The EXchange Season 4 Episode 20 preview felt overwhelming to many viewers because the much-awaited ex-date finally arrives in this episode. This episode felt more important as it kept two exes in a setting, making them face unresolved feelings towards their former mate. After the exhausting Truth Game in the previous episode, it seemed like all the participants were back to square one. Nobody seems absolutely sure of their feelings, which makes Episode 20 one of the most awaited episodes ever.
The ex-date’s timing is none more critical with only a few episodes left before the finale. The crash of old memories, regrets still carried, and questions not asked until now and foreseen in the preview-that some relationships could be taking turns in unexpected directions. Transit Love Season 4 (환승연애 시즌4) panellists include Kim Ye-won, Simon D, Yura, and Lee Yong-jin. The Participants for this season are Park Hyeon-ji, Kwak Min-kyung, Cho Yoo-sik, Kim Woo-jin, Choi Yun-nyeong, Hong Ji-yeon, Lee Jae-hyeong, Seung-yong, Park Ji-hyeon, Jung Won-kyu, and Sung Baek-hyun.
EXchange Season 4 Episode 20 Preview
Transit Love Season 4 Episode 20 preview confirms that the ex-date is finally happening, starting with Won-kyu and Ji-hyeon, who spend time together on a peaceful beachside date. Their relaxed atmosphere quickly gets emotional as Won-kyu reflects on his past regrets, openly wondering why he never came to places like this with Ji-hyeon when they were still dating. His words clearly suggest that his feelings for her have not faded and that he still longs for a second chance.
Other highly anticipated pairing: Yoo-sik and Min-kyung. Their ex-date was much-awaited by the fans as eight years is a long time, and this means a lot of emotional baggage between them. In the previous episodes, Min-kyung has been struggling to find out if they can still be each other’s endgame. The preview shows them wearing matching outfits, including Yoo-sik feeding Min-kyung with so much tenderness, just like he used to show during their relationship. These moments show that the connection might be fractured, but it is far from dead.
The preview of Episode 20 of Transit Love Season 4 also shows the ex-date of Baek-hyun and Hyeon-ji, which seems to be full of emotion. The scenes of them holding hands show that this date may play an important role in their final decisions. Baek-hyun confesses that he wishes they had more time, while his subtle hint of suggesting that Hyeon-ji should turn her attention back toward him shows that feelings are still there between them.

EXchange Season 4 Episode 19 Recap
Episode 19 of EXchange Season 4 starts off with special guests Sung Hanbin and Zhang Hao from ZEROBASEONE, adding excitement before emotions take over the house. Seung-yong later approaches Min-kyung to apologise, believing that his presence caused more tension between her and Yoo-sik. Min-kyung reassures him, making it clear that he is not responsible for their conflicts.
Afterwards is Ji-hyeon and Jae-hyeong’s date, which feels so easy-going and natural that their connection with each other seems real. On the other hand, Yoo-sik and Hyeon-ji’s date appears to be getting more romantic. The gentle way Yoo-sik smiles at her, corrects minor details, and pays full attention to her makes them look more like a real couple rather than a temporary pair-up.
Won-kyu and Ji-yeon’s date is more about emotional closure, as they showed interest in each other earlier, but both realise that their hearts are drifting back toward their exes. Meanwhile, Yun-nyeong and Baek-hyun go on a surfing date, during which their chemistry becomes more visible when they genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
The atmosphere shifts dramatically when the group gathers for the Truth Game, which makes the whole episode a turning point. Seung-yong asks Hyeon-ji if her feelings have changed; she is uncertain about that and says there hasn’t been any emotional shift that is recognisable. Already in this answer, there was uncertainty.
Hyeon-ji then asks Yoo-sik if he has ever clearly expressed his feelings to a girl he likes. The honest answer-that is, he has not-leaves Hyeon-ji visibly confused, for she had expected a more direct answer. Later, Yoo-sik asks Hyeon-ji whether she would have been swayed if Baek-hyun had pursued her more strongly from the beginning. Her reply-that she would not base her decision on emotion alone-leaves Yoo-sik unsettled.
Min-kyung doesn’t understand Hyeon-ji’s behaviour and urges her to explain why she keeps hesitating till the end. Hyeon-ji replies that time was too short and many conversations remained unspoken between them, thus indicating that her heart is still undecided.
The attention now turns to Won-kyu and Ji-yeon, who talk about the moments that made their hearts flutter the most during their dates. Their dialogue feels more like a reminiscence than a romance, which conveys grieving rather than forecasting new beginnings. Ji-hyeon’s interrogation about Won-kyu’s giving Ji-yeon clothes inadvertently raises tension, particularly because not all are privy to the incident.
Later in EXchange Season 4 Episode 19, Ji-hyeon confesses that Yoo-sik’s consideration was the most touching aspect of his personality to her and further describes him as always putting others before himself. Jae-hyeong then poses a question to Ji-hyeon, inquiring if her date that day has any influence on her final decision, to which she reluctantly agrees, saying it might be the case.
Baek-hyun’s inquiry to Hyeon-ji regarding the curry he made surprisingly elicits a very emotional reaction from her, as she dubs it the best she has ever tasted. Yun-nyeong’s unease becomes more apparent, particularly since Baek-hyun is still gazing at his former partner with fondness. Baek-hyun, unafraid, even points out to Yoo-sik that if he (Baek-hyun) were to genuinely try to win Hyeon-ji over, would Yoo-sik still keep going after her? To which, Yoo-sik confesses that he wouldn’t back off if his heart was truly in that direction.
One of the most touching scenes of Transit Love Season 4 Episode 19 occurs when Min-kyung inquires of Yoo-sik to characterise the future he once envisioned with her. Yoo-sik admits that he could never imagine a life without Min-kyung and that his desire was always to see her happy. Afterwards, Woo-jin urges Min-kyung to pour her whole self into it so that she won’t have any regrets. Min-kyung answers with soft assertiveness, saying that regardless of what happens, Yoo-sik will regret it because she has given him her whole love.
When the Truth Game is over, a significant change in the house’s mood is noticed. Even the most stable couples now look doubtful, while the desire to get back with the exes is at its highest. The Episode 19 of Transit Love Season 4 finishes with the whole group getting a text that says the following day will be the ex-date—some people are eager, and others are very worried.
