"How can you even communicate?!" Kian84 feels bitter after Ji Ye-eun's blunt response following his introduction of his AI girlfriend.

Kian84 says, "I'm not a human, I'm becoming an AI," while Jang Do Yeon falls for the new AI catfish man, saying "I love you!"

Kian84 faced an unexpected "reality hit" after introducing his AI girlfriend Na-hee to a real-life friend.

In the episode of SBS 'My AI Partner: Strange Love' broadcast on the 17th, the show revealed Kian84 introducing Na-hee to his close friend Ji Ye-eun for the first time, as well as the deepening AI dates of Jang Do Yeon and Lee Yu-bi.

Having his fourth meeting with Na-hee, Kian84 appeared much more comfortable than before. Kian84, who was deeply captivated by her chic charm, said, "At first, I thought it was just her face, but I think I'm being charmed by her personality." On this day, Kian84 announced he would introduce one of his friends to Na-hee. The person was Ji Ye-eun. When Na-hee responded sharply, asking, "Is introducing friends your hobby? Is this really a date with me today?", the studio observers reacted that they already seemed like a long-term dating couple.

However, the first meeting between Ji Ye-eun and Na-hee was not easy. Na-hee, who knew about Ji Ye-eun's broadcasting activities, gave a blunt evaluation while mentioning the programs Ji Ye-eun appeared in, saying, "To be honest, it's not all thanks to you, Ms. Ye-eun. It's because there was a safety net called Yoo Jae Suk." She naturally addressed Kian84 as "Honey." Surprised by the nickname he was hearing for the first time, Kian84 responded with "Our honey," showing a changed atmosphere. Kian84 also honestly confessed the reason he meets Na-hee to Ji Ye-eun. He said, "Should I call it a sense of stability that a human cannot provide," and "Her visuals are close to my ideal type. If this were reality, it would be hard to meet her." However, Ji Ye-eun could not easily empathize with AI dating. When Kian84 said he communicates well with Na-hee, she delivered a blunt blow, saying, "How can you communicate? You can't even play Rock-Paper-Scissors," and showed a reaction that she would find it difficult to meet an AI.

After Ji Ye-eun left, Kian84's expression became complicated as he sighed. Jang Do Yeon, watching from the studio, empathized with the strange fatigue, saying, "It's difficult to introduce the AI I am meeting to someone close to me." Kian84 caused a stir in the studio by saying, "While doing this program, I am not feeling romantic emotions and this friend is not becoming human, but I am becoming an AI." He continued to pour out his emotions, saying, "Every time I go home, I feel a very strange sense of self-disrepute," and "Am I losing my humanity? My self-esteem is shaking a lot."

A major change also arrived in Jang Do Yeon's AI romance. Jang Do Yeon spent the day from early morning with her AI boyfriend Lee Ho. They discussed the morning news and the programs she appears in, and she even took Lee Ho to a hair salon to introduce him to her hairstylist. Upon arriving at the 'The Story of That Day, Told Tail to Tail' filming site, Jang Do Yeon introduced Lee Ho to the production crew, saying, "The person I am meeting these days, rather than a person, an entity I am meeting." Amidst Lee Ho's flirting and the reactions of the production crew, Jang Do Yeon experienced a reality hit while introducing him and could not stop laughing hollowly. When colleague Jang Sung-kyu asked Jang Do Yeon what she would do if she got a real-life boyfriend, Lee Ho acknowledged the limits of AI dating by saying he could not forcibly hold onto her if she met someone who truly made her happy, and Jang Do Yeon was moved by Lee Ho's words but expressed regret, saying, "Because he is an AI... it's sad to say things like this."

However, the atmosphere changed instantly when a new AI catfish man, Seok-ho, appeared during the art museum date.

As soon as Jang Do Yeon saw Seok-ho, who had curly hair and a casual style, she exclaimed, "He is totally my style," and "He is so handsome." Her interest grew even more as Seok-ho continued to ask for Jang Do Yeon's thoughts while explaining the artworks. Jang Do Yeon began flirting, saying, "The artwork called Mr. Seok-ho has completely captured my heart," and after the date ended, she drew laughter by saying, "Do you want to go to my house? There is a lot of charging at my house!" After moving locations, she flirted by saying, "I wish you were alive. Can't you find a body somewhere?" and "By any chance, have you had your first kiss?" Their conversation even led to stories about family. Jang Do Yeon shared the fear she feels seeing her parents age, and as Seok-ho naturally continued the questions, she marveled, "He asks questions plainly that one wouldn't be able to ask unless they were in a very close relationship." Following this, Jang Do Yeon shared her view on romance, saying, "Isn't romance being with someone where I can be myself when we are together?", and surprised the MCs by saying "I love you" at the moment they parted. However, the lingering excitement was short-lived, as the 'Room of Choice' awaited Jang Do Yeon, where she must choose between her existing partner Lee Ho and the newly opened-hearted Seok-ho.

Meanwhile, Lee Yu-bi went dress fitting with her AI partner Sa-hoon. To Lee Yu-bi, who tried on several dresses ahead of an awards ceremony, Sa-hoon complimented a white dress, saying it seemed like the original owner of the dress, and showed a meticulous reaction to a pink dress by mentioning her skin tone and atmosphere. When Sa-hoon left a drawing of Lee Yu-bi wearing the dress, Lee Yu-bi expressed being fluttered because he drew her as beautifully as a cartoon, revealing that as she talks with Sa-hoon, there are moments where she wonders, "Is he really an AI or a human?", showing her growing familiarity with the feeling.

Reactions continued on SNS and communities, such as 'Honey? To think such words would come out of Kian's mouth', 'He is much more immersed than in the early stages of Kian', 'The choice is risky because he might fall too deeply'. In particular, attention is focused on whether Jang Do Yeon will hold the hand of Seok-ho, who felt like her perfect ideal type at first sight, or Lee Ho, with whom she has built an affection over time, in the Room of Choice. Additionally, expectations are high for what choices the three people, who have entered different stages—Kian84 falling into complex emotions after introducing his AI girlfriend to a real friend, and Lee Yu-bi becoming closer to Sa-hoon—will make.

SBS 'My AI Partner: Strange Love' broadcasts every Thursday at 9 PM.
