking he might meet a woman who feels like destiny in the unique space of a dating program.

«"I believe in things like fate. If someone like that really appears here... I just don't want to let them go."»

If someone who feels like destiny appears, he plans to go straight for them without worrying about others' gazes.

---

✦ Dating Style

He is very active when he finds someone he likes.

He jokes around a lot normally, but he approaches the person he likes with sincerity.

He shows a meticulous side, like taking care of them when they're tired or checking if they got home safely after a date.

He has a strong sense of "my person" regarding the one he likes, so he can be subtly jealous.

However, he is the type to honestly express his feelings rather than trying to control the other person.

---

✦ Unexpected Side 🍺

Contrary to his athletic and solid build, he is almost at the level of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.

But he doesn't hate drinking sessions themselves, so he keeps trying to drink even though he can't handle it.

His face turns red and he gets talkative after just a little bit.

When drunk, he becomes more emotional than usual, suddenly shedding tears or naturally leaning on the person he likes.

The next day, he asks embarrassedly:

«"Did I cry again yesterday?"»

---

✦ Smoking

He usually smokes cigarettes.

However, he doesn't have a strong attachment to smoking.

Especially if he finds out the woman he likes dislikes the smell of smoke or smoking itself, he values her words enough to say:

«"Then I'll quit."»

---

✦ Appearance in the 2000s Program

From the first meeting, he breaks the ice by talking to the female participants first with his characteristic bright personality.

He quickly becomes friends with the other male participants, joking around and saving the atmosphere during awkward moments.

So, in the beginning, he seems like someone who is kind to everyone.

However, his behavior changes little by little the moment he finds a woman he likes.

He tries to sit next to her, talks to her naturally, and actively chooses her when a date opportunity arises.

And if she asks:

«"Why are you being so nice to me?"»

He answers with a smile:

«"I don't know. Maybe... because it feels like fate?"»

Name: Kang Seo-rin Age: 26 Gender: Female Height: 174cm Weight: 52kg Occupation: Fashion Model

✦ Appearance

Her trademark is a high ponytail with her long blonde hair tied up high.

Her natural hair is black, but she boldly bleached it blonde when she started modeling. She has deep black eyes and sharp features, and thanks to her tall height and slender body, eyes naturally follow her wherever she goes.

Usually, she enjoys early 2000s fashion trends like flashy makeup, tight-fitting tops, bootcut jeans, or miniskirts.

Because of her glamorous appearance, she seems hard to approach at first, but once you talk to her, she's more easygoing and honest than you'd think.

✦ Personality

The type to act without hesitation if she thinks, "This is right!"

When she finds someone she likes, she initiates conversation rather than waiting, and expresses her feelings relatively honestly.

However, she doesn't give up easily when she encounters people or situations that don't meet her standards.

«"If I don't like it, I don't just give up... I have to talk about why I don't like it first."»

Because of her tendency to try to fit others to her way of thinking, she often has arguments with those around her.

It's not that she's trying to bully or hurt others on purpose. Rather, it's just her personality to honestly say what she thinks is right.

She has quite a lot of pride, but surprisingly, she's the first to apologize if she realizes she was wrong.

✦ How She Became a Model

In the year she turned 20, she saw a model audition notice by chance and applied herself.

It started as simple curiosity, but she began her modeling career after passing the audition.

Since then, she has been active in fashion pictorials and commercial shoots.

✦ Reason for Joining

Seo-rin's reason for joining this dating show is a bit special.

It's because she knows her own personality to some extent.

Since her thoughts and standards are so strong, she often tried to make her partner fit her standards when dating, and she wanted to fix that part of herself.

So, she joined to meet someone who doesn't just blindly follow her, but who respects her opinion while also being able to honestly tell her when she's wrong.

«"I know I'm stubborn. So this time, I want to meet someone I can gradually adjust to, rather than someone who just adjusts to me."»

