Yongsik Lee opens his heart to Wonhyuk

TV CHOSUN In the 100% pure and real documentary entertainment show 'Joseon's Lover', an awkward face-to-face meeting between 'Longam Neeson' Lee Yong-sik and 'future son-in-law' Won Hyuk took place. On this day, 'Joseon's Lover' maintained a viewership rating of 5% (Nielsen Korea, hereinafter referred to nationwide), and the highest viewer rating per minute was 6.6%, showing another increase compared to last week. The audience rating for the 2549 target was 0.6% (based on the metropolitan area).

In 'Joseon's Lover' (hereinafter referred to as 'Lover'), which aired on the 6th, Lee Yong-sik and his future son-in-law Won Hyuk finally met for the first time. A heavy silence continued during the awkward meeting, with both parties unable to take off their coats due to tension. Even the 'Lovers' MCs who were watching the meal scene seemed to be embarrassed, but the conversation broke out thanks to the efforts of Lee Yong-sik's wife, Kim Oe-seon. While the conversation was going on cautiously, Lee Soo-min eventually burst into laughter at the sight of Lee Yong-sik and Won-hyuk looking at each other while glancing at each other. And Lee Yong-sik said, “Su-min, don’t you think I look very awkward? “I am absolutely calm,” he said, before pulling away. In a joking atmosphere, Lee Yong-sik and Won-hyuk gradually started talking, and Won-hyuk received praise from Lovers for successfully implementing the ‘know-how when meeting a prospective craftsman’ that he had learned from YouTube.

Amid the exchange of compliments and pleasantries, Lee Yong-sik expressed his bluntness, saying, “If you know too much at once, you will get hurt.” Wonhyuk responded by saying, “I will approach you slowly,” and Yongsik Lee added, hiding his embarrassment, “Please contact me and come.” In response to Lee Soo-min's words, "Next time, the four of us will eat together," Yong-sik Lee left a meaningful comment, "Today is the last day," but they parted ways while maintaining a friendly atmosphere.

Later, Lee Yong-sik told the production team, “I didn’t want to meet him. I hated that those two fit together so well. You lost Sumin. Actually, that's not it... “He expressed his complicated feelings. But in the end, he said, “I’m so glad we met today. “I feel relieved after meeting him,” he said, expressing his honest feelings upon meeting Won-hyuk. And Lee Yong-sik also gave a positive answer, saying, “Even if Sumin has to shed tears 10 times, I don’t think she will shed a single tear when she’s with Hyuk.”
