On this day’s broadcast, the couple Yang Hyun-min ♥ Choi Cham-rang drew attention by confessing their infertility. They shared that they had attempted IVF five times over the past two years but had not succeeded in getting pregnant, which brought sadness to everyone. Choi Cham-rang cautiously expressed to Yang Hyun-min, "You say you're okay, but I think I want to try IVF again. Wouldn't it be better to try again before it's too late?" Yang Hyun-min responded, "We agreed not to continue with IVF after telling our parents," and expressed, "I don't like seeing you struggle."
However, Choi Cham-rang said, "I thought it would be difficult to challenge again, so I took a break. But now, I feel like it would be good to try once more," revealing her determination to get pregnant. In a subsequent interview, Choi Cham-rang tearfully shared, "(The failures in IVF) have made my emotional ups and downs severe. It felt like I was a failure since I couldn't get pregnant, which I had taken for granted."
Yang Hyun-min, who was watching, said, "When my wife gets injections for IVF, her stomach is covered in bruises, and she gains a lot of weight due to hormonal changes. If I could carry the baby instead, I would have done it long ago," adding, "Since there’s no other way, we have no choice but to wait. I thought about what I could do, so I decided to quit smoking and drinking all at once. Yet, we still couldn't conceive," conveying the couple's emotional struggles.
The couple decided to try IVF again after a year and a half with renewed determination. They went to the hospital where the couple Jang Soo-won had successfully conceived after their ninth IVF attempt, and the most important factor was that Choi Cham-rang's ovarian age was 35. The doctor reassured them, saying, "You are younger than your age, so it's okay," and the studio MCs also encouraged them.
Meanwhile, close friends of the couple, film director Lee Byung-hun, actor Ko Chang-seok, and comedian Ahn Young-mi, surprised everyone by visiting their home. Ahn Young-mi suggested a 'Persona Ideal Type World Cup' to director Lee Byung-hun, whom she had worked with on ten projects, but he drew attention by saying, "No matter which actor you put up, Ahn Jae-hong is number one." In response, Ahn Young-mi asked, "If I bring someone to invest, can they become a persona?" to which director Lee Byung-hun humorously replied, "I will be your persona."
Additionally, Choi Cham-rang expressed her desire to act. Having played the role of Choi Cham-rang in the movie 'Twenty' alongside Yang Hyun-min, she stated, "If I can, I want to do it. I can do it if you just call me, and I don't mind small roles."
Watching this, Ko Chang-seok said, "My wife is also an actress. To pursue acting, she lost weight down to 37 kg. She didn't say it, but I realized she really wanted to act," while Ahn Young-mi joked, "After having a baby, I will really want to act. I want to go outside. I became a workaholic after having a baby."