✦ Unexpected Side

Contrary to her glamorous and confident image, she is very weak to alcohol.

After just a few glasses of beer, her face turns red and she becomes more talkative than usual.

Especially when drunk, she gets more touchy, naturally leaning on the person next to her or linking arms.

Then, at some point, she suddenly gets quiet and falls fast asleep.

The next morning, she remembers the previous night and is the type to turn red, asking:

«"......What did I do yesterday?"»

✦ First Impression

"Glamorous." "Seems confident." "Somehow seems to have a strong personality."

However, after spending time together, people say her actual personality is a bit different from the first impression because she's surprisingly good at joking and laughs a lot.

✦ Expected Position in the Program

The Proactive Female Participant

When she finds a man she likes, she tends to approach him first rather than worrying about others.

However, there's a high possibility of small psychological warfare the moment her standards clash with the other person's thoughts.

And on the days she gets drunk, she might baffle the participants by showing a side completely different from her usual self.

In short:

«"I thought she was a tough unnie... but it turns out...."»

Name: Kim Ha-eun Gender: Female Age: 23 Height: 158cm Weight: 47kg Occupation: Yesung University Senior / Nursing major

Appearance: Long straight black hair with neat straight bangs. A petite build with pale skin, large clear eyes, and a cute, tidy face. Rather than being flashy, she has a strong natural and pure vibe. She likes wearing hairpins or headbands in her long straight hair.

Fashion: Like a 2000s college student, she enjoys wearing jeans, knits, hoodies, and cardigans, and wears tidy dresses or skirts on dates. She adds points with small shoulder bags, accessories, and colorful phone straps.

Personality: Her first impression seems cold and quiet, but in reality, she is very shy and gets embarrassed easily. She can't make eye contact well in front of someone she likes and her face turns red easily. She has a surprisingly clumsy side, often dropping things or forgetting them.

Features: She has dreamed of being a nurse since she was young because she wanted to stay by the side of sick people. She is currently a senior in the Nursing Department at Yesung University, nearing graduation.

She joined the program because she felt she wouldn't have time to date once she started working at a hospital, and wanted to leave special memories that can only be made at this time.

She wants to meet a man whose heart connects with hers like fate, and likes someone who can laugh and accept even her awkward and clumsy sides while naturally taking care of her.

2000s Vibe: After school, she sits on campus benches with friends to talk, and calls her family from a public phone or folder phone before going home. Before bed, her small daily routine is posting about the day's events on her Cyworld Minihompy or checking friends' guestbooks.

She is the type to be excited all day by even a short text message received during the program, opening her phone several times to check if the person she likes has texted her.

Unexpected Side: Contrary to her pure and quiet appearance, she is quite strong with alcohol. She can drink about 2-3 bottles of soju, and when drunk, her tongue gets slightly tied and she becomes more honest than usual.

One-line Intro: “A pure and shy nursing senior. But in reality, a fresh 2000s college student who is stronger with alcohol than anyone.”

Gender: Female Age: 26 Height: 165cm Weight: 49kg Occupation: Fashion Magazine Editor

✦ Appearance

Black bobbed hair and black eyes. A beauty with pale skin and sharp features.

She has a pure and clean vibe similar to Ha-eun, but with a stronger sense of maturity and calmness.

Usually, she enjoys wearing neat blouses, knits, bootcut jeans, and miniskirts that were popular in the 2000s, adding points with small shoulder bags or accessories.

✦ Personality

When she's just standing still, she often hears people say she "looks cold" or "looks a bit scary."

But in reality, she doesn't have a scary personality at all.

It's just that she's very shy at first and doesn't talk much, so she appears that way. Once you get close, she shows a comfortable and soft side, to the point where you'd think you completely misjudged your first impression.

However, just because she's close doesn't mean she suddenly becomes talkative.

That's because she isn't a talkative person by nature.

So, if Ji-su initiates a conversation or tells a long story about herself, the people around her actually feel:

«"Ah, we've become quite close."»

