Seo Eun-hye and Jo Young-nam are opening a cafe.

On Tuesday, the 31st, at 10:40 PM, SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereafter 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2') will air the first reveal of Seo Eun-hye and Jo Young-nam's journey to independence through their cafe opening.

During a recent studio recording of 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', the cafe of Seo Eun-hye, an artist with Down syndrome, and Jo Young-nam was unveiled, drawing attention. The cafe, adorned with Seo Eun-hye's artwork and merchandise, resembled an exhibition hall. Seo Eun-hye's parents revealed, "The interior alone cost 80 million won. We spent our entire fortune," shocking everyone.

Amidst this, Chef Lee Dong-jun, known as 'French Papa' from 'Black and White Chef', who touched viewers with his story of raising a son with developmental disabilities, made an appearance at the cafe, catching eyes. He has been a strong supporter of the couple's independence, sharing his special recipes, and stepped in as a savior on the cafe's opening day.

However, during the final check before opening, he made a shocking statement, "I recommend closing the shop even now," leaving everyone in shock. The reason behind Chef Lee Dong-jun's candid advice to Seo Eun-hye and Jo Young-nam raises curiosity.

Following this, the first day of business for cafe owners Seo Eun-hye and Jo Young-nam began in earnest. The couple, aiming for independence, operated the cafe without their parents' help, unable to hide their nervousness. Additionally, they faced the mission of selling over 180 cups a day to recover their initial investment, showing a different side that surprised everyone. However, an unprecedented crisis struck as soon as they started, leaving everyone worried, saying, "This is a big problem," and "I can't watch."

Meanwhile, in the studio, Hong Yoon-hwa, who was watching the couple's opening story, shared about her recently opened fish cake bar. Having turned it into a 'must-visit spot' within eight months, she confessed, "I recovered the initial investment in just eight months," causing a stir in the studio and drawing attention to her business success story.

The episode will air on Tuesday, the 31st, at 10:40 PM on SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'.
