On MBC's 'I Live Alone,' which aired on 4th, Park Na-rae appeared as the first guest of the special segment 'Spring Refreshing Rainbow,' showcasing her dedication to health and the 'Woo-il House' of variety show sensation Lim Woo-il.
On 3rd, viewership ratings firm Nielsen Korea reported that the household rating for 'I Live Alone,' aired the previous day, was 5.6% in the metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot and among Friday's variety shows. Additionally, the crucial 2049 ratings, a key indicator for advertisers and competitive channel performance, stood at 3.0% (in the metropolitan area), securing first place in its time slot and overall ranking among Friday's programs.
The peak moment was when Kian84 shared a 'thief eradication method' at 23:58 to help solve Park Na-rae's worries, showcasing both individuals' desire to care for each other's pain and seek solutions, reminiscent of a 'loving old couple' dynamic, creating a warm atmosphere. Consequently, the ratings soared to a high of 6.8%.
Park Na-rae visited a hospital to take care of her long-ignored health. She had a fibroepithelial polyp, colloquially known as 'a skin tag,' removed and consulted a hair loss specialist for tests and a proper diagnosis. After showcasing flashy hairstyles akin to idols in the past and successfully improving her beauty after a 'body profile' shoot, Park Na-rae was shocked to see her significantly changed hair condition.
After hearing that increased male hormones due to stress and aging were causing her hair loss, Park Na-rae realized the importance of care and treatment. Moreover, she asked numerous questions regarding various rumors about hair loss, notably inquiring about chest hair and hair transplants for Jun Hyun-moo, which elicited laughter. After leaving the hospital, she stopped by a bookstore and bought a pile of books focused on stress management and mental wellness, surprising everyone by choosing books based solely on their covers and titles without checking the content.
Later, after visiting Kian84's studio, Park Na-rae shared her experiences from the hair loss specialist and exchanged information. Upon hearing Park Na-rae's story, Kian84 expressed concern and displayed regret for not being able to help. Park Na-rae expressed her gratitude to Kian84, saying, 'You are the first person I think of when I'm struggling.'
He also opened up his heart about the distress caused by outrageous fake news related to his recent 5.5 billion won home robbery incident. After the robbery incident became known, false rumors spread, suggesting that the thief was comedian Jang Doyoun, a close friend of Park Na-rae. Park Na-rae confessed, 'I feel sorry even though I am the victim.' In the studio, she reassured the rainbow members who were worried about her that the theft incident had been fully resolved, stating that her related stress has also been 'refreshed,' while smiling.
Meanwhile, comedian Lim Woo-il, who has become a 'variety show sensation' after 15 years of debut, unveiled his 'Woo-il House' filled with a sense of humanity. His hairstyle reminiscent of a runaway slave and an unexpected 'nude(?) frame' surprised the rainbow members. He explained that the picture was taken with his team from when he was an aspiring comedian and that it was the most innocent among them, eliciting laughter.
Lim Woo-il's 'Woo-il House' features a spacious living room and a closet with an unobstructed view of the Han River. He noted, 'This is the house where senior Ohnami lived as her newlywed home. The moving date matched, and I moved in as a jeonse.' Park Na-rae empathized, saying, 'I inherited the house where sister Kim Ji-min used to live.' Additionally, he boasted about the 'Woo-il House' filled with support from around him, including a refrigerator and dining table passed on by Ohnami, a washing machine gifted by Yoo Jae-suk, and an air conditioner, induction stove, bidet, microwave, and vacuum cleaner gifted by fellow comedians.
His unique thrifty spirit, born from years of obscurity, also caught attention. His refrigerator was filled with bags of frozen food, including coffee brought from filming sets and leftover meals. Lim Woo-il humorously claimed, 'I'm still alive,' proving the reliability of frozen food through his life experiences. Park Na-rae remarked, 'He is truly thrifty. That's why everyone congratulated Woo-il on his success,' while Jun Hyun-moo added, 'A upgraded version of Kian84 has emerged,' bringing about laughter.
On the other hand, Lim Woo-il, who enjoys animals, visited his junior comedians' homes to spend healing time with their cats and prepared a banquet to share with close juniors upon returning home. The special friendship between senior and junior comedians, who shared house passwords to help one another, came as a delightful surprise. Lim Woo-il reflected, 'I feel that I'm pretty lucky,' reminiscing about their efforts to support and trust each other in the past. His heartfelt story drew support from rainbow members and viewers alike.
Next week, a preview raised expectations for the second week of the 'Spring Refreshing Rainbow' special featuring Jun Hyun-moo in the 'Immunity Enhancement Project' and the appearance of his long-time friends, An Jae-hyun.
