The fifth episode of Netflix’s reality series My Korean Boyfriend shows one Brazilian woman taking a bold step into the world of app-based dating in Seoul. Camilla, a Korean-born woman raised in Brazil, went on a blind date with Jeong Yoo-chan, a model she matched with online. The episode follows their first meeting, from initial nerves over shared drinks to plans for a potential second date involving an unexpected physical challenge.
The Build-Up to the Blind Date
Camilla’s journey to the date began with help from her friend, Katy. Together, they searched through profiles on a dating app, looking for potential matches. Camilla decided on a direct approach to choose her date. She sent a message to her matches saying, “I’ll ask him to take me to try the intestine. I’m gonna send that to everyone. The first one to answer gets a date”. Jeong Yoo-chan was the first to respond, leading to their plans to meet.
On her way to the restaurant, Camilla shared her mixed feelings about the process with the cameras, calling dating apps a “necessary evil.” She tried to calm her nerves by focusing on the food, telling herself, “Chill, Camilla. Just think about eating intestine. Everything else is a bonus. Let’s go. No expectations”.
How the First Meeting Unfolded
Camilla arrived at the restaurant and met Jeong Yoo-chan. The initial moments involved a small language barrier, as he first tried to speak Portuguese. Camilla quickly put him at ease by informing him that she knows Korean. Their conversation began with casual topics like drinks and food, and Jeong Yoo-chan asked about her childhood memories of Korea.
“He seems normal. I think everything will be fine,” Camilla confessed to the cameras after their first few minutes of conversation.
As they settled in, the pair received their drinks. Camilla noticed that Jeong Yoo-chan drank his entire toast very quickly. When she asked him about it, he admitted to being nervous, revealing his heart was beating fast. He shared that this was only his second blind date ever. Camilla also confessed she was feeling nervous, creating a moment of mutual understanding.
Dinner, Conversation, and Future Plans
The main event of the date was a Korean dish that Camilla had been eager to try since arriving in the country. Jeong Yoo-chan explained the various components of the meal to her. At first, Camilla was slightly challenged by the smoke coming from the dish cooking on a stove at their table, but after tasting it, she enjoyed it. She emphasized her excitement about the food, telling him, “I came to Korea just to eat this. I mean it”.
As the date progressed, the conversation turned to the future. Jeong Yoo-chan asked Camilla if she would be interested in a second date. His proposal was specific and athletic: he suggested they go on a five-kilometer run together. Camilla countered with a suggestion for a shorter, two-kilometer run, after which they could get something to eat. This exchange ended their first meeting on a note that hinted at a possible next chapter.
Camilla’s Life and Background
The date with Jeong Yoo-chan was a significant step for Camilla, whose personal story is deeply connected to Korea. She was born in South Korea but left the country with her family when she was just three years old. A major reason for her return to Seoul was to confront unresolved feelings about her home country, including a visit to the hospital where she was born. Professionally, as of late 2025, Camilla works as a National Key Account Manager and is represented by a marketing agency. She has a significant following on Instagram, where she shares glimpses of her personal life and travels.
Where Camilla and Jeong Yoo-chan Stand Now
The show documents two dates between Camilla and Jeong Yoo-chan. During their time together, Jeong Yoo-chan expressed that he truly liked her and stated his desire to keep in contact even after she returned to Brazil. Currently, the two follow each other on Instagram, but a lack of public interaction suggests they may have chosen to keep the details of their bond private or maintain a cordial friendship.
Since the show, Jeong Yoo-chan has continued his career as a professional model and has also opened his own restaurant, Odeng Bar, in Seoul. The episode concludes the next morning with Camilla’s fellow cast members asking her about the date. She reported that it was fine and that things went well, promising to share more details if a second date happened.
