[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Comedian Choi Yang-rak and his daughter Choi Hana had an awkward conversation.

On the afternoon of the 30th, JTBC's 'Can't Be Number One' (hereafter 'Number One') aired a story about the family of Choi Yang-rak and Paeng Hyun-sook.

On this day, Choi Yang-rak's daughter Choi Hana visited home after a long time. However, the father and daughter created laughter with their awkward atmosphere.

During the conversation, Choi Yang-rak asked his daughter, "You're thirty now, right?" and Choi Hana replied, "I'm thirty-two," causing viewers to burst into laughter.

In an interview with the production team, Choi Yang-rak explained the reason for the awkwardness with his daughter, saying, "I think it's because we became disconnected in the middle. We've lived apart for a long time. It seems like we don't have common ground to talk about."

Choi Hana also said, "I saw my parents more through TV. Because of that, we didn't spend much time together. So it's awkward."

Paeng Hyun-sook explained, "Hana went abroad for study when she was in elementary school and came back after finishing university, so it was inevitable to be distant."

Choi Yang-rak asked about her current status, "Are you doing well with your lectures?" Choi Hana briefly answered, "Yes." Choi Yang-rak advised, "You should give good grades," and Choi Hana again gave a short reply, "I am," which made everyone laugh.

Eventually, Choi Hana said, "I'll call mom," and left the scene, bringing laughter. Then, Paeng Hyun-sook appeared and expressed pride that her daughter fulfilled her dream of becoming a professor.

Afterwards, Paeng Hyun-sook took out old albums with her family and spent time reminiscing about past memories. While looking at old photos, she suddenly became teary-eyed and recalled the past when she couldn't take good care of her children due to work.

Paeng Hyun-sook said, "The kids practically grew up in a cafe. Since Hyuk and Hana were young, we locked the door so they couldn't get out. Because if they went out, it was the road. We played videos for them, gave them toys every hour, and made rice balls for lunch. When going home, Hana said, 'Mom, I want to mix the freshly cooked rice with doenjang jjigae.' While I quickly made warm food for customers, I couldn't give warm meals to my children. Hyuk and Hana didn't live together for long. They grew up under their grandmother," she said, shedding tears.

Meanwhile, the daily life of comedian couple number two, Im Mi-sook and Kim Hak-rae, was revealed.

As soon as Im Mi-sook appeared, she grabbed Choi Yang-rak by the collar, blaming him for pushing her to marry Kim Hak-rae. Afterwards, she boldly revealed Kim Hak-rae's past affairs and gambling.

After working at a Chinese restaurant that they have run for a long time and returning home, Im Mi-sook realized late that she had left her cellphone at the restaurant. She tried to call using Kim Hak-rae's phone, but Kim Hak-rae ultimately did not hand over his phone to her, arousing curiosity.

Feeling hurt by Kim Hak-rae hiding his phone under the pretext of privacy, Im Mi-sook took out promissory notes she had received from Kim Hak-rae in the past and surprised everyone, saying, "You said you would be open with me, so why don't you help me in urgent times like this?"

Additionally, Im Mi-sook expressed her resentment to Kim Hak-rae, saying, "I developed airport anxiety and haven't traveled abroad even once in 30 years. Because you gambled and had affairs every day, I couldn't even tell you when I got sick. When people asked, 'Why is Im Mi-sook sick?' you didn't even know," she lamented.

Furthermore, she said, "I got this illness a year after we got married. At that time, there was no term called panic disorder. For 10 years, I went to church every day, prayed, and cried. After 10 years, people said, 'Im Mi-sook's face looks strange.' Actually, I said it was panic disorder, but you said, 'Is that the illness where you can't go to the airport?' I hid it for such a long time and cried alone. The most heartbreaking thing was not being able to travel or go shopping with my son," she said, shedding tears.

Paeng Hyun-sook and Park Mi-sun, who were watching in the studio, also shed tears at Im Mi-sook's confession. Afterwards, when her son came to comfort her, she finally regained her smile and reconciled with Kim Hak-rae.

Meanwhile, 'Can't Be Number One' airs every Sunday at 10 PM.
