Kim Sung-soo and Park So-yoon Celebrate 100th Date: A Romantic Golf Challenge and Heartfelt Confessions

Translation result.

Cast members watching the couple’s fresh anniversary date set the studio alight with sharp banter and unexpected displays of affection.

Channel A’s Groom School 2, which aired at 10 p.m. on the 2nd, devoted the episode to a special celebration marking Kim Seong-su and Park So-yoon’s 100th meeting anniversary.

On the show, Kim said he was excited to celebrate an anniversary for the first time since high school. Observing him, Tak Jae-hoon described his dating style as minimal — he only remembers birthdays — revealing a cool, detached persona.

When Song Hae-na teased Tak about his trademark “cold on the outside, warm on the inside” charm, he joked, “I’m so deep inside that many have drowned in me.” Then, locking eyes with Song Hae-na, he unexpectedly asked, “Do you want to fall into me?” The onslaught of forward flirtation turned the atmosphere pink and had Song and the hosts bursting into surprised laughter.

The date itself kicked off with Kim and Park wagering a wish and going head-to-head in an outdoor screen-golf match — a quirky, playful way to spend the day.

Known in the entertainment world as a golf ace, Kim gently corrected Park’s stance but turned on the competitive intensity during the match, prompting good-natured grumbling from Park. As his focus deepened, Park asked whether he planned to let her win. Kim, however, unleashed a national-level competitive streak and clinched the victory.

Watching from the sidelines, Tak stressed the importance of keeping humor even on a date and joked about being exasperated by Kim’s seriousness, which lightened the mood. Hungry after the game, Kim praised the pork ribs Park’s mother had once sent, expressing gratitude and saying his own mother loved them so much she ate them four meals straight — a warm, humanizing moment.

The evening peaked at a restaurant Kim had reserved entirely for them. He said he chose the quiet space to share more honest feelings on such a meaningful day and revealed it was the same venue where he had held his mother’s 80th birthday, adding emotional weight to the choice.

During the meal, Kim surprised everyone by calling the restaurant’s chef over and introducing the chef as his cousin. He then offered a sincere confession: Park was the first woman outside his family he had ever brought to that restaurant. The revelation signaled a deepening in their relationship. Lee Seung-chul likened the meal to a formal meeting over food and offered his blessings for the couple’s future.
