The Catfish Arrives: Enter Yang Ji Yung, the Ultimate Teto-Guy
Just when the house dynamics were heating up, a new bed appears in the men's room—signaling the arrival of a "catfish" (a wildcard participant). The younger guys freak out, while the noonas buzz with excitement. Cue the off-road truck pulling up to Yeon House, and out steps Yang Ji Yung: tall, broad-shouldered, and exuding pure teto-guy energy (that's Korean slang for a tough-yet-tender hunk).
Ji Yung's vibe? Manly exterior with a shy smile. He bonds instantly over workouts and shares his ideal type: simple-featured women proud of their careers. The house? Thrown into chaos, with the original guys eyeing him warily.
Job Box Drama: Everyone's Professions Are Elite AF
Episode 3's centerpiece is the Job Box reveal, where participants draw items hinting at their careers. No students or slackers here—these are all high-achievers! The noonas' worries about "what if they're unemployed?" vanish as the truths unfold. Here's the full rundown:
- Sang Hyeon: IT Engineer at a securities firm (hint: a massive data tape). The "nerd we were looking for!"
- Sang Won: Dermatologist/Director at an aesthetic clinic (hint: laser safety goggles). Shocker—playful doc with flawless skin!
- Yeong Gyeong: Dentist in Gangnam (hint: protective glasses). From English lit to dental school via a volunteer trip—total boss move.
- Mu Jin: Public Servant in forestry/green space management (hint: a flowerpot with a tree sapling). Plot twist: He oversees mountain developments!
- Ye Eun: Principal Dancer at Korean National Ballet (hint: wooden Nutcracker/Black Swan dolls). Prima Ballerina Award winner—ballet's pinnacle!
- Hyeon Jun: Restaurant Business Owner (fusion bars/izakayas) (hint: a Japanese fish-skinning knife). He promises to cook for everyone—yum!
- Ji Won: Aspiring Co-Pilot & Hanok Accommodation Owner (hint: miniature hanok model). Ex-flight attendant turned pilot-in-training—fierce!
- Bon Hee: Photographer (drama posters, fashion shoots) (hint: Youth of May drama poster). Her "first work" was a hit!
- Ji Yung (Newbie): Professional Rugby Player (flanker position) (hint: rugby ball). Strength + speed = noona magnet.

Late-Night Date Alert: Ji Yung Picks Bon Hee—Jealousy Ensues
Right after jobs drop, Ji Yung gets a text: Invite a noona on a late-night date. Tension skyrockets as he glances around... and chooses Bon Hee! Her warm responses and voice seal the deal. They head to a cozy fire-gazing cafe for camping vibes under the moonlight.
Flirty highlights:
- Ji Yung's dad-joke about "linen clothes" (tying into Bon Hee's fabric chat)—adorably smooth.
- Deep talks: Opposite dating styles (her: slow-burn; him: impulsive) and her rare romance history ("lottery odds").
- He admits picking her for her active vibe—pure chemistry!
Back at Yeon House? Mu Jin sulks hard (pacing, sighing), sparking his jealousy-fueled resolve to "win her heart." Hyeon Jun cooks stir-fried mushrooms to impress, while Sang Won and Ye Eun rebuild their spark with knee-touches and scalpel jokes.
Love QR Heartbreak & Overload: Bon Hee Gets FOUR!
The episode's emotional peak: Younger men send anonymous Love QR messages to noonas they want to know more. Results? Brutal and buzzworthy:
- Ye Eun: Zero. Post-Sang Won date blues hit hard—"I'm hurt."
- Ji Won: Zero. Feels "just fun, not womanly."
- Yeong Gyeong: One from Hyeon Jun (music date callback: "Listen to good music with you").
- Bon Hee: FOUR! From Mu Jin (pizza invite), Ji Yung (photo sesh), Sang Hyeon (first confession vibes), and Sang Won (curiosity spark). She's flustered AF.
This ignites chaos: Sang Hyeon musters courage for a midnight terrace chat with Bon Hee, confessing he's "not great in groups" but drawn to her. Mu Jin's subtle sulk? Peak awkward-cute.
Cliffhanger: Random Bag Dates & a Shocking Pre-Existing Connection
Teasing Episode 4: Noonas pick dates via mystery bags (battle of wits!). Plus, a bombshell—"I knew him before"—hints at hidden ties between Ji Won and a dongsaeng. Will Bon Hee's admirers clash? Can Ye Eun rebound?
