He expressed deep sympathy for the small screen by sincerely capturing the real-life concerns of singer Lee Min-woo's family.

KBS 2TV's Salimnam, which aired on the 7th, featured singer Chu as a special guest, depicting the family's insomnia breaking project for Park Seo-jin and the story of Lee Min-woo's family's controversy. The broadcast on the same day recorded a national viewership of 5.0% for Nielsen Korea, and Park Seo-jin's father, who has insomnia, put Park Seo-jin to sleep, showed the highest viewership of 6.5%.

In particular, "Salimnam" not only showed a steady rise in ratings despite head-on competition with weekend golden dramas, but also recorded high numbers in 2049 ratings, a key indicator of popularity, proving the power of the Saturday entertainment powerhouse.

On this day's broadcast, Park Seo-jin's younger brother Hyo-jung began with tears at the bus stop, raising questions. Then, the situation of 10 hours ago was revealed, and Park Seo-jin, who has been suffering from insomnia for 12 years, was depicted unable to sleep again in deep concern for his family.

Park Seo-jin said, "My mom's voice hasn't come out well since one day. There was even a sound of iron. I went to the hospital because I had a lump in my neck, but he recommended a biopsy, saying that thyroid cancer was also suspected. I felt like I had been hit in the head," he said, expressing his shock at the time. His worries and anxiety deepened as his father's cerebrovascular disease and his younger brother Hyo-jung's health problems overlapped with the news of his mother's health problems, which had been diagnosed with cervical cancer for only two years.

This weight of mind eventually led to a conflict between siblings. The words that began with concern for each other were increasingly mixed, contrary to the sincerity, and as emotions rose, they turned into great arguments. Eventually, Hyo-jung declared to run away from home, and the conflict reached its peak.

The next day, in front of Hyojung, who was sitting at the bus stop and wiping away tears alone, his parents, who rushed up from Samcheonpo, appeared. Running from Samcheonpo to reconcile the brother and sister. Park Seo-jin, who was worried about his younger brother, was embarrassed by Hyo-jung's return with her parents, but soon looked relieved. Hyo-jung also said, "I couldn't sleep, so my eyes were very blue and I felt sorry. I was very worried," he said.

For the siblings, who were worried about each other but quarreling with each other, the father took off his new wig and changed the atmosphere. The heavy air was released with laughter, and Park Seo-jin and Hyo-jung shared their apologies to each other and had a time of reconciliation.

The father then patted his son, who couldn't sleep, like a child and tried to put him to sleep. He said, "I'm sorry dad. "I was worried that you seemed to be losing sleep because you cared about us," he said, expressing deep love by saying, "Now put down your worries about your family and live for you." In response, Park Seo-jin said, "No matter how old I am, I thought I was still a child to my father." In the meantime, his mother and Hyojung prepared a table full of lettuce that was good for sleeplessness to help Park Seo-jin sleep well.

Since then, the Park Seo-jin family has visited the water park to help them sleep well by moving their bodies enough. Park Seo-jin, who is new to the water park, confessed, "It is also the first time since kindergarten that I went to play in the water with my family," and my father smiled warmly at his brother and sister, who had never played properly to help them make a living since they were young.

Meanwhile, an unexpected situation unfolded to another 'living man' Lee Min-woo. Recently, my parents, who had been in conflict due to differences in parenting and lifestyle, disappeared without saying a word. Shocked, Lee Min-woo urgently called his mother, but he couldn't reach her, and when he finally connected with her after several attempts, he immediately asked where she was and could not hide his anxiety.

Lee Min-woo's mother hung up the phone, saying, "I came down to my hometown Namwon," and "We'll live comfortably and well, so you guys should live well together." In response, Lee Min-woo fell into a complex state of mind, saying, "What did I do to make you sad?" and eventually got on the train to Namwon and hurried his steps toward his parents.

Meanwhile, her mother, who was organizing her hometown house, shed tears as she looked at Lee Min-woo's childhood photos. My mother said, "Looking at Minwoo's picture reminds me of the old days. We were young at this time," he said, recalling the years that passed, and expressed his sadness and upset that he seemed to be a burden on his son in a changed environment.

Later, at a meeting again in Namwon, Lee Min-woo expressed his upset feelings, saying, "Do you know how worried he was all day?" In response, the father replied, "If we had said we would go down to Namwon in advance, would you have told us to go down?"

Lee Min-woo and his parents then shared the practical hardships they felt while living together. Although they felt the same way for each other, their opinions were mixed and their voices increased, eventually leading to a debate over the separation.

As for the reason for opposing the separation, Lee Min-woo expressed his affectionate child's feelings, saying, "There is not much time left (to be together) because you have a lot of years," and "I want to show my parents how happy my family is." In a situation where the gap between parents and sons is not easily narrowed, attention is being paid to whether Lee Min-woo's family can share each other's sincerity and reach reconciliation.

This "Salimnam" left viewers with a strong empathy and lingering feeling through the filial piety of Park Seo-jin, who can't sleep in front of his family's health, and the story of Lee Min-woo's family, who eventually showed that their love for each other is the essence of conflict amid generational differences.

Meanwhile, "Salimnam" will air every Saturday at 10:35 p.m., and the broadcast time will be changed to 9:20 p.m. every Saturday from the 28th.
