Lee Jun Young’s Feelings Deepen As Jeong Eun Ji Melts His Guard In “Pump Up The Healthy Love”

KBS2’s “Pump Up the Healthy Love” has hinted at a heart-fluttering shift in Lee Jun Young and Jeong Eun Ji’s relationship!

“Pump Up the Healthy Love” is a romantic comedy starring Lee Jun Young as passionate gym owner Do Hyeon Joong, a former bodybuilding champion who drastically changes the lives of his gym members. Apink’s Jeong Eun Ji plays Lee Mi Ran, an assistant manager at a travel agency who joins his gym to get over a recent breakup.

Previously, Mi Ran offered quiet but heartfelt support when Hyeon Joong spiraled into a slump following the death of his ex-girlfriend Kang Sol (Park Hae In), even disappearing from the gym. Her comfort stirred something new in Hyeon Joong’s heart, culminating in his indirect confession, leaving viewers swooning.

With only two episodes remaining, newly released stills tease a meaningful turning point for the pair. Hyeon Joong and Mi Ran enjoy a sweet date: eating tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), strolling together, and sharing a magical moment under the season’s first snowfall. Their growing closeness radiates warmth, with their easy banter and chemistry now resembling that of a real couple.

In particular, Hyeon Joong’s gaze reveals a noticeable change. While he still fumbles with his feelings, Mi Ran looks at him with affectionate ease, finding his awkwardness endearing—adding even more charm to their budding romance.

Adding a touch of humor, one scene captures Hyeon Joong hesitating in front of a plate of tteokbokki—a dish he once called “junk food.” Now clearly hooked, his newfound cravings are both funny and telling. His solo visit to the tteokbokki shop hints at more than just a snack—it suggests he’s finally embracing his feelings.

The next episode of “Pump Up the Healthy Love” will air on June 4 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
