When the morning of the fourth day of 'Single House' arrived, Ricky and Harim, who had confirmed their feelings for each other the night before, created a warm atmosphere by preparing breakfast together. However, Sora, who had lost feelings for Ricky, appeared with swollen eyes and said, "I can't control my emotions." Benita and Jisoo seeing this comforted Sora by saying, “Harim took this opportunity to express his feelings more honestly than us.”
The next dating mission is a group date split into basketball and K-board games. Ricky Benita, Sora, Jerome Harim chose basketball, and Dewey, Jimmy Jisoo and Tom Heejin chose K-board games. However, Ricky, Harim, Jerome, and Benita showed off their vibes throughout the group date, and Sora, who was left alone, couldn't hide his loneliness.

Harim is 35 years old, Ricky is 39 years old, Heejin is 36 years old, Tom is 44 years old and Dewey is 39 years old. It is later revealed that Jimmy is 38 years old, Bettina is 37 years old, Sora is 33 years old, and Jisoo is 32 years old, forming a Korean-style age hierarchy.
Finally, Jerome, who was told, "I think I'm the youngest out of the 10 contestants," surprised everyone by saying, "I'm 46 years old and the oldest here." Jerome confessed: "When I lived in Korea for 10 years, I worked in the entertainment industry. From the late 90s to the mid-2000s, I worked as an entertainer, including VJ, singer and actors".
Jerome then revealed that his ex-wife is a famous choreographer and added, "Because she is a public figure, I had to ask permission before appearing on Idol Singles 4." Previously, it was known that Jerome's ex-wife was choreographer Bae Yoon-jung, which attracted attention.
He also appealed: "I had a lot of worries when applying to participate in Idol Singles 4 because of my age and experience in the entertainment industry. I thought I wouldn't be chosen but I applied because I honestly want to find love." . Regardless of my past, I hope people will see me as I am now."
Benita couldn't get over the shock after hearing this. Jerome, who was worried about Benita, declared, “From now on, I will move forward no matter what.” However, Benita was cautious when saying, "I don't think the age difference is that big. There are other important things." And in a later interview with the production team, he expressed his feelings: "I feel burdened by the situation of attracting more attention because I am already a celebrity."
After a stormy night, at dawn when everyone was fast asleep, Tom and Benita were seen going down to the living room and having some private time. Benita began by saying, "I don't think there's much of an age difference (with Tom). I tend to get along with older people." Tom added to the excitement by asking her out on a surprise date, saying, "I think you're the most laid-back person. It would be fun to go on a date with you tomorrow."
