‘Groom Class’ Kim Jong-min received a ‘100 Groom Score’ from his bride-to-be.

On the 153rd episode of ‘These Days Men‘s Life - Groom Class’ on Channel A on the 5th, a day was shown where Kim Jong-min appointed his ‘20-year friend’ Haha as his ‘Groom Planner’ and started preparing for the wedding. Kim Il-woo also struggled to get a passing grade while having a ‘Meeting Ceremony’ with Park Sun-young’s family, the dogs, making viewers laugh.

First, Kim Il-woo and Park Sun-young‘s date was revealed. At the end of winter, Kim Il-woo rang the doorbell and said, “Today, I’m finally meeting Sun-young‘s family”. Then Park Sun-young opened the door and greeted him with two puppies. It turned out that this was a resort that allowed ‘dogs’, and that Kim Il-woo had made a reservation in advance to become close to Park Sun-young’s dogs. After seeing Park Sun-young‘s dogs, Kim Il-woo made a joke, saying, “Aren’t they both male? How about raising another male? They‘re old dogs, is that okay?“ Park Sun-young burst into laughter, and in the midst of the friendly atmosphere, Kim Il-woo made snacks for the dogs with his own hands. Upon seeing this, the ‘Mentor Corps’ said, “I’d love it too,”and gave them a ‘thumbs up”. After becoming close to the dogs, Kim Il-woo took Park Sun-young for a walk with them. The two, who had a good time playing ball toss, entered a restaurant that allowed dogs. While eating, Kim Il-woo asked Park Sun-young, “How about it? Today, I asked, ”Can I get a pass from ‘Marin, Poguri’ (Park Sun-young‘s dog name)?“ Park Sun-young answered, ”It can’t get any better than this for our kids (puppies)! Our kids are very picky. They hate ugly people,“ making Kim Il-woo laugh brightly.

In the sweet atmosphere, Kim Il-woo brought up the topic of marriage, saying, ”They say that when a married couple lives together, they start to resemble each other, right?“ Park Sun-young confessed, ”I think we‘re seeping into each other. The idea of living together resonates with me. But why is it so difficult? I think it’s timing.“ Kim Il-woo made a complicated expression, saying, ”In terms of timing, Sun-young and I should have met 10 years ago.“ Right after, in an interview with the production crew, he expressed his regret, saying, ”I actually think that it would have been better if a moment like this had happened 10 years ago.“ Here, Kim Il-woo asks Park Sun-young again, ”Didn‘t (Kim) Gook-jin and (Kang) Su-ji miss their timing and meet again and live well?“ and confesses meaningfully, ”Misplaced timing may not be such a bad thing,“ causing excitement. Following the two’s date, this time the busy day of the ‘April groom’ Kim Jong-min unfolded.

That day, Kim Jong-min made a surprise appearance on a radio show hosted by Haha, saying, ”I‘m going to meet an incredible romantic and event craftsman.“ Haha joked to Kim Jong-min, ”Your wedding date overlaps with Ailee’s, so it‘s a big deal. I’ve already received Ailee‘s invitation, so I think I should go to the wedding of the person who gave it to me first.“ Kim Jong-min earnestly requested, ”Please come even if you’re late,“ and Haha asked, ”Where is Koyote‘s Shinji going?“ Kim Jong-min replied, ”She’s close with Ailee, so she‘s probably going there...“ with an air of detachment. With their amazing chemistry, Haha headed to his studio with Kim Jong-min after finishing his radio show.

In the moving car, Kim Jong-min handed Haha a warm invitation, saying, ”This is your first time!“ He then appointed Haha as his ”groom planner,“ saying, ”Teach me a lot about marriage.“ Haha told him about the process of preparing for his wife Byul’s wedding and his know-how, and after a while, Haha arrived at the studio and asked, ”Has anyone seen your girlfriend before me?“ Kim Jong-min looked embarrassed and replied, ”Oh, Baekga did.“ Right after that, he called his girlfriend and introduced Haha. After greeting her brightly, Haha asked, ”Jongmin said he fell for ‘Hiyung’ at first sight. How was ‘Hiyung’?“ His girlfriend replied, ”He fell for you because you‘re cuter than he thought.“ His girlfriend then bragged, ”After taking ’groom lessons,‘ my husband expresses himself more and is more considerate.“ Kim Jong Min confessed, ”I was originally shy and had a hard time expressing myself, but these days, whenever we make eye contact, he says he loves me. That made [his girlfriend] tear up.“ In a warm atmosphere, HaHa asked, ”What is (Kim Jong Min’s) groom score?“ and his girlfriend immediately replied, ”100 points!“

After the warm phone call with ‘Hiyung’, the two started to organize the guest list in earnest. Then, when the topic of wedding gifts came up, Kim Jong Min emphasized, “The wedding gift I gave at your wedding was the most I‘ve ever given.” On the other hand, he confessed, “I still regret giving so little at Hodong’s wedding.” Kim Jong Min, who said, “I couldn‘t give much because I was a fresh graduate,” checked on Yang Se Chan and Lee Kwang Soo’s attendance on the phone. However, Lee Kwang Soo surprised everyone by ‘emassingly’ an anecdote about attending HaHa‘s meeting with the parents. He recalled his embarrassed state of mind, saying, “At that time, Haha hyung said that he had a younger sibling that I would get along well with, and that we should have a meal together, so I dressed up nicely and went to a hotel restaurant. However, when I opened the door, there were grandmothers there...” After laughing out loud, Kim Jong-min recorded a song to use for the ’Groom‘s Entrance’ on the wedding day with Haha‘s help. He said, “I want to do the ’Groom‘s Entrance’ while singing a revised version of Koyote‘s ’Our Dream‘,” and was moved as he said, “The word ’married man‘ used to sound like someone else’s story, but now it feels like it‘s become a reality.”

Channel A’s ‘Groom Class’ airs every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m.
