Heart Pairing’s Lee Chung-ah Shares Her Ideal Match Among the Male Contestants
On the upcoming 11th episode of Channel A’s reality dating show Heart Pairing, airing on the 23rd, actress and host Lee Chung-ah delves deep into the psychological nuances of the 10 contestants experiencing the show’s intense ‘Second Contract Dating’ stage.
During the opening scene, the five MCs — Yoon Jong-shin, Lee Chung-ah, Choi Si-won, Mimi, and Professor Park Ji-sun — reflect on the emotional resonance left by the contestants’ first dates in their new pairings.
Lee Chung-ah shares a particularly striking moment, noting, “It was unforgettable seeing Chang-hwan unable to make eye contact with newcomer Sua, our final ‘catfish’ contestant. If love at first sight exists, it probably looks like that.”
The discussion shifts to the pairing of Sang-yoon and Jae-yeon. As a self-described introvert, Lee relates to Jae-yeon’s personality, commenting, “After such an impactful date, I imagine she still has emotional energy left even after returning to the Pairing House. I’m very curious about what will unfold next.”
She also voices concern for Ji-min, who may be emotionally stepping back after this development. “Someone left behind in the house may be hurting,” she says with empathy.
Yoon Jong-shin highlights the contrast in emotional expression between Ji-min and Sang-yoon, remarking, “Both are incredibly attractive but very different. It will be interesting to see where Jae-yeon’s heart leans.”
In a playful moment, Yoon asks Lee Chung-ah, “If you were a contestant, which of the five male housemates — Sang-yoon, Woo-jae, Ji-min, Chan-hyung, or Chang-hwan — would you choose?”
Flushed and laughing, Lee responds, “That’s the most common question I’ve been getting from my friends lately!” After a moment’s hesitation and deep thought, she admits, “This might seem biased, but I’ll go ahead and share my pick.”
She also confesses how being part of Heart Pairing has sparked a personal identity crisis. “This show has me questioning who I match best with—I’m totally experiencing a pairing meltdown.”
The emotionally charged final moments of the ‘Second Contract Dating’ journey in Heart Pairing will be revealed on Channel A’s 11th episode, airing on the 23rd at 10:50 PM.
