OH MY GIRL’s Mimi got real about love and marriage while hosting a dating reality show!

As the MC of Channel A’s upcoming romance show "Heart Pairing," Mimi couldn’t hide her excitement about watching real-life love stories unfold.

But while discussing the show, she made a surprising confession, saying, “I don’t want to admit it, but I’m already at the right age for marriage.”

Mimi will be hosting alongside Yoon Jong Shin, Lee Chung Ah, Super Junior’s Choi Siwon, and social psychology professor Park Ji Sun.

The show is set to premiere on March 7 and promises an intense love experiment—contestants must find a partner to marry within just a month!

When Yoon Jong Shin explained, "Unlike 'Heart Signal,' which focused on the early stages of romance, 'Heart Pairing' is about seriously choosing a lifelong partner," Mimi reacted with surprise.

She added, "Since the contestants are around my age, I’ll do my best to represent their true feelings as a friend."

The show takes place at a stunning "Pairing House" in Tuscany, Italy, where contestants meet for the first time. As emotions run high, Lee Chung Ah excitedly shouts, "This is what people mean by ‘must-watch TV’!" Meanwhile, Mimi, completely caught up in the romance, says, "Why am I feeling so excited? I’m going crazy!"

At one point, Mimi notices a male contestant’s instant change in behavior when a certain woman arrives.

Seeing his reaction, she jokes, "His reaction speed was on Usain Bolt’s level!"—bringing laughter to the studio.

As the first night unfolds, Yoon Jong Shin and Professor Park Ji Sun analyze the relationships, predicting that a chain reaction of connections will shake up the house.

With unexpected twists and real emotions at play, the show is already heating up!

Directed by Park Chul Hwan, the mastermind behind the Heart Signal series, "Heart Pairing" will capture the rollercoaster of romance and reality as contestants search for love in Italy and Seoul.

The first episode premieres on March 7 at 10:50 PM KST—don't miss it.

Girls' Generation's Sunny was recently spotted supporting K-pop trainees at A2O Entertainment, the company started by her famous uncle, producer Lee Soo Man. This happened after she officially left SM Entertainment in August 2023.

On April 7, A2O Entertainment shared a video titled “A2O Trainees 'A2O Summer Training Camp 2024' Highlights” on their official YouTube channel. The video showed A2O trainees heading to the United States for a special training camp.

Fans were surprised when Sunny suddenly appeared in the video. She was seen visiting the recording studio and watching the trainees record music. Sitting in front of the console, she smiled warmly as she monitored their work, showing her full support.

After the video was released, some netizens began wondering if Sunny is now working with her uncle behind the scenes. Many believe she might be helping him with music-related projects.

For those who don’t know, Sunny is the youngest daughter of Lee Soo Young, who is Lee Soo Man’s older brother. Lee Soo Young is also well-known in the industry as the CEO of Starworld, a company that debuted the girl group Sugar in the early 2000s. Sugar had popular members like Hwang Jung Eum and Ayumi.

A2O Entertainment is Lee Soo Man’s new project after he sold his shares in SM Entertainment to HYBE in 2023. Because of a non-compete agreement, he can't produce music in Korea for three years, so he’s now focusing on trainees based in the U.S.

Even though Sunny left SM, she hasn’t cut ties with Girls' Generation. Back in January, all eight members reunited and shared a group photo, warming fans' hearts.

Fans are now curious about Sunny’s next steps and whether this could mean a new chapter in her career—maybe as a mentor or producer?
