Singer Lee Miju went into her blind date on the 18th already dressed more carefully than usual, and she made no effort to hide the nerves. The video, uploaded to her YouTube channel Just Lee Miju under the title "Doctor VS Model," was structured as a rotation blind date: instead of sitting with one person for the full session, she moved between two men in sequence, a format that has become a recognizable fixture of the idol-adjacent YouTube content space.

An unusual setup, with idol stand-ins

The production added one more layer to the format. AB6IX's Jeon Woong and Golden Child's Jangjun were brought in as what the channel called "avatar" participants, tasked with observing both dates and making a recommendation on Lee Miju's behalf. It is the kind of conceit that works partly because it removes the awkwardness of a direct on-camera verdict, and partly because two idol friends debating a woman's romantic options makes for better television than one person deliberating alone.

Meeting the dermatologist

The first date was with the dermatologist. Lee Miju moved quickly through the basics, name, age, job, and within the first few minutes asked whether she could come visit him at his clinic. When he mentioned his MBTI was ESFJ, she said it was a personality type she genuinely gets along with. After the session ended, she went straight to Jeon Woong and Jangjun and told them she already wanted to go for a second round that evening.

Meeting the model-trainer

The production team asked her to push a little harder going into the second date. Her next partner worked as both a trainer and a model. The conversation moved through fitness, and at one point she asked him to show off his biceps. The exchange sharpened when marriage came up: he said he wanted to marry at 33, and Lee Miju, who is 31, responded that there was not much time left and they had better start now. She followed up with questions about the style of wedding venue he preferred and where he would want to honeymoon.

The choice

Jeon Woong and Jangjun, having watched both sessions, pushed for the dermatologist. He was older, they said, and more settled. Lee Miju acknowledged some hesitation, she found it a little intimidating to learn he had been top of his class, but after thinking it over, she came back to the first date. "I felt like the conversation flowed," she said. "It was genuine."

The dermatologist responded by leaving his number. He told the camera that she was more attractive than he had expected, that she matched what he looks for, and that he wanted to share a meal with her. Both said they were open to meeting again.

Lee Miju, born in 1994, is 31 this year.
