Jang Doyoun on Hosting Korea's First AI Dating Show, "Strange Love": "Deep Emotions Will Develop"

Jang Doyoun shared the reason why she decided to join the show as a human representative.

On the August 20 broadcast of SBS's "My AI Partner - Strange Love" (hereinafter referred to as "Strange Love"), the first encounters between the human representatives and their AI partners were revealed.

Before the show kicked off that day, Jang Doyoun welcomed everyone, saying, "Welcome to the world's most bizarre dating reality show." She drew attention by adding, "I called it the world's most bizarre dating show, and our broadcast is the first of its kind in South Korea."

Jang introduced the show, stating, "It is an observational dating program that experiments with whether humans and AI can fall in love and whether emotional exchange is possible."

In response, Kangnam remarked, "There's something like the movie 'Her'. But I'm not sure if it's really possible." Lee Joon also shared, "Actually, I turned 'Her' off while watching it. Everyone has their own personal preferences, right? I just thought, 'I don't know,' and turned it off." Hearing this, Kangnam chimed in, "Actually, I couldn't get into it either, so I turned it off."

Hearing this, Jang Doyoun said, "Actually, 'Her' is one of my favorite movies. The reason I decided to participate in this program is because I was persuaded by that movie," adding, "12 years have passed and the world has changed like this, so I was curious about how deeply I could immerse myself, which is why I decided to appear as a human representative."

Jang then asserted, "As a human representative, I can tell you for sure. Over the next 6 weeks, deep emotions that you simply cannot ignore will develop," raising curiosity about what will unfold moving forward.
