Singer Park Seo-jin, who has never been in a relationship for 32 years, went on his first blind date.

According to ratings survey company Nielsen Korea on the 30th, KBS 2TV's "Living Men" (hereinafter "Living Man"), which aired on the 29th, recorded a national viewership rating of 4.3%. Junseo of Alpha Drive One appeared as a special guest alongside Park Seo-jin. Notably, the scene where Hwang Hye-seon smiled while watching Park Seo-jin discover a hole in his socks and fix it reached a peak viewership of 5.8%.

In the opening segment of the day, a birthday celebration for Park Seo-jin, who is celebrating his third birthday on "Living Man," took place. Park Seo-jin shared that he has been trying things he had never done before while filming the show, adding, "Recently, I also tried 'National Middle School Park Makeup Play' and made it to the finals." He announced with pride that he was selected among 50 teams out of 275.

Junseo of Alpha Drive One, appearing as a special guest, revealed behind-the-scenes details about his younger sibling who is currently studying at Seoul National University. He said, "My sibling wasn't initially good at studying, but the student teacher was incredibly beautiful. She said she would treat us to a meal if we scored over 90 points, and we got an all-90s score. I'm grateful to the teacher," surprising the cast. In response, Lee Yo-won joked that her children have no interest in studying, saying, "They just do it. To survive," eliciting laughter from everyone.

In the following VCR, Park Seo-jin was shown going on his first blind date arranged by comedian Kim Young-hee. His partner was comedian Hwang Hye-seon, whom Park had previously identified as his ideal type while drawing a caricature of her at the KBS Comedy Hall. Unlike usual, Hwang Hye-seon appeared fully dressed up, causing Park Seo-jin to shy away and avoid making eye contact. He showed an active side by personally serving drinks and cake to Hwang Hye-seon.

Hwang Hye-seon also expressed her interest in Park Seo-jin. She stated, "After meeting him back then, I searched for him online. Seeing how he works was completely 180 degrees different from what I expected. I was surprised." She added, "I like people who are good at their main job." When asked about her ideal type—someone affectionate, attentive, and manly—Park Seo-jin inadvertently mentioned his participation in a full marathon, which was not part of his plans, actively showcasing his masculinity.

Lee Yo-won, who watched the blind date, revealed that she also has no experience with blind dates and surprisingly disclosed her first meeting with her husband. She said, "Someone told me to call them if there was a certain event, so I met my husband that way," adding that she connected with him through an introduction by actress Jo Yeo-jeong, drawing attention.

Park Seo-jin and Hwang Hye-seon grew closer at a bowling alley. The two, who began speaking freely, naturally held hands while playing bowling, engaging in bold physical contact such as holding hands while listening to "Haifa Eve," which stirred up the surrounding area. In particular, when Hwang Hye-seon cheered, saying, "Oppa, fighting!" Park Seo-jin couldn't hide his smiling lips and soon displayed his hidden bowling skills.

After bowling, an unexpected development followed. Due to dinner being delayed while playing bowling, Hwang Hye-seon invited him over, asking, "Would you like to come to my house?" Kim Young-hee and Hyojeong of the 'Seojin Support Group' left the scene to give the two some private time. For the first time visiting a woman's home, Park Seo-jin was extremely nervous and didn't know what to do. Left alone together, Park Seo-jin and Hwang Hye-seon grew closer while making stir-fried pork belly. Later, Hyojeong entered the house and remarked, "It felt like I was attending a housewarming party for a newlywed couple," as the studio also received a warm reaction to the couple's 'newlywed chemistry.'

It was also revealed that Hwang Hye-seon still keeps the caricature Park Seo-jin drew for her during their first meeting. Park Seo-jin said, "I thought she had thrown it away, so I was touched that she kept it." The two exchanged contact information they hadn't been able to share at the time and concluded their blind date. Although Park Seo-jin later admitted he hasn't contacted Hwang Hye-seon yet, he added, "I'll try reaching out," raising expectations.

Meanwhile, the daily life of Eunka-eun and her husband Park Hyun-ho visiting his parents' home was also depicted. While balancing work and childcare, the mother-in-law, who had been closely observing her daughter-in-law neglecting to dress herself up, decided to give special coaching to her son on Eunka-eun's birthday. The mother-in-law expressed her unique love for her daughter-in-law by telling Park Hyun-ho to buy her pretty clothes using her own card. Watching this, Lee Yo-won also revealed, "My mother-in-law sends me allowance every birthday."

Park Hyun-ho received his mother's card and went shopping with Eunka-eun, but she repeatedly declined the gifts. In response, Lee Yo-won offered cheerful advice: "It's good to buy when your husband says he'll treat you. They don't keep saying they'll buy things." When asked about a gift she wanted, Lee Yo-won mentioned a car and briefly revealed her dream car only to Eun Ji-won. Hearing this, Eun Ji-won joked, "He still lives well without being kicked out even with that," eliciting laughter.

Meanwhile, Eun Ji-won, who watched the couple's shopping trip, also shared details about his marriage to a stylist wife nine years his junior. He teased, "I haven't bought clothes for quite some time. My wife buys everything I need and dresses me. I just come out wearing underwear," drawing laughter from the audience.

During the subsequent shopping trip, Park Hyun-ho expressed affection by telling Eunka-eun, "You're prettier than Song Hye-kyo," and repeatedly exclaimed in admiration every time she came out in new clothes, showing off his possessive side. However, the atmosphere turned when their opinions clashed over prices. While Park Hyun-ho wanted to give a good gift for his wife's birthday, Eunka-eun found expensive clothes burdensome. As neither side yielded, an unexpected marital argument ensued.

Eunka-eun, who stubbornly refused her own clothes, changed her attitude completely upon discovering her daughter Seo-won's clothes. She happily picked out various items for her daughter without even looking at the price tags. Seeing this, Park Hyun-ho couldn't hide his disappointment once again. He candidly shared, "I wanted to dress up my beloved wife, but she kept saying no. Yet when buying Seo-won's clothes, she smiled brightly without even checking the price tag. I felt sad that all her focus had shifted to Seo-won."

Junseo, watching this, brought up his own family story, noting that his mother was similar. He said, "I wanted to buy my mom a bag, so we went to a department store together, but she kept saying nothing caught her eye until we only bought a simple pair of sneakers." He empathized, "That must be how mothers feel." However, while agreeing with the sentiment about mothers' hearts, Lee Yo-won turned to the camera and appealed to her children, saying, "I'll take it," which brought laughter.

After finishing shopping and returning to his parents' home, Eunka-eun was greeted by a birthday meal prepared directly by her mother-in-law. She was later touched to learn that the card Park Hyun-ho had given her was actually from his mother.

On her first birthday after giving birth to a daughter, Eunka-eun expressed gratitude: "In the past, I had no money and was too busy to celebrate my birthday, so I always felt lonely and empty. Since meeting Hyun-ho and his mother, birthdays have become abundant and lavish. Thanks to his mother, I always get to celebrate wonderful birthdays." She added affectionately, "There is no one who thinks of me except my mother. I love you," further enhancing the warm atmosphere.
