Netflix aired episodes 4 through 6 of Better Late Than Single on July 15, 2025, where Jae-yun’s shift in demeanor took center stage. Initially quiet, he’s now revealing sides of himself that weren’t visible earlier.
In his recent date with Yeo-myung, Jae-yun finally voiced his long-held feelings. He even surprised viewers by referencing notes from her private journal. During the “5-Minute Library” segment (where cast members briefly access each other’s diaries), he was the first to enter and chose hers.
Admirers of the series are "proud" to witness the shift in his attitude and how he’s becoming more expressive. One X user said:
"you used to be so shy, but now you’re brave enough to confess. I’m so proud of you, Jaeyun!"

"Congrats on finding your courage jaeyun 🤧✊🏻 and this may have helped yeomyung find her confidence again 🥹," a user mentioned.
"This was like a coming-of-age movie scene 🤧 I am so proud of Jaehyun 👏 he does not have experience; thus, he was bound to hurt others and himself. but to see the growth after every moment, after every experience, was beautiful," a person shared.
Separately, Jae-yun addressed his awkward dynamic with Ji-yeon. After initially pulling away, knowing she was interested in him, he took responsibility and spoke honestly with her. The once-withdrawn participant now seems more willing to face emotions instead of sidestepping them.
"Okay I'm glad they finally communicate. Jaeyun learned to face the situation rather than being an avoidant. At least one thing about him, he's trying his best to improve. A big hug to Jiyeon for being SO understanding for someone who has social anxiety 🥹🥺," a netizen said.
"Jaeyun is older than me but his like a younger brother that i really root for. Even if he leaves single I'm hoping he changes for the best and be more confident, His really grown so much," a viewer noted.
"Seeing him break down in tears in his room actually broke my heart and then seeing him pick things back up and communicate with others oh jaeyun you are so precious🥹," another fan added.

He also revealed that the last time he held a woman’s hand was during a prayer in high school.
