Shim Hyun-seop's attempt to meet his girlfriend's parents was thwarted as his girlfriend declined the meeting.

On the TV Chosun show 'Joseon's Love Conqueror' aired on the 19th, Shim Hyun-seop was seen making efforts to meet his girlfriend Young-rim's parents.

Shim Hyun-seop took an early morning high-speed train to Ulsan, accompanied by Lee Chun-soo, the 'Marriage Promotion Committee' chairman and former Ulsan Hyundai football team player. Although Shim's proposal was successful, he still needed his girlfriend's parents' approval for the marriage. Lee Chun-soo remarked, "It's a big goal. There's a reason we left at 5 AM," with a determined expression.

In Ulsan, the 'Joseon's Love Conqueror' production team, Lee Chun-soo, and Shim Hyun-seop's agency representatives gathered to strategize. Lee Chun-soo suggested a 'balcony greeting' if a direct meeting wasn't possible.

Shim Hyun-seop bought a fruit set at a department store and asked his girlfriend, "Since your mother likes fruit, I want to greet her briefly and give her this." However, it was already past 10 PM. His girlfriend responded, "It's a good idea, but it's too late," and declined. Shim insisted, "I just want to greet her from the balcony," but his girlfriend reiterated, "It's too late to meet an elder for the first time. I'm saying this to help you." Shim, feeling disappointed, said, "I'll take the last bus back."

Lee Chun-soo joined in to persuade her. Shim, who had a festival event the next day, said, "I want to show my true self by making people laugh. It would be nice if your parents could see me, even from afar." His girlfriend agreed to try but noted that her mother had already booked tickets for Kim Da-hyun's concert.

Lee Chun-soo argued that there would be time for both Shim's performance and the concert. His girlfriend emphasized, "My parents value punctuality." When Shim asked, "What about our promise?" she replied, "You didn't make a promise with my parents." Shim lamented, "I rarely get to perform like this," to which she retorted, "You always want things your way."

Shim tried to persuade her by offering to arrange a photo opportunity with Kim Da-hyun. His girlfriend, feeling awkward, said, "They prefer to watch from a distance."

Frustrated, Shim left the café. He expressed his disappointment, saying, "If everything is a no..." His girlfriend explained, "My mom is introverted, and that should be respected. If you were forced to accept something you didn't like, would you be happy?" Shim replied, "I just want to be liked by your mom." She reassured him, "I'll accept your feelings warmly."
