Comedian Song Jun-geun revealed the painful family history of losing his older brother at a young age.

The episode of KBS 2TV's "Malja Show," broadcast on the 2nd, was themed as "Husbands Have Something to Say Too," the first installment of a special series on husbands. Guests Kim Won-hyo, a comedian from KBS's 22nd cohort, and Song Jun-geun appeared to share the inner thoughts of husbands and fathers.

On this episode, a story was shared asking for support for a father who had dedicated over 30 years to his family as he reached retirement age. "Malja Halmae" (Grandma Malja) Kim Young-hee said, "Working steadily in one place is truly remarkable. People say that those who retire often feel extremely empty afterward. From that point on, the care of family members becomes important," and encouraged the daughter, who was the subject of the story, to directly convey words of encouragement herself. The daughter said, "Having worked in society myself, I realized how difficult it is to work," adding, "I want to say thank you. Thank you for your hard work, Dad," delivering heartfelt support that moved the audience.

Song Jun-geun expressed envy, asking, "Will my daughter ever say something like that to me?" while also confessing a moment when he was grateful to his daughter. He said, "My daughter came to watch 'Gag Concert' and posted a video she took online. In response to a comment saying 'Song Jun-geun is funny,' she wrote, 'Thank you for loving my dad.' Seeing that made me burst into tears," adding, "If my daughter doesn't express her feelings, I must become the father who expresses them first."

Song Jun-geun then shared another heartbreaking story that made him cherish his family even more. He stated, "When I was seven years old, my older brother, who was three years older than me, passed away during a family trip," and added, "Watching my mother suffer while carrying such a deep wound from close by made me think more about my family," evoking sympathy.

The episode also featured the dilemma of a son-in-law who did not know how to mediate when his wife and mother-in-law frequently argued. Kim Won-hyo suggested trying to resolve it with humor. He said, "When your wife and mother-in-law are about to fight, take out the yellow card and red card you have kept in your pocket beforehand," eliciting laughter.

Kim Won-hyo also revealed that he calls his mother-in-law by the nickname "Suk-i" (Mugwort), stating, "Early in our marriage, my mother-in-law accidentally saw me naked," adding, "This incident turned us into close friends who are not quite close friends," bringing laughter to the audience.

Meanwhile, "Malja Show" airs every Monday at 9:30 p.m.
