Actress Jang Shin-young appeared on a broadcast for the first time since her husband Kang Kyung-joon‘s alleged affair and confessed her feelings.

Kim Jong-min’s behind-the-scenes story of his relationship was revealed on SBS‘s ‘My Little Old Boy’, drawing attention. According to Nielsen Korea’s statistics, ‘My Little Old Boy’ (hereafter ‘My Little Old Boy’) that aired on the 13th recorded a 3.8% viewership rating for the 2049 demographic and a 14.3% viewership rating for households in the metropolitan area, maintaining its No. 1 spot among weekly entertainment programs in the 2049 demographic and households in the metropolitan area for the third consecutive week.

Actress Jang Shin-young appeared as a special MC that day. Seo Jang-hoon, who was happy to be reunited with her after ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2’, said, “I think Jang Shin-young must have felt burdened by the many articles that came out saying that she would be appearing on ‘My Little Old Boy’. When asked, ”It must not have been easy to decide to appear, how was it?“ Jang Shin-young said, ”I was surprised because there were more articles than I thought. I even thought, ‘Is it wrong for me to appear now?’ and I lost my confidence.“ Jang Shin-young continued, ”I should have shown a good side of myself, but I‘m sorry for showing a disappointing side of myself,“ and added, ”I’m an actor and a broadcaster, so I gathered up the courage to show myself as a comfortable guest and broadcasting person.“

Jang Shin-young also revealed her feelings, saying, ”At that time, I really thought, ‘What is this?’ so I couldn‘t see anything. It seemed like my husband (Kang Kyung-joon) was naked, and it was so hard for me as a wife to watch that.“



Im Won-hee, Kim Jong-min, and Choi Jin-hyuk gathered at Im Won-hee’s house and dug into Kim Jong-min‘s love story. When Choi Jin-hyuk asked, ”How did you end up going public?“, Kim Jong-min answered, ”It’s because of Heechul. I can‘t lie,“ revealing the beginning of the public disclosure of his love life. When Im Won-hee said, ”Isn’t she 11 years younger? I heard she‘s 162cm tall,“ Kim Jong-min replied, ”She’s 164cm. Because of that, I got a lot of hate (from my girlfriend),“ making everyone laugh.

Regarding their meeting story, Kim Jong-min said, ”I saw her briefly at an introduction event. It wasn‘t a blind date. An older brother I know naturally introduced me because he said, ’I thought we‘d look good together.’“ Lim Won-hee said, ”I don‘t need anything else, just show me the picture,“ and when Kim Jong-min showed him the picture, he exclaimed, ”This is awesome. I took a quick look and she’s not only pretty, she also seems really smart.“ Choi Jin-hyuk joked, ”I guess opposites meet,“ and Lim Won-hee retorted, ”She‘s Princess Pyeonggang.“

Kim Jong-min then invited Jeon Han-gil, a Korean history instructor with annual sales of 20 billion won, for Choi Jin-hyuk. When Choi Jin-hyuk asked, ”How much tax do you pay, teacher?“ Jeon Han-gil surprised everyone by answering, ”I paid 2.5 billion won in taxes this year.“ Jeon Han-gil prepared a Korean history level test for his sons, and the results of the test turned out to be a surprise, with Lim Won-hee coming in first place.

Jung Young-joo busily prepared food for Chuseok, her first since reuniting with her parents. Jung Young-joo, who was preparing japchae, took out 40 servings of noodles, and Seo Jang-hoon, who was watching from the studio, was surprised and said, ”If it’s for 40 servings, isn‘t it enough to serve at a buffet?“ Thanks to the skills of the Big Hand Family, a lavish ancestral rite table was quickly set, but Jung Young-joo soon realized that she forgot the chicken to put on the table. In an awkward situation, Jung Young-joo suggested an alternative, ”Let’s order chicken,“ and made everyone laugh by saying, ”Sometimes grandmas and grandpas might want to eat fried food.“ In the scene where Jung Young-joo‘s family performs ancestral rites in front of an online folding screen instead of a real folding screen, the highest viewership rating per minute rose to 17.7%, taking the title of the ”Best Minute“ of the day.

Bae Sung-jae and Lee Yong-dae, who worked together on the 2024 Paris Olympics broadcast, visited a restaurant recommended by Bae Sung-jae. The first restaurant Bae Sung-jae revealed was a supermarket in Jongno. Yong-dae was taken aback by the old supermarket-like atmosphere, and Bae Seong-jae said, ”This is a famous restaurant that only office workers know about.“ The two ordered stir-fried pork, water parsley pancakes, fried ham, black bean ramen, and tofu pancakes and had a heated eating show. Bae Seong-jae asked, ”Yong-dae eats better than you think. Do athletes get washboard abs after eating like this?“ and Yong-dae said, ”I used to eat a lot and it was better. I still have them when I take them off,“ revealing his defined abs, making Bae Seong-jae envious.

SBS’s ‘My Little Old Boy’ airs every Sunday at 9:05 p.m.
