‘Mr. House Husband’ caught everyone‘s attention by revealing the daily lives of Park Seo-jin and Lee Min-woo.

On the KBS 2TV show ‘Mr. House Husband Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Mr. House Husband’) that aired on the 18th, episodes of the daily lives of Park Seo-jin and Lee Min-woo were revealed. The viewership ratings recorded 6.2% according to Nielsen Korea nationwide, and the scene where Park Seo-jin’s family looked for cigarettes and lighters hidden by his father all over the house recorded the highest viewership rating of 7.6%.

While Park Seo-jin‘s family was all gathered together talking that day, Park Seo-jin’s father left to smoke. Park Seo-jin‘s family members nagged at his father who had declared to quit smoking to take care of his health due to a history of myocardial infarction, but still could not quit. Amidst the family’s urging, Park Seo-jin‘s father eventually decided to quit smoking once again.

Park Seo-jin’s family had a simple competition using exercise equipment to test lung capacity, and Park Seo-jin and his younger sister Hyo-jung showed their unreserved, realistic sibling sides by making a bet. The two also confiscated all of their father‘s cigarettes and lighters hidden all over the house. Park Seo-jin’s father showed his regret by saying, “I do this for my health, but I feel a little sad. He found all the cigarettes and I almost cried later,” causing laughter.



Park Seo-jin‘s father suffered from withdrawal symptoms just three hours after quitting smoking, and unlike his usual loving side, he showed a sensitive side to his wife by saying, “I don’t even want to kiss.” Park Seo-jin‘s family also went to harvest cabbages for kimchi, saying, “If you’re busy, you won‘t think about cigarettes.” However, despite the family’s efforts, the father‘s withdrawal symptoms continued, and he was even caught heading out to the terrace late at night, raising curiosity about whether the smoking cessation plan would be successful.

In the previous broadcast, Lee Min-woo recommended a health checkup to his exhausted parents. Lee Min-woo, who was worried about his mother’s history of knee surgery and diagnosis of lung cancer and dementia, and his father‘s history of brain disease, persuaded his parents, who had strongly refused to visit the hospital, and went to the hospital. After the medical examination, the mother confessed her true reason for being reluctant to have a health checkup, saying, “I’m scared that I might find a serious illness.”

After all the tests, Lee Min-woo‘s mother heard the doctor’s opinion that “you‘ve managed it well for your age,” and Lee Min-woo was greatly relieved. However, Lee Min-woo’s father received an unexpected diagnosis that his stomach ulcer was so severe that there was a possibility of cancer. Lee Min-woo, who had a health checkup for the first time in 10 years, also found out that his arteriosclerosis was quite advanced for his age, and was even diagnosed with the need to take high blood pressure medication, which surprised his entire family.

Lee Min-woo‘s mother said, “My husband and son’s results were not good, so I have to advise them well in the future,” and Lee Min-woo made up his mind, saying, “I have to take care of my health for the sake of my worried parents.” He also said, “I was really lucky to find out about my mother‘s dementia at an early stage through ’Salim Nam.‘ I’m so grateful that I was able to check my parents‘ conditions through a comprehensive checkup this time as well,” expressing his true feelings.
