[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 19th, SBS's 'My Ugly Duckling' featured Lee Sangmin's housewarming party, where Tak Jaehoon, Lim Wonhee, Park Soohong, Kim Jongkook, and Kim Heechul were invited and shared candid conversations.


During the broadcast, Kim Jongkook, while setting the table, saw nanjawanseu and said, "This is my first time seeing nanjawanseu," which prompted his mother to call him "unsophisticated." When Tak Jaehoon kept grumbling about money, the mothers enjoyed it, saying, "Tak Jaehoon is funny." Kim Jongkook told Park Soohong, who was gathering the dishes, "Just eat, why bother with the dishes?" but Kim Heechul persistently collected the dishes, causing laughter. Also, Kim Heechul praised Lee Sangmin's flower pork belly stew, saying, "Your cooking has improved a lot," and Lee Sangmin calmly responded, "I've let it all go," drawing attention.


At the gathering, the unmarried men Park Soohong, Kim Jongkook, and Kim Heechul sat at one table, while the divorced men Tak Jaehoon, Lim Wonhee, and Lee Sangmin sat opposite them, discussing marriage. When Kim Heechul asked Lim Wonhee, "Do you want to get married again?" Lim Wonhee answered, "Yes." Then Tak Jaehoon, sitting nearby, pointed out, "You have to. You're living too miserably."


When asked if he wanted to remarry, Tak Jaehoon replied, "I didn't think about it before, but lately, it's fifty-fifty." Lee Sangmin said, "I'm saying this for your sake, but before you know it, you'll be looking at your 60s or 70s..." to which Tak Jaehoon responded, "Then I'll remarry then." When Lim Wonhee said, "We don't have much time left," Tak Jaehoon grumbled, "Why do you talk so sadly?" However, Lim Wonhee continued, "We won't live forever, so if you're going to do it, don't hesitate and do it quickly to be happy."


Lee Sangmin also said, "I want to do it again. I want to raise kids and go on family trips," adding, "I envy the sight of families traveling together even if it's uncomfortable." Lim Wonhee strongly agreed with this.

When the topic of fighting with girlfriends came up, Kim Heechul said, "We don't fight much," while Park Soohong said, "I fight fiercely. I once developed vocal cord nodules after fighting with my girlfriend," making the members burst into laughter.


When Kim Jongkook asked the divorced men, "Why did you get divorced? I'm really curious," Lim Wonhee looked embarrassed. Kim Heechul also expressed curiosity, saying, "Divorce isn't a flaw," but Tak Jaehoon said, "These are situations that will happen to you all in the future," drawing complaints from the unmarried men.


Especially regarding whether to share the newlywed house password with the in-laws, everyone except Tak Jaehoon said they would not disclose it, leading to a barrage of questions. Park Soohong told Tak Jaehoon, "You told them before, and it didn't end well," emphasizing, "This is the root of many incidents." Lee Sangmin also supported not sharing the password, saying, "It's better to face and overcome difficulties once."


When Kim Heechul asked, "Did you tell your mother?" Lee Sangmin replied, "I didn't tell her, but she came often, which was a problem," causing the studio to erupt.


Additionally, Tak Jaehoon analyzed, "Kim Heechul lives sweetly but divorces over trivial things. Kim Jongkook is a bit conservative and frugal; his wife will run away because she can't stand the tightly scheduled life like exercise."



SBS variety show 'My Ugly Duckling' airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM.
