In the episode aired on the 8th, Kim Byung-man's Jeju Island love house was revealed. The space, filled with toys and books for his two children, showed Kim Byung-man as a warm-hearted 'dad' playing with his kids.
Kim Byung-man left home to attend a ceremony where he was appointed as a marine police ambassador and water rescue team member. He mentioned plans to meet his close junior colleagues, twin comedians Lee Sang-ho and Lee Sang-min. Meanwhile, his wife prepared a traditional dish, bossam, for the guests. When asked by the production team if managing the household and childcare alone was challenging, Kim's wife revealed that she had suggested keeping their child's existence a secret during her pregnancy and had attended prenatal visits and childbirth alone.
She expressed her deep affection for her husband, saying, "I relied a lot on Jjang-i (their eldest daughter). She's a precious child we waited for," and added, "To me, Kim Byung-man is precious and respectable. I want to be the one to stand by him until the end."
The show also shared Kim Byung-man's wedding plans. Initially planning a wedding in Jeju Island, he changed the location to an outdoor wedding by the Han River, considering the inconvenience for guests. Kim Ji-min jokingly asked if he would make an entrance by climbing a tree.
Yoon Jung-soo, who announced his upcoming November wedding to his beautiful fiancée, 12 years his junior, appeared as a new love master. Yoon expressed embarrassment, saying, "Why am I so embarrassed? I was never embarrassed with Kim Sook," as he shyly revealed his 'true love.' He praised his fiancée's beauty and thriftiness, saying, "When someone who will become family does that, it seems to change things."
Yoon's '20-year best friends' singer Bae Ki-sung and actor Lim Hyung-joon were invited to meet his fiancée for the first time. Bae Ki-sung expressed excitement, saying, "Yoon has never shown us a girlfriend before. This is the first official introduction." However, due to his fiancée's schedule, Yoon appeared alone. Lim Hyung-joon jokingly asked if Yoon's fiancée was still undecided about the marriage.
Amidst the teasing from his friends, Yoon received a call from his former virtual wife, Kim Sook, who expressed her disappointment, asking why she wasn't invited and why his number had changed. When Bae Ki-sung joked about Yoon marrying an AI, Kim Sook agreed, saying, "He loved games so much... there's a lot to dig up." She continued to express her disappointment, saying, "I asked him to have a meal with his fiancée, and he just said 'sure, sure' and then changed his number."
After the call, it was revealed that Yoon's fiancée is former sports announcer Won Jin-seo (formerly known as Won Ji-hyun), famous as the 'Gwangzhou Goddess.' Yoon shared their love story, from meeting her as a radio guest to their current relationship. He rushed to a cafe where Won Jin-seo was waiting. Upon seeing her in the VCR, Choi Sung-kook exclaimed, "Yoon is marrying Won Ji-hyun... it feels like someone I know is marrying Wonder Woman."
Won Jin-seo, who retired from broadcasting, confessed that Yoon's radio show became a source of energy in her tiring daily life. She revealed that after unexpectedly reconnecting with Yoon after over a decade, they developed a romantic relationship last year. She expressed her affection for her fiancé, saying, "The more I meet him, the more he fits my ideal type. To me, he's sexy and intellectual. He perfectly matches my ideal type, almost excessively so." Watching this, Choi Sung-kook humorously wondered how Yoon managed to win her over.
TV CHOSUN's 'Joseon's Love Master' airs every Monday at 10 PM.
