Love stories from reality shows often fade after the cameras stop rolling, but for Dai and Shun (The Boyfriend) and Sung-ho and Jun-seong (His Man 2), the connection only grew stronger. In an intimate interview with DAZED Korea, these couples opened up about love, attraction, and the little things that make their relationships special. From competing in affection to admiring each other’s features, here’s a heartfelt look into their journeys.
- Shin Sung-ho (27), a makeup artist and His Man 2 contestant, met Lee Jun-seong (29), a former luxury retail employee turned fashion YouTuber, on the show.
- After leaving His Man 2 as a couple, their bond deepened beyond the screen.
💬 Jun-seong: “Sometimes, I feel like I love him more, and other times, I feel like Sung-ho loves me more. It’s like we’ve been competing in love—maybe that’s why we’ve lasted this long.”
💬 Sung-ho: “I usually think I’m the one who gives more, but looking back, it feels like I’ve always been the one receiving love from Jun-seong.”
- Jun-seong adores Sung-ho’s “charming” glasses look (even if Sung-ho might disagree).
- Sung-ho loves the “perfect balance” of Jun-seong’s facial features, especially his nose.
Why It Matters: Their playful dynamic proves that love isn’t about keeping score—it’s about appreciating the little things.
- Nakai Dai (24), a Japanese actor under New Evidence, met Shun (25), a musician known as Hazeglitch, on Netflix’s The Boyfriend.
- Their chemistry was instant, and they left the show as a couple.
💬 Shun: “When I push my bangs up and look at Dai, I can’t help but smile. His eyes reflect me—it feels like they hold his heart.”
💬 Dai: “Shun’s long eyelashes and slightly upturned lips are sexy and captivating.”
- Dai credits his agency, family, and fans for keeping him positive.
- Shun is focusing on music while navigating their relationship.
Why It Matters: Their love is as poetic as Shun’s lyrics—full of quiet admiration and deep connection.
Both couples prove that:
✅ Reality show romances can last when built on genuine connection.
✅ Small details matter—whether it’s a glasses-wearing moment or a lingering gaze.
✅ Support systems (fans, friends, agencies) help nurture their love.
