Kim Ji-young reflected on the surge in attention she received during Heart Signal 4.
On the afternoon of the 7th, SBS aired the variety program Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny. The episode introduced Heart Signal 4 alum and creator Kim Ji-young and her husband, CEO Yoon Soo-young, while veteran entertainer Lee Sang-min appeared as a special MC.
Lee remarried last year and is now a 53-year-old newlywed. He introduced himself as "Lee Sang-min, a doting newlywed," drawing laughter from the room. When the cast asked what connection he had with Kim Ji-young, Lee answered, "I still host Heart Signal."
Lee went on to recall just how popular Kim was at the time. "It was the first time I met her in person; I had only seen her on screen," he said. "She was incredibly popular. Her short haircut was one of the most flattering styles in Korea, and the way she listened to the male contestants felt perfect."
He added that it was unusual for someone to be chosen by three people in the final selection. The cast, surprised, asked how that felt. Kim admitted, "I was honestly stunned. It was my first time being chosen by so many people, so it felt surreal."
