In ‘I Live Alone,’ Kim Dae-ho returned as a freelancer and revealed his daily life.

On the 21st, the episode aired on MBC’s entertainment show ‘I Live Alone,’ where Kim Dae-ho's daily life after returning as a freelancer and the appearance of Ok Ja-yeon, who moved to a new ‘Natural House,’ were unveiled.

On the 22nd, Nielsen Korea reported that the household rating for ‘I Live Alone’ aired the previous day was 6.0% based on the metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot. Additionally, the key 2049 rating, which is a major indicator for advertisers and assesses channel competitiveness, was 2.6% (metropolitan area basis), also ranking first in its time slot and among Friday entertainment programs.

The peak moment was when Kim Dae-ho went out on a weekday afternoon (23:44), showcasing a leisurely demeanor after becoming a freelancer. “It seems that I didn’t have a lack of time, but rather a lack of relaxation,” he noted, and his more comfortable appearance helped achieve a peak rating of 6.9%.

Kim Dae-ho, who returned to being a freelancer after about two months, savored the leisure of weekdays and began realizing his dreams. He noted that the boundary between work and rest had become clearer after resigning, and he couldn’t hide his continuous smile, freed from the pressure and tension of commuting. Kian84 remarked, “It’s not a freelancer declaration; it feels like he’s retired,” which brought laughter.

To welcome spring, Kim Dae-ho cleaned the roof and skylight of ‘Dae-ho House No. 2’ and felt pleased looking at the lush vivarium that had regained its vitality. He also took steps toward realizing his dreams by starting Spanish lessons and acoustic guitar classes that he had postponed.

After a day filled with dream realization, Kim Dae-ho returned home and enjoyed his first meal as a seasonal spring dish. While preparing spring greens salad and bibimbap with vegetables, he realized he had no rice and completed his ‘vegetable bibimbap’ by adding 10 fried eggs. The sight of Kim Dae-ho eating hurriedly prompted the Rainbow members to joke, “It was way more relaxed when he went to buy comic books during his announcer days,” causing bursts of laughter.

Having properly enjoyed his day off, Kim Dae-ho burst forth with his passion as a freelancer in the studio. Kian84 teased, “Why do you look so stressed after saying you’re freelance?” and Jeon Hyun-moo expressed, “Freelancers have to squeeze it out,” resonating with Kim Dae-ho’s enthusiastic efforts.

Meanwhile, Ok Ja-yeon burst forth with her colorful charm in her new ‘Natural House.’ Eating breakfast with lettuce and apples harvested from her garden, reading, and playing the piano, she maintained her unpredictable routine. Ok Ja-yeon mentioned she was practicing Sunwoo Jung-a’s “Let’s Run Away,” which provided much laughter with her pitch and octave issues. Having taken lessons, Ok Ja-yeon showcased her singing ability in the studio.

Ok Ja-yeon completed a natural meal full of spring aromas with her amazing cooking skills. For lunch, she made acorn jelly using acorn flour sent by her mother, and prepared acorn pancakes with plenty of seasoned greens and a perfect healthy meal using acorn jelly rice, garnering admiration. The Rainbow members even suggested that she should publish a cookbook.

Additionally, Ok Ja-yeon surprised everyone by showcasing her unexpected basketball skills. Having fallen in love with basketball after appearing in a basketball entertainment show in the past, she demonstrated high-level techniques from double-handed dribbling to layup shots. Especially as she succeeded in making a basket every time she threw the ball, Jeon Hyun-moo hilariously nicknamed her ‘Namyangju Ok Jang-hoon’ (Ok Ja-yeon + Seo Jang-hoon).

Meanwhile, Kim Dae-ho, who was empathizing with Ok Ja-yeon’s daily life, created an unexpected chemistry by saying, “I love the great outdoors,” which surprised the Rainbow members, while Kian84 joined in, forming an unexpected triangular dynamic. There is anticipation regarding what kind of chemistry the three will showcase moving forward.

Next week, Ki will unleash his cleaning passion in his newly moved house, and Lee Ju-seung will be seen hiking with his dog Coco to welcome spring, adding to the curiosity.
