"Salimnam" features singer Park Seo-jin confronting a long-unknown health issue of his father.

"Men Who Cook Season 2" (hereinafter "Salimnam"), airing on the night of the 11th on KBS 2TV, depicts Park Seo-jin learning late about his father's hearing abnormalities, with the entire family facing an unexpected reality.

"On this day, after visiting his home in Samcheongpo, Park Seo-jin pressed the doorbell multiple times and made phone calls, but received no response from his father, leaving him overwhelmed with anxiety. Recalling a past incident where his father had collapsed while alone, Park Seo-jin hurriedly entered the house. Fortunately, he found his father, but during the subsequent conversation, he detected unusual warning signs.

"Ultimately, Park Seo-jin realized that the seemingly casual, mismatched conversations he and his father had been having were actually due to hearing loss. Consequently, Park Seo-jin took his father to a hospital with his family. However, his father refused medical treatment, saying, "Let's go home. Turn the car around!" and even when urged to wear a hearing aid, he dismissed it by saying, "I'm still young," making it difficult for him to open up.

"The family members who visited the hospital were shocked after being told by a specialist that ignoring hearing loss could increase the risk of developing dementia by up to five times. Following this, his father finally revealed his long-hidden ear health condition to the family and even confessed the true reason for recently giving up the boat he had shared with them all his life, leaving everyone deeply moved. There is great interest in what the results of Park Seo-jin's father's hearing test will be.

"Later, Park Seo-jin visits a sea filled with memories with just his father. Park Seo-jin reassures his father, saying, "It is not something to be ashamed of if your hearing has worsened," and his father, in turn, opens up about the sincere feelings he could not convey until now. The two then sing together, conveying a touching aftertaste.

"The heartfelt conversation between Park Seo-jin and his father can be seen on "Salimnam," airing at 10:35 p.m. on the night of the 11th."
