In ‘Joseon‘s Lover’, Shim Hyun-seop draws attention by asking his girlfriend’s parents for permission to marry.

In the ‘Joseon‘s Lover’ to be broadcast on the 20th, Shim Hyun-seop, who has successfully reunited, steps forward to receive permission to marry his girlfriend Jeong Yeong-rim. Shim Hyun-seop finally meets his girlfriend’s parents, but silence flows between the four of them. Shim Hyun-seop started by saying, “I told my friends and acquaintances that I‘m going to see my girlfriend’s parents today”. He tried to lighten the mood by coquettishly saying, “My friends had a really hard time”.



However, the mood only became more awkward, as Shim Hyun-seop‘s struggles seemed meaningless. Embarrassed Shim Hyun-seop just kept slurping his food without saying anything, and Jeong Yeong-rim, who was watching her boyfriend, helped him up with a smile, saying, “Let’s talk.” Shim Hyun-seop, who gained strength from his girlfriend’s support, courageously expressed his sincerity, saying, “The reason I wanted to meet you two today is… I would appreciate it if you would approve of my marriage.” However, despite Shim Hyun-seop’s straightforward confession, his girlfriend’s father expressed his discomfort, saying, “What? A wedding? You’ve been together for over a year? It’s not going to work out.” Watching this, Kim Ji-min from “Love Hunters” screamed, “No!” and Choi Sung-guk expressed his regret, saying, “Shouldn’t you get married?”

At their first meeting with his girlfriend’s parents last year, Shim Hyun-seop also said, “What’s so urgent? I heard the story of “Let’s meet again”, so I wonder if I will be able to get the approval for the marriage this time. The uncomfortable(?) face-to-face meeting between Shim Hyun-seop♥Jung Young-rim and Jung Young-rim‘s parents can be seen on the ultra-realistic documentary entertainment show TV CHOSUN ‘Joseon’s Lover’, which will air on Monday the 20th at 10 p.m.
