In the released photos, Kian84 is seen visiting Kangnam's house after meeting Junji Ito. Kangnam, noticing Kian84's all-day tension, invites him over. As they enter the house, a fireworks display lights up the sky, marking the end of a dreamlike day.

Kangnam showcases his cooking skills by preparing a heartfelt dinner for Kian84. Once the meal is ready, the two sit down, loosen their ties, and begin to eat, finally relaxing.

A Relaxed Dinner: Heartfelt Confessions

During dinner, Kian84 candidly shares his feelings after meeting Junji Ito. He expresses gratitude to Kangnam for understanding him and keeping their promise, saying, "I feel indebted to you."

Kangnam surprises Kian84 by revealing a behind-the-scenes story about Junji Ito that Kian84 was unaware of, saying, "He had respect for you."

Meanwhile, last week's episode faced criticism from some viewers for featuring a poster of 'Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea,' a film not released in Korea due to its controversial use of the Rising Sun Flag. The controversy arose after it was revealed that Shogakukan allowed a child sex offender to resume publishing under a pseudonym, leading to public outcry in Japan.

In response, 'I Live Alone' has not issued a statement but has removed the publisher's introduction from the replay.

Catch the full episode on MBC's 'I Live Alone' airing at 11:10 PM on the 20th.
