Yoon Hyun-min revealed his family history for the first time.
In the SBS entertainment program 'My Ugly Duckling' (hereafter 'MiuSae') broadcast on the afternoon of the 27th, Yoon Hyun-min was seen meeting his two mothers.
On this day’s broadcast, actor Yoon Hyun-min appeared as the first 'MiuSae'. Showing his neat personality by organizing the house meticulously, he complained to his mom who brought side dishes. When his mom expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "Why did you make such a mess?" despite the relatively clean refrigerator, Hyun-min sighed, saying, "I had everything organized."
As his mom continued to bombard him with nagging questions like, "Why did you take out the ironing board?" and "Why did you put this here?" Yoon Hyun-min said, "I suddenly feel tired," and lowered his head.
Later, Hyun-min told his mom, "It's soon Parents' Day, but I can't come because I'm busy. Here, take this carnation and credit card," and his mom brightened up, asking, "Can I spend it as I like? Did I eat something wrong?"
Yoon Hyun-min mentioned his late father, saying, "It's been a while since Dad's memorial. I plan to visit the columbarium. But I've been there a few times. I asked him to help my work go well." His mom hinted at the existence of another mother by saying, "So, is the ritual done there? You must give a cash gift to that mother too. It's only natural."
When Hyun-min said, "My friends are curious! When we meet at the ritual, I call her 'mother'," his mom replied, "That's because Dad remarried. You went camping a lot with Dad. What will you call that mother when you meet her? It's right to call her 'mother'," referring to the fact that his father had remarried.
Yoon Hyun-min's mom explained to the panel, "Hyun-min's father and I divorced when he was 3 years old, and his ex-husband remarried three years later. So I asked if he would call the person living with Dad 'auntie'."
Hyun-min's mom continued, "Bring a gift to your mother. She's getting older. Always be polite! Still, she let you see your dad before he passed away. Please tell her I am very grateful, and even though it might be uncomfortable at the funeral, she invited me, and I went," as she prepared a set of bellflower candy.
She added, "When you played baseball, Dad followed you around, and when I was there during your practice, I felt comfortable because she understood it well."
Yoon Hyun-min recalled, "I took a break from work for two years to take care of Dad. During that time, I talked a lot with him. Dad was such a strong person that he couldn't say sorry, but he told me he was sorry."
His mom conveyed her regret, saying, "My sister said that when you were young, the family broke apart, and Dad felt sorry. So he must have felt closer to you."
Yoon Hyun-min's mom, who became independent after her divorce at 33 with two sons, reflected, "I took a reckless challenge when I was young."
Later, Hyun-min visited another mother with his hands full of gifts. Facing his mother, Yoon Hyun-min said, "You look beautiful today~ Have you eaten? I ordered something delicious. You look even better! Dad's memorial is coming up, and it's Parents' Day in May, but I'm going into drama filming," and he joked.
He then pinned a carnation on his mother and gave her gifts like a hand massager.
When Yoon Hyun-min asked his mother, "Wasn't it hard when we first met?" she smiled and replied, "You all treated me well, and your father played his role well, so it wasn't hard."
Yoon Hyun-min said, "I met my mom earlier, and she was grateful for letting her see Dad before he passed away and for allowing her to go to the funeral home. So she asked me to give this bellflower candy to you."
Yoon Hyun-min recalled, "During my father's illness, I took a break from work. But Dad asked me, 'Are you ruined?' So I said, 'Dad has to get better for me to film dramas,' but thinking back, I realized Dad must have been looking forward to seeing me on TV. So I immediately got a variety show offer that could air on TV."
The second 'MiuSae' featured newlywed Kim Jong-min and prospective groom Kim Jun-ho. Kim Jun-ho surprised everyone by saying, "You and I have no concept of money," and invited frugal expert Jeon Won-joo.
Heading to a thrift store, Jeon Won-joo said, "The most I spend in life is on food. I can manage food expenses with 10,000 won a week," shocking even the Mobengers. Jeon Won-joo also taught them how to shop at a store that boasts prices much cheaper than supermarkets, saying, "You think 1,000 won is a joke?"
The three then went to see home appliances sold at low prices. Seeing a 20,000 won fan and a 170,000 won TV, Kim Jun-ho exclaimed, "I have to buy this," his eyes wide.
After shopping, Kim Jun-ho and Kim Jong-min took Jeon Won-joo to a sushi restaurant. During the meal, Kim Jun-ho asked, "Your wife seems very wealthy from the articles. Do you have any real estate investment tips?" Jeon Won-joo replied, "You need to befriend a few people who work in real estate. Ask them to call you when a bargain comes out. I was very close to Lee Eun-kyung before she passed away. We didn't go on trips; we went to real estate. A building in Sinchon was on a bargain. Now it's increased tenfold," sharing investment tips that surprised everyone.
Jeon Won-joo then assessed, "Jong-min is a good person but narrow-minded. Jun-ho may not be good at pleasing others, but his heart is in the right place," and when she saw a photo of Kim Ji-min, she said, "She's innocent and kind but doesn't know how to handle things. She's giving you the right advice," making everyone laugh.
Looking at a photo of Kim Jong-min's wife, she said, "She only knows her husband. You have to treat her well. If you do something wrong, she'll be extremely sad," surprising Kim Jong-min.
'My Ugly Duckling' airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM on SBS.
