Comedian Kim Mi-hwa has entrusted her retired husband with the full responsibility of managing their household.
On the upcoming episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Perfect Life,' airing tonight at 8 PM, the 62-year-old comedian Kim Mi-hwa and her husband Yoon Seung-ho will share their laughter-filled daily life.
Kim Mi-hwa, known for her role as 'Soonakjil Yeo-sa' in the comedy duo 'Sseurirang Couple,' appears on 'Perfect Life' with her husband. Observing the confident Kim Mi-hwa and her seemingly subdued husband, fellow comedian Lee Seong-mi commented, "Just by looking at their posture, it seems like he lives a subdued life." In response, Kim Mi-hwa's husband revealed, "Since I retired and started spending more time at home, she gave me full control over household management." He added, "I handle everything from cooking to laundry and cleaning," unveiling the surprising truth about his new role. Kim Mi-hwa clarified, "People might misunderstand that I don't do any housework, but I actually do more. It's just that my husband insists he's better at cooking, so he takes over that task," bringing laughter to the set.
MC Oh Ji-ho inquired about how the couple first met. Kim Mi-hwa shared, "My husband has been friends with Hong Seo-beom since their days as college entrance exam retakers. They formed a band together in college, but while Hong Seo-beom thrived in music, my husband excelled in academics." She continued, "During my time with 'Sseurirang Couple,' I shared an office with Hong Seo-beom and his wife, and we became close friends, often drinking and performing together." The 'Sseurirang Couple' show, which aired from 1988 to 1990, was a hugely popular comedy program with a 70% viewership rating, propelling Kim Mi-hwa to the top tier of comedians alongside her comedy partner Kim Han-guk.
The couple also shares their current life in the countryside of Yongin, where they are known as the local 'Kim Ban-jang.' They visit the newly appointed village chief to congratulate him. Kim Mi-hwa asked the chief, "How long have you been in this village?" When he replied, "It's been nine years," Kim Mi-hwa humorously asserted, "We've been here for 20 years. We're the seniors," showcasing her playful pride. She added, "If there's anything needed in the village, call me. We need to make our village known as a fun and enjoyable place," expressing her affection for their community.
Catch the rural lifestyle of Kim Mi-hwa and her husband on TV CHOSUN's 'Perfect Life' tonight at 8 PM.
