Park Seo-jin blew up at his parents' marital argument.

The episode of KBS 2TV's 'Househusband' aired on the 2nd, featuring stories of siblings Park Seo-jin and his sister Hyo-jeong stepping in to reconcile their parents, along with various other daily interactions between parents and children. The broadcast recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 4.7% according to Nielsen Korea, while the segment showing Park Seo-jin's parents appearing in dance sport costumes reached a peak viewership of 6.1%.

In that day's broadcast, the Park Seo-jin siblings prepared a surprise event for Parents' Day at their home in Incheon. As soon as their parents appeared, Park Seo-jin and his younger sister Hyo-jeong sang the song 'Mother's Grace' and presented carnations, but the parents, who were in a cold war due to a marital argument, responded lukewarmly. Park Seo-jin's father expressed his disappointment, saying, "I asked you to prepare a meal, and you said what?" while the mother replied, "It's only been a week since my surgery, and you're asking me to prepare a meal?"

As the parents' argument escalated, Park Seo-jin's mother said, "Talk to me gently like a Seoul man," to which Park Seo-jin's father retorted, "Other women know how to cater to their husbands' moods, but you're so blunt." When the mother coldly replied, "Then why did you marry someone like me if you're looking for a gentle woman?" the offended father finally stormed out of the room. Park Seo-jin said, "If that's the case, you might as well divorce. Mom can find someone like a Seoul man, and Dad can find a woman who smiles well."

The Park Seo-jin siblings embarked on a project to improve their parents' relationship. For his father, who said he prefers a woman who smiles well, Park Seo-jin visited Oh Haeng-ja (Prof.), a master of laughter therapy. The laughter training session officially began, and the mother, father, Park Seo-jin, and Hyo-jeong sat facing each other and shared their innermost thoughts. The mother revealed her suppressed disappointment toward her husband, saying, "When I'm in pain and don't want to do housework, it's so disappointing when someone tells me to do something. I just want to hear one word of 'good job,' but I can't express it."

Earlier, the 'Tribunal Octopus Incident,' which had further upset the mother who suffered from holiday syndrome, came up as a topic again. Recalling that moment, the mother eventually shed tears. In response, Oh Haeng-ja (Prof.) proposed a role-play to ease the tense atmosphere, and the father said to his mother with a smiling face, "I bought everything except the octopus. Don't forget it next time." The mother, suppressing her emotional outburst, replied, "I won't make mistakes anymore, so don't worry," but after the father added a few words of nagging, she finally exploded.

Although the laughter therapy was completed, the long-simmering conflict between the parents remained, and the Park Seo-jin family moved on to the next segment together. For his mother, whose ideal type is the kind and affectionate 'Seoul man,' Park Seo-jin introduced Park Ji-woo, the top figure in the domestic dance sport scene. Upon meeting Park Ji-woo, who possesses a gentle charm, Park Seo-jin's mother was at a loss, blushing and acting shy like a young girl.

Before the formal training began, Park Seo-jin's parents transformed into glamorous outfits. Additionally, the Park Seo-jin siblings demonstrated a flawless performance stage for their parents with skilled dexterity, but just like in the previous session, they presented a 'slap ending (?),' turning the scene into chaos. Afterward, as Park Ji-woo approached the mother to teach her the dance, Park Seo-jin's mother, with a flushed face and trembling hands, provoked her husband's jealousy.

As everyone fell into the rumba to Park Ji-woo's lead, Park Seo-jin's father suddenly said, "Come here. Let's dance together," and grabbed his wife's wrist. Park Seo-jin's mother, seeing her heart melt, remarked, "When he pulled me, he was so manly and cool. That's our husband's way of expressing himself," and their marital relationship was restored.

Also, in that day's broadcast, Hwanhee's attempt to reconcile with his mother once again was revealed. Hwanhee went to a photo studio to take a picture of his mother's passport photo and then took a couple's photo. While Hwanhee briefly stepped away after taking the couple's photo, his mother timidly asked the photographer, "By any chance, can you take a memorial portrait?" Hwanhee's mother requested a memorial portrait, saying, "My mother passed away recently. Seeing her memorial portrait replaced with a proof photo made my heart ache." When Hwanhee returned, he was surprised to see his mother suddenly having a memorial portrait taken and burst into tears. Hwanhee's mother, seeing her grown son cry for the first time, collapsed and cried with him, filling the living room with tears.

Meanwhile, 'Househusband' airs every Saturday at 9:20 p.m.
