Park Seo-jin & Hyo-jeong's Dance Sport Challenge & Lee Min-woo's Fatherly Growth Warm Hearts on 'Mr. House Husband'

‘Mr. House Husband’ delivered laughter and heartwarming moments to viewers with the touching chemistry of siblings Park Seo-jin and Hyo-jeong, and the profound fatherly love of Lee Min-woo as he embraced his role as the head of the household.

Last Saturday, the KBS 2TV entertainment program ‘Mr. House Husband’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Mr. House Husband’) featured the dance sport challenge of siblings Park Seo-jin and Hyo-jeong. Additionally, the daily life of ‘real dad’ Lee Min-woo, busy preparing his six-year-old daughter for kindergarten, added a touching layer. The broadcast recorded a viewership rating of 3.5% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea, with the scene where the Park siblings watched a professional dance sport demonstration hitting a peak of 5.3%, sparking discussion.

Special guests TVXQ's Yunho, known as the 'King of Passion,' and (G)I-DLE's Miyeon brought vibrant energy to the show. Yunho, who returned with his first full album since his solo debut, captivated viewers with a performance of his new song ‘Stretch.’ He also created a warm atmosphere by complimenting MC Lee Yo-won, calling her a 'fairy.' To this, Eun Ji-won playfully remarked, 'From Queen Seondeok to Queen of Fertility now,' catching Lee Yo-won off guard and eliciting laughter.

To help her brother Park Seo-jin overcome his melancholy during autumn, his sister Hyo-jeong devised a special solution: enrolling them in a dance sport academy together. Initially shy, Park Seo-jin soon declared himself a 'dancing machine' and showcased his explosive dance moves. Hyo-jeong, not to be outdone, responded with groovy dance, highlighting the siblings' hidden talents. Dressed in dance sport attire, the siblings engaged in lively banter, teasing each other and adding to the humor with their unfamiliar experience in sheer outfits. Park Seo-jin commented, 'The top is connected to my underwear,' expressing his awkwardness. After a spectacular demonstration by professional athletes, the siblings learned dance sport with their partners, resulting in hilarious physical comedy. Park Seo-jin accidentally ended up 'flinging' Hyo-jeong after a spin, leaving the studio in stitches. After the lesson, Park Seo-jin expressed his satisfaction with the dance sport challenge, stating, 'Doing something rather than feeling depressed was really good. I even forgot my sadness.' Hyo-jeong also shared her joy, saying, 'Seeing my brother have fun makes me happy too,' showcasing their affectionate sibling bond.

Meanwhile, Shinhwa's Lee Min-woo shared his daily life as a ‘real dad,’ busy preparing his six-year-old daughter for kindergarten. He empathized with his heavily pregnant wife's difficult condition and visited the obstetrics and gynecology clinic with her. Seeing their healthy baby on the ultrasound screen brought them sighs of relief. Although they were legally married, his wife’s status as an overseas resident meant she couldn't receive national health insurance benefits, increasing medical costs. However, Lee Min-woo reassured his wife and even created a personal allowance account for their daughter, demonstrating his transformation into a 'true father' and delivering an emotional moment. In an interview with the production team, he confessed, 'I am gradually changing from Shinhwa's Lee Min-woo to a father, husband, and head of the household. When our child Yangyang is born next month, I feel like I will be reborn too,' expressing his anticipation.

In this episode, ‘Mr. House Husband’ provided viewers with warm emotions and laughter through the positive energy and bickering chemistry of siblings Park Seo-jin and Hyo-jeong, and Lee Min-woo's growth into a true head of the household. ‘Mr. House Husband’ airs every Saturday at 10:35 PM.

Korean netizens reacted positively to the episode, with comments such as: 'Park Seo-jin and Hyo-jeong's chemistry is amazing! I burst out laughing watching them dance,' 'It's touching to see Lee Min-woo becoming a dad. Wishing their baby good health too!', and 'Watching Mr. House Husband is always healing. Looking forward to next week too!' Many expressed support for the cast members' growth and relatable situations.
