Kim Jung-min Faces Cleaning Crisis in 'Each House Couple,' Song Il-gook to the Rescue!

A savior is stepping in for Kim Jung-min, the official 'cleaning dummy' in tvN STORY's 'Each House Couple,' as he faces a domestic emergency. The hero is none other than 'Song-gyver' Song Il-gook, who has mastered essential household tips.

The previous episode of 'Each House Couple' featured the delightful bickering chemistry between actress Moon So-ri and her mother Lee Hyang-ran, bringing laughter akin to real sisters. The day-in-the-life of the 'Ae-soon-ee' type mother who devoted her life to her family and her nagging daughter offered both heartwarming moments and amusement. Later, Kim Jung-min, fully immersed in his role during 'Mamma Mia' musical rehearsals, revealed a contrasting 'herbivore' side, showing tension before his strict directors, a stark difference from his charismatic stage presence. This was a moment that even his wife Rumiko had never witnessed before, offering a glimpse into another facet of her husband.

Today's (18th) broadcast will showcase the couples from 'Each House Couple' reuniting after a long time. However, Kim Jung-min, who has been missing his wife Rumiko and family dearly for 24 hours, finds himself in a critical situation. While enjoying his usual sweet coffee, his wife Rumiko makes a surprise visit. A sudden inspection of the house's cleanliness leaves her in shock.

Following his 'next-level kimchi cleaning method' that cemented his title as the 'cleaning dummy' in the previous episode, Kim Jung-min is now in critical condition due to Rumiko's surprise inspection. In the preview, Rumiko is seen discovering kimchi left out at room temperature for three months, having turned from aged kimchi into 'rotten kimchi,' plunging her into shock.

As Kim Jung-min enters a state of emergency due to his wife's unexpected cleaning raid, savior Song Il-gook makes his grand entrance. Song Il-gook, who is also appearing in 'Mamma Mia' with Kim Jung-min, has built a rapport with him as they have been living separately for two years. However, unlike Kim Jung-min, Song Il-gook is a master of both parenting and household chores. Armed with a toolbox that rivals a professional's, he will leverage his essential know-how accumulated from his two years of living separately to scrub away stubborn grime and repair damages, truly embodying 'Song-gyver.' The broadcast leaves viewers wondering what Kim Jung-min's home will look like after his transformation under Song Il-gook's hands.

Meanwhile, Moon So-ri and Jang Joon-hwan's couple will be spending some quality time together abroad after a long hiatus. Both were invited to the 'Danang Asian Film Festival' in Vietnam. Jang Joon-hwan's sweet husband mode, gazing only at his wife on the red carpet, continues to bring warm smiles. However, an unexpected debate erupts at the film festival as they bring up their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, sparking intrigue. This is expected to deliver unique fun once again, showcasing both their professional skills and their genuine couple chemistry.

The fourth episode of 'Each House Couple,' a reality observational show about the new normal of married life where being apart makes them more affectionate, will air today (18th) at 8 PM on tvN STORY.

Kim Jung-min is a South Korean actor and singer, known for his versatility in various fields. He has gained popularity for his honest and humorous personality on variety shows. His wife, Rumiko, is Japanese, and the couple frequently travels between South Korea and Japan.
