The splendid episodes of the Song Il-gook family have been revealed.

On the 4th episode of the ENA entertainment show ‘Choi Hwa-jeong and Kim Ho-young‘s I Missed You’ that aired on the 29th, Song Il-gook, the father of the nation’s triplets Dae-han, Minguk, and Man-se, appeared as a guest and completed a sumptuous meal with his cheerful banter.

On the show that day, which got off to a splendid start in Jongno, the essence of real restaurants, MCs Choi Hwa-jeong and Kim Ho-young went on a delicious trip down memory lane to Song Il-gook‘s favorite restaurant that boasts 120 years of history. This place, which also became famous as a store beloved by the late Kim Du-han, whetted the appetites of viewers with a menu that calls for a frenzy of eating, from the exquisite seolleongtang made with bone broth simmered for a long time, to refreshing kimchi soaked in savory bone broth, to the assorted boiled pork of four different parts with a rich charm that makes you keep reaching for more.



In addition, the cute recent status of the triplets who are going through the tunnel of puberty was revealed. Song Il-gook showed great sympathy for Man-se’s academic stress, saying that Man-se, who seems to be particularly uninterested in studying among the children, is just like him, making people laugh. Also, Song Il-gook, who realized that Manse is ‘Little Song Il-gook’, said, “If I messed with him wrong back then, he would have ended up like me”, which made everyone laugh.

Song Il-gook, who is infinitely weak in front of delicious food, revealed that he is the main cause of his wife‘s fights, making everyone’s eyes widen. He lost his senses due to the extreme diet and ate all the ice cream that his second son, Minguk, had saved, and he also confessed in good conscience that such unfortunate events happen often. Song Il-gook also made everyone laugh by reflecting, saying, “My wife would have gotten over it after one or two times, but I always fight with my kids over snacks”.

Song Il-gook also talked about the good news that happened in his family after marrying his wife. The real-life model of the drama ‘King Flower Fairy’ recommended getting married in the spring, and as if it were a lie, her mother, Kim Eul-dong, not only gained wings as a politician, but also her wife gained the so-called contact protection right (right to prevent being criticized) from her mother, he added.

In addition, we were able to hear the behind-the-scenes story of Song Il-gook and his wife‘s fateful first meeting. At the time, he was busy filming a drama, and he met his current wife, his ideal type, on a blind date. Song Il-gook, who said that the timing was good in many ways, recalled that time, saying, “The more we talked, the more I thought I had to marry this person,” and became the envy of singles who ‘I missed you’.

Song Il-gook surprised everyone by saying that he was able to pay off his debt and buy his current house thanks to the popularity he gained from the drama ‘Haeshin’ when he was on the verge of being kicked out of his rented house after losing his deposit. The story of how they had to go through many heartbreaking times when they needed urgent money due to the memorial project for Kim Du-han left everyone heartbroken. Kim Seung-soo then said, “I blew it all on company dinners,” expressing his envy, making everyone burst out in laughter.

ENA’s ‘I Missed You with Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young’ airs every Saturday at 9:40 p.m.
