Singer Eum Ga-eun and her husband Park Hyun-ho have addressed all rumors, starting with divorce allegations, followed by claims that he is a chaebol heir and that they are merely a "showcase couple."

On the episode of KBS 2TV's 'Salimnam' aired on the 25th, new Salimnam Park Hyun-ho and special guest fromis_9's Chae-young appeared in the studio, where the first day-in-the-life footage of Eum Ga-eun and Park Hyun-ho was revealed.

On this day, the first daily routine of "Trot's First Couple," Eum Ga-eun and Park Hyun-ho, who joined as new 'Salimnam' family members, was unveiled. The two met through KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend' in 2024 and are a couple with a five-year age gap. They married last year and welcomed their daughter Seo-won in February this year.

However, behind their happy newlywed life lay wounds caused by various baseless rumors. The couple revealed they were tormented by rumors such as "they will divorce within two years of marriage," "Park Hyun-ho is a chaebol heir," and "they are just a showcase couple." Park Hyun-ho confessed his hidden feelings, saying, "I wondered if it was because of me. I thought maybe the rumors arose because I am less famous than Ga-eun."

At that moment, Park Seo-jin unexpectedly asked Park Hyun-ho, "Are you really from a land-rich family?" lightening the mood. Lee Yo-won also shared her own experience, saying, "Not everything reported in the media is true. I still don't know where my chaebol second-generation husband is. Will we meet again in the next life?" eliciting both laughter and empathy.

After openly sharing their feelings about the rumors, the couple proceeded to reveal their actual newlywed daily lives, directly addressing misunderstandings surrounding them. On this day, while his wife was away for a live radio broadcast schedule, Park Hyun-ho skillfully cared for their five-month-old daughter Seo-won alone. Watching this, Lee Yo-won, a mother of three children, exclaimed, "He really takes good care of the baby. He ranks in my top three among all the fathers I've seen." Later, Park Hyun-ho surprised everyone by visiting his wife's live radio broadcast site to help out unexpectedly.

Meanwhile, the difficult circumstances of working mom Eum Ga-eun were also revealed. Returning to radio just six weeks after childbirth, Eum Ga-eun admitted, "I was afraid my position would be taken away and that they wouldn't call me back." In fact, she revealed she had appeared on stage at events only two weeks after giving birth, surprising everyone. Hearing this, Lee Yo-won recalled her own postpartum experience, saying, "It took a year to recover when I had my first child. My knees were also in bad shape, and I suffered from depression mentally," deeply empathizing with Eum Ga-eun's struggles.

After finishing her schedule, Eum Ga-eun ultimately revealed the accumulated fatigue she was experiencing. She confessed, "These days, there isn't a part of my body that doesn't hurt. Since I returned to work without properly recovering after giving birth, the aftermath has begun to hit. My ankles and pelvis are all painful, and it feels as if every bone joint has been struck."

To care for his wife, Park Hyun-ho decided to make samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) himself. When citizens at the market recognized him while shopping together, Park Hyun-ho said, "When I was dating Ga-eun, I almost only dated at home because I was worried it would interfere with her activities. Today, being out with Seo-won and Ga-eun and having people recognize us makes me truly happy." He also naturally paid using his wife's card, saying, "Eighty percent of the time, I use Ga-eun's card. Even when I pay with my own card, she covers the bill," using highly respectful language to bring laughter. He added, "Since we're spending money that Ga-eun earns, I try to spend as rationally as possible," drawing attention.

On the other hand, Eum Ga-eun, whose physical condition was not good, grew increasingly tired as the shopping trip lengthened, eventually snapping at Park Hyun-ho at the market's hanbok section. She said, "I'm usually someone without emotional ups and downs, but since returning home after childbirth, I've become more tearful. Suddenly, there are moments when I get overwhelmed." Tears welled in her eyes as she added, "My husband pays a lot of attention and tries hard, but it seems my hormones haven't stabilized yet."

After returning home, Park Hyun-ho's other hidden feelings were also revealed. Unlike Eum Ga-eun, who returned to work without proper rest after childbirth, Park Hyun-ho saw that his own schedule was mostly empty. He expressed regret, saying, "If I had been active a lot, I would have confidently told her to 'rest more,' but instead, I found myself in a position where I could only encourage her." He also honestly admitted, "When I see friends who are active, I feel envious. I even think, 'I can do well too, so why isn't an opportunity coming my way?'" Eum Ga-eun responded, "Seeing my husband try so hard makes my heart ache and feel guilty."

Later, as Eum Ga-eun ate the samgyetang made by Park Hyun-ho, she suddenly burst into tears. She recalled the past, saying, "We lived so hard that there were days when nothing seemed possible at Navy Headquarters. Did I ever think such a day would come?" Park Hyun-ho comforted his wife, attributing their current happiness to her efforts. He then vowed, "I also want to work harder and establish our own home. I will become a true Salimnam who is truly supportive."

In particular, Park Hyun-ho shared a special meaning, saying, "When I received the filming proposal for 'Salimnam,' I hugged Ga-eun and cried together. It was like a lifeline sent from heaven." He added, "I want to take this opportunity and do well, showing everyone what it means to be a cool dad," reaffirming his resolve as the new Salimnam.

'Salimnam' airs every Saturday at 10:35 PM.
