‘Single’ 21st-season contestant Youngcheol announced his marriage to Lee Ji-yeon.
The choices formed on the show and relationships in real life do not always continue in the same direction.
Looking together at the case of Hyunsook and Youngsik from season 26, relationships after the program can change within each person’s own timeline.
3-Line Summary
1. The final choice on Single does not determine a real-life relationship
2. Youngcheol from season 21 announced his marriage to Lee Ji-yeon
3. Relationships after the show should be assessed through announcements by the people involved
Youngcheol from Season 21 Announces Marriage to Lee Ji-yeon
Youngcheol (real name Song Ju-heon), a contestant on ‘Single’ season 21, is preparing to marry Lee Ji-yeon, a former beauty-pageant contestant. According to Money Today, Lee Ji-yeon announced a new beginning by posting wedding photos on Instagram on September 12, and Youngcheol also shared plans to marry in September 2026 through his own Instagram account.
The exact date on which the two actually held their wedding cannot be confirmed from this report alone. However, since both publicly expressed their intention to marry, this news can be viewed as an announcement of a new connection that began after the show, rather than a relationship formed on the program.
Lee Ji-yeon was introduced as someone who participated as South Korea’s representative in the 2017 international beauty pageant ‘Miss Globe.’ Youngcheol is known as a contestant on ‘Single’ season 21.
Hyunsook and Youngsik from Season 26 Met Again After the Show Ended
There are also cases showing that the final choice on a program is not the conclusion of a relationship. MHN reported that Hyunsook and Youngsik from season 26 did not become the final couple during the show, but met again after it ended, developed a romantic relationship, and held their wedding last January.
Hyunsook and Youngsik appeared together on the YouTube channel ‘HoneyDay 허니데이’ on September 13 to review the season 33 broadcast. During the appearance, Youngsik said that he had passed the first round of the national civil service examination in the past, but did not take the second-round exam because he had not prepared for it.
Youngsik’s examination history is a personal experience separate from the couple’s marriage news. However, the scene of the two revealing their daily lives together through a video shows that they continued their relationship even after the program ended.
The Show’s Choices and Real-Life Relationships Are Different
On ‘Single,’ contestants make choices within a limited period. However, Youngcheol from season 21’s marriage announcement and the marriage of Hyunsook and Youngsik from season 26 show that it is difficult to determine the course of a relationship afterward based solely on the outcome on the show.
In particular, some people meet again after the show, as Hyunsook and Youngsik from season 26 did, while others announce a new connection outside the program, as Youngcheol from season 21 did. When considering contestants’ relationships, it is more accurate to use marriages or romantic relationships directly announced by the people involved as the standard, rather than scenes from the show.
