Kim Dae-ho's 'Smile Skyrockets' at Yoo In-young's Appearance on 'Help Me Homes'… A Fleeting Spark Ends in Laughter

On the MBC variety show ‘Help Me Homes,’ broadcaster Kim Dae-ho's excitement soared with the appearance of his peer, actress Yoo In-young.

In the episode aired on the 30th, Kim Dae-ho and Yoo In-young embarked on a house-hunting mission together. Before diving into the property tour, Yoo In-young, present in the studio, revealed her fondness for house hunting. She particularly surprised everyone by expressing her interest in properties acquired through auctions or public sales.

"I'm very interested in rural houses and older homes. As I went on this viewing trip, I thought, 'If it's good, I might buy it myself,'" she added. She also mentioned her interest in renovating old houses, though she had no prior experience. In response, the panel recommended Kim Dae-ho, calling him 'the master of renovating old homes,' as he had personally renovated two such properties.

Regarding the outing with Yoo In-young, Kim Dae-ho commented, "We shared many realistic conversations while looking around." When asked if they went alone, he playfully retorted, "Why? We went together!" This prompted Yang Se-chan to speculate, "Did you wear cologne today?" Kim Dae-ho attempted to flirt by saying, "I don't know, but my In-young is my age." He expressed admiration for seeing a different, more easygoing side to Yoo In-young, contrasting with her usual charismatic image.

Later, Kim Dae-ho greeted Yoo In-young in a gentle announcer's tone, saying, "My name is Kim Dae-ho," but he couldn't make eye contact and stammered, "Please give me a script. I don't know where to start."

Upon hearing Yoo In-young, also born in 1984, say, "Nice to meet you, friend," Kim Dae-ho exclaimed in surprise, "I thought you were much younger!" He then asked if they could speak casually. However, Yoo In-young replied, "I thought you were much older. Let's do that once we get to know each other better," which elicited laughter.

During the house tour, when Yoo In-young was asked if she would consider living a 'nomadic life,' she firmly rejected the idea, stating her preference for stability, leading the panel to cheer them on, saying, "It's about finding common ground. Getting to know each other."

However, after viewing the first house, their romantic spark quickly fizzled out due to their vastly different values. When Kim Dae-ho repeatedly brought up the weather, the panel members laughed, remarking, "Your emotions must be quite hurt."

Netizens who watched the broadcast commented, 'Kim Dae-ho is acting so cute even though he's the same age as Yoo In-young,' 'Isn't he genuinely crushing on her?', and 'The romance ended quickly, but both were so funny.'
