Oh Yoon-ah, who opened her eyes in the morning, showed off her six-step skin care routine.MC Shin Dong-yup, who saw this, exclaimed, “So that’s why you got hit on by a man 16 years younger than you?” and asked, “Did he contact you again?” Oh Yoon-ah replied, “I did get a call,” while feeling embarrassed, making Hwang Jung-eum and Lee Soo-kyung envious.After that, Oh Yoon-ah enjoyed some free time alone while making a healthy sandwich.Regarding this, he said, “If you apply for the Solidarity for the Disabled, a pick-up teacher will come and take Min-i to school,” and explained, “We are sharing Min-i’s care with the care service supported by the government.We have a system in place where he takes classes at various exercise centers after school.” Oh Yoon-ah then revealed her own belief in parenting, “If the mother is happy, the child is happy too.”



When it was time for her son to get off school, Oh Yoon-ah headed to the administrative welfare center.She went to fill out an application to get a resident registration card for Min-i, who is 19 years old.Oh Yoon-ah met her son there and was nervous that Min-i might not be able to concentrate, but she successfully completed the application by registering all of Min-i’s fingerprints.Immediately after, Oh Yoon-ah said, “It felt strange.I devoted my life to raising Min-i…” and her eyes turned red.Hwang Jung-eum and Lee Soo-kyung, who were watching, also shed tears, saying, “This is really amazing.” The touching emotion was short-lived, and Min-i disappeared from the center.Oh Yoon-ah didn’t panic and went into a nearby convenience store.There, she found her son absorbed in looking at snacks, quickly bought him some snacks, and then went to the gym.After leaving her son with a dedicated trainer at the gym, Oh Yoon-ah devoted herself to working out “separately but together.” Seeing her son working out so well, Oh Yoon-ah was touched and said, “I’m so grateful that he follows me like that.”

After working out, Oh Yoon-ah and Min-i ordered rice noodles, fried rice, etc.from a nearby restaurant.After finishing all the work for the day, Oh Yoon-ah returned home and drank beer in her room.However, Min-i came looking for her right away.Oh Yoon-ah’s return to real-life parenting in just 5 minutes brought laughter and lingering emotions, and this time, Lee Soo-kyung’s solo daily life was revealed.

Who’s your ideal type?” Lee Soo-kyung responded in detail, “He has to be tall, kind to me, and cold to others.” Park Sung-woong responded, “Just live with Oh Jung-yeon,” making everyone burst into laughter.Hwang Jung-eum said, “Sister Soo-kyung, you really have a fun life.It makes us happy to watch you,” and Oh Yoon-ah showed a genuine reaction, saying, “It’s nice to see you so energetic.” The viewers also sympathized with Lee Soo-kyung’s easygoing charm and salty solo life and sent her support.
