The sixth episode of "Nice to Not Meet You" commences with the maddening failure of Jeong-sin's rice cooker at her abode, a mishap that finds her perusing the Onion app for a replacement. Unwittingly, her digital foray leads her into a virtual conversation with Hyeon-jun, whose face she can't help but admire. When they finally meet in the flesh, both are shrouded in anonymity, their identities concealed behind masks. Jeong-sin, a fan through and through, pours him a drink adorned with Hyeon-jun's image and professes her unconditional affection.
Back at home, Hyeon-jun muses over her words, reaching out to check on the newly acquired rice cooker's status and confessing his own fandom for Kang Pil-gu. He offers fan merchandise, which she politely declines.
At the office, Ae-suk seeks Mr. Hwang's assistance in securing acting gigs, only to be interrupted by Oh Mi-ran, Jae-hyeong's mother, who bursts in, casting blame on the scandal involving Hyeon-jun and Ae-suk for reviving her own past as an erotic actress.
Meanwhile, Jeong-sin endeavors to uncover more about Se-na, learning that she has a sponsor and even obtains her contact number from Hwa-young. Jeong-sin attempts to initiate an interview but is cut off by Se-na.
Hong-sin attends an audition for a younger version of Kang Pil-gu, only to be called out by Hyeon-jun for altering lines and reinterpreting the character unnecessarily. Hyeon-jun fails him, and later, Mr. Hwang rebukes Hyeon-jun for already knowing Hong-sin was Jeong-sin's brother. Despite his protestations of unintentionality.
Jeong-sin takes matters into her own hands, penning negative articles about Se-na that indeed garner her attention. They meet, and Jeong-sin probes if she's involved with a powerful individual. Se-na asserts that the relationship will soon end, instead requesting Jeong-sin to write about her and Hyeon-jun.
At home, Seon-u brings up Hong-sin's audition with Hyeon-jun. Hyeon-jun chastises Hong-sin for his overconfidence and his lack of self-awareness regarding his role in the industry. Seon-u retorts that in that case, Hyeon-jun should adhere to Kang Pil-gu and refrain from grabbing roles in romantic dramas.
Jeong-sin persists in inquiring about Se-na's boyfriend and his ties with Assemblyman Ha Gee-wan, but Se-na remains elusive, choosing instead to impart another tip: a veteran actor named Yoon Jung-ho is reportedly dating a psychiatrist who is 30 years his junior.
Back at home, Hong-sin informs Jeong-sin that his friend desires a rice cooker as well. Jeong-sin texts Hyeon-jun on the Onion app, enquiring if he has an extra one. To avoid being labeled a commercial seller, Hyeon-jun claims he doesn't. Their conversation deepens, as they chat further about Kang Pil-gu and get to know each other over the next few hours.
The next day, Jeong-sin follows up on Se-na's tip and visits Hyeon-jun's psychiatrist. However, she bumps into Hyeon-jun there. She insists she's there for a story, and the doctor hails a car. Jeong-sin insists that Hyeon-jun drive them both so she can follow the car.
At Sports Eunseong's office, Hwa-young asks Jae-hyeong to take her out for dinner, revealing that she left him while he was recovering from a accident that left him with a broken right leg, and married three months later.
After several hours of tailing the other car, Hyeon-jun reminds Jeong-sin that she owes him an article. She agrees. They spot the psychiatrist and the car's driver entering a hotel, but Jeong-sin fails to capture a photo of the couple. She then insists on staking out the hotel. Jeong-sin enters the hotel just as the fire alarm rings. The psychiatrist runs out with Yoon Jung-ho, and Jeong-sin captures her pictures. On their way back, they discuss dating, with Jeong-sin revealing that she has never lasted beyond the two-month mark. She then brings up Se-na, which irritates Hyeon-jun. He accuses her of exposing people's private matters and making them uncomfortable. When he drops her off, he declares that they should not meet again.
That night, their slumber was plagued by restlessness, and Hyeon-jun found himself reaching out to her via the Onion app, a digital bridge that connected them amidst their turmoil. He recounted his former reverence for his mother, shattered by the revelation of her true nature. Now, he felt she stood as an obstacle in his professional path. Conversely, Jeong-sin yearned for the comforts and care of a family unit. Their decision to speak over a call on the upcoming Friday was born out of this shared turmoil.
As the article about Yoon Jung-ho and the doctor gained viral momentum, it sparked a barrage of offensive comments from the masses. Jeong-sin realized the validity in Hyeon-jun's words and confided in Hwa-young her desire to step down. The company hosted a farewell party for her, where she found herself unsteadily navigating through a sea of alcohol-fueled emotions.
Meanwhile, Yoon Jung-ho held a press conference, shocking all with the revelation that the psychiatrist was his biological daughter! He also announced his intention to sue both Sports Eunseong and Jeong-sin.
When it was time for Hyeon-jun's call with Jeong-sin, he dialed her number to find a male voice on the other end—it was Jae-hyeong, dropping her off from the party. Unfortunately, this led Hyeon-jun to assume a wrong conclusion that she was either dating or married, adding another layer of confusion to their already complex situation.
