Lee Jung-jin Shocks on ‘Groom’s Class’ with 3.3 Billion KRW Assets and Ideal Type: “Pretty, Over 170cm, Loves Golf”

Chun Myung-hoon's longtime crush, Sowol, surprises everyone by knowing Lee Jung-jin's ideal type inside out.

On the upcoming 177th episode of Channel A’s Men’s Life These Days: Groom’s Class airing at 9:30 p.m. KST on the 20th, Chun Myung-hoon throws a 'surprise party' to celebrate 55 days since meeting his crush, Sowol. With the help of the '78z' duo—Jang Woo-hyuk and Lee Jung-jin—he launches a 'proposal mission' that promises plenty of twists.

For the special day, Chun Myung-hoon brings Sowol to a decorated party room. Jang Woo-hyuk and Lee Jung-jin, who personally set up the venue, proudly show off their friendship, saying, “We decorated the party room ourselves.”

As Sowol formally greets the group, a mysterious smile is exchanged between her and Lee Jung-jin, leaving Chun Myung-hoon and Jang Woo-hyuk flustered. Lee Jung-jin then drops a bombshell: “Sowol and I have known each other for a long time. I tried to keep it a secret, but we know each other very well.”

Shocked, Chun Myung-hoon asks, “Are you two just friends? Did you know her before I did?”

Curiosity peaks as viewers wonder how Lee Jung-jin and Sowol will respond. Jang Woo-hyuk chimes in, “I was recently introduced to someone nice, but Jung-jin is still single. Sowol, why don’t you introduce someone good to him?”



After a brief pause, Sowol reveals, “Jung-jin oppa has high standards. He wants someone who is at least 170cm tall, pretty, and shares hobbies like golf.”

Chun Myung-hoon is stunned by how well Sowol knows Lee Jung-jin’s preferences, while Jang Woo-hyuk teases, “Listening to you, it sounds like Jung-jin’s ideal type is actually you, Sowol.” Watching from the studio, Chun Myung-hoon confesses, “That was actually the second crisis for me,” adding a bittersweet laugh.

Later, Jang Woo-hyuk tries to boost Chun Myung-hoon’s confidence by handing Sowol a mysterious envelope he prepared in advance. Surprised by the unexpected gift, Sowol carefully opens it as Jang Woo-hyuk hints, “There’s a huge secret inside.” Viewers are left wondering what’s hidden in the envelope.

When Chun Myung-hoon briefly steps out, Jang Woo-hyuk asks Sowol, “Was there ever a moment when Myung-hoon made your heart flutter?” The answer—and the outcome of Chun Myung-hoon’s ‘proposal mission’ with backup from the ‘78z’—will be revealed on the 177th episode of Groom’s Class at 9:30 p.m. KST on the 20th.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-jin previously shared on Groom’s Class in May that his assets include KRW 500 million (approx. $370,000 USD) from a Taiwanese drama, a deposit of KRW 2 billion (approx. $1.5 million USD), KRW 200–300 million (approx. $150,000–$220,000 USD) in cash, and KRW 500 million (approx. $370,000 USD) in stocks, totaling assets of KRW 3.3 billion (approx. $2.4 million USD).
