Finally meeting Tony An, Kim Jong-min headed to Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province. He had planned to meet Chun Myung-hoon, who lives in Yangpyeong, to have an 'invitation party.' Inside the car, Kim Jong-min asked, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' Tony An replied, 'I don't have a girlfriend, but it seems like it's the time to think about marriage.' He said, 'I'm doing an academy with Bae Yoon-jung, and the kids who come to the academy are really cute, so I started thinking about getting married.' He added, 'Now that you’re going, it puts more pressure on me. I feel like I have to go before I turn 50.' Moments later, they arrived at Chun Myung-hoon's house. Chun Myung-hoon saw Kim Jong-min and congratulated him, saying, 'I heard the news. I feel like I'm going to cry.' Kim Jong-min responded, 'I want to give you good energy,' and then handed over the invitations. Tony An said, 'I usually never sing at weddings, but I will sing a congratulatory song in advance,' as he grabbed the microphone. Next, Chun Myung-hoon mentioned, 'Actually, I prepared a letter when I heard about Jong-min's wedding,' and read a congratulatory message. He said, 'Honestly, it was hard to believe this was happening. I'm proud of you, but I'm also envious. I believe you will live well with your future wife,' and his eyes welled up with tears.
Chun Myung-hoon also prepared a nourishing meal for Kim Jong-min. During the meal, Kim Jong-min suddenly asked, 'Did you cook well for your ex-girlfriend?' and confessed, 'I emceed her wedding.' Chun Myung-hoon reacted in surprise, asking, 'Really? Why?' Amidst their hilarious chemistry, Chun Myung-hoon's mother made an appearance. She joked, 'I thought my son would go first,' and added, 'I was hoping to have Eum Ga-eun as a daughter-in-law,' making everyone burst into laughter. Later, Kim Jong-min also called his mother. When asked by Tony An about what he liked about the future daughter-in-law, his mother praised her, saying, 'She is smart and kind.' Kim Jong-min bragged, 'I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend and my mom. But people thought I was the son-in-law.' His mother expressed her wish, saying, 'I hope to have grandchildren soon. I no longer need pocket money; I just want my son and daughter-in-law to be happy.'
Shortly after, an alarm went off on Kim Jong-min's mobile phone. He explained, 'Today marks 900 days with my girlfriend,' and revealed, 'I recently proposed.' Kim Jong-min shared photos, saying, 'I rented a restaurant and put lights up in the woods. I asked, 'Will you marry me?' while giving her a ring, and my girlfriend said, 'Sure.' I think it’s the best thing I've ever done in my life,' he said with emotion. The 'Studio Mentor Corps' expressed, 'Jong-min's face is shining,' and Kim Jong-min encouraged, 'You guys can do it too!' as they finished their 'invitation party.'
Next, a date between Kim Il-woo and Park Sun-young was revealed. The two warmly shopped together at a traditional market. Citizens cheered, saying, 'You two look good together,' and 'I hope you get married.' After shopping under the keen interest of many, they entered a beautiful hanok accommodation to prepare a meal. Kim Il-woo said, 'It’s a bit embarrassing, but today marks exactly 100 days since I met Sun-young at the studio,' and added, 'I also prepared a surprise 100-day event for Sun-young.' Unaware, Park Sun-young made bibimbap while Kim Il-woo prepared a hearty table with beef soup made with a medicinal herb. Meanwhile, actress Yang Hee-gyeong made a surprise visit to the accommodation. Kim Il-woo explained, 'She is like family with almost 30 years of friendship. She knows me the best, so I wanted to introduce her to Sun-young.'
Yang Hee-gyeong commented on their appearance, saying, 'Sun-young is the owner of this house, while Il-woo looks like a servant. It looks like a newlywed couple is having a housewarming.' Later, during the meal, she noted, 'It’s been a while since I saw both of you, and it seems like you’ve both changed for the better. You two could probably live together now,' which warmed the studio. Just then, the 100-day rice cake prepared by Kim Il-woo arrived, and Park Sun-young expressed her feelings about Kim Il-woo's thoughtful event, saying, 'Was today the 100th day?' She then said, 'I'm so grateful to have Il-woo oppa with me,' to which Kim Il-woo responded, 'My mother thinks Sun-young is almost going to be a daughter-in-law,' making everyone burst into laughter. Yang Hee-gyeong also chimed in, saying, 'Let her become a daughter-in-law soon.'
