Korean Singer Hwanhee Opens Up About Emotional Struggles with His Mother on 'Mr. House Husband Season 2'

Korean singer Hwanhee, 44, breaks down over financial issues with his 74-year-old mother on the latest episode of KBS2's 'Mr. House Husband Season 2.'

The episode aired on the 4th, showcasing Hwanhee's heartfelt attempt to reconnect with his mother through a 'filial piety project,' which unexpectedly led to tension and emotional conflict.

Previously, Hwanhee had garnered attention by sharing his family story for the first time in 28 years.

In an effort to live with his mother, Hwanhee took on the task of fixing a broken toilet, declaring, “I’ll fix everything,” and used this opportunity to take his mother on a traditional market outing.

Despite his efforts to appear as a caring son, his mother felt uncomfortable, hesitating over choosing items, and candidly expressed, “I felt a bit uneasy.”

After the market visit, Hwanhee's mother handed him an envelope, saying, “I prepared cash for what you spent today at the market.” She added, “You already give me a lot for living expenses, and I feel so sorry and pitiful.”

Hwanhee, unable to hide his disappointment, raised his voice, questioning, “Why should there be any debt between a parent and child? Why do you always feel sorry?”

His mother tried to console him, saying, “You give a lot for living expenses, so why get upset? Just let it be.” However, Hwanhee was visibly shaken, expressing, “Returning it like this… do we have to calculate things like strangers? It was upsetting.”
