On this day, Hyun Jin-young's wife Oh Seo-woon, who found her dog eating snacks that had fallen in his room, said, "The room looks like this, so there are a lot of negative comments." In fact, after seeing comments such as "My wife is an angel" and "Hyun Jin-young needs character education urgently," Hyun Jin-young started to reform his image with an event to prepare a birthday table for Oh Seo-woon.
Hyun Jin-young visited comedian Lim Mi-sook, whom he trusted and followed like an adoptive mother. Hyun Jin-young completed the surprise birthday table with the help of Lim Mi-sook, including aged fried chicken stew, abalone seaweed soup, and beef pancake. Hyun Jin-young expressed his gratitude, saying, "It was my first time preparing a birthday table for my wife, and I was able to do it because I had an older sister." Lim Mi-sook also expressed special affection, saying, "They are both like my own son and daughter-in-law." In particular, the anecdote about Lim Mi-sook secretly taking care of living expenses during Hyun Jin-young's difficult times touched viewers' hearts. Oh Seo-woon, who was touched by Hyun Jin-young's awkward sincerity, said, "The birthday table was perfect. I don't think there will be a happier birthday than this."
Next, Jeong Tae-woo's mother Oh Hye-kyung's life in the Neverending kitchen was also revealed. Mrs. Oh proposed a weekend meal to celebrate the family's birthdays. After feeling excited for a while, Jeong Tae-woo's three siblings visited Mrs. Oh's house at different times due to each of their busy schedules. Among them, Mrs. Oh attracted attention by preparing four meals with the three siblings' favorite foods. Jeong Tae-woo, who visited for the last time, comforted Mrs. Oh, saying, "Mom, you must have had a hard time today. Your face looks a little thin." Mrs. Oh expressed her heart-warming maternal love, saying, "It takes a lot of effort to prepare food, but when people say it's delicious, I feel proud and live like that. I think that's how mothers do it."
Lastly, Kim Soo-chan personally invited Trot senior Jinseong and went on a tour of Hongdae, the mecca of MZs. After changing into modern-style school uniforms at a school uniform rental store, the two made fun memories by taking hot poses and dancing in a popular photo booth. Jin-seong said, “It’s amazing that your first broadcast achieved the highest viewership rating of 7%,” and Kim Soo-chan said, “I will ride on my teacher’s back and achieve the highest viewership rating again.”
While walking on the streets of Hongdae, Jinseong's popularity, regardless of generation, attracted attention. The two had a warm time actively taking pictures with citizens, and Kim Soo-chan made people laugh by claiming to be Jinseong's human autograph stand. They also joined the festival streets of Hongdae, full of youthful energy, and performed a surprise busking performance.
As the last part of their schedule, the two had a deep conversation while enjoying Jeongwa Makgeolli at Gongdeok Market. Jinseong was curious about Kim Soo-chan's love story, and Kim Soo-chan replied, "I've just been discharged from the military and I'm busy, so I'm not very interested in dating." Kim Soo-chan, who showed Jinseong and a friendship that transcends generations, promised another MZ tour, taking full advantage of his golden connections.
