Yoon Ki-won, dating at age 53, “I have a reason to live”

‘Single Single’ Yoon Ki-won, who recently revealed that he is in a relationship, said, “I now have a reason to live for a long time.”

In the 7th episode of ENA's entertainment program 'Hyoja Village', which aired on the 15th, the '2nd Hyoja Recreation Center' was held and Yoon Ki-won, Jang Woo-hyuk, Yoo Jae-hwan, and Shin Seong were seen spending meaningful time with their parents.

On this day, MC Defconn asked Yang Chi-seung and Ahn Young-mi at the opening, “Do you have an acquaintance you would like to bring to Hyoja Village?” In response, Yang Chi-seung said, “I would like to invite the blunt tsundere Seong-hoon to Hyoja Village.” Ahn Young-mi said, “This is actor Son Seok-gu. “I want to honor my mom!” she exclaimed.

Jang Woo-hyuk, who went to bed alone the night before in the aftermath of his last place finish in 'Honest Son Golden Bell', woke up and returned home to take care of his mother's meal. Jang Woo-hyuk, who prepared galbitang for his mother in the morning, showed good sense by preparing drip coffee and nuts for dessert. On the other hand, Yoo Jae-hwan's mother was forced to wake up because of her son's 'thunderous snoring' and started cooking herself. After eating the food his mother made, Yoo Jae-hwan lay down and said, “Thank you, mom. “It’s so comfortable,” he said happily. MC Defcon admired, saying, “It seems like a new era of filial piety is being written.”

As promised to Yang Jun-hyuk the day before, Yoon Ki-won went to take care of Yang Jun-hyuk's father, who was left alone. However, Yang Jun-hyuk's father vehemently declined and sat alone at the empty table to eat breakfast. MC Ahn Young-mi, who saw this, cried and said, “It’s so sad.” Finally, after breaking a plate while washing dishes alone, Yang Jun-hyuk's father confessed his true feelings, saying, “(Without Jun-hyuk), I feel empty, as if I have no wings.”

Yoon Ki-won's mother said, "I've been married for 10 years, and I've been alone for 5 years. I can't believe how frustrating, lonely, and lonesome you must have been. You say you're okay, but you're not okay. That's my wish. I hope that I can meet a good person as soon as possible. “I hoped.

Yoon Ki-won said, "Actually, not long ago, there was no reason to live that long. Instead, I had the thought that I should live longer than my mother. It would be very unfilial for a child to pass away before his mother. That's true, but I also thought that there would be one last romance left. “I’m paying attention. Let’s reduce two bottles to one. Try to survive,” he said.

In response, Defconn congratulated him, saying, "There was an article not long ago. It is said that he has a girlfriend. He has been lonely for five years, so I hope he continues as his mother wishes."

Afterwards, the Hyoja Village family gathered together and entered the ‘Hyoja Recreation Center.’ First, the 'Speed Game' was played, and the rules were changed so that all questions were answered by Yang Jun-hyuk's father. At this time, Yoo Jae-hwan's mother, while explaining the word 'monkey,' gave the correct answer, "In English, it's monkey~ monkey!" and made everyone burst into laughter. Shin Seong-sung's father suddenly jumped in and added to his son's explanation of the 'cultivator'. Shinsung stopped him, saying, “Father, I have to explain.”

Next, in the game of 'Having filial piety', Shin Seong showed off his strong mouth and came in first place, and an unexpected situation occurred where Jang Woo-hyuk's mother picked up a post-it note with her eyes, and Jang Woo-hyuk's family came in last place. With Jang Woo-hyuk and Yoo Jae-hwan appearing in the 'last place match', they were given the mission to 'move beans with chopsticks'. Among them, Jang Woo-hyuk's hands were shaking and he was so absorbed that he won by only one point and escaped from last place. Jang Woo-hyuk, who hugged his mother, said, “Oh my God! “Let’s take the beans and have a meal!” he said with great joy.

While only Yoo Jae-hwan's family, who came in last place, was not given the 'filial outing ticket', Yoo Jae-hwan said to his mother, "Let's get some rest~", foreshadowing a daily life without any twists and turns. In fact, Yoo Jae-hwan quickly fell into a 'deep sleep' after arriving home. The mother, who was worse, said, “Get up a little bit. “Let’s go for a walk,” he said, waking his son up. However, Yoo Jae-hwan could not get up, and in the end, he ate a small meal alone with his mother, putting rice in water. MC Ahn Young-mi, who watched this, said, “Yoo Jae-hwan cannot shield. “I’ll just call him Yoo Jae-hwan,” he lamented.

‘Hyojachon’ airs every Sunday at 7:40 PM.

Meanwhile, Yoon Ki-won married actress Hwang Eun-jung, whom he met through the drama 'Buddy Buddy' in 2012, but divorced five years later.
