On the TV Chosun variety show 'Joseon's Love Collector,' Han Yoon-seo, known as the 'Xth Collector,' visited her family home with her 'real-life fiancé' and received an unprecedented welcome.
In the episode aired on the 6th, the '41-year-old single woman from Cheongdo,' comedian Han Yoon-seo, headed to her hometown of Cheongdo with her fiancé Moon Jun-woong, as well as her 'close friends,' comedians Kim Tae-won and Yoon Hyo-dong. A video expressing the hope of Han Yoon-seo's mother, who has waited 41 years for her daughter to marry and dreams of becoming a mother-in-law, resonated with 'daughter's mom' Kang Soo-ji, who said, "I also want to become a mother-in-law."
After a four-hour journey to Cheongdo, a banner reading 'Cheongdo's Daughter Han Yoon-seo is Getting Married' greeted Han Yoon-seo and her party. Upon arriving at her family home, where all her relatives were gathered, Yoon Hyo-dong exclaimed, "The house is really big. You're really rich!" in awe of the spacious home. Han Yoon-seo's fiancé was the first to bow deeply to his future in-laws. Her father humorously expressed his mixed feelings of trust towards the 'future son-in-law,' saying, "I don't know if I should believe it or not, but I'll try to trust him." Han Yoon-seo's mother was moved to tears by the fiancé's praises of her daughter's virtues, expressing satisfaction with deep sighs of admiration.
Han Yoon-seo's fiancé showed meticulousness by preparing a 'wedding preparation plan' for their wedding scheduled in October. He told his future in-laws, "I plan to do my best to have a child from the start of our marriage." He also shared his housing plan, stating, "Assuming we have one child, I believe we can live comfortably in a 25-pyeong apartment until the child starts elementary school." When asked by the future mother-in-law whether it would be a rental or owned property, the fiancé replied, "In a situation where I've stretched my finances to the limit, I'll still aim to find the optimal residence, a 25-pyeong apartment, as an owned property."
The 'Love Collector' MCs were impressed by the detailed plan, which included a plan to purchase a 25-pyeong apartment and even a note on his 'vigorous sperm count.' Watching the VCR, Hwang Bo-ra laughed, comparing the lively sperm image to Van Gogh's 'Starry Night.' Additionally, Han Yoon-seo's mother prepared a feast with dozens of main dishes, akin to a village festival, to welcome the son-in-law. She even prepared a 'golden spoon' and a 'giant croaker' as big as a shark for him. Kim Gook-jin commented, "The son-in-law feels like a king," admiring the deep love and care felt through the screen. Hwang Bo-ra added, "My mom has been preparing dinners like that for four years. That's why my husband says he can't leave me, because of my mother-in-law," deeply resonating with the 'mother-in-law's culinary prowess.'
Finally, Yoon Hyo-dong added warmth by revealing, "Han Yoon-seo's fiancé wanted to become part of the family after being moved by the harmony of Han Yoon-seo's family shown in the video." Han Yoon-seo's fiancé also read a heartfelt letter he wrote, bringing both emotion and laughter as he choked up.
