‘Joseon‘s Lovers’ new lovebirds Chae Rina ♥ Park Yong-geun announced their wedding 10 years late and the news of their IVF challenge. Also, ‘Resurrection’ charismatic leader Kim Tae-won caught everyone’s attention by going on a special date in Jongno, where he first met his wife Lee Hyun-joo in their youth, after 20 years.

On the ‘Joseon‘s Lovers’ broadcast on the 24th, Chae Rina, who is known as ‘the fastest million-selling artist in music industry history’, ‘#1 on the top 10 for 5 consecutive weeks’, and ‘90s top star’, joined the show with her husband Park Yong-geun, who is 6 years younger than her. Kim Gook-jin explained his relationship with Chae Rina from his days as a music show VJ and also talked about meeting Kang Soo-ji at the time. When Hwang Bo-ra asked, “Couldn’t you have surpassed (Kang Soo-ji back then)?”, a furious Kim Gook-jin replied, “There‘s no one I couldn’t surpass,” showing his “well-founded confidence.”

Chae Rina, who appeared on the VCR, explained why they haven‘t had a wedding ceremony yet despite it being their 10th wedding anniversary. In 2012, Chae Rina and Park Yong-geun were involved in the “Gangnam knife attack incident” while with acquaintances. As a result of this incident, Park Yong-geun was in such critical condition that he was diagnosed as “99% dead” in the emergency room, but fortunately he survived. However, someone in the party died at the time, and as a result, Chae Rina and Park Yong-geun, although they had developed into a couple, did not have a wedding ceremony and quietly began their married life. Regarding this, Park Yong-geun said, “I lived at Chae Rina’s house for several months since we started dating. It might sound strange, but he shyly said, “I live with my parents.”



And the couple’s scary(?) first meeting became a topic of conversation. Unlike Chae Rina, who confidently said, “My heart was pounding from the start, right?” Park Yong-geun made everyone laugh by saying, “We first met through an acquaintance, and I was scared. He came wearing a strange leather jacket.” When the production team asked, “When did you start liking (Chae Rina) as a woman?” Park Yong-geun blushed and avoided answering, saying, “When and how… it happened,” creating a warm atmosphere.

Chae Rina, sitting across from her mother, with whom she lives, revealed her wedding plans and confessed her intentions to undergo in vitro fertilization, which she had tried but stopped. Chae Rina‘s mother, who ‘very much agreed’ to her daughter’s good news, said, “(My daughter) hates being lonely, so she calls me even when she‘s taking a half-body bath. Won’t Rina be lonely after I go to heaven?”

Park Yong-geun and Chae Rina then met with Diva members Min-kyung, ‘single mom’, and Genie, ‘single woman’, for the first time in a while. When they heard the news of the wedding, Min-kyung and Genie looked more excited than the person involved and engaged in a ‘bouquet battle’, making everyone burst into laughter. Later, Min-kyung and Genie‘s surprise appearance of trying to hire ‘Jamsil Stadium’ as the wedding hall piqued curiosity.

Meanwhile, Kim Tae-won, the leader of the legendary band Boohwal and ‘nation’s grandma’, went on a date in Seoul with his wife Lee Hyun-joo, who is strongly opposed to the ‘Korean wedding’ between her American son-in-law Devin♥daughter Kim Seo-hyun. As they head to the Paradise Shopping Mall where the two first met in their youth, Lee Hyun-joo‘s ability as a ‘Kim Tae-won care specialist’ is fully demonstrated. Kim Tae-won also recalls his memories at the thoughtful care, saying, “It seemed like she would brighten me up from the first time we met”, and he recalled the image of his wife whom he fell in love with at first sight. Afterwards, Kim Tae-won, who found a four-cut photo studio while walking down the street, took a date photo with his wife for the first time in decades and was moved, saying, “We don’t have photos of just the two of us. I had a great time taking photos today”.

After moving to a cafe, Kim Tae-won asks his wife Lee Hyun-joo directly why she is against their daughter‘s ‘Korean wedding’. Lee Hyun-joo confesses her feelings, saying, “The three Kims tormented me so much”. Lee Hyun-joo had a hard time for a long time because of her husband Kim Tae-won, who was sick, her son who was diagnosed with autism, and her daughter who suffered from severe depression! Afterwards, she recalled the past when she couldn’t pay much attention to her daughter because she was taking care of her sick son, and her eyes turned red.

The couple moved to the live performance hall on the upper floor of the cafe to lighten the mood. When the guitar was seen, Kim Tae-won created a touching scene by singing his wife‘s favorite song, ‘Scenery’, live for the first time. Although Kim Tae-won got the lyrics wrong and his wife corrected them, which was a funny and sad situation, Lee Hyun-joo shed tears of emotion, saying, “(rather) I’m glad it made me laugh.” After that, his wife allowed her daughter to have a ‘Korean wedding’, perhaps thanks to Kim Tae-won‘s surprise event, and the family ended up having a warm happy ending.

The hyper-realistic documentary variety show ‘Joseon’s Lovers’ airs every Monday at 10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN.
