Park Dae-hee, the owner of a highly sought-after naming studio with a year-long waiting list, will showcase her opulent four-story mansion, famously used as a filming location for the drama 'SKY Castle'. The European-style stone townhouse exudes an overwhelming atmosphere, fitting for a drama depicting the lives of the top 0.01%. Hosts Seo Jang-hoon and Jang Ye-won will embark on a treasure hunt among the art pieces displayed throughout Park's home, including a moon jar beloved by BTS's RM and works by renowned pop artist James Rizzi, offering a gallery-like experience.
The episode will also unveil the movie-like love story between Park Dae-hee and her husband, singer Lee Jang-woo. Their first encounter was at a concert of the then-popular band 015B, which Park attended at 18 with a friend. Park recalls being so mesmerized by Lee that she froze at the sight of him. Lee reflects on their unique bond, noting, "It's not common to become the husband of someone who was your fan in their teens." After years apart, they reunited and became a couple, with Park admitting she checked their compatibility before dating, surprising everyone with their 'compatibility first, romance later' story. The episode promises to reveal the extravagant gift Park gave Lee.
Park's tumultuous 20-year career in naming is filled with highs and lows. Her philosophy center, opened in her late 20s, became so popular that it drew complaints from neighbors due to the influx of clients. Park shares, "I was so busy that the bank had to come to collect my deposits," astonishing everyone. However, her success was not without heartache. Park tearfully recounts naming a sick child who passed away two days later.
