In ‘Joseon‘s Lover’, groom-to-be Shim Hyun-seop heads to a urology department with ‘Kyeolchuwi’ support group chairman and ‘father of many children’ Lee Cheon-soo and falls into a shocking and terrifying situation.

In the pre-released video of ‘Joseon’s Lover’ to be aired on the afternoon of the 24th, Shim Hyun-seop is captured lying on a urology bed for a male wedding physical, a mandatory course before marriage. When Shim Hyun-seop first sees the rod-shaped probe that must be inserted into the anus for a prostate exam, he is terrified and makes people laugh by saying, “Don‘t I have anesthesia?“, “It won’t come out through the mouth (after going in the anus), right?” The loving MCs who were watching this were shocked, saying, “How can they do that test without anesthesia?”, “It looks really painful.”



For Shim Hyun-seop, who was pale, Lee Cheon-soo, the head of the ‘Prostate Cancer Support Group, encouraged him, saying, “It‘s an important test (that must be done before marriage).” However, Shim Hyun-seop trembled in fear until the end, saying, “I heard that there are many people who don’t get this test even after getting married.” Lee Cheon-soo, who is ‘Experienced in Prostate Tests’, firmly persuaded Shim Hyun-seop, saying, “If the man is healthy, the woman will be healthy too. Isn‘t that being considerate (to your sister-in-law)?” Meanwhile, as the prostate examination began, Lee Cheon-soo, the head of the support group, continued to enthusiastically(?) stick to Shim Hyun-seop, causing Kim Gook-jin to look flustered and say, “Why is Cheon-soo there?”, causing laughter.

The tearful(?) wedding preparations of ‘groom-to-be’ Shim Hyun-seop for his girlfriend Yeong-rim, who is hoping for a second child, will be revealed on the ultra-realistic documentary entertainment show TV CHOSUN ‘Joseon’s Lover’ on Monday, March 24 at 10 p.m.
