On MBC ‘I Live Alone ‘, Yook Sung-jae showed off his extraordinary charm by boasting of his solid taste as a’ black madman ‘.Also, Kim Dae-ho’s appearance of searching for his family’s footsteps in a neighborhood of memories after about 30 years and crying at the reunion with his teacher whom he had longed to see brought warm emotions to the living room.

On the episode of MBC ‘I Live Alone ‘that aired on the 30th, the’ cave house ‘of’ black madman ‘Yook Sung-jae, who has been living alone for 8 years, and Kim Dae-ho, who visited his old neighborhood where he lived 30 years ago, were revealed.

The house of Yuk Seong-jae, who has lived alone for 8 years, is decorated entirely in black, from the floor to the sofa, dining table, and chairs, to the custom-made black furniture, refrigerator, and trash can, drawing attention.He said, “I often finish work late at night and sleep in the morning, so I’ve always liked living in the dark,” and “I thought, ‘If that’s the case, let’s make the house itself dark.’”


The morning routine of Yook Sungjae, who spends his time in the’ cave house ‘filled with black, was also revealed.He said, “I think of myself as a bear living in a cave,” and for a while, he turned on the TV and dazed himself on the sofa, and took care of his health with a spoonful of honey.He then said, “For lunch, I definitely have pork cutlet,” and ate his first meal, his soul food, pork cutlet.

Also, Yook Sungjae took on the challenge of doing his own interior design to make the white walls and air conditioner in his house’ black ‘.He even bought an electric drill and drilled holes in the wall to hang a black clock, and showed off his’ dexterity DNA ‘by attaching black sheeting to the air conditioner.

Yook Sungjae, who had planned to cut out the black sheet after pasting it all on, surprised everyone by jumping with the sheet in his hands when it didn’ t work out.Even though it wasn’t perfect, the Rainbow members were amazed by his endless determination to make it ‘black’.However, there was a problem where the air conditioner remote control didn’t work, which caused laughter.


Yook Sungjae said, “I have many different looks as a person.When ‘red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet’ are all mixed together, it’s black(?).All of my looks are black,” sharing his thoughts on his taste.Kian84 corrected him, saying, “When you add them all up, it’s gray,” making everyone laugh once again.Park Na-rae expressed her curiosity about Yook Sungjae, who has a firm taste and does whatever he wants to do, even if it’s not perfect, saying, “I think he’s an extraordinary person.”

Meanwhile, Kim Dae-ho visited the neighborhood where he lived as a child after 30 years.Kim Dae-ho, who followed his memories and visited the places where he lived as a child, naturally followed in his family’s footsteps.He was in tears when he came across the apartment that his parents had worked hard to win for the first time.He said, “My father worked at a textile company and had an accident, so he was very sick,” and “For health reasons rather than work, the whole family moved to Yangpyeong,” revealing the story behind the apartment, garnering sympathy.

Kim Dae-ho also shed tears like a child when he met his teacher after 30 years.He said, “Actually, he was a teacher I only met for 4 months.After my father’s incident, I had to go down to Yangpyeong, and he wrote a handwritten letter to the homeroom teacher at the school I transferred to in Yangpyeong.I didn’t know about the letter at the time, but I heard about it later.He said, ‘There is no teacher like this.Be sure to visit me later.’ I lived with that feeling for 30 years.”

Kim Dae-ho recalled the touching moment of their reunion, saying, “As the teacher walked toward me, I heard my own voice in my ear when I was little.In that short time, I had become a baby.I couldn’t hold back my tears.” Kim Dae-ho treated the teacher to a meal, and the two took out photos they had kept and shared memories they had forgotten.


Kim Dae-ho sent a letter expressing his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for being a shining piece of my life.I will also work hard to become a shining piece of your life.Thank you for being my teacher.” The teacher responded to Kim Dae-ho’s letter with a deep hug as a thank you and a reply.The Rainbow members also shed tears at the sight of the two, and Gian84 in particular caught everyone’s attention by covering his face and crying even harder than Kim Dae-ho.

Kim Dae-ho continued, “In the past three months, I’ve been greedy and impatient.There were aspects of me that weren’t me.I felt like my teacher was listening to my story and telling me that I had a hard time,” and confessed his feelings of impatience and greed after declaring himself a freelancer.Jeon Hyun-moo consoled Kim Dae-ho, saying, “The three months you declared yourself a freelancer must have been similar to the embarrassment you felt when you transferred schools.” The reunion between Kim Dae-ho and his teacher brought deep emotion and tears to viewers, just like a movie.

Meanwhile, according to Nielsen Korea, the household viewership rating for the episode of ‘I Live Alone ‘that aired that day was 5.6% in the metropolitan area.The 2049 viewership rating was 3.3% (based on the metropolitan area).The best minute was the scene where Yook Sung-jae eats his first satisfying meal of his favorite menu,’ Donkatsu’, in the dark(23:36), recording a viewership rating of 6.6%.
