Hyeon Ji and Yoo Sik's Adorable "Drinking Drawing" Date
In a surprise twist, Hyeon Ji's keyword date turns out to be with Yoo Sik—not the expected Jae Hyeong. Their shy chemistry sparks at a wine-and-art spot, where they paint bear toys resembling each other. "This is crazy," Yoo Sik blurts repeatedly, admitting his nerves and attraction. Hyeon Ji's honesty shines: "Her expression says everything—it's been a while since I felt this affection."
Post-painting, they bond over Korean BBQ, with Yoo Sik confessing he chose her based on her "red wine" keyword from the Talking Room. The panel swoons: "He's flirting 100%—that's proactive action after years without new crushes." Their bashful laughs and shared shyness scream potential couple goals.
- Highlight: Yoo Sik's "Why did you come?" vulnerability meets Hyeon Ji's "I thought it was someone else" surprise.

The Age Reveal Bombshell: Chaos, Misconceptions, and Awkward Vibes
A mysterious envelope drops: "Reveal your age now." What follows is pure pandemonium as residents guess wildly—Won Kyu pegged as "40s," Yoo Sik as older than expected. Birth years tumble out:
- Guys: Baek Hyun (1998, 28), Jae Hyeong (1999, 27), Woo Jin (1996, 30), Yoo Sik (2000, 25), Won Kyu (1993, 33).
- Girls: Min Kyung (2001, 25), Ji Yeon (1998, 28), Hyeon Ji (1997, 29), Yun Nyeong (2000, 26), Ji Hyeon (1998, 28).
Shocks abound: Yoo Sik's the youngest, crushing his "older man" hopes; Hyeon Ji feels "old" at 29; the 1998 trio (Baek Hyun, Ji Yeon, Ji Hyeon) forms a "strong force." Panelist Huta: "Age matters more than you think—girls might see younger guys as 'kids.'" Cue honorific drop debates and forehead reveals for "youthful" looks.
This revelation shifts dynamics: Yun Nyeong worries Baek Hyun's "older women only" stance; Yoo Sik sulks, joking about age-swaps for $1M.
"Born in 2000? Wait—I'm way older!" – Collective freakout
Late-Night Texts, Drinking Sessions, and Rising Tensions
Post-reveal texts fly: Yoo Sik gets flirty "Younger Yoo Sik" messages from Hyeon Ji and Ji Hyeon; Ji Yeon invites Won Kyu to the terrace ("You really are older than me!"). Hyeon Ji and Yoo Sik exchange bear-painting compliments, while Jae Hyeong texts Ji Hyeon: "I had fun—let's get closer."
The night escalates into a 1st-floor booze-fest: Clothes swap (Ji Yeon snags Won Kyu's ADERERROR top), ramyeon dates, and raw confessions. Won Kyu, tipsy and charming, tells Ji Yeon: "If we date, I'd gain 10kg in 2 months." But Woo Jin interrupts their midnight chat, scolding Ji Yeon for "inconsiderate" vibes with Won Kyu. "You're disappointing," he snaps, leading to an explosive argument: "This is what we came here to do—be true to feelings!"
Woo Jin later apologizes to Won Kyu: "Emotions got the better of me." The panel calls it: "Rude, but real—drunk honesty exposes cracks."
- Key Pairing Update: Hyeon Ji/Yoo Sik (mutual texts), Ji Yeon/Won Kyu (flirty ramyeon), Ji Hyeon/Baek Hyun (bestie bonding over Yoo Sik worries).
Ex Room Drama: Yoo Sik and Min Kyung's Heart-Wrenching Closure
The episode peaks with the Ex Room opening— but only one per couple can enter. Yoo Sik and Min Kyung both choose to go, leading to a tense 10-minute sandglass talk. Reasons for breakup? Yoo Sik: "Priority" (his career focus); Min Kyung: "Future" (misaligned visions).
Min Kyung yields: "Go in—sort your feelings. I want you happy." Inside, Yoo Sik confronts a high-school classroom of memories: Uniforms, snack-filled lockers, travel pics, and sticky notes like "You've always been indispensable." But regrets hit hard—busy schedules, unmet marriage talks, her loneliness. "I was a mean boyfriend," he admits, emerging resolved: "She deserves stability I can't give."
Panel verdict: "Sad but necessary—fuels new beginnings, like Ji Yeon rocking Won Kyu's shirt defiantly."
