Finally, comedian and businessman Joo Byung-jin, who is entering middle age, has embarked on a new challenge for love. He revealed an extraordinary presence during his first date with a blind date on the tvN STORY entertainment program ‘Can We Love Now’. The attention was drawn to the fact that the car used for the date was the ‘Bentley Continental GT’, known for its expensive foreign car.
Joo Byung-jin was a comedian who dominated the broadcasting industry in the 1980s. However, after dedicating himself to personal business, he temporarily halted his broadcasting activities and has now returned to entertainment programs in his middle age, showing a friendly side to viewers.
He initially hesitated to appear on the program. But with the persuasion of the production team, Joo Byung-jin gathered the courage and started dating with a serious heart, saying, “Now I feel ready to love.”
The choice for her, the Bentley Continental GT, left a strong impression during his date scenes. Bentley is a luxury car brand known for its sophisticated design and excellent performance.
The Continental GT, which has been consistently popular since its initial release in 2003, is a coupe-style grand tourer (GT) model. The 1st generation Continental GT driven by Joo Byung-jin is praised for its classic elegance and powerful performance.
This vehicle is characterized by two pairs of circular headlights, a central vertical line radiator grille, and a smooth curve roof line. The interior harmonizes an infotainment system based on Volkswagen Group’s technology and an ‘H’ shaped gear lever, enhancing the luxury with Bentley’s unique wood grain decoration and metal details. Despite its high price of 295 million won at the time of release, it continues to be loved.
Thanks to its popularity, the latest generation of the Continental GT, W12 engine, with a maximum output of 552 horsepower, and accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, has been introduced in the domestic market recently. With a top speed of 318 km/h, it boasts powerful performance.
While driving the Continental GT that day, Joo Byung-jin enjoyed a drive with his blind date. The conversations shared and subtle excitement during the drive made one feel his sincere desire to start a new love.
Despite being a long-awaited dating challenge, he showcased his own charm and provided romantic inspiration to the middle-aged generation by being accompanied by a luxurious vehicle.
Joo Byung-jin, who has achieved success in both broadcasting and business, proves that his life is still ongoing through the new love and challenges shown in this program. Now that he has just crossed the threshold of middle age, there is growing interest in what kind of ending he will face.
