Comedians Kim Jeong-ryeol and Hwang Ki-soon opened up about their profound family stories.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, the the 8th episode of MBN's "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," Episode 37, featuring guests Kim Jeong-ryeol and Hwang Ki-soon, achieved a national peak viewership rating of 2.6%.

On that day, Kim Jeong-ryeol shared his pain over the sudden death of his older brother while serving in the military during high school. Through an investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding his brother's death, it was revealed that he died from beatings within the military, contrary to what the army had initially claimed.

Regarding the mystery surrounding his brother's death for over 30 years, the perpetrator made a conscience-driven confession and offered an apology, allowing his brother's honor to be restored belatedly. However, because his brother's remains could not be found, his mother lived for many years with her eldest son's death buried in her heart, adding to the sorrow.

In contrast, Kim Jeong-ryeol turned the mood with a surprising and humorous story about his first car and his mother. After achieving success, when Kim Jeong-ryeol bought his first car and returned home, his mother, who was happier than anyone else, insisted on cleaning the new car for her son using an "iron scouring pad," scrubbing it vigorously. The love of Kim Jeong-ryeol's mother, who removed the protective film from the car, filled the scene with warm laughter.

Hwang Ki-soon brought a solemn atmosphere to the program by reflecting on precious moments spent with his mother after experiencing rock bottom in life due to overseas gambling and illegal stay in the Philippines. Thanks to Kim Jeong-ryeol, Hwang Ki-soon escaped from a miserable life of illegal residence in the Philippines and returned to Korea. Upon meeting his mother first alongside Kim Jeong-ryeol, his mother bowed deeply to him, saying, "Thank you for coming back alive." Later, Hwang Ki-soon shared that he was overwhelmed with emotion after recalling how happy it was to talk and make his mother laugh every day.

Finally, Hwang Ki-soon expressed deep affection regarding his current family—his wife and son from a remarriage—saying, "I have received far too great a reward." He added, "I hope my family stays healthy and together for a long time. I will work hard on whatever tasks are given to me by those around me," emphasizing that family remains central to his future goals.

Kim Jeong-ryeol, who is divorced, responded to a question about his goals by saying, "I hope to meet a good partner," then cleverly added, "My daughter," eliciting laughter in the distinctive Kim Jeong-ryeol style.
