Actor Jeon Won-ju (87) went on a matchmaking date with a younger man through a matchmaking agency.

On the 28th, the YouTube channel ‘Jeonwonju_Jeonwonju-ingong’ uploaded a video titled ‘I Am Solo~ First Reveal! 87-year-old Jeon Won-ju meets a younger man!’.

That day, the production team told Jeon Won-ju, “Did you not go to a matchmaking agency last time? The matchmaking agency contacted us. They said there is a man who wants to meet you.”

Jeon Won-ju first confirmed the age, and to the question of what age she preferred, she said, “The same age or a few years younger is fine.” The man who wanted to meet Jeon Won-ju was born in 1959. Jeon Won-ju waved her hand, saying, “Then he is far too young. No, no.”

The production team said, “The man is an enormous fan of you. He watches our YouTube and also reached out through the matchmaking agency, so he said he would like to meet you as a fan.”

Meeting the male fan at a cafe, Jeon Won-ju felt shy in front of a fan who was taller and more handsome than she had expected. She received the bouquet he had prepared with an excited smile and handed over the vitamin supplements she had prepared.

Jeon Won-ju said, “Even at my age, seeing you like this makes me nervous.” The male fan likewise showed nerves, saying, “While waiting, I kept going only to the restroom.”

The male fan revealed that he had briefly served as president at an imported car company. Jeon Won-ju said, “I am older and probably have more money, so I will buy the meal,” and the man, saying both were correct, did not refuse.

Looking at the male fan, Jeon Won-ju said, “You look very warm-hearted. I am so happy to meet like this,” and added, “You look very young for your age.” The male fan also praised Jeon Won-ju in person, saying, “Much prettier than on screen, than when seen on TV.”

The two set a plan to go hiking together and hooked pinkies to meet next time at a barbecue restaurant. Jeon Won-ju said, “I want our connection to keep going; I want us to become companions who go together holding hands.” She added, “No, if our ages were similar, I was going to make a move, but being twenty years apart, does that make sense? That is a son. In the past, at twenty you already had a child. So it killed the mood.”

Meanwhile, Jeon Won-ju was born in 1939 and is 86 years old. She was widowed three years after marrying her first husband, and she also lost her second husband in 2013. She has two sons.
