Actor Im WonHee had a memorable and humorous celebrity blind date in virtual reality on the November 2, 2025, broadcast of the SBS Korean variety show “My Little Old Boy.” The unconventional matchmaking was a surprise birthday gift from his close friends, singers Lee HongKi and Jo HyunA, who aimed to lift his spirits about being single.
A Surprise “MZ Style” Birthday Party
The episode began with Lee HongKi and Jo HyunA visiting Im WonHee’s home to throw him a surprise birthday party. They decided to decorate his bathroom in a trendy “MZ style,” which left both the actor and the studio panel bewildered. The highlight of their decoration was filling his bathtub with a colorful ball pit, a sight that caused studio commentator Seo JangHoon to express his shock and amusement.
From Flirting Lessons to a Virtual World
During the party, Im WonHee opened up about his worries regarding his single status. In response, Jo HyunA decided to give him an impromptu “flirting lesson” to boost his confidence. However, the main event of the celebration was yet to come. His friends revealed their ultimate gift: a celebrity blind date set up entirely within a virtual reality (VR) game, offering a modern solution to his romantic woes.
Im WonHee’s Celebrity Blind Date in Virtual Reality
Im WonHee, known as one of the most famous Korean actors who play supporting roles, fully immersed himself in the experience. After putting on the VR headset, he was transported to a digital world where he met his date, a virtual character named YooA. The two embarked on a virtual date, and Im WonHee appeared genuinely happy and engaged, showcasing a sweet and earnest side as he interacted with his digital partner.
A Sudden and Comical Conclusion
The virtual date reached a romantic peak when Im WonHee presented YooA with a virtual ring. In a touching moment, the character asked him to confess his true feelings, prompting a happy smile from the actor. However, just as he was about to confess, the simulation abruptly ended. The screen went blank, and the character YooA disappeared, leaving a stunned and confused Im WonHee calling out her name into the empty virtual space. Watching from the studio, Seo JangHoon couldn’t help but laugh at the hilariously sad situation, capturing the episode’s blend of comedy and heartfelt emotion.
