‘Groom Class’ Kim Jong-min, Tony An, and Cheon Myung-hoon showed off their close friendship while having an ‘Wedding Invitation Gathering’ filled with laughter and tears.

In the 155th episode of Channel A‘s ‘These Days Men’s Life - Groom Class’ (hereafter ‘Groom Class’)’, which aired on the 19th, Kim Jong-min, who is getting married on April 20th, met with HOT‘s Tony An and NRG’s Cheon Myung-hoon and delivered wedding invitations. Kim Il-woo also prepared a surprise event to commemorate 100 days since they met at Park Sun-young‘s studio, impressing her. According to Nielsen Korea, the broadcast that day recorded an average viewership rating of 2.8% (nationwide for paid broadcasting households), and showed off its hot topic by dominating the ‘Most Viewed News’ and popular search terms of various portal sites.

Kim Jong-min, who met Tony An for the first time in a while, got in a car and headed to Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do. He had decided to meet Cheon Myeong-hoon, who lives in Yangpyeong, and have a ‘Youngmo’. In the car, Kim Jong-min casually asked, “Do you have a girlfriend, hyung?”. Tony An answered, “I don’t have a girlfriend, but I think it‘s time to think about marriage now.” He said, “I’m doing an academy with Bae Yoon-jung, and when I see the kids who go to the academy, they‘re so cute. That’s why I started thinking about marriage.” He then said, “I feel even more pressured because you‘re going too. I think I should go before I turn 50,“ expressing his burden. After a while, the two arrived at Cheon Myung-hoon’s house. When Cheon Myung-hoon saw Kim Jong-min, he said, ”I heard the news. I feel like crying,“ and congratulated him. Kim Jong-min replied, ”I want to give my hyungs good energy,“ and handed them the invitation. Tony An said, ”I never sing congratulatory songs, but I‘ll sing a congratulatory song in advance,“ and grabbed the microphone. Next, Cheon Myung-hoon read his congratulatory speech, saying, ”Actually, I prepared a letter after hearing the news of Jong-min’s marriage.“ He said, ”I couldn‘t believe it when you actually told me it was coming. I was proud of you, but also envious. I believe you will live well with your future wife,“ and his eyes reddened.

Chun Myung-hoon also made and served Kim Jong-min some nutritious food. During the meal, Kim Jong-min suddenly asked, ”Did you cook well for your ex-girlfriend?“ and confessed, ”Myung-hoon emceed the wedding of his ex-girlfriend.“ Cheon Myung-hoon was dumbfounded, saying, ”Why? Why?“ Amidst the amazing chemistry, Cheon Myung-hoon’s mother appeared. The mother joked, ”I thought my son would go first~“ and added, ”It‘s too bad I chose Eun Ga-eun as my daughter-in-law,“ making everyone burst into laughter. Afterward, Kim Jong-min also called his mother. In response to Tony An’s question, ”What do you like about your prospective daughter-in-law?“ the mother praised her daughter-in-law, saying, ”She‘s bright and kind.“ Kim Jong-min also boasted about his mother and girlfriend, who are already starting to resemble each other, saying, ”I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend and mother. But people thought I was his son-in-law.“ Here, Kim Jong-min’s mother added warmth by conveying her wish, ”I wish I could have a grandchild soon. I don‘t need pocket money anymore. I just want my son and daughter-in-law to live happily.“



A while later, an alarm went off on Kim Jong-min’s phone. Kim Jong-min explained, ”Today is my 900th day with my girlfriend,“ and shared a proof shot, saying, ”I proposed recently.“ Kim Jong-min was moved, saying, ”I rented a restaurant and set up lights in the forest myself. I said, ‘Will you marry me?’ and gave her a ring, and my girlfriend said, ‘Yes.’ I think it‘s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.“ The ‘Studio Mentor Corps’ were delighted, saying, “Jongmin‘s face is shining”, and Kim Jongmin finished the ‘Youngmo’ by cheering, “Hyungs can do it too!”.

Next, the date of the Kim Il-woo-Park Sun-young couple was revealed. On this day, the two affectionately shopped at a traditional market. Citizens enthusiastically cheered them on, saying, “You two look so good”, “I hope you get married”. The two, who finished shopping amidst the attention of many people, went into a pretty hanok lodging and prepared a meal. Kim Il-woo said, “I’m embarrassed, but today is exactly 100 days since I met Sun-young at the workshop”, and confessed, “Sun-young secretly prepared a 100-day event”. Park Sun-young made bibimbap without knowing this, and Kim Il-woo prepared boiled pork with ssanghwatang to set a sumptuous table. Meanwhile, actress Yang Hee-kyung made a surprise visit to the residence. Kim Il-woo said, ”We‘ve been close for almost 30 years, like family. She’s the one who knows me the best, so I wanted to introduce her to Seon-yeong,“ explaining the reason for inviting Yang Hee-kyung.

Yang Hee-kyung laughed at the sight of the two, saying, ”Seon-yeong is the mistress of this house, and Il-woo is like a servant. It looks like a newlywed couple moving into a new house.“ Afterwards, while having a meal, Yang Hee-kyung said, ”It‘s been a while since I’ve seen you two, and you‘ve changed so much. You both seem to have softened. I think it’s okay for you two to live together now,“ warming up the studio with her sincerity. Just then, the 100-day rice cakes prepared by Kim Il-woo arrived, and Park Seon-yeong was touched by Kim Il-woo‘s thoughtful event, saying, ”Was today the 100th day?“ He then said, ”I feel secure because I have Il-woo oppa,“ and Kim Il-woo responded, ”Our mother knows that Seon-yeong is almost a daughter-in-law,“ making everyone burst into laughter. Yang Hee-kyung also responded, ”Try being a daughter-in-law~.“ After Yang Hee-kyung left, Kim Il-woo set up a 100-day anniversary cake and drinks beautifully, and then he and Park Seon-yeong made cozy memories together, raising the ‘excitement index’ until the end.
