Park Hyun-ho from 'Groom Class' shed tears of emotion at Eun Ga-eun's reverse proposal.
In the 154th episode of Channel A's 'Recent Men's Life - Groom Class (hereafter referred to as 'Groom Class')' broadcast on the afternoon of the 12th, Kim Il-woo had a thrilling day on his first date with Park Sun-young at a house in Gangneung. Additionally, with their wedding approaching on April 12, Park Hyun-ho and Eun Ga-eun were looking at their new home when Eun Ga-eun surprised Park Hyun-ho, moving not only him but also the viewers. The broadcast recorded a rating of 3.055% according to Nielsen Korea, dominating various portal sites in terms of popular news and search terms and showing explosive topicality.
Kim Il-woo started his day making bread at a bakery in Gangneung, as usual. During this time, Park Sun-young surprised him with an unexpected visit. The bakery's Director General and manager welcomed her, saying, "You came a long way" and gifted a beautiful loaf of bread to Park Sun-young, wishing them sweet love. Amid everyone's support, the couple walked along a nearby beach, and Kim Il-woo wrote the words 'I love Sun-young' in the sand, earning a compliment from Park Sun-young who said, "That's cute." Taking courage, Kim Il-woo suggested, "Since my house is nearby, let's go up once." Upon visiting Kim Il-woo's house for the first time, Park Sun-young was amazed by the neat interior and the cool ocean view, repeatedly exclaiming, "This house is so nice," and later handed him homemade water kimchi and various side dishes, saying, "I brought this from yesterday."
Grateful for the thoughtful gift, Kim Il-woo later sat on the living room sofa with Park Sun-young, showing her the photos they had taken so far on TV. The pictures beautifully captured the gifts Park Sun-young had given Kim Il-woo over time, and surprised by Kim Il-woo's attentiveness, Park Sun-young was momentarily at a loss for words. Amid the sweet moment, Park Sun-young said she would make him bean sprout rice and headed to the kitchen. Kim Il-woo handed her an apron and tied its waist string for her. As Park Sun-young began to cook in earnest, she complimented, "Oppa, the kitchen makes me want to cook. I want it," to which Kim Il-woo boldly responded, "Take me away," making Park Sun-young burst out laughing.
When the bean sprout rice was completed, Kim Il-woo playfully said, "That's a lot! Eat all of this before you leave!" Park Sun-young jokingly replied, "Is it okay to eat this for breakfast tomorrow?" coloring the surroundings pink. While they were eating in a 'cutesy' mode, Kim Il-woo showed a sunrise video he had taken, saying, "It's really spectacular to see the sunrise from my house," and added, "Sun-young! Come see the sunrise!" Meanwhile, in an interview with the production team, Kim Il-woo expressed, "Since Sun-young came, my house really feels like a home," and added, "It feels like something is filling up, it's become a 'complete home,'" unable to hide his happiness. With their date at home warming hearts, the new home search project for soon-to-be-wed Park Hyun-ho and Eun Ga-eun began.
That day, Park Hyun-ho greeted the morning sweetly while giving Eun Ga-eun a back hug. He then shared, "I've gained a lot of weight because I've been busy with wedding invitation meetings lately," expressing a happy concern. Eun Ga-eun made a Caprese salad to help manage Park Hyun-ho's diet. They later talked about their wedding preparations, during which Eun Ga-eun revealed her dream of finding a long-term home, saying, "I want to find a house where we will live for a long time now." She also asked Park Hyun-ho, "I can manage about 150 million won if I 'might as well go all in,' how much do you have?" Park Hyun-ho honestly replied, "I also have about 150 million won." The couple decided to look for a new house with a total budget of 300 million won, while Eun Ga-eun reminisced, "This will be my 19th move. I started in a goshiwon when I came to Seoul, and there were times when I sat on the street because I had no security deposit," and added, "I want to find a house where we can live long, but it doesn't have to be in Seoul. I want to move to a bigger place." Conversely, Park Hyun-ho expressed, "Since Ga-eun will have to run a radio program every day and we will have a baby right after our wedding in April, wouldn't it be better to have our new home in Seoul?" showcasing their opposing viewpoints.
Immediately after, the couple visited a real estate agent for consultation. The certified broker introduced houses that reflected their preferences, and after viewing a small but well-equipped villa in Seoul and a large apartment complex in the Gyeonggi Province, Park Hyun-ho and Eun Ga-eun entered a high-end villa in Seoul for the last stop. However, the place was filled with their photos and flower decorations, surprising Park Hyun-ho. It turned out to be a 'reverse proposal' event that Eun Ga-eun had prepared in advance. Eun Ga-eun approached a bewildered Park Hyun-ho and kissed him, while Park Hyun-ho exclaimed, "I feel like I might cry. Why haven't I done this until now?" feeling emotional. Eun Ga-eun explained her reason for preparing the event, saying, "Looking at the photos of Hyun-ho I've taken, I see he has been carrying the heavy burden alone. That made me sad. He's always the one taking care of me, and I feel like I've really only received." Then, Eun Ga-eun handed him a ring she had brought beforehand and knelt down, asking, "Will you be my husband instead of just my boyfriend?" Park Hyun-ho was moved, saying, "Isn't this something a guy should do?" As if jokingly, Eun Ga-eun responded, "You didn't do it enough, so I did it. Why?" while also shedding tears. Witnessing this, the 'Studio Mentor Squadron' expressed, "So beautiful, you two," supporting them and warming the hearts of viewers.
