KBS 2TV variety program 'Noona Is a Woman to Me' Season 2 has foreshadowed a turbulent romance as Choi Yoo-jin (37) finds herself entangled with younger men Lee Si-won (25) and Koo Ji-seung, forming a love triangle.

In the recently aired seventh episode, the ages and occupations of the cast members were revealed for the first time. During this process, Choi Yoo-jin shared mutual attraction with Lee Si-won, a soccer coach 25 years of age, and promised to go on a date. However, interpreter Koo Ji-seung also showed interest in Lee Si-won, forming a tense love triangle that heightened viewers' suspense.

Choi Yoo-jin originally said she had rarely considered younger men romantically. She revealed that she decided to appear on the program out of curiosity about romances between older women and younger men, and for a new experience.

Regarding her first date partner, Lee Jun-han, she previously expressed affection, saying, "Jun-han was the first to catch my eye when I saw him for the first time. He had the physique that women love and an unexpected charming eye smile, making him the younger man who best fit the expression 'love at first sight.'" However, she added that she could not hide her disappointment when Lee Jun-han's attention turned to another cast member.

Afterward, Choi Yoo-jin began to feel attracted to Lee Si-won again during a pool party, but was shocked to learn after the ages were revealed that he was born in 2002. Nevertheless, she explained her efforts, saying, "I had preconceived notions about age, but I tried my best to look at the person himself without prejudice. The biggest thing was that I listened a lot to what he had to say and sincerely tried to get to know him."

She then confided that she might have appeared frustrated because she was not as proactive in expressing her emotions compared to other cast members, noting that she typically takes a cautious approach to dating. She also mentioned that she envied the proactive attitudes of the other cast members.

Meanwhile, Choi Yoo-jin also took note of the unexpected charms of other cast members. First, regarding Yoo Jin-woo, described as the idol of the restaurant industry, she said, "When I saw him in the common area at night, his energy was so high and he had so many impulsive actions that I was puzzled. But when I talked to him one-on-one during the day, he was much more thoughtful and serious than I expected, which surprised me." She added, "It seemed like he was possessed by a mischievous spirit at night, but during the day he seemed like a completely different person."

Regarding the official 'femme fatale' Park Ji-hye, she praised her, saying, "My first impression was that she was strong and intense, but after spending time with her, she was the most pure and cute. She herself was clear-hearted and lovely."

Finally, Choi Yoo-jin stated, "There were moments when the story went in a direction I had never expected at all," adding, "In particular, it will be really entertaining to watch how the parts I was convinced would 'absolutely never happen' end up being overturned."

'Noona Is a Woman to Me 2' airs every Wednesday at 9:50 PM.
