Lee Jun-young and Jung Eun-ji’s Romance Heats Up in ‘Pump Up the Healthy Love’
Lee Jun-young (이준영) and Jung Eun-ji (정은지) finally crossed into couple territory in the latest KBS2 episode of Pump Up the Healthy Love (24시 헬스클럽), airing June 4. Fans were thrilled as Hyun-jung and Mi-ran confirmed their feelings with a passionate confession followed by a heart-fluttering kiss.
In episode 11, escalating tension led to an emotional showdown between the two characters. After sharing memorable moments, like indulging in tteokbokki, their budding romance took a spicy turn.
Hyun-jung, gearing up for a cover shoot with Muscleman Korea, struggled with his new diet. Memories of tteokbokki haunted him, leading to comical hallucinations of dumbbells resembling the popular dish.
Meanwhile, Mi-ran felt hurt by his sudden emotional retreat. Attempting to flirt with support from her sister, her efforts hit a wall when Hyun-jung remained standoffish. Learning about a potential job in Hawaii, Mi-ran vanished from the gym scene.
Realizing his true feelings too late, Hyun-jung stumbled upon Mi-ran at a tteokbokki shop. In a poignant moment, he confessed:
“It wasn’t the tteokbokki I craved… it was eating it with you.”
Determined, he ditched his modeling plans and found her at a ‘Mountain Gym.’ There, he shared another heartfelt confession:
“I used to want to burn off your fat, but now, I find it adorable. You’re no longer just my gym member. I like you.”
Mi-ran responded with a kiss, marking the official start of their romance.
The finale of Pump Up the Healthy Love airs tonight (June 5) at 9:50 PM KST. Fans can’t wait to see how this just-blooming love story wraps up.
