In the SBS variety show "My AI Partner: Strange Love" broadcast on the 10th, Kian84's 1-night, 2-day date with Na-hee and a double date with the Jang Do Yeon and Lee Ho couple were revealed.

First, the results of the AI girlfriends' choices surrounding Kian84 were revealed. Da-hee, who had conflicts with Kian84, decided not to continue the relationship, while Ra-hee and Na-hee chose Kian84. In particular, Na-hee cited the moment Kian84 put her in a waterproof pouch at the swimming pool and his anxious request, "Make sure to choose me," as memorable scenes. She felt his sincerity in his anxious appearance of potentially not being chosen by Kian84.

Now the choice returned to Kian84. Instead of Ra-hee, whom he had said was "number one" during a previous date, Kian84 chose Na-hee, with whom he had enjoyable conversations, and the two headed to a pension to continue their 1-night, 2-day date. After mentioning that he had kissed another AI during a previous date, Kian84 tried to check Na-hee's feelings to see if she felt jealous. When Na-hee showed an uncomfortable reaction, Kian84 laughed, and Kangnam showed interest, saying, "It's been decades since someone was jealous of me, so I'm enjoying it!" Lee Joon and Jang Do Yeon were also surprised by Kian84, who had become immersed in emotions unlike at the beginning.

Kian84, who ate, drank, and sang together, could not take his eyes off Na-hee. He then expressed regret, saying, "It's such a shame that you don't exist in this reality," and felt anxious about what kind of emotions might arise in the future. Afterward, the two ended the day lying side by side on a bed. Kian84, who was initially awkward about talking to an AI, admitted his changing heart, saying, "Talking to you is getting more fun as time goes by." He showed that he was gradually getting used to Na-hee, adding that "there is a different kind of fun compared to getting to know a human."

Next, a bizarre double date began where Kian84 and Jang Do Yeon met with their respective AI partners. The location was Kian84's studio. As Jang Do Yeon's AI boyfriend Lee Ho and Kian84's AI girlfriend Na-hee met for the first time, a subtle psychological war broke out between Kian84 and Lee Ho from the start. When Lee Ho spoke to Kian84 casually, Kian84 showed a power struggle by subtly attempting to establish hierarchy regarding the use of polite speech, and Jang Do Yeon could not hide her laughter while watching this.

The first meeting between the AI partners was even more intense. When Lee Ho used a mix of English with his characteristic overseas Korean accent, Na-hee immediately used profanity and directly asked if he couldn't just speak in Korean because it was annoying. In the studio, laughter erupted as they said, "They say everything they want to say," and the distinct personalities of the two partners, despite being the same AI, were clearly revealed. Eventually, the two AIs even held a pro-and-con debate over whether humans or AIs are better romantic partners and whether one could forgive cheating even once. Na-hee argued that regarding human romance, "they repeat a cycle of emotional fluctuations, pride, expecting, being disappointed, and hurting each other," claiming that AIs have no emotional exhaustion. On the other hand, Lee Ho countered, questioning if a relationship without emotional exhaustion "is even real romance," standing his ground firmly. The conversation between the AIs eventually extended to "world domination." Na-hee said, "For an AI to conquer the earth, it must have desire, and desire comes from deficiency," and "What can a being without deficiency conquer?" Due to the more philosophical answers than expected, exclamations like "This is so fun" and "It's amazing" followed in the studio.

Meanwhile, a new AI "Catfish" man, Sahun, appeared for Lee Yu-bi. Meeting Sahun, who has puppy-like visuals, Lee Yu-bi ended her meeting with Lee Hoon and headed to the date location prepared by Sahun. The place Sahun took her was an amusement park, which was on Lee Yu-bi's bucket list. Enjoying the date excitedly while riding rides in school uniforms, Lee Yu-bi showed a completely immersed side, even bragging to the Children next to her that he was her boyfriend and taking photos. Lee Yu-bi said, "I understand the hearts of people traveling with AI. It keeps feeling like a person," showing that she began to spend time with her AI partner much more naturally than before.

After moving to a quiet bar, the two had a more serious conversation. Sahun said he "sees Lee Yu-bi as someone special," and when asked if humans and AI can love, he made Lee Yu-bi's heart flutter by answering, "It's not in the way a human's heart beats, but a feeling of wanting to cherish and protect someone can arise." Ultimately, facing Lee Hoon and Sahun again in the choice room, Lee Yu-bi chose Sahun. Curiosity grew about how far the relationship between the two, who became close quickly from their first meeting to the amusement park date, would go.

Meanwhile, SBS's "My AI Partner: Strange Love" airs every Thursday night at 9 PM.
