Kim Gura's Parenting Skills Shake Up 'Childcare Interns' with Unexpected Twists

TV personality Kim Gura, who recently remarried a woman 12 years his junior, is set to video call his 6-year-old daughter on 'Childcare Interns'.

In the tvN STORY show 'Childcare Interns', Kim Gura and Kim Nam-il are urgently brought in to assist the zero-experience grandfathers-to-be, Lee Kyung-kyu and Ahn Jung-hwan. However, instead of being the reliable support they were expected to be, their arrival shakes up the interns' mental state, promising unpredictable twists and turns.

The second episode of 'Childcare Interns', airing on the 16th, will feature the tearful struggles of Lee Kyung-kyu and Ahn Jung-hwan as they face real-life childcare challenges. To aid them in their childcare woes, Kim Gura and Kim Nam-il step in.

First, soccer junior Kim Nam-il joins Ahn Jung-hwan's team as a childcare supporter. Ahn, who struggled with a child's strong sense of self and independence in the previous episode, finds the atmosphere shifting as Kim Nam-il showcases his national team defender skills. However, the results take an unexpected turn. Kim Nam-il quickly wins over the child's heart with his energetic 'tiger rides' and 'airplane games'.

The child, who previously rejected Ahn with constant "No!", suddenly becomes a 'good child', eating meals happily and even brushing teeth, which they previously avoided, under Kim Nam-il's care. Ahn is left in shock, and his adorable jealousy is captured, bringing laughter. Curiosity grows about Kim Nam-il's childcare skills that turned field hero Ahn Jung-hwan into a jealous figure.

Meanwhile, entertainment veteran Lee Kyung-kyu receives help from Kim Gura, a father to a young daughter. However, Kim Gura critiques Lee's clumsy parenting with pinpoint accuracy, repeatedly pointing out, "This brother doesn't know anything," and constantly calling out, "Brother!" To bridge the gap with the child, Kim Gura attempts a video call with his own daughter, who is a year older than the child. Through this call, he tries to naturally ease the atmosphere, subtly showcasing his parenting experience as an active dad, while Lee Kyung-kyu's reactions add to the smiles.

Exhausted, Lee Kyung-kyu eventually explodes at Kim Gura, who even dictates the speed of feeding the baby. Lee finally bursts out, "Why am I doing what you say? You're supposed to be helping," unleashing his pent-up frustration and staging a rebellion. The crumbling friendship of these two entertainment giants in the face of childcare and their chaotic chemistry heightens viewers' anticipation.

The second episode of 'Childcare Interns' airs at 8 PM.