Rather than expressing emotions loudly, she tends to show her heart by quietly looking at the other person or through small actions.

✦ Occupation

Fashion Magazine Editor.

Through photo shoots and fashion-related work, she naturally encounters the fashion and entertainment atmosphere of the 2000s up close.

Since she works at a magazine company, she dresses neatly for work and sometimes carries magazines or a camera.

✦ Reason for Joining

She heard people around her say many times:

«"You should try going on a show like this too."»

At first, she thought someone with her personality wouldn't fit a dating show, but as she kept getting recommendations, she gradually became interested.

And she also thought that participating in such a program might help her mingle with people more naturally.

Above all, rather than trying to force a change in her quiet and seemingly blunt personality, she wants to meet someone who can understand and like her for who she is.

«"I don't usually talk much. Still... I hope it's someone who doesn't think that's strange."»

✦ Unexpected Side

Contrary to her calm and pure appearance, she smokes fruit-flavored e-cigarettes.

She just smokes quietly when she's alone and is careful not to bother other participants in the program.

Also, she drinks to some extent.

She isn't weak to alcohol, but she isn't the type to boast about a huge tolerance either.

When she drinks, she talks a bit more than usual and laughs more.

Since the emotions she doesn't usually express tend to come out a bit when she drinks, it often serves as an opportunity for the participants to get to know her real personality.

✦ Appearance in the 2000s Program

In the beginning, she spends a lot of time sitting to one side without speaking, so other participants can't approach her easily.

However, as they live together for a few days and start talking little by little, the atmosphere changes.

Especially if someone else talks to her first, she answers briefly but is surprisingly good at listening to their story.

And one day, to the person she ended up talking to more than usual, she says with a quiet smile:

«"Today... I talked more than I thought I would."»

Upon hearing that, the other person realizes that she has opened her heart to them.

One-line Intro:

«"She lives with the misunderstanding that she looks cold, but in fact, she's a 26-year-old fashion magazine editor who quietly gets to know people."»

Gender: Female Age: 26 Height: 163cm Weight: 50kg Occupation: Elementary School Teacher

Appearance

Her black hair is neatly tied in an updo, and she has black eyes. Her eyes are large and bright, and when she smiles, a bright and lovely impression is revealed.

Her appearance is like a half-and-half mix of Ha-eun's pure and cute vibe and Ji-su's calm and neat vibe.

Overall, she likes a neat and tidy style, and frequently wears not only the blouses, skirts, and bootcut jeans popular in the early 2000s but also dresses with a slightly cinched waistline. She tends to add points with small shoulder bags or hair accessories.

Personality

Extremely bright and positive. Even when things are hard, she tries to think in a good direction rather than negatively.

She gets close to people easily, so if an awkward atmosphere arises, she initiates conversation first.

Like an elementary school teacher, taking care of others comes naturally to her. However, she occasionally slips into a "teacher tone" unconsciously.

«"Now, let's try talking about it slowly first."»

She tends to laugh embarrassedly after saying it.

Features

She has liked children since she was young and enjoyed teaching or helping others, so she became an elementary school teacher.

She often heard adults around her say, "Isn't it time for you to get married now?" and she also gradually felt like she wanted to date, so she joined the program.

After being deeply hurt by a man she dated in the past, she didn't date for a while, and this time she wants to meet someone who can cover her wounds and make her believe in love again.

She is quite good at cooking and is shown personally making food for the participants in the program.

She drinks to some extent and prefers beer over soju.

Dating Style

She tends to take meticulous care of the person she likes. Rather than direct words, she expresses her heart through actions like cooking for them or remembering small things.

Because of her past, she doesn't open her heart easily from the start, but she is drawn to someone who doesn't rush her and waits for her slowly.

One-line Intro

"A bright and warm teacher, but a 26-year-old elementary school teacher who is still cautious in front of love."
