The appearance of Im Ho and Song Il-guk on 'My Little Old Boy' captivated viewers with their unrestrained banter and an archery competition that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Thanks to its buzz, the episode aired on the 9th, achieved a 3.2% viewership rating among the 2049 age group, and recorded a 13.0% viewership rating in the Seoul metropolitan area, securing the top spot in weekly entertainment.
On that day, Special MC Seong Hoon appeared in the studio and noted, "Whenever I participate in a new project, I always hear from the director and writers, 'I will definitely strip once.'" While discussing how he manages to maintain his physique despite being a big eater, Seong Hoon revealed, "When the deposit comes in, it moves into the peak season. Today marks the transition from the off-season to the peak season," which elicited laughter.
As footage of him receiving a storm of slaps from a previous production played, everyone was astonished, and Seong Hoon remarked, "If I'm going to do it anyway, let's do it realistically, but looking at it now, I seem to have been hit so much that by the time (my hand) comes up, my head is already turned away," shaking his head.
Seong Hoon, who is known as a 'stingy guy' like Kim Jong Kook, shared, "My expenditures don't exceed 1 million won. Other than buying daily necessities, I have no place to spend money and only spend on delivery food."
Actors Kim Seung-soo, Im Ho, and Song Il-guk, clad in traditional royal attire, gathered together. Kim Seung-soo reminisced, "Originally, 'Jumong' was planned for 60 episodes, but it was extended by 21 episodes just four episodes before it ended. I appreciate all the love, but it was really very difficult." Song Il-guk added, "In fact, before that historical drama, I had such a tough time that I planned to travel abroad to avoid 'Jumong.' My mother called the production team and convinced me to participate. Thanks to that, the appearance fee increased a bit."
Kim Seung-soo revealed, "From a certain day, when I arrived at the filming location, I was just glued to my phone. Everyone knew about it," exposing Song Il-guk's romance. In response, Song Il-guk explained, "Thanks to the script not coming out, I had two days off that allowed me to go on a blind date and meet again the next day, which led to marriage." When asked by Kim Seung-soo, "What level is your status in the family?" Im Ho replied, "Um... a happy servant," prompting Song Il-guk to laugh and say, "I know exactly what you mean. Why do I feel like crying?"
The three participated in an archery competition, betting on the New Year's money given by Kim Seung-soo. When Song Il-guk's final arrow dramatically hit the bullseye, cheers erupted in the studio. The recipients of the actual smartphone gift, Dae-han, Min-guk, and Man-se, expressed, "It's much better than the novel anthology gift from my father. I will greet the New Year with video calls every year and pray for you to find good people and live healthily for a long time."
At the end of the broadcast, a quirky travel itinerary of Lee Sang-min, Kim Jun-ho, and Lee Yong-dae, who traveled to Osaka, captivated interest.
