Get ready for some delightful chemistry as Kim Jong-kook is set to team up with his 'soul twin,' actor Jung Moon-sung, forming what seems to be the 'Scrooge Brothers' on KBS2's 'Problem Child in House.'

'Problem Child in House,' which has been filling our brains with all sorts of trivia for the past seven years, features a dopamine-fueled quiz battle among problem solvers Song Eun-yi, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae.

This upcoming Thursday, October 20th, the show welcomes actors Yoo Joon-sang and Jung Moon-sung as guests. Amidst the fun, 'Jong-scrooge' Kim Jong-kook's eyes sparkle with admiration for Jung Moon-sung's financial savvy.

Jung Moon-sung revealed his dream of living independently about ten years ago. However, Kim Jong-kook strongly advised against it, humorously stating, "Moon-sung, it costs a lot of money. Don't move out."

Jung Moon-sung's 'Moon-scrooge' persona captivated 'Jong-scrooge' Kim Jong-kook. When Jung Moon-sung mentioned wanting to 'flex' a car with his savings, Kim Jong-kook muttered with a hint of regret, "You should buy a house."

As if reading Kim Jong-kook's mind, Jung Moon-sung then shared, "Instead of a car, I used the money I saved from my acting career to buy my mother an apartment in Jeju Island," eliciting a proud smile from Kim Jong-kook.

Furthermore, when Jung Moon-sung shared, "I bought a small car and have been driving it for over ten years," Kim Jong-kook gazed at him with affection, clearly approving. Joo Woo-jae noticed this and commented, "Jung Moon-sung is the type of person Jong-kook hyung would love." Kim Jong-kook readily agreed, "Jung Moon-sung is my perfect ideal type," making the other members laugh.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook held a private wedding ceremony on September 5th in Seoul, attended by family and close acquaintances. 'Problem Child in House' airs every Thursday at 8:30 PM on KBS 2TV.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically, with comments like, "Kim Jong-kook and Jung Moon-sung are so similar! I'm looking forward to their brotherly chemistry," "As expected, Kim Jong-kook is a saver! It's interesting that their ideal types are the same," and "It's heartwarming to see actor Jung Moon-sung being so filial to his mother."
