"I felt like I would regret it if I didn't say it"... Kim Min-young's late confession

In the video, Kim revealed to Preference that she had no interest in anyone else from the start. She explained that while watching Preference converse with others and establish relationships, she wanted to initiate a conversation but found it difficult to approach him. She added that she decided to convey her feelings toward the end of the program because "I felt like I would regret it if I didn't say it." She shared that she brought up the topic simply because she wanted him to know how she felt.

Kim mentioned that since she could see where Preference's heart was leaning, she did not want to force anything; she emphasized that she acted this way because she saw him as a man, not to place a burden on him. Furthermore, she revealed that while she used the title "Oppa" for other participants, she was unable to use a title for Preference due to her hesitation, instead calling him things like "Someone" or "That Person." Kim shared her inner thoughts, stating that she wanted to break through this difficulty by calling him "Oppa" today.

Preference's reaction: "Thank you for telling me honestly"

Upon hearing Kim's confession, Preference expressed both apology and gratitude. Regarding her sharing her honest feelings, Preference reacted by saying, "It feels really good, and I'm truly thankful that you told me."

While maintaining the position that nothing has been decided yet, Preference maintained a positive attitude toward her courage.

Kim added, telling Preference not to worry too much, as she felt she was the only one being timid while all the other participants were being proactive. The conversation between the two concluded by foreshadowing the future direction of their relationship. Kim focused on making her feelings known, and Preference continued the conversation by accepting her sincerity.
