On this day, a video containing the story of Park Seo-jin’s family was revealed, with Baek Ji-heon of the group fromis_9 appearing as a special guest.Park Seo-jin discussed the plan with his older brother Hyo-young and younger sister Hyo-jung while preparing a surprise 70th birthday party for his father, who turns 70 this year.

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 gloomy 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.

Next, the daily life of Jinusean Jinu, who has newly joined ‘Mr.House Husband’, was revealed.Before Jinu appeared, his beautiful wife, who is reminiscent of Han Go-eun, appeared first and caught everyone’s attention.In particular, the 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 difficult family circumstances, revealed her daily life, saying, “I live by dividing my time into 30-minute units,” and attracted attention by running wild as 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 a behind-the-scenes story about her husband, saying, “My husband has a nickname of ‘hip-hop’s sloth.’At first, he refused to appear on the stage with Jinusean and Jang Won-young at’ Gayo Festival ‘last year, saying it was annoying.So I told him,’ You’re doing it with Jang Won-young, so how can you not do it? You have to do it with a grateful heart.’” She continued, “You have to work hard when you can.Later on, you might not be able to do it even if you want to and you might regret it,” and confessed that her wife actively encouraged her to appear on’ Mr.House Husband ‘, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, Jinu showed off another unexpected charm by transforming into a’ housekeeping man ‘who is serious about housework and childcare in front of his son.Having a late child at the age of 51, he said, “I thought I wouldn’ t have children in my life, but this is the greatest surprise and gift in my life,” and drew attention by revealing his four-year-old son Sio for the first time on a broadcast.Jinu expressed his special affection, saying, “It feels like my heart has come out and is walking around.Before I had a son, I used to come first, but now Sio comes first.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.
