When asked if he helps his wife with cooking, Lee Sung-min confidently replied, "I grill meat all day." On his favorite dish made by his wife, he humorously admitted, "I just like being left alone," but then praised, "My wife makes great kimbap."

Lee Sung-min turned the conversation to Kim Sung-kyun, asking if he ever criticized his wife's cooking. Kim Sung-kyun responded, "We give each other honest feedback. If the food isn't good, we say so. It's fair." He emphasized, "I cook when I can," to which Kim Jong-soo agreed, "With three kids, you can't not help."

When asked about his monthly grocery expenses, Kim Sung-kyun admitted, "I'm not sure of the exact amount, but it's quite a lot. We go through a carton of eggs in a week." When Lee Sung-min expressed concern over beef prices, Kim Sung-kyun humorously added, "We don't eat beef at restaurants. Our kids don't like eating out."

Lee Sung-min suggested calling Kim Sung-kyun's eldest son, Do-kyung, who expressed his preference for his father's steak over expensive Gangnam steak and his dad's pollack soup over pizza, showcasing his filial piety.

In a heartwarming moment, Kim Sung-kyun shared with his daughter, Do-ah, "I read the letter you wrote to me with Uncle Lee Sung-min," to which she humorously protested, "Why did you read that together!" causing laughter.
