‘Mr.House Husband’ has topped the overall Saturday entertainment viewership ratings for five consecutive weeks by conveying the touching story of Park Seo-jin’s family and the unexpected daily life of ‘NEW Mr.House Husband’ Jinu.
On KBS 2TV show ‘Men Who Do Housework Season 2’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Mrs.Housework’) that aired on the 28th, the story of Park Seo-jin planning his father’s 70th birthday party and the episode of Jinu, who made his first appearance as the ‘NEW Mrs.Housework’ were depicted.
Accordingly, the viewership ratings recorded 6.4% according to Nielsen Korea’s nationwide tally, and the scene where the Park Seo-jin trio hears the results of their father’s knee test recorded 7.4%.
The three siblings were worried about their father, who had recently shown signs of depression along with his deteriorating health, and recalled when he was the happiest, and Park Seo-jin remembered what his father had said before.Park Seo-jin’s father had previously said, “I was the happiest when I lived in Shindo.My sons were all alive, and I lived comfortably without any worries.” So the three siblings decided to throw a lavish 70th birthday party for their father in Shindo.
The three siblings gathered together and cheered for their father’s successful 70th birthday party and headed to their parents ‘house.The parents were worried about Park Seo-jin, who had injured his ankle, but he was more concerned about his father’s health, who had been complaining of severe knee pain, and headed to the hospital with his older brother.
While moving, Park Seo-jin urged his brother to hold his father’s hand and support him, and his brother also mustered up his courage and approached him.The father responded with satisfaction, saying, “My knees hurt, so that’s good.My son supports me, and my two sons came to the hospital together,” which brought tears to his eyes.
In particular, Park Seo-jin’s father said, “I felt really good when we held hands.My heart was full and it felt like the pain was running away,” and “It was the first time in my life that I held Hyo-young’s hand.I felt secure.No matter what people said, I felt satisfied and happy because my two sons were by my side.I wondered when I would ever have a day like this again.”
Then, the father, who arrived at the hospital, explained his symptoms in detail that he had not been able to tell his children.The diagnosis was that his knee condition was so serious that in the worst case, he would have to consider artificial joint surgery.Park Seo-jin was so shocked that he could not continue speaking, and the father said, “My head went blank.When you turn 70, you empty your mind a lot.I can’t express that feeling in words.I cried.”
Park Seo-jin tried to cheer up his depressed father, and the father said he had a wish and headed to a photo studio with his two sons.The three of them were awkward about taking their first triplet photo, but thanks to Park Seo-jin’s encouragement, the older brother plucked up his courage and gave his father a kiss on the cheek.The father said, “It felt really good to take a photo of the three of us for the first time.I thought, ‘I can have a day like this too.’It’s such a great thing to be able to take a photo with my two sons.”
While the friendly atmosphere continued, my father suddenly asked to take a solo photo.He explained, “My father passed away at the age of 53 and my mother at the age of 64.Neither of them were able to leave behind a memorial photo while they were alive, so my mother enlarged an existing photo and my father drew a picture to replace the memorial photo.” He continued, “That’s why I wanted to take a memorial photo while I was still young, even if it was just for a year, since I’m happy today.”
Park Seo-jin ended up shedding tears at his father’s unexpected words.He said, “The meaning is good, but the longevity photo is ultimately a memorial photo, so it seemed like my dad was preparing for the end.I also thought he was taking it before he got sicker,” and “It made me so sad to see my dad calmly preparing.” Next week, his longevity photo shoot and 70th birthday party were foreshadowed, raising expectations for the next episode by stimulating tear ducts along with deep emotion.
Also, the daily life of Jinusean’s Jinu, who has newly joined ‘Mr.House Husband’, has been revealed.Before Jinu’s appearance, his beautiful wife, who reminds us of Han Go-eun, appeared first and caught our attention.In particular, his wife is an IT industry CEO and a lawyer, and she boasts the highest level of qualifications among all the ‘Mr.House Husband’ contestants, drawing admiration.
The wife, who achieved her dream of becoming a lawyer despite her difficult family circumstances, revealed her daily routine, saying, “I live by dividing my time into 30-minute units,” and attracted attention by appearing to be a wife, mother, lawyer, and businesswoman.
Next, Jinu, the ‘original hip-hop warrior’ who dominated the 1990s and the new protagonist of ‘House Husband’, made an appearance.Unlike his fellow member Sean, Jinu rarely appears on broadcasts, which made fans curious, but he caught everyone’s attention by revealing his current status, saying, “I’m currently busy raising my 4-year-old son.”
In fact, Jinu and his wife’s daily routine was completely different.While his wife worked passionately in a busy schedule, Jinu showed a contrasting side by enjoying leisurely breaks.While his wife worried about the broadcast time and gave him advice here and there, Jinu did not lose his composure with his characteristically easygoing attitude.
Jinu’s wife revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the stage, saying, “My husband has a nickname of ‘hip-hop’s sloth.’At last year’s ‘Gayo Festival,’ he initially declined to appear on the stage with Jinusean and Jang Won-young, saying it was annoying.So I told him, ‘How can you not do it when you’re doing it with Jang Won-young? You have to do it with a grateful heart.’”
He then confessed that his wife strongly recommended that he appear on’ Mr.House Husband ‘, saying, “You have to work hard when you can.Later on, you may not be able to do it even if you want to and you may regret it.” He also drew attention by confessing that his wife strongly recommended that he appear on’ Mr.House Husband ‘.
Jinu expressed his special affection, saying, “It feels like my heart has come out and is walking around.Before I had my son, I was the priority, but now Sio is the priority.He is the greatest gift in the world.”
Jinu proved his side as a ‘real house husband’ by taking charge of not only childcare and housework, but also flower care.He showed his sincerity by personally growing plants and even catching flies for his son who is interested in the Venus flytrap.Jinu said, “Until the child is 13, mom and dad are the best.After that, friends, girlfriends, and wife come first.” He added, “That’s why I want to be right next to the child for those 10 years.I had a child late, so he is so precious and I want to always be with him.”
After that, Jinu spent time alone with his wife.His wife, worried about her husband’s health due to his family history of diabetes, suggested that he exercise with Sean.She also asked about Sean’s current situation and said, “Let’s put Sio aside for a while and also put down the housework,” expressing her hope that Jinu would start working outside again.
However, Jinu reacted somewhat uncomfortably to his wife’s affectionate nagging.Jinu hesitated, saying, “I had a child late, so he is so precious and I want to be with him all the time.When I get busy, I have to leave my son with someone else, and I don’t like that.” MC Eun Ji-won said, “I 100% understand Jinu’s feelings,” and Baek Ji-young sympathized, saying, “From a wife’s perspective, it might be a shame to let her husband’s talent go to waste.” However, Jinu responded positively after hearing his wife’s sincere feelings, and expectations are high for his future activities.
This time, ‘Mr.House Husband’ delivered a heartbreaking story of Park Seo-jin’s family’s love for their father, and the new house husband Jinu’s unexpected daily life was entertaining.
‘Mr.House Husband’ airs every Saturday at 9:20 PM on KBS 2TV.
