'Groom Class 2' Kim Sang-hyeok moved forward with a blind date with Kim Ra-hee, a show host and former Miss Korea.

In the the 4th broadcast of Channel A's variety program 'Groom Class 2', Kim Sang-hyeok was shown going on a blind date with show host Kim Ra-hee, using his earlier mistake during his first blind date as a stepping stone. Meanwhile, couple Park So-young and Moon Kyung-chan invited both sets of mothers to their home ten days before the expected delivery for a 'parenting rehearsal'. They also vividly shared details about the birth process of Mary (the baby's prenatal name) and showed footage of her just after birth.

Earlier, Kim Sang-hyeok had failed during the post-date follow-up due to a verbal slip-up in his first blind date. On this day, he set out for a 'train blind date' with renewed determination. With Song Hae-na, known as 'Yeon Ae (Director)', arranging the meeting in a 'self-confident' style, Kim Sang-hyeok chose a travel destination and decided to go on a one-day train trip.

Boarding the Mugunghwa train, Kim Sang-hyeok waited with a racing heart for his date. Shortly after, Kim Ra-hee, a show host and former Miss Korea Jeju Jin, appeared. Kim Sang-hyeok said, "From the moment I saw her, I thought she was beautiful yet like a young girl, which made me happy," unable to hide his smile. Amid the sweet atmosphere, the two engaged in MBTI talks and discovered shared interests in 'nephews/nieces' and 'exercise', building rapport.

As the train arrived at its destination, Yuseon Station, the pair prepared to disembark. At that moment, Kim Sang-hyeok quickly grabbed Kim Ra-hee's hand when she stumbled slightly while trying to maintain her balance. Having successfully made a quick connection, Kim Sang-hyeek led her in a rental car to a pre-selected crab restaurant. Although he had worried about the 'Studio Mentor Group' choosing 'crab' as the first meal menu, Kim Sang-hyeok stated his conviction: "It's a local specialty, and I believe taste is important, so I went ahead with the crab menu."

Fortunately, Kim Ra-hee enjoyed the 'ge-guk-ji' (crab soup) deliciously, and afterward, the two discussed their views on love. At that point, Kim Sang-hyeok cautiously asked, "Is it okay that I'm a divorced man?" Kim Ra-hee replied, "I knew that coming in. That's fine," making Kim Sang-hyeok smile. Later, in a heart-to-heart interview, Kim Sang-hyeok revealed his growing affection: "As long as Ra-hee is okay with it, I want to see her more."

Amid the warm and cheerful atmosphere, the two went for a drive on a tractor train. As the train kept shaking, causing their shoulders to bump into each other, the excitement level soared vertically. Kim Sang-hyeok carefully secured Kim Ra-hee's bag and adjusted the direction of the fan breeze, showing thoughtful manners. He also bent over in various spots along the route to take photos of Kim Ra-hee, displaying his considerate side.

Finally, the two watched the sunset in front of a sea glowing with twilight hues. At that moment, Kim Ra-hee asked, "What was the best part of today?" Kim Sang-hyeok cleverly replied, "Right now!" painting the surroundings in pink. After the date ended, the 'Studio Mentor Group' showered praise on Kim Sang-hyeok for his improved and evolved behavior. Kim Sang-hyeok responded with self-aware humor: "Even I am human," bringing laughter to everyone.

Next, footage was released of couple Park So-young and Moon Kyung-chan inviting both sets of mothers ten days before the due date for a 'parenting rehearsal'. On that day, Park So-young's mother-in-law brought a congratulatory wreath with the message "Our hardworking So-young deserves to rest" along with a gift of postpartum seaweed soup.

Park So-young's own mother also packed an abundance of side dishes favored by her son-in-law Moon Kyung-chan, adding warmth to the occasion. Both sets of mothers joked about their future grandchildren Mary (prenatal name), saying things like "I hope she takes after her mother-in-law's personality" and "She should take after her father-in-law's personality," playfully teasing their own children. In the cheerful atmosphere, Moon Kyung-chan's mother gave her son a special 'nourishing seaweed soup' recipe along with the instruction: "From now on, you are solely responsible for making the seaweed soup." Park So-young smiled happily after tasting the seaweed soup her husband had made for the first time after his 'Spartan training'.

Towards the end of the meal, Park So-young cautiously asked both sets of mothers: "If we both return to work after childbirth, would you be able to help with childcare?" Suddenly, an awkward silence fell, flustering couple Park So-young and Moon Kyung-chan. Park So-young's mother insisted, "My son-in-law would feel uncomfortable if I come," while Moon Kyung-chan's mother argued, "The biological mother should come to care for her daughter." Both mothers desperately tried to pass the childcare responsibility onto each other. However, in their heart-to-heart interviews, both sets of mothers warmly admitted: "Actually, we will likely end up taking care of (the grandchild)."

Next, all four practiced real-life parenting using newborn dolls. As they changed diapers and gave baths to the dolls, both sets of mothers expressed their excitement about waiting for their first grandchild. Then, Moon Kyung-chan suddenly stood up and presented his mothers with 'grandmother appointment certificates'. The mothers were surprised by the cash gifts inside the certificates and burst into tears while clapping with seal-like applause.

After the heartwarming parenting rehearsal concluded, a few days later, couple Park So-young and Moon Kyung-chan announced: "Since there was no news even after the due date passed, we decided to induce labor," and shared video footage from the day of childbirth. After prolonged labor pains, Park So-young safely delivered Mary. Moon Kyung-chan held Mary in his arms and shed emotional tears. Amid medical staff's reaction of "She looks like her dad!", Mary blinked her eyes immediately after birth. Seeing this, Moon Kyung-chan vowed: "I need to quickly upgrade my phone to one with more storage space; I must earn a lot of money," bringing warm smiles to everyone.
