Comedian Kim Hak-rae brought laughter to the occasion with a mischievous congratulatory speech at Lee Yong-sik's granddaughter's first birthday party. Lee Yong-sik moved the audience by delivering a heartfelt letter to his daughter Lee Soo-min and her husband Won Hyuk.

On the 15th episode of the TV Chosun variety program "The Matchmaker of Joseon," Lee Yong-sik and his entire family appeared at a local event venue, including his granddaughter Lee El, born last year. Recently, Lee Yong-sik, who has been busy with childcare and successfully lost over 20kg, joked, "When it comes to childcare, there's no yo-yo effect. The weight just melts away."

Lee Yong-sik then proved he is a true "grandfather of childcare" by knowing his granddaughter's sleep schedule and formula intake. His candid confession about his love for his daughter and his regret over not spending time with her during her childhood also moved the audience.

The first birthday party for his granddaughter was also held. The event was attended by a lavish lineup of guests, from comedian seniors and juniors to singers. In particular, broadcaster Park Soo-hong served as the master of ceremonies. Upon seeing a list of 12 congratulatory songs, Park Soo-hong exclaimed, "This is a Lisa concert!" in shock.

Actor Sunwoo Yong-yeo, who attended as a guest, offered a fiery blessing: "Send your daughter and son-in-law on a trip and have a second child." Lee Yong-sik retorted, "Sunwoo Yong-yeo will take care of the second child," sparking laughter.

Kim Hak-rae, president of the Comedians Association, said, "I'm not at ease. Seeing my son Dong-young and you eating and living so well hurts my heart," delivering a mischievous congratulatory message to Lee Soo-min that turned the venue into a sea of laughter. Lee Yong-sik immediately stood up and retorted, "Take the microphone away!" Earlier, Lee Soo-min and Kim Hak-rae's son Kim Dong-young appeared together on the JTBC variety program "Can't Be Number One" in early 2021, creating a pink atmosphere.

During the first birthday ritual, when granddaughter Lee El picked up a "building" instead of the microphone, which was the wish of the entire family, Lee Yong-sik looked out the window at the buildings with a pleased expression. Park Soo-hong added to the laughter with a joke: "The maternal grandfather is choosing a building."

Finally, Lee Yong-sik read a secretly prepared letter. He told his daughter Lee Soo-min, "The reason I opposed your marriage to Won Hyuk was nothing other than that I was briefly crazy. When I came to my senses, I thought, 'What if you hadn't married Won Hyuk? Just thinking about it is terrifying,' apologizing for his extreme opposition and refusal to meet the prospective son-in-law before the wedding."

He then said to his son-in-law Won Hyuk, "Won Hyuk, I have seen and felt how much you love Soo-min while living together. I am truly grateful." He also expressed his wish to live healthily until he can see his great-granddaughter, bringing a touching emotion to the audience.

Meanwhile, the broadcast also showed comedian Han Yoon-seo returning to her hometown of Cheongdo to reunite with her parents ahead of her wedding.

Facing her mother's lavish feast, Han Yoon-seo honestly asked, "Mom raised me with such love. Did you feel sad watching the video?" Her mother replied, "As a mother, I am worried. As the saying goes, 'The great Moon Jun-woong,' no matter what, a mother-in-law is still a son. I have saved (Yoon-seo) as 'my most precious daughter in the world.'" This brought a touching emotion to the audience.

Han Yoon-seo said, "I feel every day how much my mother loved and raised me. My heart surges with emotion every day," reddening her eyes.

Even when her mother placed delicious and good side dishes in front of her daughter and only took the leftovers in an instant rice container, Han Yoon-seo said, "You don't even give me an allowance, so why do I look so miserable? I feel upset with my older brother because of you, Mom. It's all because of you," complaining with a mix of apology. Eventually, even the MCs watching via VCR in the studio shed tears of empathy.

Next, the dowry items sent by Han Yoon-seo's mother, which filled the entire room, were revealed. Han Yoon-seo's mother sobbed, "If I received an allowance, I would buy one dowry set. I saved for 10 years, and the balcony was completely full. Seeing the room empty after sending the dowry made my heart feel so empty."

In response, Han Yoon-seo made an unexpected declaration: "If you keep crying, I won't invite you to the wedding. I'm staying here," immediately stopping her mother's tears and sparking laughter. However, on the day of the formal meeting between the families, her mother suddenly bowed her head with a dark expression, raising curiosity about future developments.
