On ‘Joseon‘s Lover’, comedian Shim Hyun-seop was shown receiving marriage approval from the parents of his girlfriend, who is 11 years younger than him. The two will be getting married in the spring of 2025.

On the TV CHOSUN ‘Joseon’s Lover’ that aired on the 20th, Shim Hyun-seop was shown going to ask his girlfriend‘s parents for marriage approval. On this day, Shim Hyun-seop said, “I’m going to take Yeong-rim‘s parents to a restaurant in my car,” and announced his plans for a ‘car bath’ as well as his cleansing ritual. Afterwards, Shim Hyun-seop left the house, leaving a solemn greeting in front of a picture of his deceased mother, saying, “The youngest son is going to ask for marriage approval.

However, when Shim Hyun-seop actually met his girlfriend’s parents, he stuttered nervously and barely managed to greet them, saying, “Father, mother... you look really cool today.” Despite the awkward atmosphere, his girlfriend‘s father seemed satisfied, saying, “Is a car this clean for a man to ride alone?” Shim Hyun-seop then gave a witty reply, “I want to be like my father,” earning him points from his girlfriend’s parents. However, when Shim Hyun-seop♥Jeong Young-rim started flirting as if they had forgotten about their parents, his father said, “Ahem... ” and showed signs of discomfort.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Shim Hyun-seop showed a different side by carefully taking care of his parents‘ water and his girlfriend’s clothes. His father, who was watching this, smiled faintly. In the midst of the silence, the youngest daughter Jeong Yeong-rim‘s aegyo brought the atmosphere to life. Lee Kyung-sil and Kang Soo-ji were satisfied, saying, “The atmosphere is good. Yeong-rim is trying really hard.”

However, Shim Hyun-seop poured cold water on the situation by saying, “One friend went to greet her, but her father-in-law was against it. Another friend’s mother-in-law was so against it that it was really hard.” Hwang Bo-ra and Choi Sung-guk sighed, saying, “Why did you have to say something like that! What do you want me to do?” and Lee Kyung-sil burst into laughter, saying, “Of all the gags Hyun-seop has done, this one is the funniest.” In the midst of this, the father said, “Regardless of whether it‘s hard or not, he said his daughter is good... Even if we’re a little like that...” and showed a somewhat displeased expression, and Shim Hyun-seop quickly lost his spirit.

Sim Hyun-seop, who was dispirited, ate without even talking. Kim Ji-min sighed and shouted, “Stop eating!” Sim Hyun-seop, who was in an uncomfortable situation for the first time, even had to swallow his vomit and finished his meal with difficulty. Sim Hyun-seop, who had barely recovered his mentality, said, “I would appreciate it if you would approve our marriage so that I can be Yeong-rim’s lifelong partner and live happily as her husband.”

His father said, “Since my daughter likes it so much, it’s no different from approving,” and gave his permission for the marriage. Jeong Yeong-rim put the finishing touches on her parents by saying, “I hope we get married this spring.” Sim Hyun-seop, who decided on the marriage date along with his permission to marry, shouted “Hooray!”, and the studio erupted in cheers and congratulatory applause.


Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-sil, the mother who had been estranged from her son for a year, appeared in the studio as a special guest, and Lee Kyung-sil candidly revealed her inner feelings during the time when she was estranged from her son Son Bo-seung.

After having a meal with his mother Lee Kyung-sil on the VCR, Son Bo-seung said “I have to go quickly” and left for somewhere. It was close to midnight, and Son Bo-seung started working as a designated driver. He went through all sorts of hardships working as a designated driver until 4 a.m., including missing calls, not answering customers, and customers who demanded that he run red lights and smoke.

In fact, when Son Bo-seung had his son out of wedlock, he bought a motorcycle and worked as a deliveryman for clothes at Dongdaemun. Regarding this, Lee Kyung-sil said, “I didn‘t know that he could work while riding a motorcycle, but my heart sank when I heard that. I told him that it would be nice to work during the day, even though it’s good to do it while acting, but he said, ‘I have to work at night so I have freedom,’” and expressed her pride in her son, who thinks positively about being a husband and father of a family, and took a step forward in restoring his mother-son relationship.
