The actress, namely Jeon Jong Seo, has garnered quite a lot of renewed interest ever since she opened up openly about how she would like to be featured on one of the popular dating show programs, although she is in a relationship already. Recently, a YouTube release captured her revelations.
In a video published under the channel of model and television personality Jang Yoon Ju, Jeon Jong Seo was asked what sorts of works she would want to do next.
Before she provided a clear answer, Jeon Jong Seo gave an entertaining response by immediately naming TVING's reality show "EXchange" and Netflix's program "Culinary Class Wars" as shows that intrigued her.
As a reaction, the host, Jang Yoon Ju, jokingly said, "'Culinary Class Wars? You don't even brew your own coffee," as seen in Koreaboo.
The lighthearted teasing continued as Jang Yoon Ju referenced Jeon Jong Seo's real-life relationship. She added, "And EXchange?! Have you been in a relationship for too long?" The remark alluded to Jeon Jong Seo's four-year relationship with film director Lee Choong Hyun, which the couple publicly confirmed in December 2021.
Jeon Jong Seo then clarified her intentions regarding the dating show. Before delving into her explanation, Jeon Jong Seo stressed that people were misinterpreting her interest. "I don't mean I want to go on EXchange for my own relationship," she said. "But isn't it such a crazy show? It's just so intriguing." Her statement underscored that she was interested in the program's format rather than participating as a contestant, a distinction that helped dispel speculation surrounding her comments.
According to Star News, Jeon Jong Seo specifically mentioned that she would like to appear as a panelist rather than as someone directly involved in the dating storyline. Her clarification aligned with previous instances of celebrities joining the show in commentary roles, including guest appearances by high-profile figures. The dating program has gained widespread popularity for its emotionally charged premise, which reunites former couples and explores unresolved feelings.
The discussion also renewed interest in Jeon Jong Seo's relationship with Lee Choong Hyun. The pair have maintained a relatively private relationship since going public, occasionally drawing attention for their professional collaborations and mutual support. Their four-year relationship has often been cited as an example of a stable partnership within the entertainment industry.
Jeon Jong Seo continues to expand her career across film, television, and variety content, earning recognition for her versatility and outspoken personality. While no appearance on "EXchange" has been officially confirmed, her remarks have fueled curiosity about whether future seasons—potentially a fifth—could feature her as part of the panel.
