As Kim Jong-kook announced his marriage on the 18th, Solbi sensed a romantic vibe from the unmarried Yang Se-chan (38).
On the 28th episode of KBS2's variety show 'Problem Child in House Season 2' (hereafter 'Problem Child'), episode 281 featured Hwangbo and Solbi, who are active in the third season of the variety show 'Old Meeting Pursuit', joining Song Eun-i, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae in a dopamine-filled quiz battle.
Hwangbo and Solbi, known for their candid and humorous talk, brought laughter from the start. Solbi, who was known for her 'brainy girl' character alongside Hong Jin-kyung, expressed her respect for Hong, saying, "Jin-kyung is a wannabe. She succeeded in business and as a comedian," and added, "She got married, returned confidently to being single, and is impressively decisive," drawing laughter with her unfiltered admiration.
The 'Goddess of Intuition' Solbi boasted about her unique sense of romance, claiming, "I sensed the marriage news of Kim Jong-min and Eun Ji-won before it was announced." She observed the expressions of the rooftop family, noting, "There is a glow that only I can feel in people who are in a relationship or about to get married." As the recording took place before Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement, attention was on whether Solbi could sense his marriage. Solbi intriguingly remarked, "I want to read tarot for Jong-kook oppa. I have a slight feeling," surprising everyone. She also pointed out, "I am certain Yang Se-chan is in a relationship," raising curiosity about the truth.
Hwangbo and Solbi candidly shared behind-the-scenes stories from the 'Old Meeting Pursuit' filming. Hwangbo revealed, "Even though we knew each other in the entertainment industry, new charms appear when we talk." Solbi added, "I appeared on a show with Kyu-han oppa in the past, and I thought we were different and not close. But during the self-introduction this time, I felt sincerity." She confessed, "When Kyu-han oppa pulled my hand, I genuinely felt thrilled," leading to Hong Jin-kyung's over-immersion, and Song Eun-i, the creator of 'Old Meeting Pursuit', humorously recruiting her for the fourth season.
Kim Sook, a senior from the first season of 'Old Meeting Pursuit', also shared her experiences. Hong Jin-kyung teased, "Her lips keep curling up when she talks about Bonsung oppa," to which Song Eun-i added, "I think Bonsung has moved on, but Sook seems to still like him," adding to the laughter.
The rooftop family eagerly asked Hwangbo and Solbi about the possibility of a 'real couple', and when asked if they met outside of filming, Solbi hesitated with a shy smile, prompting Song Eun-i to urgently say, "Don't say it! Solbi, quiet!" drawing attention.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook showcased his qualities as a prepared groom. When Solbi mentioned freezing her eggs, Kim Jong-kook proudly shared, "I recently had a sperm test, and I have over 200 million," displaying his pride. He also humorously responded to Solbi's guess that he might be affectionate in relationships, saying, "I'm full of aegyo, just not outside," providing a lighthearted moment.
Hwangbo and Solbi also expressed newfound respect for Song Eun-i as a producer. Solbi remarked, "It was fascinating to see Song Eun-i's name as the representative on the 'Old Meeting Pursuit' contract," and Hwangbo added, "This is the most satisfying contract I've ever seen." Solbi, who is also a CEO of a one-person agency, noted, "The 'Old Meeting Pursuit' contract guarantees rest. Without Eun-i's dedication and diligence, production wouldn't be possible," expressing her admiration.
