Singer Kim Jong-koo reveals his state of being immersed in the sweet dream of newlywed life.

In the final episode of SBS Plus's variety program 'How Real Men Travel in Kyushu' airing on the afternoon of the 12th, Kim Jong-koo displays the side of a loving husband nine months into his marriage, instead of the 'real man' image he has shown so far.

On the last day of the trip to Japan, Kim Jong-koo quietly moves to the merchandise corner at a place where he briefly went to have coffee while waiting. This is to choose a gift to give to his wife, who was away for a moment. With Kim Jong-koo being extremely cautious and seeking help from his senior married actor Choo Sung-hoon, curiosity rises as to what the 'thrifty Jong-koo's' storm shopping list for his wife will be.

While walking down the streets of Tenmonkan, Kagoshima's largest shopping district in Japan, Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Jong-koo are moved to tears upon seeing Jennie on a large billboard. Especially since Choo Sung-hoon recently met Jennie on YouTube, he flashes a wide, gums-showing smile and says, "Let's take a picture with our Jennie," leaving a commemorative photo with Jennie on the large billboard. Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Jong-koo, happy to meet the second Korean person they encountered in Japan, express their special admiration for the power of global star Jennie with remarks like, "Doesn't this make you happy?" and "I feel proud," eliciting laughter.

Furthermore, with the trip nearing its end, upon witnessing Choo Sung-hoon's special act of thinking of his younger brother, Kim Jong-koo and Daesung unleash their cuteness, saying things like, "(He's so sweet) my teeth will rot," and "I'm envious of the love champion; I wish my dad was Choo Sung-hoon." With reactions from the two reaching their peak, such as "My role model is Choo Sung-hoon," curiosity grows as to what specific action of Choo Sung-hoon triggered their cuteness and what the story is behind Choo Sung-hoon suddenly becoming a 'cuteness inducer.'

The production team stated, "The final episode of Season 1 will be released on the 12th. Please stay tuned to see how the unpredictable Japan trip of the real men, including Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-koo, and Daesung, will conclude."

The final episode of 'How Real Men Travel in Kyushu' Season 1 will air at 8:40 p.m. on the 12th.
