Park Seo-jin Shines at First Fashion Week, Ji Sang-ryeol's Romance Blossoms on 'Salimnam'

KBS2's 'Salimnam' (Mr. House Husband) Season 2 captivated viewers with Park Seo-jin's thrilling debut at Seoul Fashion Week and the blossoming romance between Ji Sang-ryeol and Shin Bo-ram.

The episode aired on the 20th garnered a national viewership rating of 3.4%, with the highlight segment featuring Park Seo-jin, Kang Kyun-sung, and Kim Yong-myung dancing with an aerobic troupe of over 200 people reaching a peak of 4.8%.

The show kicked off with a lively appearance by Subin, former member of girl group Dal Shabet. Subin openly expressed her admiration for Park Seo-jin's visuals, playfully asking about his zodiac sign, which left the singer flustered yet amused.

The second part of Park Seo-jin's fashion week journey unfolded with Kang Kyun-sung serving his homemade 'Vitality Charge Juice.' When Kim Yong-myung questioned the juice's benefits, Kang Kyun-sung revealed his vow of abstinence, only to surprisingly backtrack when directly questioned by Park Seo-jin, admitting his last relationship was a year ago, much to everyone's shock.

Park Seo-jin humorously declared himself a 31-year 'Green Belt' (virgin), earning playful jabs from Eun Ji-won and Kim Yong-myung, who dubbed him an 'original saint.' He candidly shared that his busy schedule and fear of missing opportunities have kept him from dating.

Kim Yong-myung then took Park Seo-jin and Kang Kyun-sung to a massive aerobic event to boost their 'spirit.' Initially intimidated by the crowd, Park Seo-jin received a focused 'one-point training' from an energetic instructor, successfully recharging his confidence.

On the day of the '2026 S/S Seoul Fashion Week,' Park Seo-jin, though initially tense on the blue carpet, transformed into a professional for the photo session. He enjoyed the fashion show alongside numerous celebrities, actively embracing the new experience and successfully completing his fashion week debut.

Meanwhile, Ji Sang-ryeol, preparing for his first one-on-one date with flight attendant-turned-host Shin Bo-ram, received dating advice from Baek Ji-young, Eun Ji-won, and Park Seo-jin. Baek Ji-young humorously warned against bragging about his '350 million sperm' and making smacking noises.

Despite Park Seo-jin's 'born-single' status, he advised Ji Sang-ryeol, leading to playful banter. A key tip was to order white wine if he felt a romantic connection and red wine if he saw her as a casual acquaintance.

On the date, Ji Sang-ryeol demonstrated his consideration by requesting minimal camera presence for Shin Bo-ram, earning admiration from Eun Ji-won for his sincerity.

During their meeting, Ji Sang-ryeol ordered white wine, signaling his interest. He also cleverly used his Chinese zodiac sign (dog) to complement Shin Bo-ram's (tiger), hinting at compatibility. His bold statement about eating dog poop for his pet's sake further entertained the viewers.

Their honest conversation continued over a game of Love Jenga. When Shin Bo-ram expressed her liking for frequent meetings, Ji Sang-ryeol seized the opportunity, asking if that's why she came, to which she replied, 'That's why I came today,' creating a heart-fluttering moment.

At the end of the date, Ji Sang-ryeol boldly asked Shin Bo-ram to meet him again by coming to a specific spot. To his delight, Shin Bo-ram appeared, confirming their next meeting. Eun Ji-won enthusiastically cheered for Ji Sang-ryeol's potential marriage.

Shin Bo-ram praised Ji Sang-ryeol's politeness, kindness towards her dog 'Moka,' and overall considerate nature, expressing anticipation for their next relaxed encounter. Ji Sang-ryeol vowed to be her 'day manager,' further fueling anticipation for their developing relationship.

The broadcast concluded by highlighting Park Seo-jin's growth through his fashion week challenge and Ji Sang-ryeol and Shin Bo-ram's genuine date, leaving viewers curious about their future romance. 'Salimnam' will continue to air every Saturday at 10:45 PM for the next three weeks.
