Actor Lee Hyo-jung shares news of opening a rib house as a 60th birthday gift for his wife.

In the TV CHOSUN program "Perfect Life" airing on the 27th afternoon, Lee Hyo-jung and his wife appear to reveal a new challenge for the second chapter of their lives.

Lee Hyo-jung, father of actor Lee Yu-jin and known as "Ilsan Lee Yeon-bok," announces on that day's broadcast that he has opened a rib house for his wife. The restaurant's exterior features a photo of Lee Hyo-jung along with the phrase "We will do our best, Big Servant Lee Hyo-jung," drawing attention.

Explaining why he decided to open the restaurant, Lee Hyo-jung says, "The children are all grown up, and my wife turned 60 last year. (And) I have wanted to treat people to delicious food for a long time."

He is shown personally placing charcoal briquettes at guests' tables, serving them, and grilling the meat. Watching this, MC Oh Ji-ho remarks, "The chairman is grilling the meat," referencing Lee Hyo-jung's current role as Ma Dae-chang in the drama "First Man."

When panelist Shin Seung-hwan asks, "Aren't you too busy with both drama filming and restaurant work?" Lee Hyo-jung replies, "It's busy because I'm taking on something I've never done before, but it's fun." He adds, "Before, the only way to know viewers' reactions was by watching the monitor myself, but since opening the restaurant, they tell me about (drama) storylines right away," explaining the advantage.

Lee Hyo-jung also shares scenes of engaging in secondhand trading and tending to his vegetable garden.

When panelist Lee Sung-mi says, "You have your own photo displayed prominently in the restaurant, and it seems like your wife does all the restaurant work," Lee Hyo-jung clarifies, "The work I do is that of a servant. Running a restaurant is a long-term endeavor, so it's necessary for my wife to adapt quickly. That's why I try not to intrude on her space as much as possible."

He draws attention by personally getting involved in developing new menu items. Lee Hyo-jung says, "Jo Ri (Head) and I are developing a new menu," revealing his unique enthusiasm, but Jo Ri (Head) reveals her true feelings, saying, "(Lee Hyo-jung) usually avoids entering the kitchen," bringing laughter. Additionally, the manager confesses, "He likes cooking and comes into the kitchen, which tires out the staff." The program airs at 8 p.m. on the 27th.
