[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Jo Yu-kyung, a cast member on the dating reality show “Pursuit of Intimate Encounters EP.2,” is drawing attention after it was revealed that she is the younger sister of actress Jo Bo-ah.

On the 20th, a teaser for the new dating reality show “Intimate Encounters EP.2,” produced by TEO—a production company run by PD Kim Tae-ho—was released. The video featured cast members who work at major corporations. Jo Yu-kyung introduced herself as working in the marketing team at Company L. She gained popularity during the first-impression selection round by receiving votes from three men.
Amid growing attention for dating cultures that allow people to get to know each other efficiently in a short time—such as rotation blind dates and singles parties—"Samanchu" reflects this trend by offering customized matchmaking based on the common ground of being office workers. It facilitates more efficient yet genuine encounters based on verified information and realistic conditions. In particular, starting with the first episode featuring a 3-on-3 meeting between men and women from “Samjeonix,” the show plans to introduce new concepts each episode, offering entertainment that sets it apart from existing dating programs.
Meanwhile, “Sammanchu” premiered on the 13th at 6:00 p.m.
