On the 18th episode of MBN's 'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night,' airing on the 28th at 9:40 PM, Jang Young-nam shares her early days as a theater actress when her deep voice led to audience feedback like, "That actress's voice is uncomfortable to listen to." This revelation surprises many. When Jang Young-nam mentions her 'deep voice' complex, Kim Joo-ha, who also faced challenges with her low-toned voice during her announcer days, empathizes by holding Jang's hand and saying, "Me too."

In a discussion about relationships with children, Kim Joo-ha and Jang Hyun-sung show differing perspectives. Jang shares that he drinks with his two adult sons, describing them as "the closest friends living in the same house," portraying himself as a 'friend-like dad.' In contrast, Kim Joo-ha humorously expresses her discomfort, saying, "My son and daughter treat me too much like a friend. I don't like it," sparking laughter. The contrasting parenting styles of the two draw curiosity.

Jang Hyun-sung and Jang Young-nam also share their 'love stories' with their spouses. Jang Hyun-sung makes a surprising statement, saying, "My wife, who was a junior at school, was initially unappealing to me." He recounts how he began to see her differently when male juniors kept asking him to pass notes to her during their carpool rides, realizing "there was something I didn't know." The turning point in his feelings towards his wife draws interest.

Jang Young-nam heats up the atmosphere by revealing her dramatic romance with her husband, who is seven years younger and a handsome man. She shares a romantic confession from her husband, who was a fellow theater actor, during the wrap party of their play, where he gave her a letter saying, "I'm sorry for liking you," sparking excitement. The reason behind Jang Young-nam's decision to marry him after this unexpected confession raises curiosity.

Having played the role of a mother to about 30 actors, Jang Young-nam fondly remembers actors Park Bo-gum and Park Bo-young, praising them as "so beautiful," which resonates with many. She also shares a humorous anecdote about being called "mother" by Hwang Jung-min, who is older and more experienced, throughout filming.

Lastly, Jang Hyun-sung reveals that his father, who firmly opposed his acting career by saying, "If you're going to act, remove yourself from the family register," was actually a former theater actor. He also shares that his second son is currently active in a 'theater club,' testifying to their inherent 'acting DNA.'
