'Single 2' members curious about Yoon Nam-ki and Lee Da-eun's plans for the second generation
On the YouTube channel ‘Namdari Mac’ of the couple Namki Yoon and Daeun Lee, ‘Namki Daeun’s newlywed home was recently revealed exclusively. A video titled ‘Housewarming filled with revelations from real friends’ was posted.
Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun invited MBN's 'Idol Singles 2' members Kim Gye-seong, Yoo So-min, and Kim Chae-yoon to the house they moved to. The members were impressed, saying, “The house is nice,” “It feels like a home,” and “It’s pretty.”
The three people looked at the dressing room first. The dressing room had clothes hanging on hangers along the edge. A chest of drawers and a hanger were placed in the center to increase space utilization. Lee Da-eun said, “Don’t you really have a lot of clothes?” Kim Chae-yoon laughed and said, “Oppa Namgi has so many clothes, so please explain why he always wears only gray Mickey sweatshirts.” In response, Yoon Nam-gi jokingly said, “I want to get sponsorship from Disney.”
Next, they looked at their daughter Lee Eun's room. The three people were constantly impressed by the cute and lovely atmosphere of the room. Nam-gi Yoon said, “I started sleeping alone these days,” and “but he wakes up in the middle of the night.” Lee Da-eun said, “We are still in the practice stage,” and revealed that she has begun sleep separation training. Kim Gye-seong laughed, saying, "I don't miss my younger brother. If Ri-eun comes, I won't have a younger brother. I'm at the age where I won't find my younger brother yet." Next, we looked at the room used by Nam-gi Yoon, Da-eun Lee, and their dog Max. Yoo So-min was amazed and said, “Wow, it’s a safe.”
There were alcohol and trophies on the living room dresser. Yoo So-min, who saw the trophy, said, "Don't brag about something like this. A wall suddenly appears." Kim Chae-yoon said, "Why didn't you post something like this? Congratulations," and Kim Gye-seong said, "He's a celebrity. I saw him today and he looked handsome. Take a picture with Nam Ki." “I have to take a picture and show it off to everyone at the company,” he said, putting Yoon Nam-ki and Lee Da-eun in a good mood. When Lee Da-eun asked, “Me?” Kim Gye-seong made Lee Da-eun laugh by saying, “Da-eun was originally a celebrity.”
A wedding photo of the couple and a glass dome were placed on the dresser in the living room. Kim Chae-yoon gave the glass dome containing dried bouquets and figurines of the bride and groom, which was used at the couple's wedding, as a gift. Yoon Nam-gi said, “Lee Eun caught (the figure fell)” and “I died.” Lee Da-eun added, “I think the doll was really cute.” Yoon Nam-ki, who saw that only the bride figure was standing properly inside the glass dome, said, "Honey, you only put up your own. They were all dead originally," and said, "I guess Lee Eun did it."
Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun unboxed the housewarming gifts the three of them had bought. Lee Da-eun said, “I should have told you in advance. I don’t need a gift today.” Yoo So-min made everyone laugh by saying, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Kim Gye-seong, who gave the massage gun, revealed the meaning of the gift, saying, “You two should have a happy time doing it,” and “Lee-eun, make one for your younger sister, too.” When Yoon Nam-gi asked, “What does the massage gun have to do with Ri-eun’s younger brother?” Kim Gye-seong said, “If you do this, (love will bloom).”
They ate and talked about real estate. Lee Da-eun said, “Everyone is smart. Why don’t I know anything about this?” In response, Yoon Nam-gi impressed everyone with a sweet comment, saying, "You don't have to know. Because I'm there." Kim Gye-seong said, “Nam-gi’s comment is still the same.” Lee Da-eun expressed her faith in Yoon Nam-ki, saying, "No matter what big things happen, there is definitely something I can rely on. There is something reassuring. There is something I can believe in and rely on for the rest of my life."
Lee Da-eun recalled going on a double date with Kim Gye-seong, Yoon Nam-ki and Yoo So-min while filming 'Idol Singles 2'. Lee Da-eun said, "You're watching 'Idol Singles 2' again with your brother, right? I don't think there will ever be a woman in the history of dating shows who says a man is a bore. That will continue to be the case in the future." Kim Gye-seong explained, "I don't even remember being told that I was a prick. I was just playing around and having fun." However, Yoo So-min, who was at the scene, said, "No. It wasn't a playful atmosphere. It was serious. I was driving and I kept hearing a noise behind me. I thought, 'I don't think this is right.'"
Lee Da-eun confessed her dream, saying, “I want to bring the person I want to marry and have fun together as a couple.” Kim Gye-seong said, "Wouldn't it be possible in a few years? Divorced people have their own feelings, but they also have to consider the children's feelings. There is also physical time."
Lee Da-eun said, “What I gained from ‘Idol Singles 2’ was that I gained friends who raise children together and friends who share the same common ground.” Yoo So-min added, “I sympathized with the same pain.” Lee Da-eun said, "That's a big deal," and added, "What I remember So-min saying is that she was a person who went through divorce, but that she thought it was difficult for people with children. (Yoon Nam-ki and I) are both people who thought that way. They appeared on 'Idol Singles'. “He said he had completely changed. I felt comforted by those words at the time,” he confessed. Kim Gye-seong agreed, saying, “My self-esteem actually went up a lot.” Yoo So-min said, "I think the emotions I experienced were more difficult because of the man. I just had to take care of myself, but my sisters and brothers had children, so I thought they must have been hurt more because they saw and felt and shared the difficult things from the side. ' “I hate people with kids,” and “I hate single people.” In some ways, it’s the same prejudice. I thought it was bad of me that I even had it,” he confessed.
The members of 'Idol Singles 2' said that their will to date was sparked when they saw the couple, Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun, who ended up getting married. Kim Gye-seong said, “Didn’t you say that when you get married, we’ll be your boyfriend and girlfriend and we’ll all meet together?” Lee Da-eun laughed, saying, “We each broke up and met again, but after going through something like this, we all lost our will.” When Yoo So-min said, “It will burn brightly again,” Lee Da-eun added, “If the cherry blossoms bloom and this happens (will rise).”
Kim Gye-seong revealed for the first time the reason why he appeared in 'Idol Singles 2'. Kim Gye-seong said, "When I was working and taking graduate school classes, an acquaintance from graduate school offered to set me up on a blind date. Even in graduate school, he knew about my situation (divorced and raising a child). It was a time when my self-esteem was low and miserable. It was also a time on broadcast. "I could see it. So I declined about twice and then said I would do it. The reason I said I would do it was that I was alone at home doing the dishes on a spring day during the day and the weather was so nice. I said I would go on a blind date and went out." He continued, "Even though my partner came out knowing about my situation, he said he couldn't meet me because I have a child. I heard that the 'Idol Singles 1' broadcast was fun while I was mentally exhausted. I sent an email early in the morning and got a call. That's how I got a call. “It went on air,” he said.
