Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) and Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) end XO, Kitty Season 2 on the precipice of adventure. After a season of grand gestures and loaded glances, Kitty decides it might just be time for her and her enemy-turned-friend-turned-crush to finally be together. “Wait! Can I join you?” she asks, eliciting a mysterious head nod from Min Ho.
Is he inviting her along on his family’s upcoming pop-star world tour? Is that the latest dance move taking over KISS? Or does Min Ho simply need to stretch his neck?
Well, the answer is finally here, ahead of the XO, Kitty Season 3 premiere on April 2. The first two minutes of the upcoming episode — which you can watch above — reveal the immediate aftermath of Kitty’s question. Series showrunner Valentina Garza knows you’ve been waiting to find out what’s next for your favorite will they, won’t they duo at the Korean Independent School of Seoul.
“We thought it was important to come back and hear what Min Ho has to say and let that lead us into this next adventure in Season 3,” Garza tells Tudum. “This season is very much about Kitty learning that life rarely goes as planned — that sometimes you just have to let go of expectations and let life surprise you.”
The clip reveals that Kitty and Min Ho’s conversation will serve up one such curveball at the very beginning of Season 3. As the pair walks through campus, reformed playboy Min Ho asks Kitty if she really wants to go on tour with him. Feeling put on the spot, she laughs at such a suggestion, despite her true feelings. But fate intends to keep these two together, as Eunice (Han Bi Ryu) arrives just in time to invite Kitty to the first stop on the tour: Busan.
And just like that, Kitty is preparing to “set sail” on her first (hopefully!) romantic trip with Min Ho — she just needs a few minutes to pack her bags. Garza wants viewers to prepare for the “extraordinary set piece” that is XO, Kitty’s yacht getaway to Busan. “It’s such a glamorous, exciting launch to this season,” the showrunner says. “So we’re just so excited to be able to bring our fans along on this journey in Korea and live that kind of K-drama fantasy while we’re exploring these really grounded character stories as well.”
However, the excitement doesn’t stop in Busan. XO, Kitty Season 3 follows its titular teen matchmaker as she returns for her final year at KISS with her perfect senior year mapped out. She’s going to create meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future. And Kitty plans to define her relationship with Min Ho — for real this time. But as the trailer reveals, “mixed signals,” judgmental dads, and annoying phone calls might interfere with her “Senior Sunset” plans. Along the way, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.
So, will Kitty and Min Ho ever share their first kiss? Or will they just head back to KISS for senior year? Tune into XO, Kitty Season 3 on April 2 to find out — and keep an eye out for one very familiar face.
