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.

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.
