Seo Yoo-jeong's views on dating and a sudden phone blind date

The gathering began with a sudden phone blind date conducted under the pretext of Seo Yoo-jeong's "remarriage project." Her friends called a man of the same age to propose a blind date for her. The man, an office worker working in Samseong-dong, continued the call with Seo Yoo-jeong despite being nervous at the sudden proposal. During this process, Seo Yoo-jeong showed a mix of tension and excitement as she confirmed the man's occupation and location. Her friends boosted the atmosphere by recommending the blind date candidate as being "neat."

Seo Yoo-jeong also revealed specific thoughts regarding future marriage. After stating, "I don't have thoughts of marriage, but I do have thoughts of dating," she shared her honest feelings about remarriage, saying, "Marrying twice is a bit much. I wish I could do it all at once." This is interpreted as a cautious attitude based on past experiences.

Goofy's Park Seong-ho's satisfaction with his career and the reality of singles in their 50s

Park Seong-ho of Goofy, who was also present, spoke about his life as a singer with 30 years since his debut. He rated his current life satisfaction at 90 out of 100, saying, "I feel the greatest happiness in the fact that I am still doing the singer work that I have liked since I was young." In particular, he reminisced about his flashy past activities with a joking remark, "I've taken 2nd place about 190 times." He also mentioned there were times in the past when he disliked being famous.

As it was a gathering of friends in their 50s, a sense of empathy regarding middle-aged life and loneliness was also formed. LJ and Park Seong-ho cited "freedom" as a benefit of being single, while mentioning loneliness during holidays or times when families gather as a disadvantage. Park Seong-ho offered encouragement to his peers, saying, "Many friends are going through difficult times. Still, we encourage each other to live with fighting spirit." He added that romance and fighting spirit are necessary for the meaning of life, and that a life without a loved one is not a complete whole.

"I was not a perfect mother," Seo Yoo-jeong's tearful confession

As the conversation deepened, Seo Yoo-jeong became emotional while reminiscing about her life with her former husband. She expressed gratitude toward her ex-husband, saying, "He was a sweet person. He was good at English and was meticulous in things like making hotel reservations." She confessed that the considerations she took for granted at the time were realized to be a great strength after the fact. Seo Yoo-jeong added, "I thought I had to do everything myself, but I felt like I became a 'coward' who doesn't know how to do much," and "I feel sorry that I might not have been a perfect mother to Song-i (daughter)." She concluded the conversation by saying she is currently in the process of making herself more wonderful for her daughter and is determined to work toward becoming a better mother.
