In 'Salim Nam', Ji Sang-ryeol embarks on a rejuvenation project for marriage.
In the KBS2 show 'Salim Nam Season 2' airing on the 5th, Ji Sang-ryeol learns about the remarriage news of 'Salim Nam' MC Eun Ji-won, who is 9 years younger than him, through his sister-in-law. The sister-in-law continues to nag, saying, "Everyone else is getting married, why can't you, uncle?" To this, Ji Sang-ryeol laments, "Because people like Ji-won are getting married twice, the chances for guys like me to get married are decreasing," which brings laughter.
Eun Ji-won, who was watching this in the studio, cleverly offers a piece of advice, saying, "Look around you well," drawing attention.
Additionally, the sister-in-law points out Ji Sang-ryeol's increased belly fat and neck wrinkles, emphasizing that he needs to manage aging to get married. In response, Ji Sang-ryeol begins his rejuvenation project in earnest.
Later, he visits the home of Sunwoo Yong-yeo, the legendary sitcom matriarch and renowned actress, who recently transformed into Korea's oldest YouTuber at the age of 81. True to the title of 'the hottest 81-year-old in Korea', Sunwoo Yong-yeo showcases her Han River view house and shares her beauty and health secrets that help her maintain her youthful appearance, impressing the MCs.
Amid this, Sunwoo Yong-yeo also bombards Ji Sang-ryeol with affectionate marriage nagging, saying, "You should move out immediately," and "You need to have a child before you die," which brings laughter. She then shares her marriage story with her husband, who earned the title of 'the first celebrity to have a premarital pregnancy in Korea', and advises, "If you really like someone, you should express it actively."
In particular, seeing Ji Sang-ryeol, who can barely remember his last relationship, Sunwoo Yong-yeo's frustration explodes, and she boldly states, "You're not even a eunuch, why are you living like this?" showcasing her sharp wit and turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Ji Sang-ryeol retorts, "Even chickens lay eggs..." which elicits another round of laughter.
The 'language magician' Ji Sang-ryeol and the famously spicy and candid Sunwoo Yong-yeo's back-and-forth banter reportedly created a perfect chemistry that transcended generational differences, making the filming site a place of laughter.
‘Salim Nam’ airs every Saturday at 9:20 PM on KBS2.
