On KBS 2TV‘s ‘Men Who Do Housework Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Men Who Do Housework’), Ji Sang-ryeol will be joining the show as the new Housework Nam for the new year.

Jang Sang-ryeol, who was synonymous with the entertainment industry’s ‘single man’ and ‘short-tempered man’, will break the stereotypes about himself and reveal his daily life that is 180 degrees different from his previous image.

First, Ji Sang-ryeol makes the shocking statement, “I‘m not a single man or a widower,” and surprises everyone by revealing a house full of traces of women, such as two pillows on the bed, toothbrushes placed side by side, and couple photos. Next, Ji Sang-ryeol’s live-in girlfriend appears for the first time on ‘Men Who Do Housework’, and Ji Sang-ryeol cannot hide his affection for her, saying, “We know each other just by looking at each other.” Not only does she wake Ji Sang-ryeol up in the morning with an affectionate morning call, but she also personally prepares his breakfast for him, drawing keen attention as to who her live-in girlfriend is.



In addition, the warm and unexpected Sang-ryeol house is revealed with Ji Sang-ryeol‘s older brother and sister-in-law and his youngest granddaughter all gathered together on this day. Ji Sang-ryeol, who has been misunderstood as having a rough personality due to his ‘bad guy’ character on TV, proves that he is a ‘granddaughter-fool’ by showing an affectionate side to his granddaughter. In particular, he spared no expense for his only granddaughter, such as giving her 20 don of gold as a gift on her last birthday. Park Seo-jin, who watched this, coquettishly says, “Let’s be close, hyung”, but Ji Sang-ryeol replies, “You earn more than me. He shows off his irreplaceable wit by saying, “I can teach you how to play the janggu too,” making the studio burst into laughter.

In the midst of this, the eldest brother Ji Sang-ryeol brings up the topic of marriage, saying, “People who know Sang-ryeol ask if he‘ll get married this year. They even wonder about his plans for a second child.” His sister-in-law says, “My fortune says a girl will come this year,” and Ji Sang-ryeol also focuses attention by adding, “I also had my fortune told, and it said that a girl will come even if I just do nothing.” Here, Park Seo-jin says, “It would be perfect if you do ’Mr. House Husband‘ this year and get married,” and MC Baek Ji-young also sends her support, saying, “Now that the prejudice against Ji Sang-ryeol has been broken, I think it will happen.”

With his unique wit and entertainment sense, Ji Sang-ryeol creates a lot of buzz just by appearing on TV, so expectations are rising for what kind of activities he will show on ’Mr. House Husband‘ in the future.

Ji Sang-ryeol’s unexpected life that breaks stereotypes can be seen on KBS 2TV‘s ’Mr. House Husband‘, which airs on the 25th (Sat) at 9:20 PM.
